Germans Drive Cars Army
Out of Fatherland, Inflict-

Enemy.

PETROGRAD, Feb 12.-Heavy re
Inducements which the Germans are
receiving have practically driven the
Russians out OF East Prussia, it was
admitted in an official statement is
sued by the general headquarters to-
day. The statement however, says
that the Russians are falling back
simply to re-arrange their forces and
effect a greater concentration, which
arrangement can best be made on Rus
sian territory.
Dealing with the general situation,
the statement says that small encount-
ers have taken place on the right bank
Of the Vistula; cannonades on the left
bank Of that river; and in the Carpath-
ians all attacks by the Austro-G German
forces have been repulsed.
The official statement follows:
TT was recently definitely ascertain
ed that a new army corps had appear
ed in East Prussia, formed partly from
Prussian troops from the western
front, partly from new recruits and
partly from reserve forces. This radl-
cally changes the situation and necess-
itates the falling back Of our troops in
order to assure the possibility Of re-
arranging them thus affecting a great
er concentration.
"Such an object can best be attain
ed on our own territory and in the
shadow Of our own fortresses. 1t must
be presumed that we are on the eve
of a great long operation which ought
definitely to decide the struggle in
eastern Prussia.
"This circumstance will render
necessary some brevity In our COM
munications regarding future fighting,
taking into account the strict necessity
for keeping our operations secret"

friends Meeting
CALLS CONFERENCE
ON BUILDING SITE

No settlement of the controversy re-
garding the proposed site Of the new
West Richmond Friends church was
reached at the monthly meeting of
the congregation last night. The dead
lock still exists, following the discus
sion last night.
Two locations have been suggested
since the question of building came
up. Officials Of Earlham college have
gone on record as favoring location
at the northeast corner of the Earl
ham campus. while many of the mem
bers of the church feel that 1t should
be located on the north side of the
National road.
The members last night voted to
hold a mass meeting In Lindley hall
next Sunday for the purpose of dis
cussing the selection of a site for the
proposed building.

Under the present system proper

small salaries and must devote the

Mr.. Davis declared that if the salary
of the city health officer were In
creased to $4,000, four times more than
