army would be broken. But at the
San the Germans were checked; and
from that time the Russians, while
going back, have retreated slowly and
in good order and. excepting at 'Novo
Georgievsk, have left to the Germans
nothing of military value, nothing ex-
cept abandoned forts stripped of their
guns and denuded of supplies.
With Warsaw evacuated and the
line OF the Vistuia firmly in their con-
troi, the Germans had before them
three alternatives-first, to hold the
line of the Vistula defensively, which
they could do with their own borders
in perfect security, and strike west
against the French and British on the
French front: second, to hold the
Vistula line and strike south to as
sist Turkey in Gallipoli and Austria
against Italy: or. to continue in the
attempt to crush Russia.
They chose the last, and began
what was practically 4 new advance
against an enemy, fewer in numbers,
inferior in artillery and munitions, in
a titanic movement to accomplish in
the few fighting days still left before
the rainy season what they failed to
accomplish in the four months pre-
ceGing-to settle Russia either by
forcing a peace or by comflete de-
feat so that their full force could be
eXerted in other fields.
This decision against Russia can
only be obtained by compelling Rus
sia to accept battle. Up to the pres
ent time the Russians, appreciating
their inferiority in fighting strength
of men and munitions. have shown
no indication of being willing to ac-
cent the gage thus thrown down.
Whether the assumption of the su.
preme command by the Car will
cause a change in this attitude can
not be foretold.

finer feat has been accomplished in
the course of tie war than the man
ner in which the troops destined for
the main movement against Sari Rair
ridge were deployed for the attack.
Millions Of rounds of ammunition
and thousands Of shells were success
fully concentrated at advance posts
without the enemy becoming aware
of the movement. Neither did he
know of the strong achievements
which had reached the Australian
corps. All this required the utmost
skill, and was successfully kept
profound secret.
It was at nine p. m. August s
when the force destined to attack
old No. post crept forward from
the outposts. For nights past the
navy had thrown searchlights on this
and other lower positions and had
bombarded them at frequent inter-
walls. This procedure was not de-
parted from on the sixth, and the
Turks had no suspicion of the COM
ing attack. When the lights were
switched on to another position the
Australians dashed forward and
speedily captured the positions in
succession, and throughout the night
Bauchop's Hill and Big and Little
Table Tops were occupied.
BY the morning Of the seventh our
whole force was holding the front
from Dramatically Bahr to Sail Dere
and slowly moving toward the main
Sari Bair position in face of great
difficulties, harassed by the enelny's
snipers and checked by the difficult
ties of the ground and the scarcity of
water. :.
At dawn on the seventh the left Of
our line had reached the Asma Dere
nosition. The Indians had advanced

"Who is Santa Claus?'
That was the question asked by
hundreds last night when the old
white-whiskered gentleman was d.
recting the distribution of candy at
the municipal Christmas tree. Nc
one save Jack Robinson and Santa
himself knew. His identity had been
an absolute secret and none could
guess his everyday name, even
though MI Robinson offered extra
candy for the one guessing correct
ly.
Santa almost gave himself away
when he burst into song. He sang in
a strange tongue and some of the
children thought it was the language
of the far northland As a matter nt
fact he was singing in the Nez Perce
tongue and these is only enc white
man in the community who can do
that Therefore. some went away
satisfied that the genial old Kris
Kringle was none other than Rev. j.
NJ. Cornelison, the missioary at Tt

would not deny that he had acted the

Delicacies sent to Front.
First went the mail for the soldiers

at the end Of the rail journey the
packages had to be carried 100 and
sometimes 200 miles over terrible
roads and mountains. In the last few
weeks the Christmas mail has taken
preference over everything except
ammunition. And such a Christmas
mail, No home in richest Berlin will
have as many delicacies as have been
sent to the front
There was more caviar in the
Christmas packages than will be eat
en- in German homes in the next three
months. One store in Berlin alone
sold enough delicacies for the soldi-
ers to feed Berlin for two weeks.
Tiny Trees Sent Out
Thousands of tiny but real Christ
mas trees with real candles have been
sent out in packages is inches high.
These will shed a cherry light on

BUSINESS is MOVING IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION
ACTIVITY IN AMERICA Is NOT AL
TOGETHER DUE TO WAR
IN EUROPE.

CHICAGO, Dec 25.-Evidences OF
business activity and growing pros
perity manifest themselves on all
sides. They find reflection in highly
satisfactory railway and industrial
corporation reports, higher prices for
steel products. crude and refined Pc
troleum and in practically all other
commodities, the full employment Of
labor at high wages and in the higher
rates of many dividend disbursements
How much of this is traceabIe to
the war business and how much rep
resents an expansion of domestic bus
mess is difficult to determine There
are reasons to believe that domestic
business, independent of the stimulus
received from the so-called war or
der business. has been overestmated.
The fact remains, however, that even
this domestic business is making pro.
gress in the right direction,
Much Credit still Unused.
Individual deposit accounts contin-
lie to indicate a large amount Of un-
used credit, a condition that would
not exist were business generally as
active as statistics of superficial
character are likely to lead one to be-
lieve. The volume of business with
Europe is enormous, which is daily
strengthening the American financial
position. and if this continues long
American business will find itself
strongly fortified but it is generally
conceded that this cannot continue
active unless the demand keeps up.
and until domestic requirements are
sufficient to replace the demand that
is now so insistent from abroad the
country cannot be said to be on a firm
foundation for a long period Of sus-
tanned prosperity,
