RUSSIANS PRESS FORWARD

LONDON, Jan. 21.-The Russians have now under taken three fold assault against both the Germans and the Austans in the different parts of the great eastern battle ground The Russian advance has assumed steam roller characteristics and advance into East Prussia has been reported that threatens the German lines ot com munications in Poland There is nothing very definite stated in these dispatches which are unofficial but their tone is very optimistic Trench warfare continues in the Polish heater in the western field of war but only very small results be reported by either side Russia is exulting however, great German losses which are so large that they bound to tell on the n vaders from this time forward The greatest losses have been sustained by the enemy in the effort hold the pre- sent positions against the attacks of the great masses of Russian troops employed in the assaults. It cannot be denied that if the Germans lose so much in their defense of their positions the Russians must also be losing very heavily but Russia can stand such losses much better than Germany that the advantage remains with the troops of the Grand Duke Nicholas.

AUSTRIANS BROKEN

LONDON Jan. 21.-Dispatches from PetrOgrad state that in southern Poland and Galcia the Austrian resistance has been broken leaving Pennsylvania open to the Russians The Russian advance in that quarter will bring further along the Roumanian border and towards the Sevan line Should the Russians succeed in reaching Seva and joining its forces to those of the Seans an immense advantage would be gained Reports that Rou mania will enter the war still continue. It is plain now however, that the positive statements made some time ago that Roumana had decided to join the allies were pre- mature Her smpathes lie in favor of the allies but there are many other considerations of grave nature which she must take into account before committing herself to such struggle Russia is undoubtedly bringing strong pressure on her but Germany and Austria are pressing just as strongly on the other side and she finds herself in peculiar predcament which is certainly not Smpfed by the action that Bulgaria might take Roumania cast her lot with the allied armies Just the aid of hundreds of thousands of trained Roumanian troops would be in estimable to the Russians in the southeast.

BOY SCOUTS JOIN
 THE REGULAR ARMY.
(By The Associated PressA

LONDON, Jan 20.-There are now over 10000 old Boy Scouts serving the army at the front and making splendid soldiers, says General Baden Powell, chief of the organization.
 The General has just returned from York, where he made a satisfactory arrangement with the education auth critics in regard to the scouts serv. ing as messengers and office boys in the military headquarters there. By this arrangement, the boys give one week to the army and an alternate week to their schools.
 A significant announcement is the opening of the Scouts Defense Force to boys of 15, which would give them a year of training, it is said, in case the age of enlistment in the army is lowered to fifteen years.

 A clipping from an exchange in the Alaska column today shows that the new federal attorney for the First div ision is from Tennessee. The Presi- dent evidently thinks that southerners should boss the northerners. To prove his neutrality he ought to send some Alaskans to jobs down south.

LONDON SHRINKS.
(By The Associated Press.)

LONDON, Jan 2O.-For the first time in years a new edition of Lon don's city directory shows a shrink age. The 1914 directory weighed ex- actly 15 pounds. The directory for 1915 has wasted away to l4 pounds IA ounces. Part of the two ounce loss is due to the disappearance of Ger man and Austrian firms. This direc- tory contains the names of business houses, professional men and house holders, but the population living in hotels of boarding houses is not men toned, so that it is difficult to ascer- tain the shrinkage due to enlistments.

PLANS
FOR SOLDIERS
PLEASE: POSTS
Army Men Gratified at Pari
They Will Play in Events
Festival Week

.tThe soldiers at all the posts here
are very much pleased with the pro-
visions and plans made for them in
the Carnival declared Maj E. ".
Smith today.
Maj. Smith made this statement in
reply to q question concerning the at
titude of the soldiers toward the COM
ing celebration.
Elaborate plans have been made for
the soldiers in the Carnival Some
special entertainment will be pro-
yided for them on almost every one Of
the eight days of the celebrations A
huge ball at the Armory will be given
i'm their honor soon after the opening
OF the Carnival and many smaller en-
tertainments have been arranged.
In addition to their part in the pro-
gram, the directors of the Carnival
decided several days agn to admit
soldiers to all events under the control
of the Carnival corporation at half
rate. This includes even the paradesI
where q soldier may get seat In the
bleachers for 20 cents instead OF so
cents. Possibly the only exception tol
the haif-rate rule will be the baseball
games. The Carnival corporation viii
get only percentage Of the receipts.
and has no authority to reduce the
price OF admission tickets.
Only a few complimentaries have
been issued. Every effort is being
made TO bring the receipts from the
ticket sale up to thai of last year de-
spite the reduction.

REQ Rivals Welcome
To Inspect Big Plant
Says General Manager

ager Of the REQ oMtor Car company, to
a party of visiting engineers he was
showing through the big 30-acre ReA
plants at Lansing.
"But | think here s something that
will be entirely new even to thos pres
ent."
The party stopped beside what ap,
peared to be an electrical apparatus for
testing une rear axle>of an automobile.
"I've seen one similar to that, " said
one OF the engineers. "It for testing

it does more tnan that. 1t not only
tests the efficiency Of the gears but
discloses and Hocates any gear noises
And it goes further than that. You
will notice there are two generators
instead of one. The second is to test
the coasting noises-it produces an ef

car is coasting down hill and driving

HAVE YOU A LITTLE
FAIRY IN YOUR HOME?

Have you little fairy in your home
This time, we do not mean fairy soap,
but real, wide-awake, happy little boys
and girls who would brighten any home
with their spontaneity, and who would
reflect the wholesome, affectionate at
mosphere Of your home.
1t is really matter of selection, if
you have good home and desire to
snare lit with q less fortunate little
boy or girl. And yet when you come
to select, it is difficult matter for
there are Ira, and Mike, and Ambrose,
and ever so many other boys.
Ira is dear. He is olive-skinned, has
soft eyes, and is very lovable.
Mike is our baby. He is little and
has been sick because he was not props
erly nourished before he was commit
| ted to the institution. When he was
beginning to get better his nurse tried
to arouse his interst by talking to him
about Christmas.
"Santa Claus never comes to me, =
lhe informed her with pathetic decision.
90 But if he should come this time, -
she coaxed, "what would you like -
"Peanuts, was his simple request.
"They re long" he added wistfully.
Ambrose is fine looking lad and
does remarkably well in his school
work. He promises to be well worth
while.
There are girls too-thirty Of them.
Claudia is eight, but small for her age.
Somehow she reminds one Of the timid
things Of the woods. She is quick in
her movements, keen in her intellect,
and there is something fascinating and
elusively artistic in her healthy pallor
and her straight, brown hair.
However, this is but small fraction
Of the children we have, who appeal,
each in his or her own invididual way.
If you would step into the dining room
and meet with the affectionate greet
ing of one they consider friend, or
pause in the doorway of their dormi-
tories at beltime, you would feel for
yourself each separate appeal, and wish
it possible to take several and give
them the comfortable home and clotn-
ing, the good schooling, and the real
affectionate interest, which are the
birthright Of every child.
And so in case you wish to add q
human fairy to your household address
your communication to the Superintend-
ent of the Boys and Girls Aid Society,
in Portland.

sound to be considered is what the
REQ folk cal "coasting noises. y
"Fpr from being fogies, the REQ
folk are recognized in the industry as
being the foremost in the development
Of new and better devices for accurate
machining and accurate testing Of the
parts and chassis Of automobiles. If
Vice President Scott has one hobby it s
thnt of factory equipment. His great
delight is to try out the very newest
thing in mechanical science, and he Is
authority for the statement that the
automobile has done more to develop
automatic tools than any other mechan-
Neal device tnpt has ever been known.
REQ was one of the very first, if not
the first, to apply dynamometer test
to motors, and instead of testing only
one motor out Of every ten or twenty,
the REQ folk test every individual mo-
tor by dynamometer. The ampere volt
age readings are taken at the various
driving speeds and the exact horsepow-
or developed by each individual motor
at the different speeds is automatically
recorded.
So thoroughly is REQ leadership rec
ognized in this regard, scarcely a day
passes without visit to the REQ plants
Of some delegation Of engineers from
other factories, to study the newest
wrinkles and to learn better ways Of
doing things.
"We are aften asked,v said Mr..
Scott, whether we think it is q good
policy to keep open house for our RI
| vals-tor Of course you know that the
latchstring is always on the outside
and we cordially invite engineers from
rival concerns to go through the REQ
factories.
81 have sometimes been amused by
the secrecy attempted by some factor
les. have found invariably that when
you once penetrate the wall you find
nothing. Engineers who keep their
doors closed TO others generally shut
out from themselves more than from
their rivals. We find that the open.
door-policy pays"
" At the same time engineers learn
here some better wav of doing, we also
learn from them. And, though we may
seem little slow, because Of our con.
servatism in the matter Of quantity
production, we are Just conceited
enough to think that by the time others
have copied our present method we
| win have developed another that il
better. In other words, we have al.
ways mnaaged to keep just one step
ahead--and that satisfies u.s."
