THE WINNING OF WARSAW

The winning of Warsaw may
have an important bearing on the
war in Europe. 1t is not merely
the victory at the capital Of Poland
that counts. That is an unimpor-
tant event in the conQuering Of Rus
sla. When Warsaw Is won the Ger
mans are not comparatively as far
in Russia as they are in France. It
is ESQ miles from Warsaw to Pc.
trograd and about the same to Mos
COW. The Russians can withdraw
their army into the interior as they
did with Napoleon and practically
be unconQuered.
Russia's part in the war is to
keep Germany so actively employed
in the east that It cannot spare
troops for the western front until
the Allies are ready. If the win
ming of Warsaw is attended by such
paralysis of the Russians that a
million or more men can be rush
ed to the west for a terrific drive
against Paris there may be a sad
story to tell for the Allies and the
Ksiser's prediction that the war will
he over before winter may come
true. And again it, may not. for
England is said to be putting a mill
lion men in France. The next two
months are likely to tell whether
We shall have long years of war. or

extravagant body and the larges
flock OF cylinders, would not cos

lars.
!, Suppose somebody gave you sucl
a machine. and suppose that sam'
somebody said to you: "You car
keep this machine running fol
ninety years, and the upkeep will
not cost you more than a dollar q
day"
What marvellous care you would
take of that machine!
You would study 1t, save It. nurse
II, respect 1t. Isn't that true?
You would be pointed out as the
man having the most wonderful
machine In the world, a machine
that will last ninety years IL well
taken care of. a machine OF high
power and great earning capacity.
with an upkeep of only a dollar a
day.
You would sit proudly and
straight in the front seat-THAT
machine would NOT be neglected!
BUT DID IT EVER OCCUR TO
YOU THAT YOU HAVE A MA
CHINE FULLY AS GREAT THAT
WAS GIVEN YOU WITH THAT IN
JUNCTION?
And the machine you have is
surely worth more than EIGHT
THOUSAND DOLLARS!
You are a man with one life au-
tomobile-YOUR OWN BoDY-in
which you travel. You can never
get another and the parts Of that
machine, good or bad, you must
keep and work, doing the best You
can with them, for the factory
keeps no new parts.
Are you TAKING CARE of that
machine? Are you studying it?
Are you looking after every bit OF
the delicate mechanism?
Are you looking after the body
az you would a fine automobile of
high power?
Almost every one Of us does
to his human machinery
he would not dream Of doing to a
valuable automobile.
When the owner of an automobile
finds his car is getting too hot, the
radiator boiling over and the en-
CINE in danger of being clogged,
perhaps heated red hot and ruined,
he stops the car and investigates.
He lets it cool off. He goes over
1t carefully to learn the trouble.
And when he finds out he tries
to see to it that 1t doesn't happen
again!
But of the body machine. You
business men do to your body what
you would never think Of doing to
your automobile, that machine Of
Iron and wood. You overwork your
body. You exhaust 1t. You KNOW
you should stop, rest, cool off and
give 1t a thorough overhauling.
Still you drive on and on, say
ing: "I'll stop tomorrow. I'll rest
md take a vacation later"
It's only when you are FACING
A LONG vACATION-when you
realize the machine is beyond re-
pair- that you really do stop.
Yop find at last you CANNOT
BUY NEW PARTS for your body
machine. You cannot get another

THE VALUED ENDORSEMENT OF
A LADY

Dear Sir: Will you please accept
these few words as coming from .
woman, one who feels that she would
like to congratulate you on the brave
stand you have taken-alwcys in de-
tense of our beloved State and her
beloved people.
Why is it that we have not more
brave men just like you? You have
many admirers, both men and women,
in our State; but somehow they seem
afraid to speak out.
Though not a subscriber, I read
The Jeffersonian from my neighbor.
Am with you always on the Roman
Catholic question, the Foreign Mis-
sionary, and the Frank case. What
disgrace to our State this case has
proven to be through the commuta-
ton of sentence by our Governor!
Slaton will hereafter, | am sure, take
back seat.
Long may you live, and ever be
prosperous. is the wish Of one woman
who admires you for the brave stand
you take.

Dear Sir: We, the undersigned
citizens of Sunemertown, Emanuel

hereby wish to express our apprecia-
ton and heartfelt thanks to you for
the grand and noble fight you made
in the Leo M. Frank case, where poor
little Mary Phagan died rather than
give up her virtue. While her blood
cries to heaven for vengeance, we are
sure you did your duty.
Governor Stations overriding State
and Supreme Court decisions, and
committing Frank, is enough to teach
us that poor girls of the State Of
Georgia have no protection outside of
mob vengeance.

London, March 15-Mystery envelops
the progress of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg's latest advance into Pol
and, but it Is thought that the vast
forces along the line from the Niemen
to the Vistula can not much longer
be kept from decisive contact unless
the direction of the German offensive
undergoes radical change.
At present the meager information
indicates the Germans have been sue
cessful in the forest Of Augustowo.
when the Russians have fallen back
under the guns of Grodno. Further
south the German advance has been
stayed, and the Russians are initiating
an advance on the northern bank or
the Vistula in the direction Of Plock.
So far as the Germans are concerned
however, all Of these movements may
be abandoned, and central Poland
again become the scene Of deter
mined attack on Warsaw. 1t is recalled
that Won Hindenburg never has been
fond of moving far from his lines OF
railreed communication:
Russ Progress in carpathians.
In the Carpathians the Russians evil
IDENTIFY are abandoning their defensive
movement, because they have again
attacked the Austrians with greatest
success, according to official announce
ments from Petrograd The region OF
this offensive Is near Lupkow pass.
Here the Russians claim heavy cap
lures in prisoners and guns. On the
other hand Vienna reports the failure
Of Russian counter attacks and the
taking of many prisoners in the Car
pathians. -
Last nights Paris official dispatches
said the British success at Neuve Chap
pelle was more substantial than had
been reported. that the French were
making themselves secure In new

been effected.
