Norwich bulletin., 1915-03-10

International league ball is hardly what the Springfield club wants. As Owner Carey repeatedly states, he wants the merger with the New Eng land league. Class A ball would mean heavier expense all around. The proposition to Springfield cannot look inviting. Advancing to a, more eX- pensiVe league would not by good business If advancing was a simple matter. Even the clubs now in the International are up against it so hard they do not see where they are all going to get $10000 each to chip for the war fund

ARCHDUkE' ARMY
IN FULL RETREAT
Russian Northern Army Has
Begun a Series of Deter
mined Attacks Between
MIaWa and ViStuIa

PETROGRAD, March 6.-The Rus
sian northern army has begun a series
of determined attacks, especially
across the western sector between
Mlawa and the Vistula Several hun
dred prisoners and a quantity of liSht
artillery were captured at kOnopkO,
where an attempt was made TO hold
the Myawa railway for the Germans.
The Russian middle army operating
from PrzasnysZ has now in its pos
session a great quantity of undamaSed
guns and an immense supply of am
munition captured from the Germans,
including y field pieces, % machine
guns and nany rifles. Also there
have been captlred several aerOplares
and hundl eds of supply wagons.
The Germans are now surrendering
in large numbers. The prisoners say
that German infantry companies
which three weeks ago numbered $40
men are now able TO muster only
about so. About One-quarter of the
men still in the ranks and carried as
effectives" are suffering euteric sick
ness.
Archduke IOseph's army is now IN
fun flight in the woody country near
the Dneister and the Pruth rivers. 1t

TIRE PERFORMANCE RECORDS
TOID IN BOOK.

Letting tire retailers tell motorists
what q certain make of tire does in the
way of giving satisfaction and mile
age is a new plan Of trade promotion
instituted by Diamond tires Akrcn,
Ohio
The Diamond factory has compiled
unique book of letters in which Di-
almond retailers tell what Diamond
tires did in 1914 in the way Of big
sales and few adjustments.
The book at the same time is an eX-
preston from the retailers of their
reasons for carrying the same line in
1915 as that they made such success
Of in the previous year
The expressions from the retailers
run ali the way from records Of 5000
and more miles from Diamonds they
used personally, to records of their
sales and adjustments.
One man says he sold 1000 castings
and had only half a dozen adjust
ments. And these tires were not
brought In on account OF being defec-
tive, but were bruised 10y sharp
stones" he writes.
Another man made the unique
record of selling 1000 Diamond tires
with only two adjustments. A third
man went through the entire year with
only one tire out Of all he sold COM
ing back for adjustment.
Speaking Of Diamond tire perform
ances, a dealer wrote, I'VE feel rea-
sonably sure that every one Will not
only be an advertisement TO ourselves,
but a great boost for the Diamond
tire.
A dealer in the east reported his ad-
justments SO small he hadn't given IL
any thought whatever" Another who
handles ali lines said he had least
trouble with Diamond tires
The book is full OF similar reports,
which are considered Of specia' inter
est to motorists. II Is believed that
the service rendered by tire can well
be judged by the unbiased reports Of
the men who sell them. and the show
ing OF Diamonds on no repiacemcuts
is considered remarkable

1.-The federation has long welded
an important Influence in legislative
matters in our state and has in many
cases been indirectly responsible for
the enactment Of certain laws. The
club women's interest in remedial
legislation has demonstrated the ne
cessity for cooperation among asso-
Citations Of women with reference to
legislative work in order that efforts
would not be duplicated or lost. With
this fact in mind the legislative
council was organized representing

the council being the Indiana feder-
alton of clubs"

PETROGRAD, March with the
cessation of blizzards in the Car
pathians the Russian armies have re-
sumed their advance along the entire
southern and southwestern front. In
Bukowina their right flank has cross
ed the Pruth river and has opened an
attack upon Czernowitz.
In southeastern Galicia the Rus
slams, after capturing Stanislaw
Kolome, have pressed the Austro-
German forces back TO Nadworna and
are advancing against that town. In
this region the Teutonic allies have
lost in a single week all the ground
they gained in a campaign lasting
month and a half.
Near WyszkOw and at the Lupkow
and DUkla passes the cars troops are
driving home attacks upon the en-
trenched Austrians, while along the
Dunajec river a general battle has
opened southwest Of TarnOw. The
Austrians there hold a front of great
strength TO protect CracOw, but the
Russians have won some important
positions at Zaklczyn.
From ZakhcZyn 10 CzernowitZ ii is
about $50 miles in a straight line. but
because of the irregular front the
battle line through Galicia into
Bukowina is about 375 miles.
Successes Most Important.
The Russians successes about Stanis-
law are the most important that have
been gained in the southern arena in
several months. Three AustrO-Ger-
man divisions totalling 5000 men,
We're trapped between the Zlota and

vast quantity of supplies which the
Austrians and Germans had taken
there with the purpose Of using Stan
islaw as a base for the campaign
against Lemberg.
In operations along other portions
Of the Galician front the Russians
have taken more than $4,000 addi-
tional prisoners. According 10 the
Official Army Messenger at least so.
600 Austrian and German soldiers
have been taken in the southern
arena.
Kiev dispatches state that train
after train of prisoners is arriving
there. These come from the Galician-
