Emperor William is Greatly De-
pressed over the Terrible
Price Germany Pays
AND MAKES a PROTEST
Carpathians Warfare is Found
by Both Sides to be Very
Costly Thus Far

LONDON, Feb. M.-The situation in
the eastern arena Of the fighting is
occupying the attention OF the military
authorities in Berlin in very large
degree II reliance may be placed on
news dispatches reaching London
from the continent. According to
these Emperor William returned hur-
riedly to Berlin from the Polish war
theater and at once held prolonged
military. conference, summoning for
this purpose many we'll known lead
ers.f
. According to the correspondents Of
certain neutral Danish newspapers,
Emperor William finds the situation
generally hopeful but he is described
as greatly depressed over the terrible
price in men Germany has had
to pay for comparatively limited adj
yances against the entrenched Rus
stans.
One account from Warsaw places
the German losses on the Bzura and
the Rawka fronts at $4,000 dead. This
report Is absolutely without confir-
nation. Nevertheless Danish military
critics say Emperor William has pro-
tested against this slaughter and as
result an effort will be made by the
German war staff to transfer the fight
ing to some point where the Russians
are less formidably entrenched.
The Russians reports from the fight
ing from the extreme north to the ex-
IRENE southeast OF the line through Po-
land continue optimistic. The loss OF
some ground to the Teutonic allies
in Bukowina appears to have been
more than Offset by what the Petro-
grad dispatches describe as the STRAIT
egic importance of Russian gains in
the Carpathians.
In the Carpathians IT Is evident
that both sides find the fighting
among snow-coyered passes with only
The most precarious connections with
their sources of supplies warfare
In which the results gained are very
dearly purchased.
In East Prussia the situation is
becoming clearer. The Germans
have rushed re-enforcements thither
and these men they expect to be able
TO stall the Russian advance. The
Russians, however, already would
appear to be in position threaten
ing 1nsterburg, from which German
town the population is reported to
have been advised to depart until
the present military operations are
concluded.
In the west the fighting for the
last few days has been OF relatively
small Importance aryl the promised
big efforts of one side or the other
Il still delayed. pending the advent
of more favorable weather.
The situation in the Balkans az
pears to be rapidly crystallizing. Bull
garia will receive large consign-
nent Of her German loan within the
next few days. Roumania is finding
that ustria-Hungary is clamoring
for a definite statement OF her atti-
tude. Nevertheless she shows no dis
position prematurely to reveal her in-
tentions and the entente powers,
Great Britain, France and Russia,
seem to be quite satisfied that Rou-
manian's ultimate action will be on
their side.

AS a result OF the work Of the
bureau OF efficiency on the Northern
Pacific Railway, accidents to employees
were decreased q per cent during the
first seven months OF 1915 as COM
pared with the same period of last
year. The record ~ considered a
remarkable one, inasmuch as the
number OF accidents TO employees dur :
Ing 1914 was considerably below that
OF 1918.
Education is the keynote OF the
work of the bureau, which since May
l of this year has been under the
direction of Fred M. Metcalf, special
representative of The FIRST vice presi-
dent. BY means of written instruc-
tions as To safe and efficient methods,

The state auditors Office completed
Saturday the work of computing the
apportionment for the various coun-
ties of the state. The state roll was
practically completed, and it shows
the valuation of each class of pro-
perty IN every county of the state.
The total amount to be raised for
all state purposes was shown by the

was obtained by adding the general
levy, predatory animal tax, general
interest and sinking fund levy, and
capitol building fund levy.
The total eQualized valuation of
the state for 1915 was given at $780,
627, ,625. That does not include the
personal property roll, which will not
he available until sometime In No
vember.
The total valuation for 1914, with
the personal property included, was
$4I6, ,538, 946. %. and it was on that
basis that the tax levies for state
purposes were apportioned. Though
no figures are as yet available on The
personal property valuation for 1918

amount added to the real property
roll, the valuation for 1915 will bI
