war SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
CIATED PRESS.

New York, Nov 15.-Special:
Winston Spencer Churchill has given
up his portfolio of chancellor of the
duchy of Lancaster in the British
cabinet and will join his regiment at
the front.
The Serbians in the north are still
in retreat before the Austro- Hungar-
ians and Germans, having fallen back
according to their latest communica-
ton, to defensive positions to the
south and east of Kralivieo and to
the east of Ivagnitza, which would
indicate that the fears expressed in
an Italian newspaper dispatch that
they might be cut off are unfounded
Nothing has come through to show
the existing situation in the south,
where Anglo-French forces are oper-
ating the Serbs against the Bulgars,
or from the Montenegrin theater,
where the Austro- -HungarianS and
Montenegrins have been at grips for
some time with varying successes.
Further advances for the Russians
against the Germans in northwest
Russia are recorded by Petrograd.
Kemmern and Anting. to the west of
Riga, have been captured by the Mus
covites, and in the same district an
advance has been made by them to
the west of the town of Baggatz.
Heavy losses are suffered by the Ger
mans in the fighting around Kem-
mern, as likewise was the case in the
district of Ixskull, where the German
attacks were repulsed.
Little fighting has been going on
along the western front in France
and Belgium, or in the Austro-Italian
zone, except by the artillery of the
contending sides.
Or. Won -Hollweg, the
German chancellor, has told the So
cialists that the people of Germany
could be assured that the hopes of
the entente powers of starving Ger
many would be disappointed.
According TO the semiofficial
Overseas News agency of Berlin. the
Greek premier has informed the Bull
garian minister at Athens that it is
the premier's sincere desire that the
friendly relations between Greece and
Bulgaria be maintained. Greece, the
premier added, was not preparing to
attack Bulgaria.

The movement Is Of national scope

Recruits are now being called out
for the Snow. army. The first heavy
snow OF the year always hits New York
hard and completely ties up traffic.
Commissioner Fetherston has decided
to be prepared and is enlisting men
for the first battle.
The fact that II has been quite hard
to secure laborers for the Job indicates
that there are very few men out of
steady employment In New York. Last
year the city was weeks and weeks
clearing the streets and unless enough
men can be secured the same condi-
tion will exist this year.

of the Omaha Manufacturers association.
while know that the government has
found 1t necessary to send out special
calls to the various cities where the
manufacturers have been negligent in
furnishing the Information for this CEN

Omaha: Is pretty well UP in the matter.
We sent out a greet many letters to the

Quick Turnover
Quick Profits

The one thing about Ad-
vertising that "stumps" the
average reader is the fact
that the merchant who
spends most in advertising
every year is the one who
can sell goods at the lowest
margin of profit. If a mer-
chant spends ten thousand
dollars a year in advertising
how can he undersell the
merchant who doesn't spend
anything for advertisingf
Doesn't the ten thousand
dollars come out of the GUS
tomersf OF course it does.
The people who buy the
goods pay the advertising
bill the merchant doesn't
pay it. And yet he can sell
goods cheaper than his com-
petitor who does no advertis-
ing. How does he do it,
The answer involves an
understanding of the simpl-
