GERMAN LOSSES ENORMOUS

Twenty-Five Times In Battle De-

Being Without Precedent-Teutons
Struggle to Puncture Enemy's Line
at New Points.
London, Feb. 11.-From Petrograd,
Berlin and Geneva come reports Off
cial and Otherwise telling of the SUI
preme efforts being made by Germany
In the eastern theater of war to stem
the Russian tide, which divided is
flowing toward Koenigsburg in East
Prussia at one end and over the Car
pathians into Hungary at the other
end.
1t is agreed that the fighting at the
southern erd of the great battle line
is the fiercest not only in the history
of this war but without precedent in
any other.
In single day the German troops
charged twenty-five times on a Rus
sian position. They made their
charges up a hill in the face of artil-
lery fire. Twice they gained posses
sion of the heights, but were finally
driven out with bayonets. The Ger
man losses are described as "exces-
sively heavy"
The scene of the fighting was Bali
grod, thirty miles south of Sanok, in
Galicia. 1t is claimed by the Russian
staff that the Hungarian forces in the
Carpathians have been augmented by
100000 Germans and that German Of
fcers are 4:Ue definitely directing the
Carpathian movement.
The German plan now seems to be
to abandon gradually their aggressive
on the Bzura and in the Vistula re-
gion and to transfer their troops to
points where there Is greater oppor-
tunity of piercing the Russian defen-
sive. The fighting in the Carpathians
would appear to be part of this
procedure.
Concentrating their forces the night
of Feb. z, the Germans early the fol-
lowing morning began what doubtless
rapidly developed into one of the
fercest attacks in the history of the
Carpathian campaign. With their first
line almost annihilated, the Germans
pushed forward their second line, un-
der the support of heavy artillery and
were successful in gaining a strategic
elevation. But from this position they
were almost Immediately driven back
by Russian bayonet charge. Attack
and counter attack followed in rapid
succession and toward evening the
Germans in great numbers seemed to
be in permanent possession of the
heights.
Then a general counter attack by
the Russians resulted In two hours of
hand-to-hand fighting which left the
snow-clad hillsides strewn with dead.
After most stubborn resistance the
German regiments finally were def
nitely driven out. A Russian officer
claims personally to have counted up
ward of 1000 German dead before the
Russian positions on this hill. He
described this engagement as typical
of the battles which are occurring
daily in the Carpathian mountains.

Should Have Band Concerts.

The Cresco High School Band has de-
veloped much real musical talent that
merits and should receive encourage
ment in the way of financial support by
the people of Cresco. Every town
should have its band and the boys have
demonstrated in concerts and on the
streets of Cresco that no citizen of
Cresco need feel ashamed of them or of
the quality of music they produce.
They have in Prof. Thaler, of Calmar,
an instructor who is gentleman in
every sense of the word, one to whom
any parent can safely intrust the care
of their boy, and real musician who
for several years has had peculiar sue
cess in instructing young people.
We believe the boys should keep up
their practice and organization during
the summer vacation, aud if they will
circulate a subscription list for funds
among the business men to pay the ex-
pense of weekly concerts, it is almost
certain that they will receive hearty
response.

An Object Lesson in Road Drassins

The road from Cresco to Lime
Springs is mighty good illustration OF
the effects of road drag properly ap
piled. The Vernon Springs trustees
have caused their roads to be dragged
and as result the road from Cresco to
a point west of Bonair on the Howard
Center line is as fine as one could wish.
From there, through Howard Center
and Forest City, ruts, mud-holes and
rough roads abound. On Sunday, with
good roads in Vernon Springs, autos
were being pulled out Of mudholss in
Forest City. J.;--
A little less grading and ripping up
of good roads and little more drag.
ging and drainage and filling up Of
mudholes would be appreciated by the
auto drivers who are contributing
thousands of dollars direct this year in
auto tax money, in addition to their
regular road taxes, for the repair and
maintenance of the roads of the county.

big reception on the occasion of their
opening date in Cresco on Monday.
Their train arrived from Baraboo, Wis
consin, late Sunday afternoon and from
that time till the tents were pitched
on the show lot. large proportion of
our towns people watched the process
of unloading and erecting the tents.

was as usual, the cleanest of the clean.
The opening of the show for the
afternoon performance found the big
tent completely filled and all were
delighted with the performance which
proceeded with astonishing smoothness
in spite of the fact that the perform
ance had not yet time to get smoothed
out by route performances.

A Little Plain Talk

We regret very much that certain re.
publican members of the legal frater-
nifty of Cresco have so Disseminated
against the Plain Dealer that it is nec-
essary that we ask our friends and pat
rons who may have notices requiring
legal publication to instruct their at
torney to have the notices published in
the Plain Dealer, or better yet, bring
them to US direct. The Plain Dealer
has knowledge that efforts are made to
influence our patrons to place their
business elsewhere and desbt tless sQgpe
81 our patrons sare st HmeG
upon in such matters by their attorney.
We thank God that we do not depend
for our living upon any lickspittle
subservince or fawning flattery to
any man or any organization, either
social or business, but stand four
square to the world, and friend and foe
alike know where to find US. Hence the
effort by some to injure our business.
That this effort is futile is best attest
ed by the crowded state of our adver-
Using columns, and the large amount
of work turned out in our job depart
ment. This is no "squeal" on our
part. We wish simply to acquaint our
friends with the facts and ask them, if
it is their wish to have their legal no
tices published in the Plain Dealer. to
bring their notices direct to this office.

The Mems Service.

Mr.. Jones spoke to men only at $50
yesterday afternoon. His text was
from the Book of Jude, Pulling them
out of the fire." He brought home
the fact, in remarkable series of il
lustrations, that pulling men out Of
the fire bore striking resemblance
to pulling men away from sin because
sin is like fire in SO many different
ways.
Sin is like fire in it's mysteriousness
Sitting before a glowing open fire
there are numberlcss mysterious and
unansweredable thoughts that spring
up in the human mind, and SO it is
with sin. Sin is the thing that causes
all Of the heartaches in this world.
If sin had never touched this world it
would have been a paradise. But sin
is here with it's tenacious grip; the
Bible says so.
Sin resembles fire in the way it eX-
lists. Like fire it is latent and active.
You may look at block of ice, and
far from your thoughts is the fact
fact that fire is in it's composition. The
same way. it is hard to believe, but
true nevertheless, that sin exists in
! the heart of an inn cent little one.
"One single stroke of the devils hands
and the sparks of hell will fly"
Don't give sin chance, or sin will
! ruin you forever"
In it's wonderful power of attraction
sin is like fire, too. AS moths fly to
the candles flame SO men are drawn
to the haunts of the devil AS an cX-
