LONDON, Feb. 3.-With compara-
tiN, quiet prevailing on the western
front, the fighting in the east, which
Is more strenuous and widespread,
monopolizes attention
While the Russians are on the Of
fensive in East Prussia, in northwes-
tern Poland and the passes of the Car
pathians, the Germans continue their
attacks on the T.Issian line along the
Bzura and Rawka rivers. The invad-
ers reached the Rawka line about the
middle of December and since that
time have made at least half dozen
attacks in force against the Russian
trenches, each time at undoubted
heavy cost.
Nothing haunted, however, they
have been repeating the attacks dur
ing the past week and while they have
made slight advance 1t has been ac-
ccmplished only after further great
: losses, according to Petrograd reports.
\ Now It is believed the Germans d are
preparing for still anotler onslaught.

force. their way through Warsaw. the
Rawka and BZura lines, which they
hayb been attacking for six weeks, are
exceedingly strong, for on the right
banks Of the rivers, which the T,ls-
SLAMS for the most part hold, the
ground IS considerably higher than
on the left banks. so the Russian In

Should the Germans break through
this barrier there is another line Of
entrenchments half way between the
Bzura and Warsaw, with Blonie as
the center, which would have to be
forced before the Polish capital fell.
In, the Carpathians the Austrians
and Germans are offering vigorous re-
sistance to the Russians and decis-
ion has not yet been reached in the
battle which has been in progress
there for some days.
The statement In the Russian Off

interior of Dukla Pass. and southeast
of Beskid Pass, indicates the extent
OF the struggle.

There has been another skirmish

HALF GRAPE CROP
HERE THIS YEAR
Nauvoo Growers are Pessimistic About
Prospects Due to Damage
Done by Dry Seasons.

That the grape crop in the vicinity
Of Keokuk at Nauvoo will be cut to
one half is the prediction of the Maui
VOC growers. The dry seasons for
the past two years are said to be the
cause. The following from the Inde-
pendent gives the outlook for the
crop:
We are reliably informed that Maui
VOC cannot possibly get more than
two-thirds Of grape crop this sea-
son. The past two seasons Of drouth
killed many of the stocks, and so in.
jured many others that the growth
Of the vines and buds this spring was
perceptibly stunted. But for the heavy
rains recently it is likely many
more stocks, if not most OF them,
would have died out. These rains
were savior" for our vineyards
Late frost also injured many of the
grapes. 1t is said that Ives will be
scarce, and other early varieties will
be very short. From over half to q
two-thirds crop Is all that can be ex
pected this year under the most fav.
orable circumstances.

Evening Post.]
NEW YORK, June 10.-Whatever
hesitation in judgment as to the Bry-
an incident may have characterized
yesterdays market, it disappeared
with the opening today Starting with
an overnight advance of 1a to l point
in many stocks prices continued to
advance and by afternoon were up
one to two percent in the standard
issues with larger gains IN some OF
the industrials. This advance was
well sustained, on a fair volume OF
activity all day.
The primary reasons for the gen.
eral recovery were, first, the conclu.
sion reached by nearly every one
after twenty-four hours Of reflection
and conversation, that the removal
of Bryan from the theatre of practical
events was a good thing for all con
cerned. and. second, the knowledge
of outside buying orders. ready fol
execution at any further decline in
prices. This latter consideration hat
! the most influence on professional
| Wall street. There was also declared
| to be in circulation version of Mr.
! Wilson's note to Germany which read
| ers affirmed to be of a satisfactor,
! chara cter: but that might safel,
enough have been taken for granted
Another decline in wheat brought ths
cash price to the lowest figure OF the
present crop.

1.-THE TREASURE or
HIDDEN VALLEY"
IL Willis George Emerson's New
Novel to Prove the Big
Seller Of 1918?

It is something Of moment to every
Iowan, especially our plethora OF book
! lovers, If Willis Geo. Emerson's new
novel, 1.-THE Trea sure of Hidden VAL
| ley" shall prove to be the big seller
of the year 1916. 1t may be of inter-
est to know that his publishers, Forbes
& Co., 443 South Dearborn street, Chi
cago, who are bringing out this new
work of fiction, charming story OF
hill life among the mountains Of
| Wyoming, sent out an announcement
to the trade all over the country that
the book would be issued April list.
While their letters we're short and
simply announced that they were
bringing out new novel by the
author of "Buell Hampton" yet. to
their surprise (for they had ordered
first edition of 10000 copies) before
April LIST came on they had over To-
900 advance orders for the book. They
Immediately increased their printing
order and announced t. the trade,
again, that the edition had been in
creased to $4,000 copies, and would
not be available until May LIST. Along
the last days OF April it was found
that the advance orders had run up
to the enormous figures of $4,000,
which necessitated another halt and
the purchase of additional tons OF
paper, and the final announcement
went out to the booksellers all over
the country that the book would sure
issue in the first days of June
letter recently received by the author
from the publishers announces that 1t
is self-evident that a second edition
will be Forthcoming in the very near
future.
This should be OF especial interest
to Iowa people. as Willis Geo. Emer-
son, the author, Is an old Iowa boy.
He was born in Monroe county. and
spent his early days where his father
and mother resided, near Creston,
Union county, Iowa.
We hope that this new novel will
prove that "our Willis" is the Charles
Dickens of America.

THE RECKONING.

!
What will the reckoning be
When the fortress falls,
And the last dreadnaught of the sea
Looms silent by shot-seared walls?
When The last long line of men have
faced the guns and died,
When the last beautiful death
winged bird is tied,
When the lust for blood and the
nav of greed lies satisfied,
What will the reckoning be?
O dreamer, you with lowered head;
O mother. there beside your cher
ished dead;
o trooper, long by bloody butchers
What will the reckoning be?
What will the reckoning be?
Baubles to one
To other, statues there beside the
sea
To butchery we'll done,
And empty stools beside lonesome
cottage hearth,
And misery and want and woe where
once was mirth.
The awful aftermath Of war upon
the earth.
