WARSAW, Ind. March A.-In the

row Gods fund will increase more

they always equal onc-tenth OF the
amount he received for his work. One
tenth of Sundays income goes to the
Lord, and it Is a notable face, here that
the evangelist is moro concerned about
Gods fund than about his own. The
bankers who handle the evangelist s
money say that tho fund never is al

THE WINTER CAMPAIGN
IN THE EAST


The opening move Of Germany in
the east was the first drive 10 Warsaw,
which developed at the precise mo-
ment the lines Of battle were develop
ing in Flanders. Originally obscured
by the Antwerp and Ypres operations,
il suddenly filled the press Of the
world with reports Of the imminent
fall Of the Polish capital. Petrograd
was silent while Berlin was in full tide
Of victorious statement. Yet, looking
backward after many months, IT seems
plain that the first German offensive
in Poland was less considerable than
was at first supposed and direct
effort to assist Austria rather than 10
conquer Poland.
In early October Austrian fortunes
had sunk TO the very lowest level.
Conquering armies were sweeping the
ruins of one Austrian host in upon
Cracow, of another up the slopes OF
the Carpathians. The mission Of
Austria had been to Keep Russia in
play until Germany had disposed of
France, and now, at the critical mo-
ment in the Flanders campaign, Ger
many must either abandon the battle
along the User and about Ypres, or
by some strategic combination use
small reserves to postpone Austrian
destruction.
Germany chose the latter expedient,
and gathering up an army she flung 1t
straight upon Warsaw, through Cen
trial Poland. II was centure such as
Lee made when he sent Early to
Washington in 1864 in the hope of
drawing Grant away from Richmond.
German command was seeking to save
Austria, not her own territories. Like
Early's raid, that of the Germans al
most succeeded. Late in October the
guns of the Kaiser were sending shells
into the suburbs of Warsaw. But as
Grant was able to put corps of vet
Grams into Washington while Early
was still before Fort Stevens, the
Grand Duke Nicholas in his turn push
ed Siberian troops through Warsaw at
the critical moment, struck at the
German flank and turned it. lmmed-
lately the German invasion was turned
back a retreat to the frontier was in
evitabe. Warsaw, like Washington
just half century before, was saved.
But Germany had attained her pur-
pose. As consequence Of the inva-
sion Of Poland Russian advance in
Galacia stopped. Russian armies flow
ed back to the San. Przemysl was re-

THE GYPSY MOTH CAMPAIGN
Good Progress Being Made Against
The GYPSY and Brown Tail Moth


Washington, d. c., May 3-Satis-
factory progress in the campaign
against the gypsy moth and the
brown-tail moth in New England since
the reorganization of the work in
March, 1918, is announced in a report
on this work just issued by the
Bureau of Entomology, Of the U. s.
Department Of Agriculture. Because,
however, of the enormous area already
infested is has been impossible TO COW
err much of the woodland and the in.
sect has gradually spread. On the
other hand, scouting work and hand
treatment of the egg clusters have
materially checked this spread toward
the west, and other methods Of control
have greatly reduced the infestation
in certain areas.
At the present time the campaign is
being conducted along two distinct
lines: First, there is the field work
which consists of scouting and hand
treatment of the insects, and inspec-
ton of products shipped from the in
tested area in order to prevent the
spread of the pest; second, experiment
tai work is being carried on in order
to determine the advantages to be de-
rived from the introduction Of para
sites and other natural enemies Of the
moths, and also in order to ascertain
the best methods of treating woods
and foreets in order to deprive the
pests of their food An average of
about 275 men is employed in these
two branches of the work.
Excellent results are reported from
the imported parasites of the gypsy
moth during the past year. Over
1000 colonies have been located in a
large number Of towns.
Another factor in keeping down the
gypsy and brown-tail is the wilt dis
ease but the study Of this is for GER
tain technical reasons very difficult,
and a large amount of work is still
necessary in order to discover the con-
ditions most favorable for its increase
and development.
A matter on which the report lays
special emphasis is the fact that a
number of trees are not favorable for
the support of the gypsy moth larva.
Wherever possible, therefore, these
should be substituted for trees that are
especially susceptible. This can fire.
quently be done with distinct CONNER
cial Importance. For example, in

/ lieved, Jaroslav reoccupied, an advance
to Lemberg in sight For the moment
Austria was saved; there remained To
Germany time to finish her fight in
Flanders, TO win, if she could, in the
west, before a new crisis in the east
should demand a new diversion of her
forces.
Instead of victory, however, there
came defeat. Germany failed at the
User, and about Ypres the golden mo-
ment for obtaining decision in the
west had passed. Weather, reinforce
ments of the Allies, the growing
strength of their Notifications, the
enormous and sterile German sacri-
fees, all combined to convince the
German high command that if de-
cision were to be had against any en-
envy that enemy was Russia. Such
blows as she had struck France and
Britain insured that they would be
unable to take the offensive effectively
for months to come. There was left
time to IDEAL with Russie," to put the
Slav out" as the genial Bernhadi
would phrase it.
BY the time the battle Of Flanders
had terminated, however, the situation
had again changed in the east. New
Austrian disasters had sent the armies
of Hapsburg rushing back in disorder
upon Cracow and on the Carpathians.
Russian advance guards were in sight
of the suburbs of Cracow, Cossack
parties were beginning to flow down
the Hungarian side of the Dulka Pass
into the Hungarian plain. Austrian
corps were being recalled from Bel
grade, newly occupied by them, and
Austrian disaster at Valievo was in
sight.
On the German frontier the situa-
ton was even more threatening. A
huge Russian army was moving upon
Czenstochowa and Kalisc, patrols had
for the first time touched German soil
in the Province Of Posen west of the
Wartha, another Russian army was
moving southwest upon Cracow, be-
come the gate to Germany, not the
outwork of Austria. Finally, a strong
Russian army was again in East Prus
STA, flowing west toward the Mazurian
Lakes, spreading ruin and terror in
its pathway. Not alone Hapsburg but
Hohenzollern interests now demanded
an offensive in the east.
By December l Germany was COM
mited to her eastern campaign. She
had definitely failed to get a decision
in the west; she was seeking along the
Vistula what she had missed at the
Marine and the User. Eastward from

/ France and Flanders corps after corps
of her veteran troops were coming,
giving way to reserves; the campaign
Of the west had ended
In the military history of the future
it is far from unlikely that Won Hin
denburg's campaign in Poland will be
estimated the finest, from the purely
professional side, in the Great War.
Confused as is the record still, the
world does know that at the Battle
of LODI the Russian army was almost
destroyed; that by using his strategic
railways, by making full use of his
troops, superior in morale, in training,
in equipment, the great German COM
mander almost succeeded in envelop-
ing the Russian Polish army. Two
factors served to block the second
great German bid for a decision, the
weather and the great numerical su-
periority of Russian reserves. By all
the seasonal calculations Polish roads
should have been frozen solid; they
were river of mud. Winter, which
in Napoleons invasion had begun
prematurely, now held off with equal
perversity. From the closing side of
the German net the Russian slipped
safely. At LODI their losses were
enormous; but when the battle was
over, when they had withdrawn, they
stood behind the Bzura as solidly as
the Belgians behind the User.
In the eastern campaign the Battle
of LODI was wholly comparable with
that of the Marine in the west. AT the
Marine the German lost and retreated,
at LODI they won local success and
advanced few more miles, but these
two conflicts were the decisive en-
gagements of the war to May |; in
both Germany failed in the battle
which was to dispose of a nation. By
January / she was at standstill in
Poland as in Northern France, the
great prize had escaped her, only the
incidental advantage had been brought
home. She had set out to destroy an
army first in the west, then in the east,
she had won some kilometres or versts
of territory, captured some hundreds
of thousands of French and Russians
demonstrated the superiority of her
organization in both fields, but the war
was beginning, not ending.
Not only had Germany failed to get
decision in Poland, but as the Rus
sian lines at the Bzura and the Rawa
held, as German attack was halted
here as it had been in Flanders, with
the same terrific losses, there came to
Berlin a new appeal from Vienna. To
crush Russian resistance, or at leaet
