enough men in the Carpathians when
they sent the achievements which as

The Russians apparently made an
orderly retreat through Bukowina, al
though severely harasscd in the snow
covered mountain passes.
Vienna report received through
Rome says achievements have reached
the Russians, and that a big battle is
expected between Nadworna and Ko-
lomca.
In addition to the two German air
ships wrecked off the Danish coast on
Wednesday and Thursday, it was re-

Some Danish vessels were unable 10

ever. and most Of the Dutch lines also
resumed their schedules under the gov

Fighting in the west has consisted
largely OF efforts by the Germans TO
recover trenches lost during the allies

or lost yet, nor will they be until the
last subscription is turned in and the
last vote counted. Those who are
farthest down In the list today may
make one herculean effort and be the
top-notchers after December a.
Every candidate must realizs that
the time is very short and grows more
valuable with the passing of each day.
Every one realizes also that the re-
ward to be gained for the past effort
depends upon the speed attained dur
ing the final running. Thousands OF
votes are yet to be had. and 1t is rea-
sonable to believe that those candi-
dates who make the strongest finish
will win out over the less energetic
contenders. A $1,000 house and lot
is at stake. and one should not under
estimate the value OF a prize of It's
magnitude. The opportunity 70 win
such splendid prize may never come
again, and the candidate who makes
the most OF this opportunity to secure
extra votes will have no cause for re-
greet A new two-year subscription to
the daily and Sunday Virginian en-
titles the candidate to $1,000 votes
scription gives the candidate 22.s00
votes and costs IS. Now is the time
to gather in the promised su bscrip-
tons and get subscriptions that up to
this time have not been promised.
The fact that the race will be hard
fought one should be an inspiration to
greater efforts. and the winning can
didate will not be one who becomes
discouraged II his name is not among
the flrst ones in the list. A winner
in contest OF any kind must finish
with confidence in his own efforts and
with a determination not to allow
himself to become discouraged. The
| offer in force during the remainder of
the campaign for new subscriptions is
tremendous help in deciding you the
winner of your prize. Get as many
bargain vote" subscriptions as you
can, and WIN.

LOOK FOR PERPETRATOR
T Of TERRIBLE CRIME

New York, Dec. 1S.---The police OF
New York today were asked by the
Philadelphia authorities to locate Ed
ward +. Keller, formerly in the
leather business in the latter city. The
police believe that he can throw some
light on one of the most mysterious
murder cases that the Philadelphia
police have had to deal with in a num-
Der of years.
of the partly decomposed body of a
man in trunk dug up from beneath
the cellar of building at Adams
Street and Frankford Avenue, in the
suburb of F'rankford. The trunk was
within a packing case. Apparently
quick lime or some other corrosive
had been put into the trunk. The
face was no longer recognizable.
There are, however, number of
possible clues to the identity of the
man who the police believe was un
doubtedly murdered. There are also
several possible clues to the murderer.
The shoes. stocking and garters of the
dead man were intact, and a note
book containing a number of memo
randa and addresses escaped the action
Of the corrosive.
The building where the body was
found was formerly occupied by
Keller & Edward ]. Connery who
were partners In an unsuccessful
laundry venture. Connery, It Is be-
lieved is now employed in the Dupont
powder plant at Carney. n. j., and the
police today tried to locate him there.
Detectives learned that Keller. In
September. 1914, lived at 2071 East
Stella Street. Kensington. but that he
left there that month to come to New
York.

one still has the same fair and equal
chance of winning the $1,000 house
and lot, the 1000 in gold or any of
the other prizes that they had when
they first entered the race and doubt
less the race will be a very close one
especially for the capital prizes. IT is
possible just few subscriptions will
separate the winners of the automo-
hiles and the winners of the $4,000
house and lot or the $1,000 purse
The Importance Of supreme effort
being put forth during the remaining
hours of the race cannot be impressed
too strongly upon those candidates
who would be most successful. There
are twenty candidates in the voting
list today whose standings range from
l75,ooo to within $4,000 votes. a
margin Of just 1000 votes The fact
that the race Is close makes ii all
Inc more interesting. and the candi-
dates are not the only ones who are
| awaiting the announcement with
abated breath, for their friends and
acquaintance, who have supported
80 Loyalty, are also Just as anxious.
Every one naturally wishes to see his
favorite win the best prize, and the
interest grows more intense as the big
campaigns nears the end. In just few
more days the big race will have
/ ended and the victors will be crown
| ed. The big prizes which have been

remain to be done but to share In
their good fortune and to congratu-
| late them upon their splendid sue
! cess.
Last Chance.

/ portunity to secure thousands of extra
! votes with which to swell their totals
and make their chances of winning

AUTO GOES INTO DITCH.

An automobile belonging to Thomas
McMinn of Woodstock avenue, Rutland,
went into ditch in Salisbury, about six
miles north of Brandon, Thursday even
ing of last week and Harry Hyde of
Sudbury, one of five passengers, suf-
fered a fracture of the left leg below
the knee. He was brought to Rutland
in the MINI machine and taken to the
Rutland hospital. He has cuts on his
forehead in addition to the fracture The
road was very wet because of the rains
and when the car ran into some soft
earth in the road the wheels slowed and
one of the rear ones struck tree, de-
molshing the wheel. Although Il auto
mobile left the highway, it did not turn
over. Mr. Hyde was thrown out. No
one else was seriously hurt.
