REVIEW OF WAR
FOR PAST YEAR
TEUTONS HAVE CONQUERED AN
AREA GREATER THAN
GERMANY.
Resolution of Their Enemies Seems,
However, to be Strong
AZ Ever.

NEW YORK, Dec 29.-In the year
1915 Teutonic arms have conquered
an area greater than Germany.
The kaiser and his allies have
overrun the rich industrial and farm
ing regions of Poland, Lithuania and
the Baltic provinces; have wrested
Galicia and Bukowina from their
enemies; have crushed Servia; have
stood CT the opposing armies on Gal
ipoli, the Italian border and the great
siege line across France and corn
er in Belgium; have hurled back
Keeling the British Indian invaders
of Mesopotamia.
On the other hand, the solidarity
and resolution of the entente allies
seem as strong as ever; the British
navy retains absolute control of the
seas; and undoubtedly for the nom.
ent victorious Germany is facing a
serious food famine which fills her
newspapers with such peace talk as
is practically unknown among her
opponents.
The first important military op-
GRAFTON of the year was the second
German victory of the Mazurian
lakes. When the year opened, the
Muscovites stood far within the East
Prussian border, while holding all
but the west salient of Poland and
pressing through the passes of the
Carpathians after overrunning Cali
cha and most of Bukowina.
In mid-February, breasting their
way through deep SHOWS, the marye-
lousy mobile troops of the Grand
Old Man Of the Lakes Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg, encirced the
Russian army of East Prussia, much
as they had done near the same spot
several months before. Again the
Russians, realizing fully what was
going on, were unable to show the
celebrity in movement necessary to
check the German concentration.
Only shattered remnants reached Po-
land; on Feb. % the Germans an
nounced more than 100000 of their
enemies had been captured while the
slain are untold.
The Germans pursued across the
frontier, took Przasnysz Feb. rs, but
were checked by the border fortress
ses, and on March l, the Russians re-
captured Przasnyz after a consider.
able victory nearby.
The Russians did a little further
to even up the score on March ~
when PrZemsyl fell after a heroic de.
Tense and $4,000 prisoners were
marched off by the car. The next
day, however, the Germans announc
ed the recapture of the seaport Mem.
ell, in the extreme northeastern corn
er of their country, which had been
seized in a sudden raid. To prevent
a similar raid the Germans proceed
ed tC send strong bodies Of cavalry
into the adjacent Russian Baltic pro
vinces where they found little oppo
sition.

ENGLAND MANY TIMES
AS BIG AS GERMANY,

In the January Woman's Home
Companion Laura Spencer Porter has
a remarkably interesting article on
the traditions of England in which
she says:
"This is the most dominant and
conquering nation of the world today
governing an empire which possesses
something over one-fifth of the known
surface of the globe, and more than
one-fifth of all of its inhabitants, a
people whose 'far-fung battle line
protects, we are told, a country fifty
three times the size of France, fifty
two times the size of Germany, three
and one-half our own size, and three
times the size of Europe entire; with
three times the vast population Of all
the Russias, embracing four CONT
nents and 10000 islands,-this is the
most dominant nation, this little
home island, possessed now of this
Overwhelmingly vast empire, was,
with it's people in their childhood,
more conquered seemingly, than any
other people; conquered by the Ro-
mans, the Britons, the Saxons, the
Danes, the Angles, the Jutes, and, T.
nally, the Normans. Conquest after
conquest. A strange and one might
even think a humiliating childhood.
Yet the very contrary, when one looks
closer, is true"

IMMENSE NUMBER Of
MULES COMING TO
CITY NEXT MONDAY
EXPECTED THAT THERE WILL
BE MORE THAN HAVE BEEN
HERE IN YEARS,
PRICES WILL Be GOOD TOO
TOO MANY MATTERS IF IMPORTANCE
Many Buyers From All Parts of the
South viii Doubtless Be in colum.
bIa-Plenty of Mules in the County

Unless all signs fail Monday next
VIII be the biggest mule day that Co.
lumbia has had in two or more years.
1t is expected to equal the first Mon.
day in 1913 when it was estimated
that not less than 1900 mules were
on the streets and the square. On
that day thirty odd buyers stood all
day in the rain and slush and bid on
mules.
One OF the biggest dealers in mules
In the country stated this morning
that he expected more mules in the
city Monday than he had seen in
years. Cotton is a good price, mules
have advanced during the past six
months almost to the figures that
they once sold for before the war and
there are plenty of them in the coun.
ty. Farmers and feeders are ready
now to turn them loose and they want
to get rid of them so that all will be
here Monday.
A big lot of buyers from different
places in the state and the South will
doubtless be in the city. The buyers
are hoping for a fair day although ex.
perience Of the past has shown that
1t mattered not what the yeather was
the mules came If the prospects for
sales were good

Miss Ruth Kisc Appears in Recital ut
Conservatory.

A goodly audience peopled the Re
citaI hall of the South Bend conserva-
tory last evening TO listen to the Ger
tiicate recital given by Miss Ruth
Kise, pupil of Max Wald. Miss Kisses
playing was marked by an assurance
and poise which could not but be well
appreciated. The program which she
presented was interesting and well
varied. OF especial interest was
Chopin's PolOnaise in 6 sharp minor,
which was played with a brilliance
and wealth of tone that were entirely
pleasing. The different parts of MA
rionettes" by Mac Dowel were played
well-with a good feeling for the vari-
atoms of humor and sentiment. The
difficult "F'ledermaus' waltz by
Strauss-Schuett was given with much
verve and effectiveness: displaying a
command Of Interpretation and tech
mic almost unexpected i'm so young a
musician. Miss Kise Gin her playing
shows decidedly marks of very syste-
matte and thorough training.
Miss kise was assisted by Miss Mar

attraCtiVeneSS of the evening.
