RUSSIANS TAKE DEFENSIVE
Germans Claim Progress in BukoWina
While Austrians Sweep as Far
East as czernowitz.

London, Feb. 16.-The sustained
.Austro-G German pressure on the eastern
front with the admission by Petrograd
that the Russians plan to assume the
defensive on their own territory, il a
feature of the military situation.
The Germans claim to have made
progress in Bukowina, and unofficial
advices from Budapest even say that
the Austrians have swept as far east
as CzernoWitz, although the latest Of
fetal communication from Vienna; does
not so state.
{ However, it is claimed that Nadwor.
ma, in southeastern Galicia, has been
occupied by them.
There is no noteworthy change in
the western theater. The Germans
took about 1000 yards Of trenches
south OF Ypres, but the allies partially
balanced this by capturing about 800
yards between Bethune and La Bassee.
The British public is centering its
interests now in the outcome of the
German so-called blockade of British
waters, due to begin on Thursday.

CANADIAN. ROAD MAY CONTROL
Newman Erb Reported Negotiating
Deal Whereby m. & ST. T.. Will
be Part Of Northern Line.

New York, Feb. 16.-Newman Erh
Is planning to leave for hurried trip
to Chicago and Minneapolis. 1t is be-.
lieved that it. has to do with deal
that is on with a Canadian road, but
this could not be learned definitely.
In connection with the rumored ne.
gotiations it is recalled that some
years ago Mr.. Erb sold control of the
Wisconsin Central to the 500 Line
control Of which is owned in turn by
the Canadian Pacific. The identify Of
the Canadian road in the Minneapolis
& st. Louis deal has not. been learned
but 1t is reported that on his trip to
Canada last week Mr.. Erb went to
Montreal, the headquarters Of the
Canadian Pacific.
f A few years ago it was planned to
effect a physical connection with the
Canadian Northern at the border. II
is doubted here that the latter com.
pany is strong enough financially to
acquire control Of the Minneapolis q
st. Louis now. On the other hand.
some surprise is expressed over the
report that the Canadian Pacific is the
road with which Mr.. Erb is negotiat
ing.

slaves for pleasure; he worked them
for all they were worth and if they

they must have a good reason for it.

summons to return to Berlin. The
formal denial Of the report was the
only comment the embassy would
make.
In semi-official German circles, how.

ridiculous on it's face. The question
was asked:
'How would it be possible for Count

PREACHER INvENTS A
HEALTH SLOGAN

Tuberculosis Sunday, Nov. %,
1914, saw the birth of new and
striking public health phrase, says
DR.. H. w. Hill of the Minnesota Pub
lie Health Association. 1T was coined
not by public health expert but by
Presbyterian minister, Rev. DIR. Pa
den Of Mankato. in his tuberculosis
Sunday prayer. This phrase Intel
ligent Cleanliness will becomes pub
lie health slogan for the future: Be-
cause it sets forth sharply and en-
'phatically the distinction between
mere aesthetic cleanliness and that
which avoids disease. Scrubbing
floors and cleaning windows makes
life more comfortable, pleasanter,
and more efficient, but it is as useless.
a weapon against water-borne ty-
phoid as scrubbing ships deck
would be in stopping leak. When
disease breaks out in a community,
the first thing to do is to take intelli-
gent measures for combating that
particular outbreak, not some other
outbreak, nor an outbreak in some
other place. Intelligently to attack
and destroy germs of disease where
they exist is intelligent cleanliness.
The boiling of water is effective onlv
if water be the route by which then
germs are travelling from one person
to another. If milk should happen
to be the material which carries the
disease, boiling the water is very un- "a
intelligent attempt at useful cleanli-
ness

inns announcement was made in

who with Winston Spencer Churchill,
first lord of the admiralty, gave the
British public perhaps a closer view
OF the machinery behind the great
struggle than any that has been at
torded since the outbreak of the war,
England Decides to Act.
MI. Churchill declared amid cheer.
ing that Great Britain finally had de.
clded to clamp on every ounce of sea
pressure to choke off Germany's food
supply in retaliation for the German
submarine policy, while Mr.. Lloyd.
George drew additional cheering by
reference to losns to countries which
ne said he expected to throw in their
lot with the allies.
THESE countries the chancellor did
not name. 1t was the fisst time that
reference was made in parliament
OF such expectations.
Inc announcement of the govern.
ment's decision with relation to Ger
mlany's food supplies came almost CO.
incidentally with the receipt of two
dispatches from the United States.
One said that Count Won Bernstorfr.
the German ambassador, had informed
the Washington government that Ger.
many was willing to abandon heisub.
marine policy provided Great Britain
ceased interfering with cargoes OF
foodstuffs, and the other declared that
he again had advised neutral shipping
to avoid those waters which Germany
nad declared would become a danger
GUS area three days hence.
Resources to Last Five Years.
Mr.. Lloyd George gave the details
of the financial arrangements of the
allies as they were decided on at the
Paris conference of the British
French and Russian ministers of fin.
ance, and put into round figures what
heretofore had been guessed the re.
markable increase in the productivity
and efficiency of the Russian people BY
the prohibition of the sale of vodka.
This productivity and efficiency he
placed as high as SO per cent.
Great Britain, the chancellor of the
,exchequer said, had resources which
would last five years, and France
perhaps sufficient for three years.
Mr.. Lloyd George paid tribute to
the burden that France at present II
bearing, and gave pledge that the
allies would stand by Belgium finan.
cially until the time for the settlement
came.
Mr., Churchill disclosed for the first
time the total naval losses as the re.
suit Of the war. These, he said, were
upwards of 5000 officers and men. a
majority of them victims of sub.
marines.

The measure makes the state high

make plans for state roads. The high
way commission and county boards are
to act together in appointing road SUI
pervisors.
