Weather..

When the frost is on the window
and the kitchen pail is froze;
When the little icy needles
come with every breath that
blows;
When the chilblains make us
groan aloud and cold feet give us
pain
It's safe to bet that we all wish
for summertime again.
For while we sweat and stew
around in breezy summer clothes
It's an easy thing to cool off
and forget our earthly woes.
But it's different in the winter
when the world is full Of ice
And the weather is as hard to
beat as any loaded dice.
We may boast about our climate
and about our spring and fall
But the balmy days of summer
are the best ones after all.

A dead tree falls with hollow

STEPS TAKEN 10
 SUPPLY MUNITIONS
DEPARTMENT TO ATTEND Tc FURNISHING SUPPLIES ON
 AN ADEQUATE SCALE.

London. The ministry of muni tions bills. establishing department to attend to the furnishing of supplies of munitions on an adequate scale, was passed by the House of Lords and received royal assent.
 In the debate on the bill Baron St. Davids, lord lieutenant of Pembroke shire. thought it "a pity that the bill did not give power to requisition men as we'll as workers" He wished to disassociate himself, he said. from att Jacks on the working classes.
 The upper classes as whole, Ire said. had come out of this trial won derfully we'll but there were idlers still among them. Even among the members of the upper house he ven tured to say they could find men who had never done a days work for them selves or for anybody else since they were born, and that the sons of some of them still were hanging about theaters and music halls.
 While that was going on, the baron contended. they might save them selves the trouble of looking for work ingmen and talking of conscription and compulsory service. Men who refused to work should be made to fight. whether they like it or not

BATTLE CONTINUES
 IN BALTIC REGIONS
GERMANS BALkED IN EFFORT TO REACH LEMBERG FROM
 THE SOUTH.
ARTILLERY FIGHT IN WEST
Italians Have Begun an Attack on Gorizia, One of the Strongly For
 tified Austrian Positions.

London - In the Baltic provinces and along the Dniester River heavy fighting continues between the Rus sians and Austrians and Germans. The movement. forward and back. ward. of the battle lines in the Baltic provinces is almost continual and each side has at various times held the advantage.
 In Ga1icia the scene of the fighting has changed. The Germans, baked in their effort to reach Lemberg from the south. have attacked the Russians on the River San, north of Przemysl and along the Dniester in Southeast ern Galicia, and in their report claim successes in both sections
 The movement in the southeast re- sembles that which failed further up the Dniester, at Zurawna. but is on wider scale. The right wing of the Austro-German army is only 9 miles from the Roumanian frontier, while its left wing reaches as far as Halicz. where many attacks have been tle- livered against a bridgehead. The center of the operations is Kolomea. from which point the main attaeks. which have carried the Teutonfc aI- lies across the Dniester in several places, are being launched
 Simultaneously the Germans are proceeding with their attack on the Russian center on the River Rawka, west of Warsaw. where they also have been successful. according to their report.
 In the western zone artillery en- agreements are in progress from the sea to the Woevre and even beyond that district, with here and there in fantry fighting The French have at- tempted to force the Germans at some points out of their strongly entrench. ed positions, and the Germans have been endeavoring to recover lost ground A big German offensive was predicted several days ago. but so far it has not materiali1ed, although it is still expected
 With Monfalcone and Gradisca in their hands, the Italians have begun an attack on Gorizia fGorz), further up the Isonzo River. and one of the Austrians' most strongly fortified po- sitions. The Italians already have cut the communications 10 the north and south of the town, so that it now depends entirely on the difficult noun tain road to the east.

GERMANS WIN IN
 EAST AND WEST
ENTIRE POSITIONS OF RUSSIANS WERE TAkEN-PARiS ADJ
 MITS LOSS.
16,OO0 PRISONERS TAKEN
Lines of Austro-Germans in Gaficia Now Extend From cyerniawa
 to Sieniawa.

London. Germany claims an- other great victory in the east. North west of Mosciska, in the region Of Sieniawa, the German report says that along line extending over 43 miles the entire positions of the Rus sians were taken and 16,006 prisoners captured.
 The Russian official report, how ever, only mentioned the locality where this action is said to have taken place in a paragraph which de- clared that the Austro-Germans, after heavy losses in the region of Moscis- ka, did not rseume the offensive.
 According to Petrograd the Austro- Germans have made another crossing of the Niester, where a brilliant cav airy charge at Zale Szczyky resulted in local Russian success, but no claim is made that the invaders were pushed back across the river. 4 crossing of the river at this place may not be serious affair for the Rus sians, as it is remote from Lemberg and an advance from it might expose the Austro-German flank.
 German Official Statement.
 The German official statement says;
 Near Kuzie, northwest of Shavli, a few enemy positions were taken. Three officers and 300 men were cap tured. Southeast of the road from Miriampol to Koyno our troops took the First Russian line by storm. Three officers and 313 men were cap tured.
 'In the southeastern theater Gen. eral von Mackensen began an ataelx over line extending 43 miles. Start ing from their positions at Cyerniawa, northwest of Mosciska, and at Sienia- wa. the enemy's positions have been taken along the entire length of this front Sixteen thousand prisoners were taken.
 Attacks by the troops under Gen. eral von Linsingen and General von Der Markitz also made progress"
