RUSSIANS VICTORIOUS
over THE Turks
Continued From First Page.

entrance into the fight continue to cir
culate; one rumor to-day has it, how
ever, that Rumania will not immedi-
ately declare war, but that she will
throw troops into Transylvania, which
is Hungarian territory, for the purpose
of protecting Rumanian nationals.
Meanwhile German official utterances
continue optimistic The communica-
tions given out every day say that the
situation in the eastern theatre of the
war remains unchanged. Certain semi
official summaries of events received in
London by wireless telegraphy from
Berlin are somewhat more eommunica-
tive. Such message received recently
says the Russiars have had some sue
cesses, in which their losses were
heavy, and that the Turks have been
operating successfully in the Caucasus
and are now marching on Egypt.
To Plan Campaign Against Russia
Telegrams reaching here from Berlin
record the arrival there of Archduke
Charles Francis. the Austrian Crown
Prince. and DR.. Won Bethmann-Hol
weg, the German Imperial Chancellor,
who are to be joined shortly by Baron
burma, tne new AustTo-huhSaIiah
Minister of Foreign Affairs, presumably
for conference regarding plan of
campaign against Russia, rs well as the
adoption of suitable measures against
the prospective entrance into the war
of Italy and Rumania.
Recent dispatches from Sweden indi-
cate that German airship attack on
the new Finnish railroad between Swe-
den and Russia is coming to be expect
ed. This is the line that runs around
the northern end of the Gulf of Both
MIA. Its destruction would be a serious
blow to Russia as the only other routes
of communication between Russia and
her allies are by way Of the Baltic sea
or through Archangel on the north.
The former route has been made impos-
sible by mines and the latter is likely
to be cut off any day by ice.

lose GROUND ELSEWHERE

Berlin, Jan. 81 (By Wireless to Lon
don, sos P. M.).-Although spirited
fighting is in progress along the west
ern battle front, the official statement

The Germans captured trenches near
Berry-au-Bac and Pont-a-Mousson, but
lost ground in the neighborhood of
Notre Dame De Lorette. A defeat of
the Russians in small engagements in
East Prussia also is announced. The
statement follows:
''ln the western theatre of war only

at Notre Dame De Lorette which we
occupied on the day before yesterday
were lost again to-day.
Northeast of Arras the French re.

high road from Arras to Lille. but were
repulsed. Southwest of Berry -au- -Bac

THE LAST STEP"

Dr. A. 0. Evans preached one of the greatest sermons ever preached in Third Street church last night on the theme, The Last Step There was an immense congregation and great indeed was the interest shown Dr Evans said that many times the vic tory was lost and the goal missed le. cause the last step was not taken. Many a man has walked up to the gates just ready to enter into the field of victory but failed to make the last step The lsraelites failed to enter Canaan because they would not take the last step. Some of the return ng spies gave reports that produced fright and the people turned aside and suffered for 3S years in the wilder ness. The last step, said Dr. Evans. was in many eases the most impor- tant one. The first step is very inn portant but useless is the first unless the last is also taken. The young man who came running to Jesus and asked What must l do to inherit eternal life?" went away lost and undOne be- cause he would not take the last step. Christians fail in their Christian lives because they do not go the whole way. They go very well till they reach certain limit and there they halt and go no further. It would cer. tainly be pity. said Dr. Evans. for a man to climb up to the very gates of paradise and have the gates shut in his face because he did not take the final step. This was a great sermon and a sense of awful solemnness set tied down over the entire congrega- ton as the preacher, with the power of an ancient prophet pictured the path that leadeth nome to God, and those who fall by the wayside be- cause the last stetp was not taken No services Saturday night. Thirty one applied for membership in the church during the revival. The church was thoroughly revived and the good done will be felt long after the min ister is in heaven There twill be Mothers Day at Third Street church Sunday morning

OBJECTIONS ID
 EXTENDING LIMIT
SOME SUBURBAN RESIDENTS OB. JECT TO BEING REQUIRED
 TO PAY CITY TAXES.
Say They Have Bought Property out side the City Limits Because They Wanted to Reside Outside of the Corporation.

That there will be some material o1-' iecton to the idea of increasing he city limits is indicated in thc eNWes- sions from Park avenue. where the| first r0nosed city init extension had been planned
 There is being formed an orgauza- iton of those residents just outside city limits who win jointly oppose an extension of the limits
 A number Of arguments are being used against extending the limits. Probably the most forcefll one is that they do not want to live in the city, that they bought outside the limits be- cause they wanted to live outside, and that they do not want the condition changed.
 On the other hand there are many who live outside Who are willing to have the city limits extended to iu- clude their homes. They say that as they receive fire protection police protection in all emergency cases, and other city advantages for which they do not pay, now that the city Is sadly in need of increased revenue to main tain these departments. they are will. ing to come in and pay their pro rata.
 There is in some circles a senti- ment in favor of excluding the nou- residents Of the city from fire and poe lice rotection, but that is most im- practicable. A fire outside the city must have fire department ttentlon else it would soon spread within the city. If there is a demand for off cers over the city line. the police would not be justified in refusing to answer, and perhaps let some crimi- nal escape justice.
 It had been anticipated that the city llml,s would be extended on Park avenue, and also in the south portion of the city, particularly in t.e South Central avenue district. and out N'l- Vern avenue. Recently new fire sta tons were erected in South Hot Springs and out on Malvern avenue.

and these furnish onresidents of the city with fire protection that is much closer than is furnished many within the con crate limits. That add od fire protection makes for lower iu- suuuce rates, and the property dVn- c~ly owner just outside tha city is enjoying many benefits for which they contribute nothing.
 There is probably no means by which the city limits could be extend ed by the city council against the wishes of the residents ot the prop orly involved Of course if there were not opposition, the council could make the eNtens.on TO make such an extension over objections. it seems. will require a long court process that is not likely to be entered into at this time.
