WARSAW OBJECT

Teutons Strike at Polish City
From North and South.
GIGANTIC OPERATIONS

Austro-Germans Work In Con-

London. = The Austro German
armies, which now appear to be work
ing in perfect concert as the result of
the German organization, are giving
the Russians little rest or time to re-
organize themselves after their retreat
from Galicia
simultaneously with the German eff
fort to reach Warsaw, or the Russian
lines serving that fortress from the
north, the Austrians have attacked
along the Dniester and have succeed
ed in crossing that river at several
points. General Won Mackensen's
army, which doubtless had been wait
ing for Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
to move in the north, has also come
to life again and the fighting has been
resumed in Southern Poland In fact,
there is fighting CT more or less
severity all along the Russian front,
except in Central Poland, where the
Russians are in such strong positions
that, in the opinion of military men,
1t would be impossible to break
through.
Campaign On Gigantic Scale.
The Germans claim to have made
further progress with their northern
operations, but with the Russians re-
firing it is not likely that the main
forces have clashed as yet. The COM
bined operations are the most gigantic
yet undertaken, the aim being, accord
ing to military experts. TO squeeze the
Russians out of Warsaw and the great
slice OF country which they hold to
the north, south and east Of that city
and at the same time to attempt an
invasion OF Bessarabia
Reinforcement have been sent to
the German troops in the Russian
provinces of Courland and Kovno,
with the result that vigorous military
operations have been resumed in that
section The Russians are offering a
stubborn resistance and are holding
strategic positions, according to an
official statement issued at the head

pei, at one time governor of Kaio-
Chow, the German concession in the
Chinese province of Shantung, cap
tured in November by the Japanese,
contributes an article on Monday to
Der Tag, warning his compatriots not
to underestimate the danger OF a
breach with the United States and
asking them to weigh seriously the
question whether the value OF Ger
many's submarine warfare against
British commerce is great enough to
justify a continuance of it's present
form at the expense of a rupture with
the transatlantic nation.
The article Ia remarkable not only
for it's open statement regarding the
wide-reaching effects which the par
ticipation of America in the hostilities
might exercise on the future course of
the war-effects which Admiral Won
Truppel says are greatly underesti-
mated in Germany-but also as con-
tribution from a naval officer.

stories of earlier existing American
agreements with Great Britain against
Germany. explaining that this Is most
improbable, owing to American diplo-
matte traditions. But 1t is undenia-

Wilson's unquestionable desire to

THE FULL DINNER PAIL.


THE FULL DINNER PAIL.
Everybody's Magazine, in its new
department, Keep Posted" narrates
and comments in recent number as
follows:
"Winc-woman-and-song has gone up
against dollars-and-cents in Lansing,
Mich, and the result is one Of the
most notable SO far achieved in Amer
lea. The most prominent leader OF the
drys is not an evangelist, nor any
other sort of custodian of the soul. He
is simply commercial person-R. II.
Scott.
in the year 1910, in the factory of
which Mr.. Scott is manager, in a pc
riod of ten successive weeks. the en-
ployees lost total of 1923 working
days-and the wages OF those days
because of not being able to recover
promptly from pay nights spent in sa-
looms.
I'm the dry-versus-wet campaign in
1910 in Lansing Mr.. Scott fought for
morals and economics. Nevertheless
the campaign did not please all Of
Lansing's business men. They thought
that O dry town would lose business
to wet towns near by. SO, two years
later, Lansing went wet again.
This gave everybody a wonderful
chance to compare a dry Lansing with
a wet Lansing, commercially.
First, as for the cost of running the
government, 1t was soon found that q
wet Lansing had to spend good deal
OF money supporting it's wet citizens.
One of many proofs was this: the cost
of feeding the prisoners in the county
Jail during the two years while Ian
sing was dry had been $4,000, while
during the two ensuing years OF wet
ness the cost of feeding them (at the
same rate per PERSON. was $11,300.
Quite difference for town of 10000.
Second, as for business itself,
scores of merchants were converted to
the proposition that the competition of
saloons in nearby wet towns would
not be half so Injurious to them as
the competition of saloons on Ian
sings own streets. Their experiences
may be summarized into the statement
OF a butcher who remarked merely
that when the town was dry he could
collect his back bills, and when 1t was
wet he couldn't

counts. The issue discussed was pros

"The efficiency of the factory is at
least 10 per cent higher dry than wet.
according to Mr.. Scott
And similar result is shown In the
cost figures furnished to Everybody's
Magazine by Mr.. C. e, Bement, gen.
eral manager OF another company. In
dry Lansing--and for no reason ex-
cept dryness and greater sobriety and
energy-the cost of making engines

cents per horse power"

Does the liquor traffic pay the
United States?
Does it pay financially?
Does 1t pay commercially?
Does 1t pay industrially?
Does 1t pay physically?
Does 1t pay mentally?
Does 1t pay morally?
What single good thing can be said
for the trade in liquors or the habit
of drinking alcohol?
Nothing?
Then why not kill the traffic with
