THE WAR SITUATION

The twelfth day of the great Russian Germans froms Volhyna to Bukowina shows nowhere any signs of slackening. All along the front fresh gains for the Russian troops and the capture of thou sands of additional prisoners and Of guns. machine guns and war supplies are claimed. The number of prisoners now exceeds 15OO00.
 While semi-official advices from Petro- grad give report that the Austrians have evacuated Czernowitz, capital of Bukowina, the latest official communica ton from Austrian headquarters says the troops of Emperor Francis Joseph are making a stand north and east of the city and at both points have repulsed Russian attacks.
 In the drive westward from the region of Lutsk the Austrans are counter at tacking or entrenching themselves In new positions for a stand.
 No reports of gains for either side in Galicia in the region of Tarnopol have come through. Here apparently there is still deadlock between the Russians and the Austrians and Germans. On the German end of the northern front in Russia the Russians near Baran- ovichi attacked and carried German trenches, but later were forced to give them up under strong pressure by the

 requested the judging of babies proceed with all eXpediency. "All righ,' said MT. Ward, but I warn 1 you I shall judge the babies by their
 mothers. If their mammas are pretty the I baby has my vote.' We cannot commit ourserves on that l proposition as we are married, echoed Commissioners Barber and Hornady. | On the stage the three commissioners l passed gravely back and forth, looking at l the assembled babies. Commissioners Ward asked the question: What do they look like, John?' 'I think they look like socialists" an- swered Mr. Hornady. "Eh?" queried MT Barber.
 By the way" shot back MT Hornady, have you inquired whether the fathers of these little ba bies are voters?" Good lord" calculated Commissioner
 Barber, laughingly, my sins are finding me out"
 After Commissioner Ward had picked four winners, all of whose mothers were cry comedy, one good looking lady in the front row said within hearing to her neighbor:
 Let's go, we won't be noticed, as it is all fixed, anyway" Whats the name?" suavely from MT.
 Ward, "as I have picked your child" 'Oh, thank you so much, MT. Ward, 'gushed the lady, and then to her neigh Dor in an aside: 'I knew MT. Ward was |, straight, and 1 have always urged my husband to vote for him.
 But if the comments on the stage were humorous, the remarks amongst the audience would have provoked laughter in an Egyptian mummy. One man sent his card to MT Ward after a few win ners had been picked out. MT Ward read the card which contained an ad- vertisement for an ocust, and read the pencilled lines to the effect that his eyes were in bad shape.
 However the crowd was in excellent
 humor and the commissioners were so slad to be away from their official duties that they disported about like school

Germans. Infantry attacks by the Ger mans have occurred along the Dvina riv- CT and in the lake region south of Dvnslz but all of these were repulsed, accord ing to Petrograd
 The French on the slopes south of Le Mort Homme, northwest of Verdun, have attacked and captured a German trench. The Germans are still violently lombard ing the sectors of Thiaumont and Fort Siouvile, northeast of Verdun, probably preparatory to another infantry attack with the hope of a further advance to- ward the fortress.
 Only artillery activity is in progress on the remainder of the front in France and Belgium. The Canadians are still hold ing the positions recaptured from the Germans in the vicinity of Zillebeke, where there is intermittent shelling by both sides
 The fighting of the Austro-I Italian line in Tyrol seemingly has died down in vio- lence, only artillery bombardments and small infantry engagements having been reported. To the east of Monfalcone, which lies short distance from the head of the Gulf of Triest, the Italians have captured Austrian positions and taken 49S officers and men.
 Near Felahie, on the Tigris river, the Turks have repulsed an attempt of the British to advance. according to Constau- tinople The annihilation of 400 British troops on the Euphrates sector also is re- ported by the Turkish war office. Persian volunteers are declared to be attacking the Russians near the Persian border, inflicting heavy losses.

AUSTRIAN DEFENSE

Austrans and their supposed readiness for resistance to any assault.
 The outstanding features are the steadi- ly mounting number of prisoners, aug mented by the surrender of large Aus tran units in their entirety the whole sale abandonment of military trains and all sorts of field equipment in such quantities that they cannot yet be esti- mated, and finally the comparatively small extent of Russian losses.
 Except in the center of the front which runs from Volhynia to the Roumanlan border, the Austrians have been wholly unable to resist the Russian drive. In the vicinity of Tarnopol the opposing forces are still in deadlock but on both Hanks in the Lutsk region and in the Dniester sector the breach made in the Austrian lines is widening constantly
 In the Lutsk region the Russian forces, after piercing the Austrian lines by cap turing the fortress, have progressed in two diverging directions toward kovel and Vladimir-V Volnyski and have attained the points only 20 miles from both of these objectives.
 A similar wedge has been driven into the Austrian lines from Dubno toward Sokal. This wedge has penetrated 3O miles into the Austrian lines and the breadth of the breach made has been in creased to 60 miles. Another important breach extends for 30 miles between Dneister and the Pruth.
 The Russian occupation of Sniatyn which means an advance of 16 miles be- yond Czernowitz, not only threaten kol- omea, but leaves the Austrian position at Czernowtz virtually untenable, as its continued occupation would leave the forces defending the city cut off from the remainder of the army.
 It is estimated by Russian officers tha, the Austrans had lost nearly half oi the forces operating to the southwestern front.

mated that the central powers losses from the Pripet to the Roumanian border now total S00,O0O, or nearly half the origi- nal effectives.
 Great satisfaction is felt with the re- establishment of contact with the Teu- tons along the whole southwestern front, but attention is chiefly centered upon the operations for kovel, Vladimor- Volynski, Czernowitz and kolomea. Colonel Shu- husky, summarizing the results of the fighting, makes the deduction from the let test Russian official statement that the entire line of the Stripa now is occupied by the Russians.
 Northwest of Buczacz number of good roads run westward to the Podgaitse railway, which is regarded as accounting for the vigor of the resistance in thia sector to the Russian advance. The vil- lage of Kozin, 15 miles southwest oi pubno, captured by the Russians, is or

 Other members of the delegation, however, do not accept the White view. Ray Rushton of Montgomery said: "A national platform should con tain no reference to a local problem. To adopt suffrage plank because the reNlb blicans have done so or because the women boast of their strength in certain doubtful states would be the result simply of our subservicnce to political expediency.

COMMISSION IS CoCKEYED

Immediately following the baby contest the commissioners left the vicinity, but not before hearing various dubious com ments as to their eyesight and judg- ment One estimable matron of uncer- tain years made the refreshing state ment that President Ward and his col leagues were a cockeyed band of social highbnders. But outside of that they were dubbed mental dwarfs and the state ment made that no wonder the city was always in trouble with that bunch on the job. And this tirade all came through the fact that one of the winners was not that particular womans darling preci- ous.''
 The three city commi ssioners were off on spree yesterday. Wearied of hear ing complaints from merchants who had been arrested for not paying their li- cense they enjoyed the trip to East Lake park, where everyone 'kowtowed to them and groups of little boys and girls stood around and gazed in awe at tneir eXcellencieS
 Commissioner Barber went to the park with Mrs Barber and a friend, while Commissioners Ward and Hornady and newspa per man motored out in a brand new "barouche." Arrived at the park John Hornady decided he would "blow" the crowd for the drinks. All drank ''dopes" and then Commissioner Ward suggested a visit to the photograph gal lery. A photographer of the usual timid variety appeared and speedily arranged all the details with the result that MT. Ward found himself with a young baby in his arms and seated beside Mrs. Arlie Barber looking in the camera. Outside the proetariat looked on humbly at roy atty at play.

Three hardy, cavalier city commission CTS journeyed to East Lake park yester day afternoon and there shook off theil official dignity to act as judges of 2 baby show. The martyrs to the cause were Mayor Commissioner George B Ward, John R. Hornady and Arlie Bar Der. Commissioner J. D. Trust sent "his regrets" and Commissioner James Weatherly was out of the city.
 The serious business of judging babies while attendant with all manner of pos sdilities, apparently did not embarrass the members of the city commission hal1 as much as the anxious mothers, whose arms held offspring that did not appea to the commissional eye.
 Following is list of the winners:
 The prettiest baby girl: Miss Joe Loveman, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Joe H. Loveman. F Fairview Circle.
 The prettiest baby boy: John L. Conway, Jr, son of MT. and Mrs. John L. Conway, 47oS First avenue.
 The prettiest "redhead: Francis Haollowood, son of MT. and Mrs Rob- ert Hollowood, 519 Forty-third street, Fairfield.
 The prettiest ''blonde:'' Miss Marian Eunice Wolfe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. c. L. Wolfe, 1}o5 Fifteenth ave- nue, south.
 The prettiest brown haired baby: Miss Mary Ruth Bailey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. c. Bailey, S325 Walker avenue.
 The prettiest black haired baby: Rayfield McLendon, son of MT. and Mrs. P. c. McLendon, 5202 Austin ave- nue.

great consequence as the one which seemed to the justices to be the single issue of importance.
 There are many business men in the United States who can repeat from mem- ory the substance of the speech delivered by Governor Hughes at Youngstown, O., at the beginning of the presidential cam paign of 1908. That speech is still re- garded as the best exposition of the proper relation which should be maintained on the one hand between business and the public and on the other hand between the public and business.
 A LITTLE GOOD FORTUNE
 In his career. MT. Hughes has been sin gularly fortunate. Fortuitous circum- stances for which he was not responsible several times aided him. He probably would still be practicing law in New York had he not been appointed counsel for the legislative committee which was author ized to investigate the life insurance com panies of New York city. He would not have been appointed had another than he accepted the offer first made by the com mittee This offer VAS first made to James M Beck. who was compelled to decline it because he was at the time act ing as private or personal counsel to the president of one of the life insurance companies.

W. r. FARRELL, assistant parole officer of the
