The Luconic Adolf.

From the Liller Kriegszeitung, a little news
paper published by the German troops in the
trenches somewhere" in France, tho staff
translator Englishes the following:
The young farmer-soldier who had fought
with us from the beginning of the and
was still alive In Flanders wasted few words
In three months he had written home exactly
three times. The first letter ran:
Dear Wife, am still alive and have re-
ceived the little package. If the baby is mean,
spank him. "ADOLF"
The second letter varied only little:
Dear Bertha-I still live-a thing that cat,ses
me wonder. II the baby is still bad, just spank
MIN again. ADOLF"
In few days the young wife received a
photograph from Il military hospital in Heidel-
berg showing. with number of other soldiers,
her husband wearing on his breast the Iron
cross. On the back of the picture was scrubbed:
Dear Bertha,-I wounded. Well again
Back again Tomorrow. If the kid acts mean,
grab him by the ears. ADOLF,
The young wife, considerably pioucd, there
upon wrote him. suggesting that he might at
least have told her how he got the Iron Cross
lie replied:
About the Iron Cross-it was very simple.
The major summoned me- had to stand still
The commandment pinned it on me. Regards
ADOLF"

THAT the participation of women in
political campaigns would exercise re-
fning influence on these rude and masculine
performances was promise and a prophecy
which in the past came frequently from the
lips of suffrage orators So far as we have
been able TO observe, the prophecy is not
fulfilled.
Wherever the billion dollar Hughes special
carries it's cargo of lady spellbinders there
is hecklng and sometimes worse, SO that in
many cases the orators have not been able to
proceed with their oratory. AS in Chicago
the other night. when advocates OF the Susan
B. Anthony amendment found themselves
hustled off the streets and deprived OF their
banners, the offenders usually are women or
are led by women.
No Improvement in the manners Of political
audiences has been effected by Introducing the

Miles-Vlenna Says Attacks
Have Stopped.

Petrograd. Jan. 11.-In the two-week
battle that eliminated in the capture
Of Czartorzsk and the driving of all
Austro-German forces from the east
bank Of the Strypa river the Teuton
losses totaled at least $4,000 men. ac-
cording to official estimates made here.
Official reports to the war Office state
that the Russians have taken more
than 10000 prisoners and that twice
that number of Austro-G German SOL
diers have been killed or wounded.
Advance 80 Miles.
During their successful operations
between the Sereth and Strypa rivers
the Russians have advanced thirty
miles along a front of sixty miles.
This was accomplished under severe
weather conditions, but they are now
improving and it is expected that the
drive westward will gain momentum.
The Teuton positions on the west
bank of the Strypa river are strongly
fortified, but from the east bank the
Russians, with their now plentiful sup.
plies Of ammunition, will be able to
direct devastating fire upon the enc
my's trenches.
The railway town Of Buczacz on the
west bank Of the Strypa is already be,
ing shelled by the Russian gunners
and has been set on fire in several
places. The capture of this town will
give the cars troops complete control
of railway line leading to the Dniester
river and put in dangerous position
the Austro-German troops opposing
the Russian advance northeast OF
Czernowitz.
Say Russ Stop Attacks.
Vienna, Jan. 1.-Austro-H Hungarian
headquarters reported under date OF
January 9 that the Russians in the
eastern theater had discontinued their
attacks after being repulsed at al!
points east Of the Galician and Bes
sarabian frontier. The official report
follows:
THE Russians who were two days
ago repulsed at all points east of the
Galician and Bessarabian frontier yes
terday ceased their attacks. Only in
termittent artillery fire took place to
day. The Russians are drawing their
reserves to that region.
"Austro-German troops in the Kor
min river region of Volhynia dispersed
Russian accommodating detachments.
