FOR RRohI6lTtoN NOW.
MI. Alexander Nesbit has been sher-
~ Of Denver for u years-and he
didn't vote for prohibition. Here are
some of the many things he said about
the good effects of the law Ia an In
terview published In the Pueblo Chief.

Y "The habitual loafer has disap-
peared. The crowds that used to. hang
around the lower end Of the city at
free lunch counters have gone Where.
i haven't the least idea. Like last
summers niss, they just disappeared.
Again. the wine rooms are no more

say have another on glass OF water.
And the old slogan, Let's have an
other Ii . misnomer in Denver.
Neither do very many people say:
Let's have another. lunch and they
get through; and 60 home.
!. I've, haven't had case of murder
since the first OF the year. Our SUI
cides are falling OF to great extent;
the mileage of the ambulance and pa
troEwagon is less than 60 per cent of
what 1t formerly was; our officers on
the beats are treated more courteous
1y; there is better air morally
around the city the places where
crime was. formerly Matched are gone
and the city Is better on In every way.
so far as its police department and
their work ts concerned. ..k..,.
Let me ten you another thing, the
faii-rusher, the old soak who came
home with quarter in his pocket and
sent HIS. ,eight:year.otd. ragged bare
footed, girl to the saloon for can CT
beer: and then tossed her crust Of
bread while he swigged the beer and
snarled at her through his drunken

D. C. OFFICIALS TAKE APPEAL.
Fight Mandamus to Make Them Is.
sue Building Permit

Justice Gould of the District Supreme
Court has directed the issuance of a
mandamus against the District Com
missioners and Morris Hacker, inspec-
tor of buildings, requiring the granting
of permit to Charles J. Walker to
build houses less than fourteen feet
wide on F street northwest near Rock
creek. within the area expected to be
included in the connecting parkway
between Potomac Park and the Zoo
The District officials noted an appeal
to the District Court of Appeals, which
will have the effect of staying the is
suance of the writ of mandamus until
the appellate tribunal considers and
disposes of the proposition.
The Commissioners and Inspector
Hacker in their answer said the re-
fusal of the permits was based on the
ground that the houses proposed would
not comply with the building regula tons
and that they believed that the petit
toner was attempting to improve the
property merely to enhance its value
when it should be condemned for park
purposes.
Attorney J. Barrett Carter appeared
for the builder. Assistant Corporation
Counsel Stephens represented the Off
Gals.

lows:
THE battle continues in Volhynia and
Galicia, the Germans trying to check
the development Of our offensive on
their pierced front. German reinforce
ments have arrived from the region

Despite the stubborn resistance of
the enemy in many places, our offensive
continues on the whole front from the
Pripet marshes to the Rumanian from
tier.
Our cavalry led the attack in MANY
sectors. Among the episodes during
the fighting were first, near Sousek'

attacked the enemy behind the forth
hcations and captured two guns and
200 boxes Of ammunition; second, near
Boriatno. southeast of Lutsk, our Skin

Starts in Vicinity of Olivia.

The operation began in the vicinity
of Olyka. where skirmishing has been
frequent lately Both sides appeared
to have been feeling for weak spot
in their opponents line. The Russian
advance from this point. which is
twenty-five miles from Lutsk. was ac-
complished in two and one-half days
During the long period of inactivity
the Austrians constructed strong forth
fications in this section. The topog-
raphy Of the country also formed
strong natural defenses.
Military observers regard the opera
ton as an extraordinarily brilliant
achievement, and emphasize the able
leadership of Gen. Brussiloff, who con-
Quoted the Carpathian campaign and
made a record for prisoners, guns and
munitions captured.
Lutsk is an important link strength
ening the connection between the
southwestern region and the northern
section. and the possession of it by the
Russians is regarded as a valuable step
toward the recapturing of lost territory.
The possession of Eutsk is a direct mem
ace to Lembere, upon which place the
Austrians now are massing their forces.
The prisoners captured are said 10 be
chiefly Hungarians and Austrians. They
include small proportion of SIays.
who are chiefly employed on the Italian
front.
