COUNCIL TACKLES
FINANCE PROBLEM
With Approach OF July Commission
ers Face Necessity OF Complet-
ing Annual Appropriations.
MUST YET DO MUCH TRIMMING
Suggestion That Cleaning OF Alleys
Be Abandoned For This Year
Brings Protests.

With July approaching and the ne
cessity of passing the annual appro-
priation ordinance before the end OF
June. members of the Moline city
council have taken off their coats and
grappled with the problem OF finance
in earnest.
A great deal of trimming has been
done, but not yet enough, and between
now and July l the various commits
sioners will go to the mat in earnest.
Yesterday it was suggested that
cleaning of alleys be abandoned this
year, but this was the signal for volu-
BILE protests and there does not appear
to be much likelihood that the sugges-
ton will be adopted.

become noted, according to arrange

expected to be a success.

RUSS ATTACK
IN FULL SWING
Two Huge Armies GrappIe In
GaIicia.
ROUMANIA'S AID THE PRIZE
czasS Troops Apparently Making
Slow But Steady Gains Over the
Teutons-Fishting Began Nearly
Week Ago, Remains Undecided.

London, Jan. 4.-The Galician
crown land, Bukowina, the province
of Volyhinia, and the western part OF
Bessarabia, constitute the battle
ground of violent fighting between two
huge armies, Russian and Austro-
German, which began nearly a week
ago and is still in full swing, with the
| Russians the attackers and with Rou-
mania's eventual aid, the prize court
ed by either side.
In the Bukowina the battle centers
upon Czernowitz, the capital. Here
the Russians stormed a height and
are apparently making slow but
steady headway. In Volyhinia, a Ave
day battle has been going on in the
Styr and on the Bug. northward of
Czernowitz, north Of Rafaelowka and
to the Pripet marshes.
Czarnowitz. on the Kovel-Sarny sec
tor. has been for months bitterly con-
tested, but never since the Galician
battle In the earlier stages Of the war,
has the fighting for this point been
so bitter and so protracted as 1t is
in this latest struggle, still undecided.
Only by wrestling from the Teutons
the two Volhynian fortresses, Duduc
and Latzk. will the Russians be able
to undertake a new campaign against
eastern Galicia on a larger scale.
Rovano, the third stronghold. is in
their hands. The Russian offensive
in volhyinia, therefore is aimed to
getting the Kovel-Sarny sector Of the
Brest-Litovsk-Kieff railroad, thus cut
ting of the essential Teuton supply
line and then driving southwark In q
fanking movement against Lutzk and
Dudno.
On the east Galician front which,
with the Bessarabian sector stretch
es close to the Roumanian border, the
battle RACES chiefly southward of Par
nopol. on the middle and upper Styr-
pa. the bridgehead OF Burkonow and
further beyond Czernowitz to Buezac.
Here the Russians are endeavoring to
make headway toward Lemberg and
capture that city. Czaernowitz is
considered by military experts the
key to the Carpathians.
Proallied elements In Roumania
have replied TO the entente represen-
tations. urging Roumanian interven-
tion that the time for Roumania to
Join the allies had passed with the
Teuton offensive, which a year ago
drove the Russians out OF the Car
pathian mountain passes and out OF
the greater part OF Galicia.
Roumania has pointed to the men,
ace TO her border presented by the
presence OF large Teuton forces. The
Russians are now believed TO be striv-
ing for a new great Galician drive
which would necessitate the with
drawal Of this Teuton menace. which
would win Roumania TO the allies.
II was 20 this end that the Russian
army for months held In readiness in
Bessarabia for a drive at Bulgaria
through Roumanian territory was
sent to Galicia and Volyhinia. This
army is believed to be well equipped
with ammunition. principally from
japan.

HEAVY GRIPPE TOLL IN N. Y.
272 Deaths From Pneumonia In One
Week, Record.

New York, Jan. AFTER compar-

ment has renewed it's warning against
grippe.
The figures show that 500 persons
last week died of grippe and pneu-
monia. while last year, in the corre-
spending week, only three hundred
deaths were recorded. Last year dur.
ing the corresponding week, five died
from influenza and last week seventy
four lost their lives from this cause.
Pneumonia claimed 40 victims dur
ing the last week OF 1914, while last
week 272 died. There were fifteen
times as many cases OF grippe last
week as in the last week of 1914. The
health department states that 1000
new cases OF grippe and pneumonia

Austrian Official Says His Government

Shown That Austrian Submarine
Sank the Persia.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Although ad-
mitting that the conducted submarine
activities in eastern Mediterranean
waters, as evidenced by the reports
of the sinking of the British merchant
vessel Glengyle and the Japanese
liner Kenkon Maru, may make i'm
possible a satisfactory explanation of
the destruction of the liner Persia,
state department officials are hope
full that out of the situation may
spring new understanding between
the United States and the Teutonic
allies on the subject of submarine
warfare.
In the same quarters it is regarded
as more than probable that in the
near future the United States govern
ment will approach informally the en-
tente powers with a view to getting
them to agree henceforth to permit
no guns to be mounted on passenger
liners.
The purpose of both moves, now un-
der consideration, say responsible Of
ficials, is to safeguard the lives Of
American citizens who may be com

seas on merchant ships flying the flag
of belligerent nations. II this end is
attained, II is said the sinking Of the
Persia, tragic as it was in the enorm-
Gus toll Of human life, may after ALL
prove blessing In disguise.
President Wilson returned to Wash
ington on a special train from Hot
Springs, Va, where he has been
spending his honeymoon. He has
taken charge OF the entire situation.
Immediately after his arrival he con-
ferred with Secretary Lansing. II is
also probable that he will discuss the
situation with Chairman Stone, OF
the senate committee Of foreign rela-
tions. II is likely also that when con
gress reconvenes there will be a gen
eral airing of views on the floors OF
both houses and senate.
At the Austrian and German en-
bassies the prediction was confident.
ly made that the sinking OF the Persia
will not lead to break. Neither at
the embassies, nor at the state de-
partment has confirmation been re-
