Among these latter are the manuals
of the two Houses of Congress. the
Congressional Record, the reports of
the secretaries of the various depart
ments of the National Government,
and the constitutions of the majority
of the States.

fetal, and who would be glad tt
avail themselves of an opportunity t.
do systematic and organized study
of such a subject, the instructor Of

Enemy Given Blows that They Unable to Make Recovery from

PARIS, Oct 12.-General Joffre, sent the following order of the day to armies of the North:
 The general commander in chief expresses great satisfaction to the troops who have been fighting un- ceasingly on the Somme three long months By their yalor and pcrse- ycrance they have given blows to the enemy from which he has diffi- culty in recovering.
 "Verdun relieved, twenty-five yil- lagcs reconquered, more than 35,oOO prisoners and loo cannon taken, successive enemy lines broken clear through for a depth of ten kilo- metcr5-such are the results already obtained
 "In continuing the contest with the same tenacious will, in redoubling their erdor in union with our brave allies, the valiant armies of the Sommc will be assured of a glor- ious past in .he decisive victory"

Smashing Tactics Now in Progress Slowly Win- hing Russ the Ad-
 vantage.
TO 0VERWHELM TEUTON
Russians Eating Their Way into the Lines of the Germans in
 GaIiCia.

LONDON, oct. 12-The smashing tactics of Ruzsky and Brusiloff are slowly winning successes against the Teutonic armies in Galicia that could be obtained in no other way. All reports from the front indicate that the Cars commanders have aban- doned the idea of beating the enemy by any other means than that of overwhelming force. Local opera tions. raids by small detacnments and surprise attacks have ai given way to furious attacks on a great scale and along a wide front The prodigal use Of shells and the almost reckless sacrifice of human lives is forging the new sword Of victory. Slowly, at terrific cost to both at- tacker and defender, the iron is eat ing its way into the enemy's lines. "Lemberg must be taken is the cry that is echoing along the ranks from the wooded Carpathians to the mo- rasses of the Stokhod.
 Lemberg Must 8e Retaken
 Ever laconic when victory is with in grasp. Petrograd sums up the op- erations in the region from which the Cars troops are striking their hardest blows at Lemberg's defens- es as follows:
 Tn the region south of Brzez- any our troops captured some enemy positions and after ward received several counter attacks by German and Turkish troops"
 Zlota Lipa Line
 This is important. Nowhere on the arc Of steel that hedges in the Galician capital have the Russians a better chance to deal telling blow than here. Only in one sector are they as near to their objective. Forty miles separate the Zlota Lipa. below Brzezany. from the great fort ress to the northwest The fall of the town and the capture Of the en- tire Zlota Lipa Line which will be the immediate sequel, would compel the retirement of von Bothmer's ar my almost to the outskirts of Lem berg. Tho Russians giant guns would do Che rest. It is because of the importance of the zlota Lipe Line to the defense of Lemberg that the Russians arc concentrating their energy against it, both on the south and north

NEW COINS TO
 BE READY FOR
 XMAS SHOPPERS
Fresh Series of Halves Quarters and Dimes Being Minted by
 Government.

WASHINGTON, D. c, October 12. -Treasury officials today, while de- clning to nabe any definite day said they believed that the series of newly designed cons-half dol lars, quarters, and would be in circulation by Christmas. Some
 trouble is being experienced in get ting the coins mechanically perfect so they can be stacked properly and SO they will fit in the various coin machines, such as pay station tele- phones, which are in use throughout the country These were devised to hold the old coins which have been in use for the last twenty-five years
 The design of the new half dollar hears a full height figure of liberty the folds of the stars and stripes flying to the breeze as background. progressing in full stride toward the dawn of a new day and carrying branches of laurel and oak, which are symbolic of civic and military glory. The hand of the figure is outstretched in bestowal of the splr- 1t of liberty The reverse side shows an eagle perched on a noun crag wings unfolded. From rift in the rock is sapling of mountain pine. symbolic of America.
 The design of the twcnty-flYe-cent piece is intended to typify prepared ness. There is a new figure of Lib erty, full length, front view head 10 the left, stepping forward to the gateway of the country, and on the wall are the words 'In God We Trust" The left arm Of Liberty is raised, bearing a shield in the atti- tude of protection. The right hand carries the olive branch of peace Above the head is the word liberty and on the step under her feet "1916." The reverse side shows an American Eagle with wings extend ed.
 The design of the new dime is more simple, necessarily. because it Is smaller The Cbyerse shows a head of Liberty with winged cap The reverse shows a bundle of rods, with battle ax, symbolic of unity About this is full foliaged branch of olive, to typify peace.
 The designs, flor the half doiar | and dime were executed by Adoph l A. Weinman and, for the quarter | dollar, Herman A. Macnen, both of | whom are sculptors of prominence. |
