A MAYORS TESTIMONY.

Mayor James r. Hanna Of Des
Moines, Ia gives his personal testi-
mony to the advantages of prohibition
as follows:
THE saloons were closed on the
18th of February. All the desirable
locations were picked up by other
businesses within the next few weeks
following. A few out.of-the-way loca-
tions are still vacant.
Il cannot see that there is any ap-
preciable effect because of throwing
men out of employment and certainly
no increase in demands for charity. In
fact, it is exactly the other way. The
men who lost employment have gone
into other lines. Some of them have
followed up their former calling in
other cities, but the men who were
spending in the saloons the money
which their families needed are now
buying groceries and shoes instead.
The consequence is a very much bet
ter tone in every way. In the first
place their families are not now in
want and in the second place, they
are paying their bills for the ordinary
necessities. This is making collec-
tions noticeably better in other lines,
so our merchants report.
Our experience proves that a de-
cisive policy can handle the bootleg
ging very effectually. There will be
some illicit sales, to be sure, but they
can be reduced to a very small mini
mum"

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-

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
