RUSSIANS WANT CzARNowlTz
Through Possession of BokoWina's
Capital They Would Hold "key
to the carpathians."

London, Jan. 3-The Galician crown
land, Bukowina, the province of Vol
hynia and the western part of Bes-
sarabia constitute the battle ground
of two huge armies, Russian and Aus
tro-German, which began nearly a
week ago and is still in full swing,
with the Russians the attackers and
Rumania's eventful aid the prize GOV
eted by both sides.
In Bukowina the battle centers up
On Czernowitz the capital. Here the
Russians yesterday stormed height
and apparently are making slow but
steady headway. In Volhynia five
day battle continues on the Styr and
on the Bug northward of Czartorysk,
north of Rafalowka and to the Pripet
marshes.
Czartorysk on the KovelSarny Sec
tor, has been bitterly contested for
months 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 it is in this
still undecided struggle.
Only by wrestling from the Teutons

On the other hand, the AustroGer-
man forces by decisively defeating the
Russians in this region. would gain
the road to Rovno and possession of
that fortress would strengthen their
position tremendously.

the Russians are endeavoring to make
headway toward Lemburg to capture
that city. Czernowitz is considered
by military experts as the key to the
Carpathians. Its capture by the Rus
SLAMS would compel the Teutons TO
abandon their positions near the Ru'
manian frontier.

EFFICIENCY THE SLOGAN
Training Youth the Most Important
Work in the World

Efficiency is the slogan of the bust
ness world, q ID the efficiency expert
has become in great demand by big
business. A wonderful sign Of the
times is the Sunday School Institute
to be held in Bennington this week.
Although the first week il January
is commonly celebrated as the week
OF prayer the Protestant churches OF
the village are deVoting this entire
week to the cause OF religious educa-
ton. recognizing the supreme import
ance OF the training Of youth. All diff
ferences OF creed have been forgotten
all are united and have called on the
most expert help available to advise
them on their problems.
S5 per cent of church members
come from the Sunday school but only
IS per cent OF the Sunday school be-
come members OF the church. The
church loses Is per cent from its
most fruitful source or supply. A
clinginS to worn out methods, indif-
ference to and lack of recognition of
11iO Pi CSAcH4 at ilill-tl ulIu lLS WOlQHF-
ful opportunities and failure to meet
new conditions with new ideas has
brought about an intolerable situa-
rinn. Live churches ali over the Unit
ed States are recognizing It and Ben
nineton's are among them.
The interest being shown in the
Sunday School Institute this week is
remarkable. The number enrolled al
ready is large and inclades many
from out Of town. This new spirit OF
open mindedness and search for tho
hest to he had will augur we'll for the
future training OF our young people.
Are you one who is willing to face a
big problem and help solve it, if so
enroll in the institute, preliminary

thieves failed 10 secure much money,
about two dollars being taken from
the cash drawer which had been left
to make change the following morn

The burglary was discovered by Mr..
Ware when he opened the store early
Monday morning. He at once noti-

picious characters but no clue to the
perpetrators has yet been discovered.
This is the second burglary on the
Ware property within year thieves

Then comes The last and happily
the least popular OF this family, the
gastrointes:inal form This is seldom
recognized by the layman as having
anything at all common with what he
considers the grip. 1t is heralded by
pains in the abdomen, nausea and all
the other symptoms usually connected
with intestinal trouble. Fortunately
this form, by virtue of the character
of its symptoms is not often neglect
ed and therefore counts only com

FAIR ELECTION LAVE"
THREAT TO DUST GOVERNOR

Oklahoma City April 2o.-The fair
election bill that was initiated by the
socialist party Of Oklahoma and filed
with the secretary Of state, as re-
quired by law, was expected BY Pat
rick Nagle Of Kingfsher, its author,
late socialist nominee for United
States senator, to be submitted by
Governor Williams at the August cleo
tion along with a number Of other
initiated and referred measures. The
impression has been general since
the recent legislature enacted law
that purports to give TO the governor
the power to defer submission Of in
itiated bills that the socialist fair cleo
ton bill will not be submitted at the
August election. Mr. Nagle today gave
out the following statement in refer
ence to this report:
In an article in a recent issue Of
weekly publication it is intimated by
Senator Barrett that the governor in
tends 70 set aside the constitutional
provisions, which require him to sub
nit the fair election law initiated
by the socialists TO a vote of the peO-
pie at the August primary erection,
which is the first election to be held
throughout the state
"The article further intimates that
the governor intends TO justify his
action by hiding behind the proyis-
ions Of legislative measure passed
by the recent extraordinary session.
This act Is a nullity, as it can not
change constitutional provisions.
1T is the plain wish of the people
TO vote on the fair election law at the
August primary. There may be no
way to force the governor to obey the
constitution. The courts can not man
damus him and the right OF recall can
not be used against him. But the
people are not entirely barred from
a remedy They can not recall the
governor, but they can abolish the Of
fee of governor and create the office
of chief executive through constitu
tional means, and thus remove Will
liams from office

cialists would be inclined to apply

No president in recent years has

Almost ever since he entered the

the country through trying situations,
