Summary Of Outstanding Developments In News
 From Capitals and Fronts
By AsNocinted Press

Again the Teutonic allies have suffered reyerses-in the loss to tae Russians of a part of the village of Lodziany, in the Lomnica river region of Galicia; in the repulse of an attack by the Russians northeast of Kaluzs. and in the Cham pagne region Of France, where the French drove them from positions they had re- captured, inhicting heavy casualties on them.
 From Riga on the Baltic sea to the Rumanian frontier the Russian and Aus tro-Germans along the entire front are engaged in battle, but except in Ga1icia. where the Russians continue to develop their advantage or hold back thrusts of the Teutons little has yet become known concerning the operations.
 Not alone have the Russians in their drive in Galicla made considerable gains of terrain, but their captures of men, guns and material have peen enormous. From July 1 to July 13, according to a Russian communication, 36, 643 officers and men of the Teutonc armies have been made prisoner by General Brussiloff' S forces and 93 heavy and light guns. 2s trench mortars, 4o3 machine guns and 91 guns of other descriptions have been taken
 The Germans in Champagne have again attempted with large bodies of men to recapture positions taken from them re- gently near Mont Haut and the Teton. They were entirely repulsed near the Te- ton, suffering heavy casualties. On Mont Haut, during a night-long battle, their efforts, according to the French war of- flee, were momentarily successful in re- gaining nearly all the ground they had lost.
 Violent counter attacks launched by the French, however. succeeded in the return to General Petain's forces of all the German gains.

Liberty Loan Activities.

A conference was held in Washington
during the week beginning December TO-
which lasted several days. between Secre-
tary McAdoo and other Treasury officials
and representatives from Liberty Loan
organizations all over the country, which
included officials of the Federal Reserve
Banks.
Plans for future Liberty Loan campaigns
were perfected and an organization at once
wider and closer was arranged for. Rural
communities and small towns and small
cities particularly will feel the effect Of
the new campaign plans.
Failure Of rural communities to subscribe
relatively as literally as the metropolitan
districts was generally ascribed not to lack
Of patriotism but lack Of thorough oreani-
zation and intensive campaigning. In the
future campaigns every agency will be
used in the rural districts as well as in the
cities. The women's organizations will be
very active and hearty cooperation between
them and the other organizations is as
sured.
Educational work in the schools of the
country is to be stressed, and through the
schools generally. therefore. educational
campaigns are to be carried on all over the
country not only during the Liberty Loan
campaign, but in the intervals between.
Enthusiasm, patriotism and earnestness
characterized the conference, which was
composed Of approximately one hundred
delegates representing every Federal Re-
serve district and most OF the States.

Navy Enlistments.

The Bureau of Navigation has notified
the Navy recruiting authorities throughout
the country that men registered in the
Selective Draft may still enlist in the
naval service upon presentation to the
recruiting officer Of a certificate from the
local board to the effect that the class and
order number of the applicant are SO low
that he is not within the current quota of
the local board"
10 expedite the enlistment of such men
Lieut. M. A. Leahy. navy recruiting officer
Tor the Maryland district, has prepared the
necessary forms for such certification and
these can be obtained from the main re-
cruiting station in Baltimore or from the
substations at Cumberland and Haeers-
town.
A rumor has been circulated that De-
cember 18th was the last day men of the
draft age could volunteer in the military
service and this erroneous impression has
caused decrease in the number of navy
enlistments. The Bureau of Navigation
has instructed the recruiting authorities
to make special efforts to dispel this mis-
take
All that is necessary is to have the ap-
plicant's local board certify that his class
and order number do not bring him within
the boards current quota.
Full particulars Of navy enlistments can
be obtained from the nearest postmaster
directly from the navy recruiting station
Calvert and Lexington streets. Baltimore
or from the navy recruiting substations al

By Air Route To Paris.

Air routes from Washington to Paris,
over which huge Caproni planes would
carry dispatches, reports and other mat
tiers between the President and General
Pershins, are possibilities of the near
future, according to an article written by
Capt. Caproni and published in the current
issue of Flying.
The routes. as mapped out by Caproni,
would be from Washington to New York
thence to St. Johns, Newfoundland: thence
across the Atlantic, to the Azores: thence
either to Lisbon. Portugal, or direct to
Paris.
The first leg Of the route is 200 miles
From New York to St. Johns is LOO
miles. From that point to the Azores is
LBS. To Lisbon is $50 miles, and from
there to Paris is S75 miles. Direct from
the Azores to Paris without travelling via
Lisbon is 1900 miles. All distances are
given in round figures and on air line,
between points.
According to Capt. Caproni's figures thu
trip from Paris to Washington or vic,
versa would be made in about 48 hours
using six Caproni planes in relays, will
one plane in reserve. Capt. Caproni in hi
article expresses the conviction that tn,
proposed air route can be in operation il
few months. surely by next summer.

The Prince Georges county bone dry law

special session Of the General Assem- bly,
this year will remain on the statute book s,

which was prepared by Judge N. Charles
Burke. upholds the constitutionality Of the
Act. thus reversing the ruling Of Judge B.
Harris Camalier, rendered in the Circuit
Court for St. Mary's county where the issue
was first brought to trial. The constitu-
