GERMANS LOSE HEAVILY
In "a Hours of Fighting of the Kais-
er's Troops are Taken Prisoners

PETROGRAD - Russia's first Of
fensive under the new regime Is con-
tinuing vigorously today. The war
office issued a statement telling of
artillery activity of great intensity in
Galicia. In the last "a hours of fight
ing 1854 Germans have been taken
prisoner on the Galician front.
Along a front Of 1912 miles in the
region of Brzezany, Galicia, Russian
troops have storned the German po-
sitions. Berlin says the Russians suf-
fered heavy losses and were compelled
to retire before the German fire. The
attack was made in the section south
east of Lefberg, where the artillery
firing has been heavy recently.
The Russians also made night at
tacks on both sides of Brzezany and
near Swyzyn and Berlin reports as
saults between Zlota Lypa and the
Narayuvka. The artillery arm of the
Russian forces has been active and
from the Berlin report it is learned
that an intense duel has been in pro-
gress in the region of Brzezany to as
far northward az the middle Stokhod
in volyhynia, distance of about 175
miles. Brzezany is one of the keys
to Lemberg, the Galician capital.
The town of Keminkhy has been
captured it is officially stated. More
prisoners are coming back of the
lines hourly. Minister of War Keren-
sky formally called upon Premier
Lyoff informing him that the Russians
offensive had begun.
Just Beginning to Fight
WASHINGTON-The Russian attack
in Galicia is probably only the be-
ginning of a general offensive. The
state department said it was advised
some time ago that the Slav army WAS
being organized for general attack
beginning about July l.

A mistake of one little letter in
the court proceedings last week,
caused many people to wonder what
trouble Aaron Goodman, the well

ton against junk dealer named
Aaron Goldman, who bought car of
writ of attachment, and Gold man
came to time and settled for the junk
and the case was dismissed.

The story of The Girl He Could
MT Buy" which comes to the opera
house, Leon, on Saturday, Feb. 3rd,
concerns the experiences of many a
shop girl who is working at wage
of six dollars a week and trying to
live an honest and upright life. The
heroine, Hope Nelson, typifies what
a girl must do and suffer to escape
the prosecutions Of those human par
asites who prey on the lives of un-
protected girls and pose as men of
honesty and prominence in the eyes
of upper society. Hope Nelson is
the daughter of wealthy banker.
He is ruined by his partner Burnham.
He dies and Hope is left penniless
and nearly friendless. She starts at
the boarding house on the six dollars
a week wage she earns and Burnham
again enters her life as the tenlpter.
He bangles ease, wealth, luxury and
what he called happiness before her.
The girl spurns him and he becomes
desperate and tries to drive her into
the street. 1t is at this time Clancy
from headquarters who is after Joe
Maynard, crook, appears. With the
help of Clancy Hope regains her
stolen fortune from Burnham The
situations are tense, and interspersed
with pathos, while through it all
there is vein of comedy that is
unsurpassed.

Bean gave out information to
certain newspapers in Seattle and
Tacoma Friday that these nine
men, representing the sentiment
of all Tacoma strikers, had agreed
upon the settlement proposition.
When asked for the names of
the nine men, however, Bean re-
fused to give them.
Union men of all trades were
incensed at the reports given in
extra editions of Tacoma news
papers, saying that the strike was
ended. They said it was a plain
case of double-cross.
Demands were Immediately
made upon those newspapers that
retractions be published.
The false report was given out
by Bean strictly in an endeavor
to influence the conference set
for 9 o'clock Friday afternoon in
Seattle, the street car men said,
and was utterly untrue, and the
tw opapers simply played his
game"
Simply Untrue.
"There is absolutely no truth
to the report that the street car
mems strike is ended" declared r.
A. Morgan, vice president of the
union.
"Our committee left for Seattle
on the 8 o'clock boat to attend to-
days conference, and they did not
give out any report indicating that
a settlement had been reached.
