ALONG SAN i | i ANDVISTULA 1 Severe Battles Rag- ing Mast. WINTER SEASON OPENS Weather Promises Soon fo Play| an Important Role. London, Oct. 29.—Austro-German of- ficial reports from the eastern theater of the war indicate that severe battles are raging along the Vistula and San rivers, The Germans apparently are engaging numerically superior Rus- sian forces and the battle is attracting equal atention with the strugsle in France and Belgium. The bulletin issued by the Austrian war department says that the Aus- trians southwest of Ivangorod are combatting numerically superior forces of Russians. The weather promises soon to play an important role. The rigorous Rus- sian winter already has set in between Moscow and Warsaw and snow covers the ground near Minsk. The Russians aver that they are relentlessly follow- ing up the repulses of the Germans from Warsaw. Their cavalry is pushing rapidly westward from Lodz, which is occu- pied by the Russians, threatening the German lines of communications. The Germans, it is further contended, are having difficulty in-maintaining their prepared defensive lines around Ra- dom, to the sonth of Warsaw. Russians Outnumber Enemy. Vienna reports the situation in Cen- tral Gali is unchanged, and that to the southwest of Ivangorod the Ger- man-Austrian troops are opposed by superior forces. The statement adds that one Austrian army corps has tak- en 10,000 Russian prisoners. Unofficial advices received in Lon- don say the Russian left and the Rus- slan center in Galicia have not suc- ceeded In pushing the advantages they galned as was hoped for and, if the report is correct, it would indicate that the smashing of the German left wing in Poland was attained at the weakening of other parts of the Rus- sian line. The Russian position is believed to be strategically strong, however, and the check in Galicia may be only tem- porary. The Times correspondent at War- shw says the Russian occupation of llodz is extremely important, as it not only threatens the whole line of Ger- man communication but is a menace Lo the German left wing, which may fall back, thus weakening the Austrian position in Galicia. TOTAL DEAD IN MINE DISASTER FIFTY-ONE Royalton, Ill, Oct. 29.—Forty-seven bodies have been recovered from the mine of the Franklin Coal and Coke company, which was wrecked by a gas explosion. All but two or three of the miners who entered the work- ings have been accounted for and if these perished the death list will to- tal fifty or fifty-one. Only seven of the dead have been identified and most of the other bodies are mangled so badly that identification will be impossible. State Mine Inspectors Reed and Cartledge closed the morgues to the relatives of the dead to alleviate the hysteria among the women and chil- dren. They said they would not be- gin their investigation of the disas- ter until the last body had been re- moved, but the coroner started an in- quest. The injured, all suffering from gas poisoning, are in hospitals in a critical condition. Slain by Son as Burglar. Wheeling, W. Va.

Washington, Oct. 29.—President Wilson issued a proclamation desig- nating Nov. 26 as Thanksgiving day. The, president’s proclamation re- fers to the fact that the United States is at peace while the rest of the world is at war. It follows: “By the President of the United States of America—A Proclama- tion: “It has long been the honored cus- tom of our people to turn in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and - thanksgiving to Almighty God for his many- blessings and mercies to us as a nation. The year that is now drawing to a close since we last observed our day of national thanks- giving has been, while a year of dis- cipline because of the mighty forces of war and of change which have disturbed the world, also a year of special blessing for us. “It has been vouchsafed to us to remain at peace, with honor, and in some part to succor the suffering and supply the needs of those who are in want. We have been privileged by our peace and self-control in some de- sree to study the counsels and shape the hopes and purposes of a day of fear and distress. Our people have Jooked upon their own life as a na- tion with a deeper comprehension, a fuller realization of their responsi- bilities as well as of their blessings end a keener sense of the moral and practical significance of what their part among the nations of the world may come to be. Moved by Moral Stimulus. “The hurtful effects of foreign war in their own industrial and commer- cial affairs have made them feel the more fully and see the more clearly their mutual interdependence upon one another and has stirred them to a helpful co-operation such as they have seldom practiced before. They have been quickened by a great moral stimulation. Their unmistakable ar- dor for peace, their earnest pity and disinterested sympathy for those who are suffering, their readiness to help and to think of the needs of oth- ers has revealed them to themselves as well as to the world. “Our crops will feed all who need food; the self-possession of our peo- ple amidst the most serious ‘anxie- ties and difliculties and the steadi- ness and resourcefulness of our busi- ness men will serve other nations as well as our own. “The business of the country has been supplied with instrumentalities and the commerce of the world with new channels of trade and inter course. The Panama canal has been opened to the commerce of the na- tions. The two continents of Amer- ica have been bound in closer ties of friendship. New instrumentalities of international trade have been creat- ed which will be also new instrumen- talities of acquaintance, intercourse and mutual service. Never before have the people of the United States been so situated for their own ad- vantage or the advance of their neighbors or so equipped to serve themselves and mankind.” CABINET BUSY ON STUMP Only McAdoo and Gregory Fail to Take Field. Washington, Oct. 29.—With the ex- ception of Secretary McAdoo and At- torney General Gregory the members of President Wilson’s cabinet are in various parts of the country making speeches in the closing week of the campaign.

He scored both the other candidates heavily. “There are 172 brewers in this state and they exercise more influ- ence on the government than all the rest of us put together,” he said. “If we prohibitionists would stand by our good principles as they have stood by their base ones, the liquor traffic would be gone so long that only archaeologists would know about it.” FIGHT ON WIRIMUM WAGE Winona Manufacivrer Attacks nesota Enactment. £t Paul.

BEMIDJI MAY NOT BE GIVEN FISH HATCHERY. (Continued from Page 1.) The First Cold Water. Mr. Lycan devoted several-days to the circulating of a petition for sub- seriptions and soon had $230 prom- ised for the erection of the building.

But the promise was made that Bemidji would be given the - © AM-MTES D BALTe- D, hatchery for use next spring. “To Return Money.

(Continued from Page 1.j purpose of the government to carry vut its obligations, not only among the nations of the earth, but with the humblest citizen of our land. Two Important Results. Two important results have fol- iowed; thousands of people, largely of foreign birth, accustomed to send their savings abroad, are now patrons of our ppstal savings system; and en- ormous sums of actual cash have been released for commercial uses among our own people at a .time when the need for every available dollar is pressing. Growth Has Been Steady. The growth of postal savings in the United States has been steady and healthy and the system has filled an important gap between the tin-can depository and the factory paymas- ter. On July 1, when affairs were running smoothly here and abroad and the transmission of money across the Atlantic was safe and expeditious, there was approximately $43,000,000 of pastal savings standing to the credit of about 388,000 depositors. Since then over $10,000,000 of de- posits have been added and the num- action and many business men feel ' visited the proposed site of the hatch- | HERE 855 15 YOUR) WHEN \(ou STOP A B RUNNING-YOLLL [EED IT TO WA\.KON gl'ar of depositors has increased en- |crmously. This unprecedented gain i: the more striking when it is con- sidered that the net gain in the last three months is larger than the gain for the entire fiscal year 1914. Scores cl offices have done more postal sav- ings business since the war has been £oing on than was done by them dur- ing the prewious existence of the service. The increases are confimed 15 no special localities, but have been f2lt in every nook and corner of the country. New York City alone made a gain in ‘September of more than a riillion, while Brooklyn showed a rolatively big increase. Chicago re- ported a larger gain in the past three 2 110nths than for the previous twelve |r:0nths. More than 7,000 new ac- (>unts were opened during the per- i5d, bringing the number of deposit- «rs in that city up to over 21,000. Many New Problems. The unexpected increase in postal savings business has not only added creatly to the general administrative ties of the system, but has brought "p many new and interesting prob- 2ms which have called for the care- personal - consideration of Post- i1aster General Burleson and Gover- ror Dockery, Third Assistant Post- |master General. But their task has lLeen lightened somewhat by the promptness of depository banks in furnishing additional security to meet the abnormal deposits. A number Cf the very largest banks in the coun- iry, which have heretofore declined to qualify as depositories for postal ravings funds, are now among the cager applicants for them.

Whether the sweep of the Exposition’s 635 acres is viewed from the distant hills or from a nearer view, thia commanding edifice attracts early attention and admiration. The great dome is the largest hemispherical glass dome fn the world. It is 185 feet high and has a diameteref 152 feet: It is crowned by a mammoth basket. Surrounding this dome are the spires that give the Saracenic in- fiuence, and these are of a marble whiteness and surrounded by beautiful sculptured figures of young women.
