] { KEEPING ~ GERMANS ENGAGED lies Prevent Relief Gning_ttl East, BERLIN SAYS THAT PURSUIT CONTINUES Austria Also Declares That Rus- sians Are Hefirin_lg. Isondon, Dec. 21.—The co-ordination of military movements in the eastern and western theaters, which has been observed since the beginning of the war, is now shown in a striking way in the offensive movement of the al- lies in Flanders and Northern France, where they are keeping the Germans engaged and preventing them from sending further reinforcements to the eastern area of war. The allies de- clare they have gained in Flanders and France during the past few days, asserting their advances counterbal- ance German advances in Poland. Progress of the allies in the vicinity of La Bassee, where the Germans had clung tenaciously to their positions for so many weeks, is regarded in London as particularly noteworthy, as the German spearpoint in La Bas- see region had presented an irritating problem. The advance of the allies thus far has been slow, but British military critics expect it to gain im- petus. Doubt German Victory. British and French military writers gay that the doubts expressed by them of the correctness of the_German an- nouncement that a historic victory had been won over the Russian hosts in Poland are borne out by the ap- parent lessening “of enthusiasm ‘in Berlin, where the atmosphere during ihe past two days was surcharged with exuberant rejoicing. The official statement given out in Berlin, however, declares that “in Po- land the pursuit of the enemy con- tinues,” and the Austrian official state- ment asserts, “the beaten Russians are being pursued on the entire front from Krosno, Galicia, to the mouth of Ivt'he Bzura river, in Poland.” The Austrian statement adds that advances of the Teutonic forces in Southern Poland have been made without ‘important fighting and speaks of the storming of Piotrkow and Frzedborz, south and southeast of Lodz. 'If the Austrian staténfent is correct the Teutonic forces have made material advances in Southern Poland. Report: Lodz Evacuated. The Berlin statement says -that on the East Prussian front a Russian cavalry attack to the west of Pillkalen was repulsed. The statement, how- ever, does not mention the situation in the Mlawa region and belief pre- vails in London that German reverses there have interfered. with the oper- ations of the Germans along the Vis- tula river to the south. It is asserted unofficially at Petrograd that the Ger- mans have evacuated Lodz, but this is not confirmed. London papers have received the report that the allies have captured Roulers, in one of the most furiously contested regions of Flanders. Like the rumored capture of Westende this report lacks confirmation. About all that is known definitely of the sit- uation in the west is that the allies are exerting steady pressure on the German line, and, while advancing in some localities, have suffered ad- verses elsewhere. The French say there has been spirited German rifie fire in the Vos- ges, but no attacks. On the heights of the Mense the French claim they demolished two heavy German bat- teries.

The kaiser has consented, however, to one ex- ception being made to this iron rule. His only daughter, Princess Victoria Louige, wife of the Duke of Bruns. wick, has, it is stated, been allowed to give her opinion on Von Bern: hardt’s plan of operations, which the kaiser has adopted. This special con- cession is due to the emperor’s re: spect for his daughter’s grasp of mili- tary issues.

WANT $12,000 YEARLY. Forestry Board Will Ask Legislatiorn for Itasca Park. The state forestry l;oard. meeting at the capitol Friday, adopted the recommendation of William T. Cox, | state forester, and will ask the legis-! lature for an appropriation of $12,- 000 a year for Itasca Park. The present appropriation is $5,000. Mr. Cox said the money is needed to build roads in the park, protect game and for better fire protection. The board went on record as favoring a soil survey by some organization not con- nected with the forestry department. State aid to stimulate planting of wood lots and tree planting also wilt be asked cof the legislature. ‘‘There seems to be an impression in some quarters,” said Mr. Cox, ‘‘that the service has gone beyond its proper field of activity to further the cause of forest amendments. As a matter of fact, the forest service has taken advantage of a favorable opportunity to carry on its educational work at a time when the Minnesota Forestry association was boosting for Amend- ment No. 9.” Ralph A.
