GERMANS MAKE STUBBORN
ATTACKS ON THE VISTULA,
SAYS PETROCRAD REPORT
Petrograd, Dec. 9 (Delayed In Trans
mission) —An official communication is
sued by the general staff to-night gives
the progress of the fighting in the
various fields. It says:
"In the region of Mlawa, on De
cember 8, the conflict assumed a less
tenacious character.
"On the left bank of the Vistula
on the eveniug of December 7, the Ger
mans under cover of darkness, sudden
ly began an offensive movement simul
taneously along the entire front from
How (West of Warsaw) to Glowno
(southwest of Warsaw). The move
ment was remarkable for its stubborn
nature. The attack was repeated again
and again, the Germans advancing iu
compact columns.
"Aided by searchlights, however,
our fire decimated the enemy who was
everywhere repulsed. With "the rising
of the moon attacks of the enemy
ceased.
"The next day the desperate fight
ing on the Liowicz-Ilow front was re
turned but without success for the
enemy.
"In the Piotrkow region the situ
ation is unchanged.
"The fighting south of Cracow has
continued tenaciously, presenting al
ternately offensive and defensive move
ments. The Germans twice attempted
to break through our fronts but were
repulsed with serious losses.
"Ou the Black sea on December 8
the whereabouts of the enemy's vessels
were not revealed."

Careful experiments and investigations have shown

ordinary methods of treatment and has provided a

'My tiose is now entirely clear and free and I am not
bothered by the disease any more. The New Combined
Treatment is worth its weight in gold."
Temporary relief from catarrh may be obtained in other
ways, but the New Combined Treatment must inevitably
be accepted for permanent results.

COMPARISON OF TONNACE
OF WORLD'S WARSHIPS NOT
TO BE MADE BY UNCLE SAHI
Washington, Dec. 10.—In order tliat
the United States may ■ observe strict
neutarlity in tho European war, the
Navy Department will not issue this
month the usual comparative statement
of the warship tonnage of the principal
uuval Powers of the world, hitherto is
sued in December and July of each
year. Instead of attempting to put out
a statement corrected to date tho in
telligence office of the department to
day reissued the statement of July,
when all of the nations now at war
were pursuing the paths of peace.
While the issuance by the United
States of a statement setting forth the
naval strength of the warring nations
might be improper in itself, it was also
pointed out that the changes wrought
in the various navies by destruction
of vessels on the one hand and pur
chase and completion of craft on the
other would make it quite impossible
to compile the necessary data.
Tho July statement, reissued to-day,
shows Great Britain at the head Of the
list with a tonnage of 2,157,850, while
the other nations, in the order of their
tonnage, are Germany, United States,
France, Japan, Italy, Russia and Aus
tria-Hungary. This statement shows
that with the completion of vessels
built and building July 1 the order
would be Great Britain, Germany,
Prance, United States, Japan, Bussia,
Italy, Austria-Hungary. This latter
calculation would place the United
States fourth instead of third among
the world naval Powers.
LONE VOTER AGAINST GERMAN
WAR LOAN EXPLAINS ACTION
Amsterdam, via London, Doe. 10,
7.51 A. M.—Dr. Karl Liebknecht, the
Socialist member of the Reichstag,
who was the only one bo vote against
the war credit at the recent session of
the Reichstag, explains his action in
an article just published in Berlin, lie
says:
"This war was not desired by any
of the peoples affected nor was it
kindled to promote the welfare of the
Germans or any other people. It was
created by the common action of the
German and Austrian war parties in
the obscurity of semi-absolutism and
secret diplomacy in order to anticipate
their adversaries. At the same time the
war is a Napoleonic attempt to unnerve
and crush the growing labor move
ment."

;l SEKKS \\" HIT AU A INST SMITH
: Pittsburgh Lawyer Want State Banks
j to Reveal Their Unclaimed Deposits
Application for a peremptory writ
lof mandamus whereby William H.
Smith, State Baulking Commissioner,
| would be required to compel banks of
! the State to publish annually, in De
cember, a statement showing unclaim
j ed deposits in their banks, was filed in
| the Dauphin county court yesterday.
The suit is unique in that it raises the
question whether the banking commis
sioner can be man dam ueed. Some law
yers sav he cannot.
The action was begun by Felming
j Kevin, a Pittsburgh attorney, and
\ counsel for Mary 0. Brackney, also <it
Pittsburgh, who says she is the sole
: legatee of her aunt, the late Katherine
j O'Donnell, and now is without means
' of ascertaining whether her aunt u. .
j money deposited in banks.
The suit was begun under the act
| of March ti, 1547, which directs banks
i to publish in the newspapers state
ments showing what unclaimed
j its are on hand. The banking commis
| sioner, it is said, refused to follow Mr.
Nevin's suggestion "to direct banks
to publish the statement," amd the
suit resulted. The court will fix a time
' for a hearing on the writ.
