Two big battles are being fought In Poland and a third conflict of vast Importance continues In East Prussia. Of the three battles 'the one now e.t Ita height between the Vistula and Warthe rivers Is exciting the greatest Interest. Decisive Battle. The Germans, it Is believed, have brought up by their line of strategic railways in Posen and Silesia at least 600,000 men to reinforce General von Hlndenburg in an eftort to break the Ruselan line at this point. Weather conditions, the frozen ground and the situation of the bat tlefield favor a really decisive battle to a degree which has not existed on any other field of the present war. The other battle In Poland is tak i. i Oarow-Czenstochowa front, and both the Russians and the Germans eny It is proceeding oaus factorlly for them. t Voof Prima In the Russian ad vanoe Is moving slowly through the country surrounding the Mazurlan Ukes, which is difficult of passage.

The Germans have again taken the Western part of the village of Chau voncourt, on the west bank of the Meuso. For the time being this region Is a centre of interest. The French are making desperate efforts to close the!r lines east of St. Mlhlel and thereby cut off a large German force. The Germans are trying as desperately to keep open the only breach they have i i ih lmrripr of fortresses. The operations to the north and east are closely connected with the fighting around St. Mlhlel. The Ger mans In the Argonne are attempting ' to break the French line, which bars their connexion with the German line on the heights of the left bank of the Meuso, and three attacks deliv ered by them were repulsed.

Ottoman Empire Offers Right Naturalization To Russians. Now York. The Turkish Govern ment has assured the State Depart ment at Washington that it will not expel RusMan Jews residing in the Ottoman Empire, but will permit them in hpcnni naturalized Turkish sub jects en bloc, it was announced, here hv the American Jewish Commission. The committee stated that 6,000 Jews in .TiifTn alone have already applied fnr nermlsslon to take advantage of this decision. More than 25,000 Rus sian Jews are residents of the Pal estine region alone, it was said Petrograd, Russia. There Is prohibi tion in Russia today prohibition which means that not a drop of vodka, whisky, brandy, sin or any other strong liquor is obtainable from one end to the other of a territory popu lated by 150,000,000 people and cover ing one-sixth of the habitable globe. The story of how strong drink has been utterly banished from the Rus sian Empire was told by Michael Dcmltrovltch Tchelisheff, the man di rectly responsible for putting an end to Russia's great vice, the vodka habit. It should be said in the beginning that the word prohibition In Russia must be taken literally. Its use does not imply a partially successful at tempt to curtail the consumption ot liquor, resulting in drinking In secret places, tho abuse of medical licenses and general evasion and subterfuge. It does mean that a vaBt population who consumed $1,000,000,000 worth of vodka a year, whose ordinary condition has been described by Russians them selves as ranging from a slight degree of stimulation upward, has been lifted almost in one day from a drunken Inertia to sobriety. The nation has been compelled, virtually over night, to abandon Its enormous dally consump tion of vodka, a liquor that i1" almost pure alcohol, and become abstemious to the extent of letting no liquor pass Its lips. On that day when the mobilization of the KiiHsInn Army began special po licemen visited every public place where vokda is sold, locked up the supply of the liquor and placed on the shop the Imperial seal. Since the manufacture and sale of vokda Is a government monopoly In Russia, it Is not a difficult thing to enforce prohibition. From tho day this step was taken drunkenness vanished in Russia. The results are seen at once In the peas antry: already they are beginning to look like a different race. This miracle has been virtually ac complished by one man. He Is Michael D. Tchelisheff, a peasant, by birth, originally a- house painter by profes sion, then mayor of the city of Samara, and now a millionaire. KAISER TO RETURN TO BERLIN.

C Declaring It would be Impossible to defend the Pan ama Canal and American territorial possessions against attack with pres ent or proposed garrisons unless they could be rapidly reinforced, Major General Wotherspoon, retired Chief of Staff, in his report commended the In crease of the regular Army to a streneth of 205.000 enlisted men. He proposed that that force be augment ed, through a system of reserves, un til there was created a mobile strength of 600,000 first line troops equipped for a six months' campaign. General WothersDoon said there was need for more forces to protect rear approaches to American coast defenses and those DOlnts not covered by tort resses. and urged that the organized militia be developed to a strength of 300.000 men. "It is manifest," Oeneral Wother- suoon asserted, "that the great water way ot tho Fanama Canal cannot be protected against the operations of a first-class military power by the pres ent or proposed garrison we conten' plate placing there without the power and ability to reinforce it rapidly from the United States. "That an effective defense against an enterprising enemy in the Thilip Dines could be made with a deficiency of 33 per cent, of the manning details of the coast defenses of Manila and Subig Bay, and with a mobile force of a little over 7,000 American troops, supplemented by less than 6,000 Pbll innine Scouts, is manifestly ImposHl ble: that we can retain our valuable territory of Alaska In its Isolated po sition against an enemy with any mil itary power by placing there a gar rison of less than 500 men verges on the ridiculous, unless we have ample forces at homo to occupy that terri tory In tho very earliest stages of an Impending conflict. As regards the Hawaiian Islands, all military persons will recognize that the proposed gar rison In this possession is far below what it should be to meet a serious attack."

From American Consul Silllman came a dispatch saying concuuona were far more serious in Mexico City than they had been since the parleys for peace began. He regards actual hostilities as inevitable, though some nf thn ennerals are Still trying to patch up the differences that have arisen. General Carranza, according to messages from Mr. Silllman ami Leon Canova, special agent at Aguas Callentes, has declared that be haa been misunderstood that he never Intended to deliver the executive pow er except to Gen. Pablo Gonzales or some other man of his own selection and in whom he had entire conDdence. Although there has been no definite advice, it was believed by officials that General Gutierrez, chosen provi sional president by the convention at Aguas Callentes, had ordered a gen eral attack on Carranza garrisons. Gutierrez controls practically all of the northern balf of Mexico, and oeneral Villa's advance guard is within 200 miles of the Mexican capital. General Carbajal Killed.
