LONDON. Jan. 1-Battles of conslder
sble proportion are taking plan along
the two Ions front In eastern and In
western Europe.
The flKhtlns In Flandcra and northern
Kranre ha been confined largely to ar
tillery engagement, except near Bethune.
where tlx O.rnnni claim Uiey have
taken a Pr!t!sh trench. They admit,
however, the torn of St. Georces, near
the lielglan count, whlrh the official re
pert from Berlin saya It waa derldnd not
to attempt to retake, owing to tbe high
level of the water there.
(.ernian Make Progress.
la the Argnnne region, where the bat
tle haa been almost continuous for weeka,
It haa been the Ocrmang' turn to make
a little progress, as an offset to which,
however, the French declare they have
continued their advance In upper Alsace.
On the whole, the situation seem vir
tus lly to have reached a. position of
statement Neither aide baa teen able
to make nny groat Impression on their
antagonists line, and both being very
strongly entrenched, it is considered un
likely that either the Oermana or allies
will attempt another general offensive
until superiority In numbera la retained
by reinforcements.
Caa't Cross Rivers.
Much the same situation prevail! In
northern I'oland, where the Oermans are
reported to have found It Impossible to
get across the Bsura and Rawka rivers
and have boen equally unsuccessful In
advancing along the 1111c river. They
are raid to be digging themselves In,
preparatory to remaining until the hard
ening of the grouad by the frost makes
the movement of troops less difficult.
The growth of the Hrltlsh army la
shown by an army order Ismied tonight
constituting alx armlea of three corps
each. Thus, several grr.erala who com
manded army corps at tbe beginning of
the war now find themselves at the
heads of armies.
U. S. Note of Protest Called Most
Important Paper Since War Began
ROME. Jan. 2.-The newspaper Vita,
the organ of the Italian radicals, today
comments at considerable length on the
recent American note to Oreet Britain
on the subject of shipping.
"This is the most Important document
which haa appeared since the beglnnlnt
of the war." the paper says, "for tha ra
aon that It cornea from the greatest
power In the world not Involved In th
conflict. Neutrals nowadays must .he
In a position to enforce their rights. This
the United Ftatea ran do, for she haa
enormous Internets throughout the world,
and a formidable fleet.
"Fortunately," the paper . roes an.
"American Interests are Identical with
those of the entailer neutral powers.
These state can follow In the footsteps
of the ITnltnd States. Should the neutral
powers of Europe join hands, as hare
done the countries of Scandinavia, for
the protection of their maritime Interest,
their voice would be more convlncmg.
Experience shows that obeervano of the
rights of neutrality la contingent upon
the possession of material strength oh
the part of the neutral powers to enforce
their point of view." )
The Vita, expresses the hope that vthe
neutral states of Europe will take advan
tage of this opportunity to act together
with America, In Insisting that the rela
tions between neutrals and belligerent
be now settled on the broad hauls of all
neutrals to all belligerents. Otherwise,
the fatted States Individually wUI get
all the satisfaction, while the other
neutral powera would be worse off than
they ware before.
Taf Praises Wilson's Note. '
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2 -Former Presi
dent Taft here today praised the Amer
ican note to Great Britain on treatment
of American ship. He said he had read
the communication carefully and said he
believed It "waa Just light "
"Of course," he said, "I am not familiar
with the facts upon which the note waa
based, but It Impressed me as a proper
and Just communication. I think It was
admirably drawn."
British Bat restates Warned.
LONDON. Jan. 1 The board of trade
today notified the British merchant
marine that It la essential for the cap
tains of all British merchant ships al
ways to have on board their bills of lad
Ing sjid a manifest of the cargo. Neglect
to comply with these Instructions, It la
set forth, may result In merchant ahlps
being stopped and delayed by warships
of Oreat Britain or of the allied navies.
It Is anticipated that the production
of manifests will assist In the passage
of neutral cargoes without detention to
the ships.

If anybody Is still, at this late day.
seeking to know whether newspaper ad
vertising pays for public utility corpora
tions, let him ask those who have
tried It.
11. M. Bylleaby It Co. of Chicago, engi
neers and managers of public, utility
properties In some one hundred cities
and many states of tbe union, use news
paper advertising for the promotion of
their interests very eitennlvely. They
maintain a highly-developed publicity de
partment under the direct supervision of
a thoroughly trained man, with years ol
newspaper experience to begin with. This
man la William H. Hodge, for some year,
city hail reporter en The Bee, who lef
here In 1908 to become managing edltoi
of Pubilo Pcrvlce, Chicago, a technlca
magaslne dealing with all kinds of utljl
ties. From there he went to the Kyi
leshy company.
Through Mr. Hodge, II. M. Byllesb;
A Co. spend annually largo sums o
money for dally newspaper space all ova,
the country.
Does It payf
Here la his answer as published In th
Fourth Ustate:
We have entire confidence In the effl
cacy of newspaper advertising as an In:
portant aid in the aala of clectrio ligh
and power nnd gas.
VVa also have confidence In the valu
of newspaper advertising as a medlu
for conveying economic, truths regsnllti
our Industry to the public. The utlltl
properties under our management, wl. '
possibly one Or two exceptions, are cot
slstent and persistent commercial advc
Ueere In the local newspapera
Within the past year newspaper advei
tlBtng scored heavily in the auccess of
house-wiring campaign at Uiulsvlll .
where the commercial manager aecret
Ited It with developing at least 7S n
cent, of a large amount of business, rn
resenting an Investment upon the part o'
the puhllo of not less than 1100,000.
Newspaper advertising also counted
heavily In a auwesMful wiring campaign
at Minneapolis during the past year. It
la at present a large factor in the holiday
sales of electrlo household devices, of
which probably twice aa many will be
sold at the Hylleeby properties as dur
lr g any previous season.
Our faith In newspaper advertising for
the purposes mentioned is shown by the
fact that no departures from our regu
lar program are contemplated during the
coming year, unleaa the Improved condi
tions, which we hope for, make advisa
ble the use of sMllional space.
With respect to financial advertising,
we believe that newwpaper advertising
will play a much larger part In market
ing high-grade bonds and stocks than It
haa In the past In order to reach the
constantly growing number of small In
vestors. FAST TRAIN HITS BUGGY

Beit Way to Put Skidi Under
Liquor Traffic
UTTER READ AT T0PEKA MEET
Xebraskaa Says that la Matter of
Prohibition Essphasla ftaoetd
e Laid oa Contests la
the states.
TOPF.KA. Kan., Jan. t-Total ab
stlnence aa the surest way of overthrow
ing the liquor traffla was advocated by
William J. Bryan, secretary of state, In a
letter to Finn O. Borton. national sec
retary of the Intercollegiate Prohibition
association, read at tho closing session
of th convention of that organisation
-onlghU
Mr. Bryan further asserted, that those
"who want to abolish saloons will not
allow them to hide behind e -
of local self government when enough
states act favorably to make It likely
hat a national amendi.nent will be rati
fied.
Jit hla letter Mr. Bryan said:
"In the matter of prohibition, I think
thtt at preaont the emphasis should bo
laid on the contests of the states. In
some states th time la ripe for action.
and I think It la better to concentrate
the forces on the than to spread them
over tho entire union. However, this la
a matter of opinion and relates to th
policy of national action at this time
rather than to th principles Involved.
Growth ( aeatlmeat.
"Th strong vote polled in the bouse
. j ui, snows how rapidly
anilment Is growing against th saloon.
,i me oeoate over in a amendment, a
rest deal waa said about th doctrine
f 'local self government' It was In
jked against national prohibition. You
eed not worry about that Th liquor
itereats have no mors respect for local
i f government than they bav for
deral action."
Numbers of letters from leading men
i state and national life were read.
That of Morris Sheppard. United States
senator from Texas, asserted that "th
college men of the country have no higher
duty than that of Impressing on tbe
American people the necessity of abolish
ing th liquor traffic."
Predicts Relief.
Robert L. Owen. United states senator
from Oklahoma, predicted, "relief from
the evil effects of th liquor traffto If
th colleges throw themselves Into
the battle."
"The fact that congress refused to
place an additional tag on rectified
whiskey in the war tax measure ahowa
the grip tl liquor Interests still have
upon legislation," th letter of Dr. Har
vey W. Wiley said, "Th best way to
divorce the saloon from politics Is to
abolish saloons. Tha next best thing
would be to reform politics."
