London, Dec 9.The French offi cial report announces the Germans have made a violent attack upon the allies at St. Eloy, south of Ypres, which was repulsed. This may mean a renewal of the German attempt to batter through the allied lines, which the correspondents predicted from the movements of the Germans in Bel gium. Elsewhere in the west there have been only local engagements. The Austrian and Servian reports continue to claim success for their respective sides. The great battle for possession of Poland continues. The front extends along 300 miles and victory over a part of it at least appears to have fallen to the Germans, while the Rus sians are pressing upon Cracow in the south. Details of this mighty battle have yet to be written. The general fact that there has been fearful slaughter and intense suffering from the cold comprises about the total of the in formation received. The Germans claim they are pur suing the Russians to the south and southeast of Lodz. Several American correspondents were with the Rus sian army when the battle broke, but nothing has been heard from them for several days. Evidently they are un der the hand of a strict censorship British military experts insist that three-quarters of the best material of the German army has been held in the western theater of the war throughout the campaign and that the troops opposed to the Russians con sist chiefly of second line organiza tions GERMAN TROOPS AT CRACOW Are Assisting in Defense of Austrian Stronghold. Petrograd, Dec. 9.The Bourse Ga zette quotes "a high authority" as say ing that the defense of Cracow, the Galician stronghold now being attack ed by the Russians, has been stiffened by the addition of German troops to the garrison. "The German plan of using only German troops in the northern cam paign along the Vistula river and of sending all the Austrians to the de fense of Cracow has been changed," says this authority. "The need of re inforcements caused the Germans to withdraw Austrians from Cracow to Lodz. Hence the two armies are again mixed HOSPITALS ARE CROWDED Sixty Thousand Wounded Soldiers at Vienna.

Few more acrimonious addresses have been heard here in many years and Mr. Manahan declared that he knew what he was talking about and was responsible for what he said. The first day's session of the great gathering of grain men and farmers proved one of the banner days in the history of St. Paul. Business men realized the significance of the out pouring of farmers, many of whom had come nearly 1,000 miles to attend the meeting, and all felt that it meant the opening of new avenues of prog ress for St. Paul.

Turrittm, state superintendent of banks, called a conference of state bankers of Min nesota, to meet in St. Paul Dec 22, "to discuss matters of mutual inter est." The chief subject of the con ference will be the relation of the state banks, of which there are now 882, to the federal reserve bank. Some state banks have nationalized, explaining that it made it easier foi them to work with the federal reserve bank, though the federal law allows state banks to participate. The con ference will discuss how co-operation of state banks with the federal sys tem can be made easier. Other questions will be to what ex tent savings banks should have capital stock, if any, and to what extent building and loan associations should receive deposits and issue certificates of deposit MODERN CINDERELLA UPHELD Supreme Court Rules for Woman In jured at Oshkosh.

NO DISEASE IN MINNESOTA Live Stock Board Regards Danger as Having Passed. St. Paul, Dec. 9.Minnesota is en tirely free from any outbreak of the foot and mouth disease which has ravaged other states, according to a communication from Dr. S. H. Ward, secretary of the Minnesota live stocK sanitary board, to Governor A. O Eberhart, who asked for a formal statement. Dr. Ward writes that several ship ments of infected cattle went through the state on the way to Montana and Washington, but that by prompt quar antine and disinfection c? all exposed shipments no infection had resulted. "The board feels that all danger has passed," writes Mr. Ward, "and the importation of live stock from states free from Infection is permitted." BLISS GOES TO ARIZONA President Acts O Call for Aid, ALSO SENDS ARTILLERY Will Prevent Mexicans Firing Over Boundary Line. Washington, Dec. 9.President Wil son, after a brief discussion with his cabinet, directed Secretary Garrison to order sufficient troops to Naco, Ariz., to handle any emergencies that might arise there in connection with the firing across the American border from Mexican territory. Secretary Garrison later announced he had ordered Brigadier General Tasker H. Bliss, stationed at San Antonio, Tex., to start for Naco with three batteries of field artillery and "await further orders." The secretary declined to discuss what he termed as "the diplomatic side of the case," referring inquirers to the state department. The action followed the exchange of telegrams between the federal gov ernment and Governor Hunt of Ari zona, in which the latter described the firing from the Mexican factions across the line as a serious menace to residents of Arizona. Mexican Factions Warned. It is understood that ,when the tele grams from Governor Hunt were laid before the cabinet the president also directed Secretary Bryan to transmit a warning through American consuls to both Mexican factions fighting near the boundary that firing into Amer ican territory must be discontinued. While the outcome of such negotia tions as will be conducted through the state department is awaited the ar tillery and cavalry of the American army will stand guard ready to carry out any orders which may develop from the conferences with the Mexi can chiefs. Repeated warnings have been giv en to the two generals to so conduct their operations as to prevent bullets from falling on American territory. The ordering of field artillery to the scene, to co-operate with the Ninth cavalry, already in position at Naco, was generally interpreted as intended to demonstrate to the Mexican forces that serious consequences might fol low if the firing into American terri tory is continued. The sending of General Bliss to take general charge of the situation was regarded as denoting the antici pation of a delicate and critical situa tion, wherein the Washington govern ment deemed it advisable to have a high official to carry out such orders as might later be decided upon.
