It is understood that tlie Anderson
campaign committee will institute tin
investigation of the election returns
from St. Michael and Unalakleet with
a view to contesting the election of
McGann. Prominent members of the
committee state that front tlie best in
formation obtainable tlie vote is nearly
double the amount expected from those
precincts. Should the charges of the
committee he substantiated it may re
sult in tlie throwing out of some eighty
votes. The Unalakleet precinct in the
election of Nov. 3 registered a total of
sixteen votes cast as against thirty
five in the present election while that
of St. Michael was two less that regis
tered in the present contest. The com
mittee claims that this hath a suspic
ious look, hence the contemplated in
vestigation.
Excellent is tlie. only word which will
adequately describe the performance
of “Down in Dixie" given by Nome's
amateur thespians Saturday night,
under the direction of Dr. Kittilsen and
Albert Cole. From tlie ringing up of
the etirtnin to the closing strains of
‘‘The Star Spangled Itanner" the per
formers displayed a quality of dramatio
ability seldom seen in this neck of the
woods and one anil all sustained their
characters in an almost flawless man
ner telling of painstaking care and
study of the really difficult roles.
Down in Dixie is of the type of drama
which amateurs seldom attempt .and
the manner of rendition Saturday night
betokened long and careful training.
Space forbids the individual mention
ing which we feel is justly due hut it i.s
no exaggeration to say that one and
all were good—exceedingly good.

WAR SUMMARY
FUR PAST WEEK'
—
Compiled from the dispatches re
ceived during the week ending Feb
-uary 27, 1915.
With the development of the Ger
man submarine blockade nf the British
coast and the allied attack on the Dar
danelles the attention of the war cor
respondents has been largely directed
in the situation on the sea with a con
sequent lessening of the reports con
cerning the land fighting, especially In
the west. The week has been marked
by the cessation of the Oermnn often- j
slve in Western Russia after terrific
fighting near and below the Nieman
river Apparently the German offen
sive north of Augustowa spent Itself
and was later ahanodned because of a
renewal of the Russian offensive
against the weakened German lines
west of Warsaw. The Russian offen
sive apparently centered against Block
as mid-week reports indicate terrific 1
fighting along tlie Vistula, east of that |
city with steady Russian gains re i
ported dnili \ German offensive north
of the Vistula centered on (lie city of
Prznsnyz. tlie Germans early claiming
the capture of the city The report ^
was later denied but the Gerrrmn claim '
Is affirmed by the dispatches received j
today Terrific fighting has undoubted- |
lv taken place in that vicinity with tin
favor largely on the side of the Oer
mans
Russian successes are reported along
the Itzura and the Germans were re
ported decisively beaten iti a fierce nr
tillery battle at Ossnwire. Terrible
fighting was also Indicated near Block
with almost daily reports of Russian
successes. The latest reports from
German sources admitted that the Ger
man lines had beer, forced hack upon
the city which is evidently being
actively beselged at the present time.
t'onsiderable fighting has also taken
place north of I.ndz, and the Germans
are reported to have Inst heavily along
t in Rawka river. Apparently almost
continuous fighting has taken place
along a line commencing at Augustowa
and running southwest through Przn
siiyz. Block. T.odz and thence south
east to the region near Ossowiee.
Fighting continued in Galicia with
general Austrian successes during t ie
early part nf the week but the situa
tion was latterly reversed by Russia i
successes at Stanislaus and along the
D- njek, west of Tarnow, tlie Russians
making considerable advances at both
Places. The Russian army lately re
treating from Buknwina was also re
ported to have again assumed tlie of
fensive and reentered that province,
capturing tlie important city of Sada
gora. north of Czernowltz. The last
accounts, confirmed by Vienna dis
patches, indicate a general renewal of
tlie Russian offensive throughout tlie
entire Galician province. The most
marked feature of the week lies in the
apparent cutting of tlie Austrian forces
into two sections north and south of
Stanislaus.
The Servian campaign was renewed
by the Austrians and at last accounts
Belgrade was being fiercely bombarded.
The favor, in general, seems to lie
credited to the Austrian arms although
they are again on tlie defensive in
Galicia.
Fighting of a desultory nature has
continued at all important points along
the western front with the results
credited almost entirely to the allied
forces. German attacks have been fol
lowed by sharp counter attacks from
tlie allies which usually resulted in
distinct gains. Desperate fighting lias
taken place near Ypres and at Verdun:
in tlie Argonne and at several points
in the Vosges district. The German
bombardment of Reims continued
throughout the week and tlio city is
reported ns being slowly battered into
fragments. Few distinct gains are re
ported but it is indicated fiiat the Ger
mans have been forced back a few
miles along practically the whole west
tern line. The allied reports credit
the capture of many troops and large
quantities of munitions of war. Tlie
losses of both sides have undoubtedly
been very heavy.
The naval movements have been
greatly extended through tlie week
and tlie Germans have met with con
siderable success in the English block
ade, nearly a dozen vessels being tor
pedoed in British waters, including two
transports said to have had a consider
able number of troops aboard,
February 2fi marked (lie beginning
of a. determined attempt of the allies
to force the Dardanelles, resulting in
tlie allied squadron penetrating almost
to the Sea of Marmora and with all
indications pointing to an early con
quest of tlie Turkish capital.
Minor activities include the attack
of Calais by a German Zeppelin, an
aeroplane attack on Braintree, Eng
land, and the dostruetloh of the Oer
