ALL AUSTRIANS CALLED OUT
VIENNA, Nov. 9.—The Russians are now advanc
ing rapidly on Cracow and the crisis is believed to be at
hand for this nation. The military authorities of this em
pire are now calling every available man to the colois and
will put forth every effort to stem the Russian tide be
for it can pass the great fortress which protects the en
try from Galicia through the comparatively flat country
lying between the Carpathian mountains and German
territory. When all the men that have now been summon
ed are at the front and are added to the other Austrian
forces as well as to the Germans and Russians it is estim
ated that about seven million men will face each other in
that field.
CHOLERA SPREADING
The cholera epidemic is spreading all over Austria
and Hungary and is creating the greatest uneasiness.
Every effort possible is being made to stop its ravages but
so far they have succeeded only in making the spread less
rapid. The disease is particularly prevalent in the army
where there is experienced much greater difficulty in
fighting it.
RUSSIA SEES TRIUMPH
PETROGRAD, Nov. 9.—The victorious advance of
the Russian armies towards the eastern borders of Ger
many has been hailed here as the beginning of the great
raid on German territory. The people celebrated here the
news of the retreat of the enemy from Warsaw by great
processions and the enthusiasm has been increased by the
information that the tables have been turned completely.
It is stated that five million men are now under arms in
the empire and that many more can be secured if neces
sary. The Russian forces m Caucasus are also strong and
will have no difficulty in smashing the Turks. No news has
been received from the Black Sea but the Russian war
ships are known to be preparing and that an advance on
Tzargrad will soon commence.
FRANCE CUTS OUT ABSINTHE
PARIS, Nov. 9.—The permanent prohibition of the
sale or use of absinthe has now come into effect all over
the French republic. In addition to absinthe all kindred
alcoholic liquors are also prohibited. In the beginning of
the war the government prohibited temporarily the sale of
absinthe but this prohibition has had such splendid results
that the ruling has been made permanent. The people of
this city have now nearly settled down to their former
mode of living. Several theaters have reopened and the
boulevards have large crowds once more, although not as
large as they were before the declaration of war. Should
the Germans be compelled to fall back further this week
the greater portion of the exiled population is expected
to return. The government will probably return before
the date named, the twentieth, in that event. The excite
ment has almost completely died away and all seem to be
confident that the danger \o the capital no longer exists.
GERMANS PREPARE FOR WINTER
BERLIN, Nov. 9.—Germany is now making enor
mous preparations for a long winter campaign. They are
purchasing all the tents to be found in the empire and are
manufacturing more as fast as the factories can work.
They are also securing immense quantities of sleighs and
are supplying fur outfits for every man in the entire army.
For these purposes alone thousands on thousands of men
are employed all over the country and that the German
government believes that much campaigning will be done
during the winter in the colder portions of the war theater
is made evident.

RUSSIANS PENETRATE GERMANY
PETROGRAD, Nov. 9.—The Russian penetration of
German territory in the middle east has taken place at
Pleschen, Prussia, a few miles northwest of Kalisz upon
which point the Germans appear to be withdrawing. This
advance threatens the German line of communication and
the predicament of the enemy seems to be very grave in
deed. Along the south Polish frontier the Russians have
attacked the Austrian rear guard at Pinczov which com
mands an important crossing on the upper Vistula twenty
live miles from Cracow. That the Austrians are retreat
ing on Cracow as a new base is now apparent. The line
of the enemy will then run from Thorn to Cracow and on
to Przemysl. The center of that line is now near the river;
Prosna. In the line of the Russian march into interior
Germany is the fortress of Posen. There is also some dif-;
ficultv because of the fact that across East Prussia, in a |
line with the present German army front to the north, are
four great fortress along the \ istula. It is possible that
these fortresses must be taken or masked to make the Rus
sian advance safe.
TOBACCO IS SAFE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—The British government has
assurtd the United States that the shipment of tobacco
in any neutral vessels from this country to any country
in Europe will not be interfered with. The British am
bassador states in this respect that his government only
desires to prevent the shipment of food stuffs or any
articles that would be of aid to the Germans or Austrians.
BRITAIN MAKES ARRANGEMENT
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—The British ambassador
has informed the state department that an arrangement
has been made between Great Britain and Norway, Swe
den and Denmark providing that goods for neutral con
sumption only will pass freely into the countries if con
fined to special persons with certificates guaranteeing
that the goods will not be re-exported. Some little irrta
tion has been caused here by the whole affair connected
with prevention of free trade in stuffs that could hardly
be called contraband of war.
NOTHING ABOUT NAVAL FIGHT
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9—No further news has
been received about the naval battle which was said to be
proceeding off the coast of Peru some days ago. Since the
fight off the coast of Chile nothing more was received up
to this morning. It has now been learned here that Jap
anese warships are steaming in large numbers towards
this coast and that several naval battles may be looked
for is Sure.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIII!III!IIIIIIIIIIIII
A local man who has made a study
, of coal and the cost of producing it
in Pennsylvania says that it is mined
there for 30 or 35 cents a ton. It
costs about ten or fifteen cents to load
on the cars. Iron ore is hauled on
the great lakes for thirty cents a ton
for a thousand miles, and it is estim
; ated that coal is hauled on the rail
| roads outside for not more than fifty
cents a ton, so by these figures we
can make a fairly good guess at
what coal will cost here and along
the coast when the Matanuska fields
are opened.
