RUSSIANS MEET GREAT OBSTACLES^
__ * *
PETROGRAD, Nov. 21.—The advance of the Rus-|
sians into the Mazurian lakes region in East Prussia has
revealed that the whole country has been converted into
one gigantic fortress by the Germans Near Johhanesburg
and Arys particularly the defences are most formidable.,
They face east and south in a great semi-circle extending
a distance of ninety miles. The spaces between the lakes
are protected by elaborate barbed wire fences and earthen
redoubts. At intervals these defenses are protected by
mine fields and canals that are dug between the lakes
wherever possible connecting the lakes one with the other.
Behind the canals are great trenches from which an at
tempted passage of the artificial waterways could be op
posed easily. At Arys the Russians have been compelled
to storm concrete blockhouses and it is admitted that
these assaults have been accompanied with heavy losses.
These facts are responsible for the check to the Russian
troops in that part of the field. The enemy has unquestion
ably been well prepared and the advance in that quarter
can only succeed after frightful loss of life.

The greatest wastage in the war
has been in the motor vehicle line, j
Not only are the cars racked to pieces
by hard service, but large numbers
are destroyed by shell. British man
ufacturers have not the equipment to
supply this wastage.
Russia is not a manufacturing
country, and the factories of France
have been largely destroyed in the
north and in other parts are shut ■
down because of the lack of hands.

WHO WILL GET THK
JOB OF FULLER.
Speculation Rife as to Who Will Be
Judge in the Fourth Division.
Some of the papers in the territory
are already indulging in some specu
lation as to who will be appointed
judge at Fairbanks to fill the vacancy
created by the retirement of Judge
Fuller. Some papers have already
suggested that Bunnell will follow in
the footsteps of Jennings and step
from the hustings to the bench while
some local democrats seem to believe
that a certain federal official in this
division Will be promoted to be judge
ship. That Judge Fuller has resigned
seems to be certain . He has alway»
been known as a man who would be
most likely not to hold a position in
which he thought he was not welcome
and nothing could be more character
istic of him than his present resigna
tion Should an outsider be appointed
this time it will be regarded as a
most severe snub to Alaskan demo
eratsjudging by the statements now
coming in.
