GERMANS NORTHEAST OF WARSAW
PETROGRAD, March 6.—It is admitted in the official
communique today that the Germans are holding Os
sowetz and Augustowa near the East Prussian border but
to the northeast of Warsaw. This shows that the enemy
has advanced bevond the East Prussian eastern border
m
and has entered Russian territory in a new place from
which he may possibly try to advance in the attempt to
endanger the line of communication of the Russian gar
rison of the Polish capital but the Russian forces opposed
to the Germans in that region are strong enough to render
any such effort futile under normal conditions. To the
west of those places the Russians are advancing at a point
north of Przasnysz and at another point north of Plock
and their evident objective is Thorn which they have been
trying to reach for months without success. Indeed it is
candidly admitted that the repulse in East Prussia has
made necessary a falling back from the positions from
which our troops threatened Thorn previously. Further
south, to the southeast of Warsaw and close to that city,
the Russians have regained some of the country to the
east of Skiemiewicz but the enemy still occupies the last
named city and is making it a base for the central at
tacks on the Warsaw line of defence. A battle is now pro
gressing in East Galicia where the right wing of the Rus
sian Galician army is trying to capture the railroad
through the Szigeth pass and so cut the main line of the
Austrian communications.
BOTH CLAIM SUCCESS
LONDON, March G.—According to the official reports
from Berlin and Paris this morning both sides claim im
portant successes in the very same battle. The Paris re
port says that the French have gained successes on the
Lorraine border, in the department of Champagne, in the
Argonne district and around Perthes. The report from
Berlin states almost the direct opposite. It does not claim
an advance for the Germans but it claims that all the
French attacks at those points have been repulsed. Be
tween the two reports it is difficult to secure a reliable idea
of the conditions but it is probably true that all the en
gagements in the western field are unimportant and that
both sides are waiting for the spring to begin the real
campaign for the upper hand. From all accounts this
latter fact seems to be apparent. It is quite likely that the
staffs of both sides are now formulating plans for the vast
movements when the weather becomes favorable. To
wards the end of the present month fine weather may be
expected and only a few weeks may elapse when the most
frightful military operations of all time will begin. Both
sides know that ‘it will be a struggle to the death or ruin
of one or the other of the opposing alliances.

FROM CHURCH AND STATE
By JOHN IRELAND
(Archbishop at St. Paul, Minn.)
“I cannot understand why there
would be a single individual with uny
responsibility whatsover, who has
family, relatives or friends, who has
not an assurance upon his life. I hold
as benefactors of humanity and so
ciety those who do go around using
eloquence, poetry and persuasion and
everything else, and win them to go
out and assure their lives. I have
very little regard for any man who
leaves this world without having been
able to leave behind him a life as
surance policy, so that those depend
ent upon him are provided for; so
that any debts he himself may have
are paid, and, if he has not much of
an estate, so that he himself may be
buried in decency d*ul honor.”
By WINSTON CHURCHILL
(First Lord of British Admiralty)
“If I had my way, I would write
the word ‘insure’ over doors of every
cottage, and upon the blotting book
' of every public man, because I am
convinced that for sacrifices which are
inconceivably small, families can be
secured against catastrophies, which
otherwise wouftl smash them up for
ever. It is our duty to arrest the
ghastly waste not merely of human
happiness, but of national health and
strength which flows when, through
the death of the bread-winner, the
frail boat in which the fortunes of the
family are embarked, founders, and
the women and children are left to
struggle helplessly on the dark waters
of a friendless world."
The S in 1 policy of the NORTHERN LIFE provides for complete protec- |
tion against accident, sickness and death.

and to that end, ask that they furnish
us with a list of their property, that
they wish to rent and we will do all

property, we have numerous demands
for bith, and will be able to place
either for you in a short time.

look after the comfort of the new
