THE SPECTACLE OF A LIFE TIME. AN EDUCATION WITHIN ITSELF. European War Has Not Altered the Great Exposition The Panama-Pacific International Exposition, which occupies over two miles of water front along the Golden Gate at San Francisco, was 98 per cent, completed early in Decem- ber. With the 60,000 exhibits which will crowd its huge and artistic palaces and which were being installed at that time from forty-two different nations and forty-three states of the Union it represented an outlay of more than $50,000,000. There will be exhibits from every one of the warring European and Asiatic nations, with the exception of Belgium. Many of these are already en hand or are on the way. The European war has caused no change in the plans of the Exposition. It will open as planned, ready to the minute in every detail, on February 20, 1915. Not one of the forty-two foreign-nationas which had agreed to participate has withdrawn. Five have in creased their appropriations. Not only will the war not harm the Exposition, but, on the contrary, all transporta tion authorities are confident in the prediction that the war will, vastly increase the attend ance over what it would have been normally. It will divert hundreds of thousands of tour ists and pleasure seekers, in both North and South America, away from Europe to the wonderland of California and for side trips to the south and west generally. The success of the Exposition is absolutely assured. ’ LOOK FOR DECISION RUSSIANS AFFEAI T9 EXPECT RESULTS NSKTB OFTISTULA GERMAN’S CHANGE PUNS RomAans Say They Have Transported Forces to the South—Army Before Warsaw Is Fifty Miles Farther West Than Northern Army of Rus sians. London reports: "In Poland de cisive results are lacking, bht there are expectations that Russia’s new offensive north of the lower Vistula will bring a change In the character of the operations. It is believed it certainly will tax Germany’s re sources at the moment when she is called upon to send adltional troops to assist In opposing Russia’s threat ened invasion of Hungary and the menace arising from the possibility of Roumania taking a hand in the war. "The Russian and German forces west of Warsaw have settled down in their entrenched positions and the battle line has become fixed almost as rigidly as' In the west. In the north, however, the Russians are ad vancing toward the Prussian border, apparently having dispatched a large ^nny for the movement.

"A complete change in the eastern campaign, such as would mark a new period of the war, is expected by Rus sian general stag afficers. They say the German and Austrian military chiefs have abandoned aggressive movements against Warsaw and are concentrating troops in Hungary to repel the Russians in Bukowina, east ern Galicia and northern Hungary. In that section, rather than on the Warsaw front. Is the heavy fighting of the Immediate future expected in Petrograd." London erports: "A remarkable situation has arisen in Poland. Rus sian troops north of the lower Vistula are now fifty miles farther west than the Germans in the direction of War saw; so that a successful crossing of the .Vustula woul(^ make a flank at tack by either army possible. The Germans are keeping careful guard over a possible passage of the river above Plock, evidently for this rea son. but the Russian objective ap pears to lie to the north rather than to the south. According to Russian statements strong Austrian forces already have been encountered, and there Is a sug gestion that the Russians are expect ed to meet with serious opposition be fore long. Th6 attacks In front of Warsaw have grown less frequent and apparently aro not being pushed with the determination as previously. In the Carpathians the armies, are snow-bound." * " Bertln reports: "No changes took place in East Prussia or In northern Poland on Saturday. Our attacks on the branch of the river Sucha at Bor- zimow were successful. The enemy's attacks were repulsed with heavy losses tl the Russians.

Our well built infantry posi tions extend to the palace grounds of Gorlice.” Petrograd reports a German at tempt "to oust Gen. Ivanooff’s armies from Bukowina, Northern Hungary and Eastern Galicia. It is believed the most severe fighting for a few weeks probably will occur in the south rather than in Central Poland, along the Warsaw front. "Russian officials say the Austrians have failed to stem the Russian in vasion and that the Germans, awak ened to the seriousness of the situa tion, have adopted tho new plan. The change is regarded as largely respon sible for the prolonged lull about Warsaw. "Russian authorities have received information that all railroad lines from Prussian Silesia through Hun gary to the Roumanian frontier and Bukowina have been closed to non- military traffic, while hundreds of trains carrying troops and munitions have been forwarded from Germany. "Russian officers say when war be gan the Germans believed the Rus sians would direct all their efforts to ward the western frontier and that consequently Bukowina and the Car pathian pajsses were left insufficient ly defended. The Russians profited from the situation, driving the Aus trians from the Russian province of Volhynia and from Eastern Poland and pursuing them Into the plains of Northern Hungary. , "In central Poland, it Is said, the Russians attempted nothing more than to straighf&n their linos along the Vistula, Beura and Dunajec, but they continue an offensive movement* northwest of Warsaw.

The proclamation follows: "The State of South Carolina—By His Excellency, Richard I. Manning, Governor and Commander-In-Chief in Roumania, should she decide to enter the war.” . Vienna reports "that the, Austrian artillery fire compelled the Russians to evacuate some trenches south of Tarnow, Galicia. “Correspondents of the Vienna pa pers telegraph from the front that the Russian attempt to outflank the Aus trian right wing in southern Buko wina has been frustrated and that tloo the jlgMjaj Una ogfeatfe frnm Reseiene have been thrown back near Ktrllbaba.
