Germana and Russians are engaged 1
la ? mighty battle.KQUth ot Lodz, in
Russian Poland, and along a lue from
Glowno, northeast or Leds, to the Vis
tula river. The front extends for some
40 pr 60 miles and probably close to
half a million men are taking part in
the desperate' encounters which ' at
some pisces are at the ' bayonet's
point.
The Siberian troops are showing I
tireless-aggression, charging batteries
and moving swiftly up to haadHo-hand
fighting. Villages have been burned
and the countryside is reported stre'v ;
with the bodies of dead and wonn.'e? I
Losses have been great.
The new line, which .ne Germans!
are forming, after their attempt
against the Rtussian center, stretches I
from Kutno .on the north, to Cracow.!
on the south., Here another series of!
operations ls impending.
LONDON, Dec. 5.-There have been
no material changea in the positions j
of the belligerents on either the eas
tern or western fronts during the last
24 hours. Fighting has continued, bat
it would seem, sa though on j both
fronts ?he vast armies- trjeve been ?i
gaged largely tn*making preparations
for new battles.
. Here and- there heavy cannonading
or Infantry attacks have occurred,'all
of which, tuvsover, vere more in thc |
nature of feelers than a serious Se

reports, are forming a new imo. ex
tending roughly from Kutno, in the
north, to.Cracow, in the south. The'
right or southern wing of this army,
which rests on Cracow, ls commanded
by General Dankl. He is supported on
the north hy General Hetsendortr.

FINES SHOULD
BE ABOLISHED
The W??e Queet?on He? No Ma
terial Relation to a Girl's
- -Downfall.
. (By Associated Pres*.)
MADISON. Wis., Dec. 6.-Fifteen
months study.and investigation of the
Vice problem In Wisconsin by the leg
islativo anti-vice committee resulted
In radical proposals for law enforce
ment and better social conditions,
summarized In an exhaustive report
which was flied with the secretary of
state today.
The greatest cease of commercial
ised vice, the report says, ls the use
of Intoxicating ' liquor. Contributory
causes are public dance balls, road
bou?es, poorly lighted parks and pub
lic places, lack of responsibility by
parents, non-enfoi cement of laws by
public officials, lack of public amuse
ments end recreation facilities and
automobiles. Tho committee found
that tho wage question had no mater
ial, relation' to ? girl's'downfall.
i, . The committee recommends, among
other things :
That ? moirafs court be established
In cities o' the first, class with exclu
sive jurisdiction over all cases Involv
ing offenses.
Tbst a law similar to the Mann act.
applicable between cities, villages and
towns of the State, be enacted.
That a permanent State police de
partment -be established In this State
with power te Investigate .immoral
practices .and' that local communities
organise private associations to assist
officers in the enforcement of laws.
That the sale ot liquor be prohibited
within, or In connection with dance
halls.
That a liquor license may be auto
matically revoked upon a plea of guil
ty or conviction.
That all hotels, rooming and lodg
ing houses be required to secure licen
ses; that they .keep permanent regis
ters of the names of sll guests with
peiisiMea for using fictitious names.
That the pubiictt; of ownership be
established by requiring the names ot
owners on the front of all hotels and
rooming houses.
That ?he age of consent be raised
from 1'4 years in the case of any fe
male, and 18 years in the case of a te
mrl* of a previous chaste character,
to if and 21 respectively.
Tbiit an industrial home for women
be established equipped with hospital'
facilities for treatment of diseases,
women convicted di immoral.practices
to be committed thereto for treatment
and remaining.
That lb cities ot the first three class
es, special classes for subnormal chil
dren be established in the public
schools and that where necessary the
State furnish free textbooks, meals
and clothing to make compulsory ?du
cation effective.
" That social ' neighborhood centers
be developed la connection with the
school system. ' *
That municipalities provide super
vised amusements, particularly con
certs, moving picture shows, etc.
That employers of domestic servants
be required to furnish them with a
suitable room In which to receive com
pany.
That the number of hours of labor
for domestic servants be Axed by law.
Adequate Insurance against poverty,
"The man's part in the social evil,*'
say? the committee, "is despicable end
mean oaongh to merit the harshest
terms of reproach and disgust The
exploiter of the body and ?oui ol wo
man for money gain ts worthy to be
the lowest outcast In society. The
penalties for such exploitations must
be made most severe and must come
with abvolflte certainly naen convic
tion. The fine, system which la unjust
and worthless for both men and wo
men should be abolished; male offend
ers should be punished for contempt of

AMBASSADORS SAY ARIZO
NA'S EMPLOYMENT LAW IS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
BRYAN WOULD NOT
DISCUSS MATTER
Law Requires That 80 Per Cent
of Employ?? Be Citizens of
United States.
(By Aniodatrd Pms.)
WIA8HINGTON, Dec, 8.-?In the ab
sence of official advices,,, Secretary
Bryan tonight refused to comment on
a message from Governor Hunt an
nouncing bis decision to ponpohc tbs
proclamation of Arizona's nour anti
alien employment law, pending furth
er communication from the state de?
part ment. Formal protests against the
law were bilged today by the British
and Italian ambassadors and a mes
sage waa sent td Governor Hunt ask
lng if bo had authority to postpone ac
tion. Mr.. Bryan listened with ta ter
cet to the governors reply as carried
in Associated Presa dispatches, but
would not discuss the matter.
The department is act advised to
tho full ?rope of the lafr, but it is'
known it reqpires a minimum of 80
per cent: of the employes ot any per
son or -corporation in the State to be
citizens of the United Staten. Gover
nor Hunt also was asked to transmit
the full text of the law.
The British protest attacks the law
as In violation ot the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution of th?
United .states, which provides that no
State Bhafl "deny to any person with
in its Jurisdiction equal protection of
the laws." '
The lt allan pr?tent cites the com- .
merdai treaty between Italy and the
(United States, ratified In 1871, which
provides that citizens Of each nation
I resident in the other shall have. liberty
"to carry on trade,. wholesale and re
tail, to hire and occupy houses and
warehouses, to employ agents cf their
own choice and generally to do any
thing Incident or necessary for trade
lupon the 0ame terms as natives O' the
country, submitting themselves to the
laws there established/'
The nute presented by the. British,
ambassador sought Information as to
the exact status ot British residents In
Arizona under the law. It was stated
that British consuls there had sent
word that sulf a to test tho legality of
thc act were contemplated oy British
residents.
In reply the state department noti
fied both embassies it had taken steps
.o obtain complete Information aa to
fi? anti-alien act and expected soon
to be able to furnish the desired in
fo rn:allon. - As soon as the text ot
the Arizona law kv available lt will he
subject?, d to study by the department's
legal advisers, who will siso look up
court decisions based? on entfallen'en
actments of other States such as Cali
fornia, Oregon and New York.
PHOENIX, Aria, Dec. G.-Governor
