THE WAR TIJ'IE
Germany is maintaining battle fronts
some 600 miles in length, and i:yery
yard of the line :means sacrifice and'.
means cost •Officers, men, horses,
gums supplies, clothing, equipments
and cash have to be provided with
a prodigal hand for every nile of
the ever-lenthening front -.while ,rto
success has yet been nerneved
responding to to the immensity .of the
.effort made, A million Germans kill-
ed and wounded; as many more down
with sickness, exhaustion and starva-
tion; foreign trade .paralized; '.tanks
robbed to provide loans; - shipping
idle; fa ctories silent; unemploy-
•ment inc.reaasing; and winter coming
on -how can the country stand the
straini
Contrary to quite general entici-
patians the war does not seem to
have disorganized British industry;
On the contrary in some respects
trade in that country has been ;tins.:.
elated by war. Cotton manufacturers
have been hard hit, but in many 'other
lines there is unueuaI activity, and
the general result is, as the West-
minster Gaxette says, that ih.e per-
centage of unemployed at the beginn
ing Gf j1o,•veznber was only 4.46 as
against 5.79 a. month earlier, • This.
however, is largely explained by the
tact that 1,000,000 men have been
withdrawn from die, field of labor for
'service in Kitahener's new- army. Tn
some trades, however, men are -ctu-
ally working night and day. The
leather and clothing manuifectureas
and allied trades are working night
.and day.
Remember that less than two years
ago the Canadian Liberal and Prussian.
junket press joined hands in rejoicing;
over the defeat of the naval` policy of
the Borden Government.
• Sir Adam Beck announcedthat a
reduction m power rates through the
entire Hydro Electric zone will go
into effect shortly, Between 60 and
20 municipalities will profit thereby-.
-Don't forget that Australia and Can-
-aria started seat together to build
nai:ies in 1909, and that the:: Austral -
;ails. had the Sydney (which suideethee
Ein1'en)about ready for launching be -
rare the Laurier Goveriunent had lel
centra t fol a single ship.
The sum of $1.150.000 was approp
riated by the government to meet the.
situation created by the crop -allures!
southwest Saskatchewan and south -
ere Alberta. One million dollars will
be spent an grain for the farmers who
suffered from the drought of last sum-
mer and $150,000 will go to provide
food for settlers and their live stock
an the affected districts.
rhe question is sometimes asked as
to the exact age are condition neces-
sary to transform a heifer into a :sow
This is really rather a •hard question
to answer with finality, but in a prize
list from the agricultural society at
'ohannesburg, South Africa, we find.
a definition. The prize list says,.
"The society definition of a heifer
for its show purposes is as folldwa;
°An animal (female bovine) shall re-
main a heifer until she attains the age
of three years or has a calf, which-
ever event first happens.'"

Reports From Great Rattle In l?oland
Are Conflicting and Final Issue
Bas Not Been Reached --Germans
Fighting Desperately to Extricate
Themselves F•onn Disastrous
Defeat..
LONDON, Dec, 1.—The fall of Cra-
cow ,may be expected at any time, ac-
cording to advices received here from
Petrograd. Since Saturday the Rus-
sians have been shelling the outer
fortifications and the are of their
howitzers has reached the citadel of
the city. One suburb is already burn-
ing, 'and the entire city has been de-
vastated. •
The following official communica-
tion was issued from general
head-
quarters
at Petrograd last night:—
"Stubborn engaginents continue in
the direction of Lowicz. An attempt
by the Germans to advance in the re-
gion of Rzeszow has been repulsed
with great losses to the Germans.
"On the rest of the front along the.
left bank of the Vistula an artillery
engagement took place on Nov. 29.
"The Russian troops, atter a fight
lasting ten days, captured on Nov. 28
the Austrian positions which protect-
ed the passes'in the Carpathians, ex-
tending about 33 miles. from Kone-
ezna, which is situated north of Bart-
feld, as far as'Sczuko, situated south
of Mezo Laborcz. The Russians in
this district captured cannon, ma-
chine guns and many prisoners.
"During the first half of November
we captured in all 50,000 Austro-
Hungarian soldiers and 60,0 officers.
`At Plock, Poland, the Russian
troops seized four shipsladen with
machine guns and munitions.
"In East Prussia, mir.r engage-
ments continue.
"No Turkish warship has been seen
in the Black Sea since Nov. 21,"
Reference in London to the Rus-
sian success in Poland has, been some-
what toned down since the cautionary
report of Grand Duke Nicholas. Mili-
tary' critics' are -convinced, however,:
-that' the Germanshavesuffered a
cheek. which .only.the most; strenuous
efforts of their commanders can save
from degenerating into defeat.. .
From Poland the reports as to the
situation between the German and
the Russian armies ' are' "conflicting.
Both Berlin, and Petrograd, however,
agree that the final issue has not yet
been reached. Petrograd reports
that the Germans are energetically re-
sisting the Russian advance in the
vicinity of Strykow, and the situation
is said to be favorable. fox the Rus-
sians.

Lodz, says a despatch to The Matin
from its Petrograd correspondent.
The Russian pressure is steadily
tightening about the three German
army corps which were enveloped be-
tween Strykow and Brzeziny, and
fresh forces have been despatched to
the front to meet the Germans' rein-
forcements, which are advancing
from the vicinity of Lenszyca.
The Germans have hastily sent a
force of 30,000 men to strengthen the
garrison at Breslau, in evident anti-
cipation of a Russian success at Cra-
cow.
It is now definitely known here
that at least two army Corps have
been recalled from Belgium and
France to the eastern arena of war:

Will You Help The Hospital
for Sick Children, the Great
Provincial Charity ? - ►-
Dear Mr. Editor:—
Thanks for the privilege of appet-
ing through your columns on behalf of
the Hospital for Sick Children. The
Hospital takes care of sick and de-
formed children, not only in Toronto;
but in the Province, outside of the city.
This coming year, of all the }mars
in the Hospital's history, has a. more
serious outlook, as regards funds for
maintenance, than any year that has
passed its calendar.
So many calls are being made on the
purses of the generous people of To-
ronto
oronto and Ontario, to help the soldiers
of the Empire, that as I make my
daily rounds through the wards of the
Hospital, and see the suffering chil-
dren in our cots and beds, the thought
strikes me as to whether the people
will as of old, with all the demands'
made upon them, answer our appeal
and help to maintain the institution
that is fighting in the never-ending
battle with disease and death, in its
endeavor to save the stricken little
ones in the child -life of: Ontario.
Lastyear there were 394 in -patients
from 21Aaces outside of Toronto,
,
-and:.in the past twenty yearsthere
have been 7,000 from places- in -the
Province other than Toronto.,
- It costs us $2.34 per patient per day
for maintenance. The munieipalities
pay for patients $1 per patient per
day; the Government allows 20 cents
per patient per clay; so, deducting
$1.20 from $2.34, it leaves the Hospital
with $1.14 to pay out of subscriptions
it receives from the people of Toronto
and the Province. The shortagelast
year ran to $18,000.
Since 1880 about 1,000 cases of Club
feet, bow legs and knock knees have
been treated, and of these 900 had
perfect correction: Nearly all these
were from different parts of the , Pro-
vince outside of the city of Toronto,
Remember that every year is a war
year with the Hospital; every day is
a day of battle; every minute the
Hospital needs money, not for .its own
sake, but for the children's sake. The
Hospital is the battleground where the
Armies of Life have grappled with the
Hosts of 'Death, and the life or death
of thoftsanda of little children is the
issue that is settled in, that war. Will
you let the hospital be driven from
the field of itS battle to save the lives
of l*tie children for the lack of money
you can give and never mins?
Every dollar may , prove itself, - a
dreadnought in the` battle against
doa.lhF a flagship-.inathe fleet that fights
for thstaies of little children.
°Remeniber that the delta- of the Hos
pitaI's mercy is the door of hope, and
your dollar, kind reader, ,may be the
key that,' opens the door for some-
body's child,
Will you send a dollar, or more if
volt can, to T)onglas Davidson, Seem -
eery -Treasurer. or
J. ROB -S ItOI3ERTSON,
Chairman of the 'Board of Trustees,
