AUSTRIA ANNOUNCES ANOTHER BIG VICTORY IN RUSSIAN THEATRE In Two Days Battle Along Three Rivers, Slav Forces Are Compelled to Fall Back BY LEASED WIRE. VIENNA, Via Berlin and Amsterdam. Jan. 27. Another victory over the Russians was officially announced here today in the following report from the Austrian general staff: "In the valleys of the rivers Ung. Latorcze and Nagy-Ag the enemy has been forced to evacuate important heights after repeated counter attacks in which it lost heavily." -. The conflict along these three rivers, has been violent for two days. HEAVY RUSSIAN BATTLE. PETROGRAD. Jan. 27. German forces in East Prussia took the offensive Sunday and gained some slight advantages in the region of Gumbinnen, but the Russians made a number of counter attacks on Tuesday and regained the lost ground. Fighting was severe about Pillkallen, northeast of Gumbinnen. The Russians in East Prussians in East Prussia resumed the offensive in the region of Pillkallen and repulsed the enemy to the line of Mallwischken and Lasdehnen (west and north of Pillkallen), says an oficial statement. According to the same statement, the

Austro-German forces in Galicia have

resumed their attacks upon the Russians there energetically, but with slight success.

RESERVE BANKS

(Continued from Page One.)

dence inspired in addition to the actu

al release of reserves.

The report describes the operations of the gold exchange fund and the cotton loan fund. Of the latter it says

that its formation rendered material

service by restoring confidence, thus

establishing values and establishing a basis for extension of credit on cotton

as collateral. The board asks itself the question:

What is the proper place and function

of the Federal reserve bands? and an swers as follows:

On the one hand it is represented

that they are merely emergency bank

to be resorted to for assistance oniy

In times of abnormal stress. It 13

claimed that they are in essence sim-

nlv additional banks which should

compete with the member banks, es

pecially with those of the greatest nower. The function of a reserve

bank is not to be identified with either of these extremes, although occasions may arise when either of Buch courses may be imperative. Its duty plainly is not to await emergencies, but by anticipation, to to do what it can to pre

vent them. If. at any time, commerce

tnHnslrv or aericulture. are- burdened

unduly with excessive Interest, it will be the clear duty of the reserve bank aetlne through the discount rate and

onen market powers, to secure a wirier

Hlfusion of credit facilities at reason able rates. Strenath Needed.

The Federal reserve banks are the holders of a large part of the banking

rfupi'vcs of the nation. Nothing should

he permitted in the operation of the reserve hanks which would weaken this foundation. The resources of the reserve bank to be useful for Its pe-

ruliar purposes, should always be read

ilv available. It follows, therefore, that they should he mainly invested in such short term liquid investments aa

ran tie easily conveneu uiiu occasion may require. The ready availability of its r?ourcRs is of supreme importance in the conduct of a reserve bank. Only then Pin it become a safe and at the same time flexible instrument of guidance and control, a regulator of interest rates and conditions. Only then will it ( (instantly carry the promise of being p.hle to to protect business against the harmful stimulus and consequences of ill-advised expansions of credit on the one hand, or against the menace of unnatural restriction and unnecessary contradictions on the other, with exhobitant rates of Interest and artificial stringencies.

TRUSTEES HANDLE QUARTER

MILLION FOR SMALL WAGE

Fifteen Officials Direct Affairs of 145 Schools Rooms and

Manage 500 Miles of Township Roads Boston Issue of Bonds Increases Total Bonded Indebtedness of Townships.

The fifteen township trustees of Wayne county handled almost a quarter

of a million dollars at an aggregate salary of $7,964, directed the school affairs of 145 school rooms, had charge of 500 miles of township roads, paid off and incurred indebtedness, fixed tax rates, handled thousands of dollars disbursed

to poor and performed numerous other duties, according to the annual reports

which have been filed with the county auditor.

The office was not a highly remunerative one, the reports show. The

average wage received by the trustees In fourteen townships working under a

per diem of $2, was $457.60 a year, which required an average of 226 days of work. In Wayne township the trustee works under a separate law and he worked practically every day at a straight salary of $1,100 a year, handling about one-fifth of the money and township affairs conducted under all trustees of the county.

Boston Issues $17,000 In Bonds. The township indebtedness report would make a favorable showing for

1914 for all townships if it had not been for the $17,000 bond issue made by Boston township to build a new school house. In ten townships indebtedness by note, bond or similar method was contracted but in six of these, the old in debtedness paid off exceeded the amount of that taken on.

The general reports covering all receipts and expenditures are favorable to Boston, Clay, Dalton, Franklin, Harrison, Jefferson, New Garden and Perry

townships, where the 1914 balance was slightly larger than the 1913 balance. In no townships were the receipts and expenditures greatly at variance.

Wayne township made the best showing, making a net gain of $3,194.22, by paying off $5,000 In old Indebtedness, but exceeding the receipts $1,805

with the expenditures. Of the smaller townships, Clay made the best show

ing. A net gain of $2,774.02 was made. Table Shows Income for Year. ,

ed back. The Russian Infantry had to fall back while we were doing this, as the German cannon were spitting shells at them. .. Goes Back After More. "When we reached a. little meadow with the three cannon, I unhitched our horses and again rode back to re

trieve the next cannon. We received a hot machine gun .fire. My companion turned back, but I stretched out flat on the ground beside: my horses, and was uninjured, although one of my horses received a glancing shot in the right hind leg. Then I took another cannon, in which operation I was assisted by my lieutenant. I rode back with the. gun to the battery and on the way received some more Russian artillery fire, but I was not hurt. "For this deed I received the Iron Cross. Again I thank you very much

for the 25 Mark. I added 5 Mark from my pay and sent it to my young brother, who was captured by the Russians and forced to drive the cattle, which they stole from my dear home, across the frontier. He is 15 years old. He was working for a big farmer who fled and took htm along. The Russians stole his trunk in which he bad his clothes, so the. poor boy had nothing left but the clothes in which he was dressed. "Through your generosity my brother now has another suit, other

wise he probably would not have gotten another one. as my father Is dead and my mother is old and sick. Until the outbreak of the war, I supported her. Since then they have been forced to flee three times when the Russians approached the frontier. . But my mother is getting along allrlght. They receive -governmental assistance, and I send them whatever I can spare from my soldier's pay. "I remain, . "Very truly, ROBERT JODWISCHAT."

Trustees Use Borrowed Money For Schools. In the record of indebtedness, it is shown that most of the money borrowed

on notes and bonds was used for schools, either in building new school houses

or in improving the old ones, and for other items of school expense.

Of all twnshlp indebtedness incurred in 1914, only $1,800 was used to add

to the township road funds. Franklin township borrowed $1,000: Jefferson

borrowed $500 and paid off $200; Washington borrowed $300, and Center dis

charged an old debt of $500.

STATE OUSTS JEROME Noted Lawyer Dropped From Harry Thaw Prosecution by New York. NEW YORK, Jan. 27. With Harry K. Thaw in the tombs awaiting a call before Supreme Court Justice Davis to plead to an indictment charging conspiracy, a new sensation developed in the case today as a result of an announcement that William Travers Jerome had been dropped by the state as one of the prosecutors of Stanford White's slayer. That the action of Attorney General Woodbury in eliminating Jerome himself was indicated by the lawyer's attitude today. When he was asked for an explanation of the attorney general's action. Jerome exclaimed: "Not a word, not a word."

Seth F. Watson, one of Richmond's pioneer citizens and a well known piano dealer, as a soldier in the Army of the Potomac had many interesting and nerve-tingling experiences but one memory he cherishes above all others has to do with an event which occurred at Centerville on election day, 1864, when Abraham Lincoln was a candidate for re-election to the presidency against George B. McClellan, the Democratic nominee. "On that election day, when the nation was still in the throes of our great civil war," said Mr. Watson, a party of Abington Democrats who were thorough-going "rebel sympathizers, invaded Centerville, carrying with them Confederate flags and shouting 'hurrah for Jeff Davis.' They routed the Republican workers about the polls at Centerville and took possession of them after a brief "but lively scrimmage. I don't know how many ballots they succeeded In casting for McClellan. "As I recall it, I was standing about a polling place at the corner of what is now Fifth and Main streets, this

city, when Sheriff John Paxton, driv-

he shouted. 'I want a posse to go with

me to Centerville and drive them out

of town.'

"In a jiffy myself and about ten or eleven other men climbed In to the

wagon and Paxton drove the horses on a dead run for Centerville. We were all armed with revolvers and ready for a scrap because we were nearly all soldiers at home on furlough

to vote. When we arrived at Centerville we found the Abington gang in complete control of the town and we

jumped off the wagon ready to go into action. There was a lively scrap for a few minutes, but only fists were used, then the confederate sympathizers beat a hasty retreat that is those who were able to navigate.

"Probably I ought not tell the sequel

to this fight because it has to do with things now tolerated under our recent corrupt practices act, but I am not the least bit ashamed of It so here goes: We took charge of the Centerville polls and each one of us voted for Lincoln as many times as we wanted to and let every Republican vote as many times as he wanted to. We threw out nearly all the Democratic votes and as a result Centerville went Republican by the largest majority and the largest vote ever cast in her history."
