EEIIIHIII IIHNIEHS
The following is a detailed report
of the annual meeting oi' the Central Farmers' Institute, which opened on
gmasday at 1 p.m. in the Agricultural
Mr D. N. McKay presided and
dellered an opening address, which was listened to with keen enthusiasm by all.
The minutes of the last meeting
were then read and adopted. The financial statement was also read ami adopted, after which, owing to the fruit show taking place at the same time, the meeting adjourned until Cl o'clock. On resumption n report from the Credential Committee was read and a resolution passed pro- hibiting slde-shows at the Provincial Exhibition. Rev. Dr Gauthier led a very interesting discussion on this subject, in the course of which he said that he was aware that there had been an enormous increase of these shows in the past few years, and that some of them had become very immoral. He said. further, that our park was built at a great sacrifice from the -gfitizens, who got very little profit out of_it. and he felt that if these men knew what was going on in some of those shows this year they would have put it down. He had been informed that some of the men who saw these things' went to the chief of police and members of the Association, and nothing was done.
Mr Peter Brodie spoke on the sub-
ject ln somewhat. siinllar terms. lie said that these sidc-shows were very harmful to agricultural interests, which should take first place at thc Provincial Exhibition.
Mr Smallwood said that lic was on
those grounds all the time and that there wasn’t one man \vho went to his office and made any complaint about side-shows at the Exhibition this year..
Mr Paton said that when there was
any fault to be found it should come right 'to headquarters. Regarding the side-shows, he said he was very much disappointed that any such thing should have taken place. He said that a cer- tain person went to him about it and he immediately sont the police to make enquiries. The policeman apparently did so ami reported that ho saw nothing particularly wrong about the show.
The rosolution was discussed by

Plock is sixty miles Northwest of
Warsaw on the Vistula. lt is now ad- mitted that in the vicinity of Lodhann. Lowicz. the Germans have succeeded in cutting through their way out of thc trap which had been laid for them, but this was only accomplished with ter- rific losses.
(Special to the Guardian) BERLIN, Dec. 2.-The latest report
from Russian Poland, given out offi- cially in Berlin, indicate that the Ger- mans resumed the execution of their plan to encourage the Russian right flank and to force it back on the cen- tre, at the same time cutting oft' the Russians communication with War- saw. The carrying out of this plan, was begun with the Russian defeat at Lipno ami at Plock, and was later hindcrcd by the arrival of Russian reinforcements ami the Germans for the moment \verc thrown on their de- fensive. Now ofter repulsing a number ot' attacks, the Germans appeal' to be moving forward in the direction of Lowicz.
German movements in this region
have been interferrcd with in the ast few days. This, German military observers say must be taken as high- ly favorable as in their opinion t he German repulse of the Russian :ul- vances probaby has been followed by general offensive movement of the Germans toward Lodz.

‘SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION
_ (Special to The Guardian) LONDON, Dec. 2.~Belgrade which
until the outbreak of war was the cap- ital of Servla. was to-day occupied by the Austrian troops, the Scrvluns hav- ing previously evacuated the city. Thus on the sixty-sixth anniversary of the Emperor Francis Joseph who is again reported seriously ill, four months after the outbreak of war his generals are reported of the most im- portant successes they havc obtained. Belgrade was frequently under bom- bardment early in the \var and but for the general European war which com- pelled the Austrians to send their troops against the Russians must have fallen an easy prey to Scrvia's big neighbor.
Apparently Austria miscalculutcd
the nature of Servian opposition and only after Bosnia was invaded did sbc send sufficient force against the Ser- vians to drive them back. Now they are being forced backward ami look- ing for an advance of Russians into l-lungary to afford them relief. Rus- sia has been sending Cossack raiding parties through the Carpathians with the object of diverting Austrian at- tention, but the dual monarchy is seemingly determined to finish with' Serviit first. This, however, is only a small affair compared with what is going on in the North oi' Poland. There the German army, which with the sid ot' reinforcements, has succeeded in escaping from the ring that the Rus- sians had forced around it, has form- ed a new front and at some points has resumed the offensive. The Germans assert that in these series of man- ocuvres, by which they were able to
'chock the Russians they made eighty ithousami prisoners.
On the other hand the Russians, in
a statement _lssucd through Reine, soy their captures greatly exceed this number. All agree that thelosses havc been vcry heavy and that tiic battlc is still procccding. it will pro-
ybabiy bc sonic days bcforc a dccisivc result is rcaclicd. For thc moment thc Allies are soincwhat disappointed that thc realization of the great. Rus- sian victory is donicd thcm. Thcy lakc sonic consolation in the fact. flint the Gorman attempts to picrcc thc Russian lincs have failed and that, suffering froiu heavy losses, the Ger- mans are compelled to weaken their
armies where the Russian report to- night says that thc fight has lost some of its violence and indicates some pro- gress for the Russian troops South of Lodv

Reports from the front are that

The sp- parent purpose of this move is to hinder the Russian envelopment move- nicnt until the main German column is cxtricated from the line which runs from Strykow through Gzlez to Szedck.
