BATTLE RAGES IN POLAND London, ; Nov. 30. Another day's tbattle between Russian and Germanic allies in Poland has passed without news of a decis ive result. The Berlin official statement t night said that there was nothing of importance to report in Poland. The Rus sian government rests on -its warning against over optimism. According to correspondents' dispatches, three semi-independ ent engagements are progressing between Thorn on the north ana Cracow on the south, in which both sides have achieved local successes without a distinct vic tory for either. Some British military expires believe the Ger man forces, commanded by Field Marshal Von llindenburgh, have been split into three units, one of which is almost enveloped, and that the Russians have driv en a wedge between the German forces and us Austrian ally 111 the Cracow region. They believe the Germans have under-estimat ed the Russian army's qualities. Berlin reports the failure of the Russian attack on the fortifi cations east of Darkehmen in Fast Prussia, while the retro grad unofficial message describes an important Russian gain and assert the capture of ten miles of trenches northeast of Lodz Holland advices report that railway rathe ana newspaper posts in the Brussels region have been entirely suspended It is presumed that this is for the pur pose of suppresing the news of the movement of the German troops to the east. The only development today in the west was the renewal of the British naval 'bombardment of J thfe German base at Zeebruinre, J 'England was seurpriscdvat the an nouncement last night that King George had left to visit the Brit ish headquarters in France. Em peror William has left Berlin for the German battle front in the cast The Dutch newspapers say the Ocrmans have imposed an in demnity of seven million dollars monthly on Belgium or the du ration of the war and seventy- five million as a war levy for the neutrality violators. Luxemburg reports that the Germans have paid a substantial sum for the damages resulting from their oc cupation of the Grand Duchy MONEY TO LOAN.

Several days ago a Pullman car pulled up on, the side-track here, ajl fitted out with glowing ac counts of the golden wesr, the oil fields of Oklahoma and every thing else tht would add to the lure of that .progressive section. It was soon ascertained that the mission of the car was to give our people an opportunity to buy government land at a public sale which was to take place in No vember. The men conducting this car were to act as agents o f all purchasers, accepting retainers. It was really the most accommo dating business transaction ever presented here and the strangers no doubt will have the everlast ing gratitude of those who in vested. Mr. F. M Pickett, one of the purchasers or clients attended the sale in person and the En terprise will refer you to him for further information. All that we, know is that the lots purchased by the High Point investors were lined up alongside of the penitentiary. We noticed another item in an Oklahoma paper which gave the 'names of a dozen High Point people who were investing in Oklahoma propertp and contem plated building a cotton mill. sYe trust that our townsmen are satisfied with their invest-; mens and if they are it will ne an exception because when a thing looks too good, you had better beware. THE PROWLER. He Comes to the Deestrict Skule Well, I am here accordirg to promise, said the Prowler th morning as he wobbled into the Enterprise office with a pumpkin under his, arm and a' string of red pepper around' his neck. l came a day or two sooner than I expected, after learninc Jtliat you High Point people were going to have the old time dis trict school over again. That suits me better than anything have lieard since the uegmtnng of the war. It is strantre how things do come about. 1 was talk ing only a day or so ago with Cy rus Farlo-w about our old school days. I remember distinctly how mc and Cyrus fout to a finish be cause sally Brown had let n.e chew her gum during recess long er than Cyrus had chewed it. It was a great light but not near as big a one as we had with the teacher when school took in "Old Speck" (he was the teacher) used up about a dozen switches on both. It ended all right Sally got her gum back and cverytninj was quiet next day. My, tbose were great days, and 1 am triad that we are 1 1 have the scenes reproduced. It was a day when the big boy wore short pants and the girls the long ones. I could knock my dad dy down before I put on long pants and the girls put up their hair 'before they were allowed to change their appearance around the ankles. I am not criticising 'em, long pants were a sight pret tier than the one-legged ones that are worn by the women today, with a draw string at the bottom But Lmust quit. Let's all go to the District school, Arthur Ly on is going to look just like I used to lookl" HOUR CHANGED.
