ZTRODOW. Jan. S. by courier to
Pctrograd. Jan. 7. The recent lull lu
the activity of tha German forces
teemed to Indicate preparation for
renewed attempt to pierce the Rut
nan lines before Warsaw, and the
fighting of the last few days shows
that this attempt is belns made on the
lines from tha Vistula south along; the
. Biura and Rawka rivers to a point
rant of the town of Rawka, which is In
German hands.
These attacks are reported thus far
to have resulted In little Bain for the
German and crest losses of men to
tiiclr fighting units.
Klahllaar la lsrrail.
The center of the fighting is west o
i'iujow, on the road from Zyrodow to
wics. Here the Germans have con
c-ntrated their best troops and have
Increased the amount of their artillery,
which now consists of ail varieties of
suns save those of the biggest caliber.
The fighting has been most Intense,
continuing: night and- day without lu-
terruptlon.
The renewed attack began west of
Gusow on New Year's day. The tier
man trenches are east of the Rawka
r.lver and the Russian trenches crown
a rise of the ground in a winding line
above the marshy course of tho river.
The distance between the trenches Is
30 to 200 yards and the center of the
line la cut by a broad highway running
straight across the fields and bordered
by bare trees.
Attack lakers v Year's.
Behind the Russian line lie a few
deserted villages and a big factory, the
tall chimney of which remains Intact
Here and there single houses wlt"j per
forated roofs dot the flat landscape.
In the gray light of a cold and cheer
less New Year's day the Germans once
more began a desperate fight and while
the daylight lasted they maintained
shell fire, searching every point which
might screen a Russian battery or af
ford shelter to the movement of troops
or of supply trains.
This was the usual preliminary of
assault. We watched it from the regi
mental headquarters of the Bielozerski
regiment, which held the trench In the
center of the battle line. It was impos
sible to approach the trench during the
day. as the open field was swept with
bullets and the Germans were shooting
with shrapnel at transport wagons or
even at single figures.
Klrat Line Trench Reached.
Soon after dark we were able to
reach the trenches of the first line.
1'rince Volkonskl. great grandson of
the founder of this regiment, who was
Field Marshal of the Russian forces
which reached Faris In 1814, accom
panied us part of the way.
For the last half. mile of the Journey
was a deep dllcb, where bullets struck
and raised dust on cither edge. Ger
man star rockets rose and fell slowly
to light the country for miles around.
The trench was the center of tha Gu
xow position running north and south
of the highway, where is situated a
small hamlet.
The breastworks of the trenches are
six feet high. The officers. In small
underground bombproof, gave us a
hospitable welcome. The men had cut
tmall recesses in the front wall of the
trench, where they were comfortably
housed in straw with bagging in front
to keep out the cold. The trenches
were in good condition and clean for
war time.
Dead Keaaala la Treach.
In th,. loopholes rifles lay ready for
nring. One man in every foar watched,
while the other three slept.
As we walked through the trenches
w e stepped over the dead bodies of men
who liad recently fallen. Since the
war began this regiment, the usual
strength of which is 4000. has lost 550
men. with 12 officers killed, and 52
wounded.
When the light swelled into day the
German artillery began shelling the
trenches. Black clouds of smoke rose
from the spots where tiic shells struck.
On our trench they used shrapnel,
which burst for the most part beyond
us in white pan's. The German infan
try continued a heavy fusillade, but
our machine gun tire, which seemed to
sweep the dust from the top of the
German trench, caused their rifle flrt
go high and the bullets hissed over
head. Two German aeroplanes swept down
the line above the Russian trenches,
but retired when chased by a Russisn
biplane. In the distance a German ob-

CHICAGO. Jan. 7. Wheat, flying
higher and higher on Its war wings
had a grotesque consequence today in
nL.n ft nnhifc Advocacy of the
formation of "state bread clubs"
throughout the city. To forestall at
i.mnti to raise the Drlce of bread a

which it was said the proposed club
would effect.
-Members of the "state bread clubs.
It waa expected, would simply pledge
th.mutvM htiv bread one day old
and not insist on the article hot from
the oven- Superior health values were
asserted for day-old bread by its ad
vocates, who declared that what the
matured loaf lacked in flavor was more
than offset by ease of digestion.
Paul Schulze. an authority in the
baker trade, said the practical result
of this plan would be to abolish the

been compelled by custom to remove

SHIPS NOT TO BE MOLESTED
Complaints of United States
Remedied in Part.
FURTHER RELIEF EXPECTED
Even Contraband Not to Be Held Up

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. Arrange
mcnts between Ureat Britain, Italy and
The Netherlands have been completed
whereby commerce to the latter two
countries from the United States is ex
pected to undergo a minimum of moles
tatlon.
The steps taken by Great Britain and
announced In statements from both the
British embassy and State Department
remedy some of the complaints made
by the United States in its recent note
to Great Britain and the plans encour
aged Administration officials In the
hope that commerce with the Scandi
navian countries and other neutral na
tions would be improved.
Delays Will Be Prevented.
The statement indicated that so far
as Italy and Holland are concerned the
British government now believes the
danger of getting contraband articles
through those countries to Germany
and Austria has practically ' been re
moved. Should effective measures be
agreed on between the allies and other
neutrals of Europe, American com
merce, it Is thought by British offi
cials, will not be subject to the delays
and ' interference complained of in the
American note.
- American Minister Van Dyke at The
Hague cabled today that thp British,
French and Russian Ministers bad giv
en formal assurances that merchan
dise even of a contraband character
would not be molested on the high seas
If consigned to the recently established
Netherlands monopoly.
Naval Mores Outfook Better.
Secretary Bryan received a personal
note from Sir Cecil Sprlng-Rlce, the
British Ambassador, saying that In
asmuch as the re-exportation of roBin
and turpentine, known as "naval
stores," probably would be prohibited
by Italy and Holland, arrangements
would soon be completed whereby these
products could be shipped without dif
ficulty to those countries from the
United States.

Thursday s War Moves
2f,
"MPLETE change in the situation
in the Near East may be brought
about by the Russian victory over the
Turks in the Caucasus. If the Turkish
defeat is as sweeping as has been offi
cially reported the virtual destruction
of two Turkish army corps and the re
pulse of a third the Turkish menace
against the Russians in Trans-Caucasia
has been removed. . The loss of so many
of their best-trained oSlcers and men.
it is believed here, will compel the
Turks to give up any ambition they had
of invading their enemy's territories
and force them to concentrate on the
defense of their own country.
Military men, however, are taking
even greater interest in the Russian In
vasion of Hungary through Uzsok Pasa
in the Carpathians and their rapid ad
vance on Transylvania through Buko
wina, simultaneously with their move
ment toward Cracow. These combined
operations are the most gigantic under
taken in the war.
In the meantime the Russians are
held by tho Austro-Germans in West
ern Gallcla. Field Marshal von Hlu
denburg, the German commander In
Northern Poland, can move but slowly,
because of the mud. in his offensive
operations against Warsaw.
A dispatch from Pctrograd says that
aviators have observed German artil
lery at the frontier railway stations,
which cannot be moved on account of
the softness of the roads. It has been
suggested that the Germans Intended
to use the Vistula for the transport of
their guns, but with the Russians In
possession of the northern bank this
obviously would be impossible.
Although the fighting has been in
tense at many points on the western
front, there is little or no change in
Flanders, where the llelds and roads
are under several feet of water. In
that territory only artillery has been
able to work, but in Northern France,
between Lille and Arras, there has been
some hard fighting in which trenches
have changed hands more than once.
Hard fighting continues also in Al
sace, where the French say they have
advanced a little toward Altkirch. They
apparently have got no farther along
the Cernay road from Stelnbach.
The British Admiralty now is con
vinced that the battleship Formidable
was destroyed by a German submarine.
In making this announcement in the
House of Lords the Earl of Crewe
divulged the information that the Spar
tan rule which the Admiralty promul
gated after the loss of the cruisers
Abouklr, Cressy and Hogue, that no
ship, should go. to the assistance of an
other for fear that she, too, might be
torpedoed, has been carried out. The
captain oC the Formidable, although he
knew his ship was doomed, signalled
the other ships not to stand by.
PHONE PREFIX CASE LOST
Seattle Aristocrats of Piilnuej Ave

OLTMPIA, Wash., Jan. 7. (Special.)
Residents of the aristocratic Phinney
avenue section of Seattle must continue
to be listed in the telephone directory
under the Ballard exchange designa
tion, through action .taken by the Pub
lic Service Commission yesterday.
The "Ballard prefix" case, which has
been pending some months, has excited
the liveliest interest. Ballard, a humble,
but busy, mill suburb of Seattle, and
the higher-toned Phinney avenue are
in the same vicinity and are served by
the same exchange, the prefix "Ballard'
having been- chosen by the telephone
company. Phinney avenue residents
protested to the commission.

CENTRALIA, Wash., Jan. 7. (Spe
cial.) John Wagner, an aged resident
of Centralia, died yesterday, within a
week of his wife's death. Mrs. Wagner
was found dead in her home in the
north end last week and it is believed
that grieving over the loss hastened
the death of the husband.
. All of Wagner's relatives live In Ger

He owned much property, the greater

It Is apparent that tho Irrigation
Congress now In session here will rec
ommend no particular appropriation
from cither tho state or Federal Gov
ernment for any specific Irrigation dis
trict. '
Tho almost universal sentiment -pressed
at tho scries of meetings yes
terday favored action toward general
state-wide Irrigation development In
stead of development for any particular
district.
While delegates from Central East
ern and Northern Oregon told of the
superior qualifications of their respec
tive districts their utterances In these
particulars found no responsive thurds
among the main body of dclcgatts.
Recommendations to He l ablaaed.
This docs not mean that there is no
appreciation among the representative
of one district of the Irrigation needs
of the other districts, but that the con
gress us a whole does not proposo to
center its affections upon any. one
county or section of tho state.
It Is probable that the congress will
adopt resolutions asking for both state
nd Federal aid for irrigation pur
poses, and that tne claims or an dis
tricts represented at the meeting will
be pointed out but no recommendation
of localities will be made.
Karly Actloa Desired.
Assuming that the Federal Congress
appropriates $460,000 In accordance
with th recent recommendations Of
Secretary Lane that tho National Gov
eminent should match the expendi
tures made by the state on th Tumalo
project, Itlsprobablo that th meetings
will urg tbe importance of an early
apportionment of th money by the
Federal authorities.
Although the I-aldlaw delegate and
others in the vicinity of th Tumalo
project are Insisting that tho congre
recommend that the Federal Govern
ment's appropriation be applied to tht
