ACTION DELAYED BY RAIN German Official Statement Esti mates Enemy's loss in West Since General Advance Was Ordered as 1 50,000. IXWDON. Jan. 17. Official German and French reports agree in saying that late activities of the armies on the western front have been confined chiefly to artillery engagements. The German account tells of the blowing tip of a foundry at Blangy. east of Ar ias, and the French version admits losing this position, but asserts that It was promptly regained and Is still held. . , A feature of the German report Is the estimate it makes of the iqsses of the allies since the general advance was reputed to have been decided on In December. These are given by Berlin as 20.000 killed and 17,860 pris oners, and it is added that the grand total. Including wounded, sick ana missing, must have been 150.000 men. "Our total losses for the same pe riod." says the Berlin account, "do not amount to one-quarter of that num ber." Allies Gala 200 Yards. Concerning the progress of the al lies, the French official report. Issued today in Paris, says: "We have continued to progress in the region of Nieuport and Lorabaert ayde along a depression about 200 yard's In length. Our artillery forced the Germans to evacuate their trenches in the Great Dune, destroyed Kodan. which lies to the north of the latter, and bombarded the enemy's works In this part of the battlefront and to the aouth of St Georges. "In the region of Tpres, as in that of La Bassee and Lens, there have been artillery engagements. "At Blangy the action has been vig orous. The Germans seized the foun dry at Blangy, which we soon retook by an energetic counter attack. We have maintained our position there. "Our artillery continues to demol ish the enemy's trenches near La Bol Belle. "In the sector of Soissons there is nothing to report Attacks by Germans Repulsed. "Between Vailly and Craonne the enemy delivered without success an attack near the sugar refinery at Tryon and another against our trenches at Beaulme, both of which were repulsed. In the region of Perthes and Beausejour our progress continues, in spite of a violent storm. In'the Argonne, on the heights of the Meuse, there is nothing new. In the woods of Le Pretre, near Pont-a-Mous-son. a German attack was repulsed. "In the .Vosges we have gained ground to the west of Orbey. . Snow fell in abundance all day."' The official statement Issued by the TVar Offioe at Paris later in the day aid: " "There Is nothing to report From the Argonne to the Vosges there have been snowfalls." Berlin says heavy rains have de layed operations along the entire front The official German report cays: "Only artillery duels have taken place on both sides In Flanders. Near Blangy, east of Arras, we blew up a factory building and took some pris oners. On other parts of -- the front artillery duels of varying Intensity have taken place, but In the sapping and mining areas nothing of note has occurred. Grrniii Estimate Foe's Losses. "We made some progress In the Ar gonne, but heavy rains have hampered operations along the entire front "About four weeks ago the order for a general attark. which had been decided upon by the French authori ties In December, was given. The attempted attacks of the enemy In the western theater were met by the nec essary steps on our part. The enemy's attacks brought him no success worthy of mention, whereas our troops north of La Bassee, on the Aisne and on the Argonne made satisfactory progress. "The losses of the enemy during this period, counted by us. amount to 20,000 killed and. .about 17.860 prisoners. We now know from experience that, to gether with the wounded, his losses are In proportion of one to four, apart from the number of sick and missing, the grand total being 150,000 men. Our total losses for the same period do not amount to one-quarter of that num ber." GASOLINE WRECKS HOTEL Proprietress Arrested After Men Confess Attempt at Arson. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 17. A gaso line explosion caused by what is be lieved to have been an attempt to set fire to the Hotel Ptenton. in Eddy street partially wrecked two floors of the building early today. Raymond Cervantes and Francisco Cobacha, who had a room on the third floor, wre arrested and charged with arson. They made a confession, the police say, and, later Mrs. Louise Wolfe, the proprietress, was arrested and is held pending further Investigation. RUSSIANS DESTROY TURKS (Continued From First Pae.) capturing only one trench, occupied by one of our advanced posts. Artillery Ftre la Violent. "In the other sections we repulsed the enemy and forced them to fall back on their positions. The Germans sup ported their attacks with violent artil lery fire, employing heavy guns to search out the position where the at tack was to be Inaugurated "At the vilage of Konopnitsa the enemy, having approached by sapping to within about 30 yards of our trenches, was met with a storm of hand grenades, which checked the movement. Some volunteers, availing themselves of the cenfuslon thus created, hurled grenades into the tunnel, whocn the Germans were forced to evacuate. "In the region to the south of Plrcsow (Poland) the enemy opened a violent artillery fire and made three attemp:s to attack our advanced Jines, but were repulsed. Austria Battery Silenced. "Our artillerists silenced an Austrian heavy battery as soon as they discov ered the range.

One real izes how little the great war in Europe has affected the Panama-Pacific Ex position (in spite of the prophecies that were made to that effect a few months ago) most forcibly, when one views the great mass of foreign pavilions rising in the section west of the outer circumference of the great half moon of the Palace of Fine Arts.

Now, the aeroplane, the captive balloon and the Held telephone are used general., the German army is responsible for a brand new innovation the "lauscher posten," of which term "listening out poBts" is the English equivalent. Th lauachernosten differs from the ordinary observation station in many respects. The latter serves maimy m the direction of artillery fire, though, naturally, all other data of interest are also carefully gathered. As a rule these observation stations are so wen advanced in the direction of the enemy s line that they become exceedingly im portant in infantry attacks. After the officer in the tree or bush, or hole In the ground, and now and then in a small but peripatetic straw heap, has governed the artillery preliminaries of an action, he will telephone to head quarters what progress the infantry at tacking parties are making, summoning reinforcements when necessary, sug gesting changes in the direction of at tack, retarding, arresting or accelerat ing the progress of part of the attack ing line,, becoming, in fact, the general director of the operation. Enemy's Conversation Overheard. The wide sphere of this post may also be looked upon as a development of the European war. The purpose of the lauscherposten is to gain from the con versation In the trenches whatever in formation of military value it may hold. Needless to say, this .is no easy task. At first a German officer would quietly i v. hio nwn 1 i n ph at nierht Slip mivwB" " - , , - and seek the shelter of a bush or other natural cover near tne trencnes at mc French or English.

Though it is ex tremely hazardous to have the neces sary opening" end in the trench of the enemy, this has been done occasionally. Generally, however, the opening is out side the trench.

From all sections of the Coast, where Akoz, the wonderful California medici nal mineral, has been introduced, come letters telling of the benefits derived from the mineral remedy from people suffering from many ailments. The letter below by Mrs. A. F. Wagner, of the Hawthorne Apartments, 564 Urst street, Portland,' is a typical one: "After giving the Akos remedies a fair trial for catarrh of the head and stomach I feel it my duty to send you this testimonial. When I began using the remedy I was a physical wreck; had no appetite; had eaten no solid food without distress; lived almost en tirely on milk for three months, and decreased 83 pounds in weigh c in that time. Since taking your mealclne my appetite Is good, hava gained steadily In weight and can eat anything I wish without suffering the sllgntest dis comfort, and can attend to all my housework, which I could not do be fore.
