A Berlin dispatch says: "The Russian offensive at Radza nowa. at Biesun and at Sierpec. in Northern Poland, near the border of West Prussia, reported in the German official bulletin issued on Tuesday last, appears to have been a part or a con tinuation of the Russian offensive al ready reported. "The Russians seem to have received reinforcements in this region and to have advanced in an extended front either directly northward toward the Kast Prussian frontier or toward the west. Their repulse is considered by military officials here to have removed any present danger in that locality." The following communication from general headquarters of the Russian army was received from Petrograd to day: "In the region north of Rawa the Germans made two attempts at a par tial offensive. The enemy was com pelled to fall back. "In the evening of January IS the Germans In the region of the village of Vitkoriuie (on the left bank of the Bzura) made an attack against the head of the bridge under the glare of searchlights, rockets and burning straw. This attack was repulsed by our artillery. "The same evening in Western Ga llcia the Germans, after cannonading heavily our positions south of the small town of Radloff and setting on fire two villages behind our positions, made an attack on them. Compact detach ments of the enemy reached our barbed wire entanglements, but our destruc tive fire prevented further progress. They suffered heavy losses' and were compelled to fall back on their posi tion. "In Bukovain our troops have occu pied, after some fighting, tho village of Ichaneschti, about ten miles north of Watra Dorna, where they captured and made prisoners both officers and men."

I "A British cavalry division attempted to surprise a Turkish cavalry division near the junction of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The attack was made under the protecting fire of a gunboat, but the British suffered heavy loss and the gunboat withdrew. An Jndian expeditionary force is op erating in ithis region at the head of the Persian Gulf. It was officially an nounced early in December that the Turkish forces at Kurm bad surren dered unconditionally and that the place was subsequently occupied by the British, thus giving them control of the country from the junction of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to the Persian Gulf. 22 DEPUTIES ARRAIGNED OFFICERS CHARGED WITH SHOOT IXG STRIKERS OUT IN BONDS. rieaa of Not Guilty Are Made State and Federal Investigations to Be Blade Men Seek Settlement.

LICENSE PLAN PROPOSED Xew Method of Regulation Suggest- ed for Electrical Code. and charging of an inspection fee, to solve the question of regulating the tng electrical work, may be included in the proposed new electrical coae, in place of a provision requiring con tractors to furnish $100 cash bonds. Labor organizations have opposed bitterly the cash bond proposal because, it is said, it would put individual con tractors out of business because of cash. The new proposal will require every conuavuir w vo-y o.u .uuuai cense of $25. Much stress has been placed upon the need of regulating the home owner who does his own elec trical work. It is proposea now to per mit any person to do wiring on his own premises by paying the usual elec trical permit fee of 50 cents.

The committee of the local union of the painters, decorators and paper hangers in charge of the proposal is composed of E. H. Pickard, O. W. Hart wig and Albert Raymond.

FALSE TITLE CONFESSED NEW YORKER ADMITS TAKING CITY JOB BY MISNOMER. John P. Fox Told lie Is "Expert Con sulting; Engineer," so He ITses Description on His Card. NEW YORK, Jan. 12. John P. Fox. whose card bears the title of expert consulting engineer on the committee of -city plan of the Board of Estimate, was the first witness called on resump tion of the investigation of the Mu nicipal Civil service Commission by the State Civil Service Commission in the Municipal building. Fox said he was a consulting engi neer but later admitted that he was not a graduate engineer, mechanical or electrical, and never had taken any degree of engineering from any insti tution. He said be was a "technical" engineer. Asked if he did not consider it wrong to accept a position under a false title, he said he never had called himself a consulting engineer, but that when in ducted into his position he was told he was an "expert consulting engi neer." He said he had studied city con ditions and plans on railroads in Eng land and in Paris and had studied arch itectural conditions in this city. He was a member of the city plan com mittee of the City Club and the Citi zens' Union. Fox was appointed July 8 last at a salary of $250 a month, to hold his position until an appropriation of S2000 for tne purposes or ms worn was exhausted. He did not take an examination, and was exempted from the civil service regulations. The State Commission ratified his appoint ment one month after he received hiB position. ALBANY, Jan. 12. Governor Whit man's admission that he will asE the Legislature for carte blanche in the matter of getting rid of the present State Civil Service Commission and selecting an entirely new one. only confirms what -has been known for some time to be the Intention of the executive. The Governor has been holding off to see if the two Democratic members of the commission would respond gracefully to his pointed suggestion that the resignations of the members be sent in without delay. Several days ago, in answer to such a sugges tion. Commissioner Lavery, the Repub lican member, promptly placed his res ignation in the Governor's hands, but the Democrats stood pat on their dig nity and "vested rights." The position they take is that resignation would be tacit admission that they have been un worthy of their trusts, and they are in no mood to help the Governor out. As their terms have some time to run, the only alternative is the one the Gover nor has chosen legislating them out of office and no one doubts this will be accomplished with expedition. CENT CLEARS CONSCIENCE Woman AVho Defrauded Slot Ma chine Makes ( Restitution. JUNCTION CITY, Kan., Jan. 15. Because she "cheated" the weighing machine in the Union Pacific Depot here out of a penny more than a year ago, the conscience of an Abilene wom an has been bothering her ever since, Anoordine' to a letter received by G. W. Mills, the company's agent here. In her letter the woman stated that more than a year ago sne ana ner daughter were in the depot waiting for a train. The daughter placed a penny in the weighing machine, and after it had registered her weight, and before she stepped from the machine the mother stepped on also and was weighed free.

FIRE L0SSJIS $1,500,000 Marshal Stevens Gives Statistics at "Safetr-First" Luncheon Talk. Portland stands fifth in ranking among cities of the United States for amount of fire losses' In, 1814, and fifth in the number of 'tbiiflagrations de stroying more than three buildings, ac. cording to Fire Marshal Jay Stevens, who addressed the safety first lunch eon at the Commercial Club yesterday noon. "The fire loss in Fortland last year was $1,500,090 in property and IS lives. Who can compute the value of those lives-in dollars and cents? How much would one of them be worth if it had been one in your family?" Carelessness he held to be the chief cause of fires, saying that arson, which is also one of the chief causes, is effec tive only through carelessness on the part of the insurance companies, whom he blamed for paying losses simply to "get rid or' the claimant, though they were certain that the losses were of incendiary origin.
