Successes for the Russian arms in the region of Warsaw and in th5 Carpathians are recounted in an official Russian statement re ceived here today. Confirmation in given also to the re port that German troops have been sent to the Carpathians to artist their Aus trian allies. The text of the communication fol lows: "The engagements in the region of Mlawa have continued favorable to our troops. On the left bank of the Vis tula the battle on the roads from Boli mow proceeded on February 1 with considerable intensity. A large number of heavy and lisjht batteries partici pated energetically in the engagement Jmt Trenches Recap to red. "The German attack on the morning of the 2d. north of liorjimow, was re pulsed with crreat losses for the enemy. A violent combat was bgun south of the village of Goumine, where we re raptured advanced trenches which we lost January 31. The position of a small farm still is undecided. "South of the Pilica, near Dounaietz, the enemy increased the intensity of his bombardment, continuing night and day. but attempts of the enemy's troops to make progress are without success. "In the Carpathians the conflict con tinued January 31 and February 1. Our forces advanced, fighting along the broad front at Dukla Pass as far as the Lower San. having crossed the principal ridge of the mountain range in the region of Jasli.ska and Mezo La borcz. Where we took a battery of six cannon, two mortars, a number of rap-id-firers and numerous prisoners. An offensive movement undertaken by the enemy southeast of Uszok Pass was re pulsed with enormous losses. German Battalion Destroyed. "News relative to the transportation of German troops to the Carpathian front finds confirmation in the fact that on February 2, southeast of Eas kid Pass, we destroyed a battalion of the 224th German regiment, a remnant of which, notably battalion and com pany commanders and 20 soldiers, were made prisoners. According to the German version of the recent fighting in Poland, as given in the official report today from Ber lin, the Russians have been forced back near Bolimow. It is said the Ger mans captured a village and took 4000 prisoners. Russian attacks elsewhere, the German War Office 3erted, were repulsed. The Berlin communication follows: "There have been no new Mevelop- ments along the East Prussian fron tier. - Russian Cavalry Repulsed. "In Poland, north of the Vistula, cav alry onslaughts by the Russians have been repulsed, while south of the Vis lula German attacks at a point east of Bolimow ended with, the occupation of the village of liumin (to the north east). Fighting for possession of Wol-aszy-Lowiezka has been going on since February 1. In these engagements we have taken over 4u0i prisoners and. cap. tured tix machine guns. "Russian attacks at night against the German positions near the Bzura River have been repulsed." It is suggested that Field Marshal von Hindenburg, the German com mander. Is again hammering toward the Poltsh capital with the idea of holding there Emperor Nicholas" crack troops, which otherwise might be transferred to the Carpathians where i lie Russians and Austro-German forces still are fighting in the moun tain passes. Neither side has been able to force the other onto the plains, though the Russians claim to be more than holding their own.

"When the Vice President ruled that the motion to re commit was out of order because a call had been made for the yeas and nays." he said, "I voted against sustaining the ruling of the chair, for the rules of the Senate expressly provided that a motion to recommit can be made at any time before final action in the Sen ate on a bill. I have co-operated with the Democratic caucus in every way to support this measure, and I expect to continue to do so. and I earnestly de sire the legislation passed."

IFRFMH WITHQTANn I IILIIUM iiiiiiumiiu HAMMERING BY FOE Heavy Masses of Germans Re peatedly Return to As sault in Argonne. ATTACKS LAST ALL NIGHT Flaming Kxplosive Hafts Set Adrift Against Positions or Allies in France Are X'cw Weapons of War Used by Invaders. LONDON, Feb. 3. German forces, in heavy masses, have carried on almost an incessant hammering since noon yesterday against the French position near Bagatelle, in the Argonne. The third violent assault within a few hours at this point continued through a good part of last night and was suc cessfully repulsed, according to a re port received tonight from the French War Office. The French official communication was as follows: "There is nothing of particular im portance to report except that in Cham pagne three German attacks were all repulsed to the west of Perthes, north of Mesnil-les-Hurlus and to the north of Massigen. BlaslnsT Rafts Used. "In the Argonne a fresh attack at Bagatelle was repulsed by our troops during the night of February 2-3." Flaming rafts, loaded with explosives, are new engines of warfare the Ger mans are using against the allies on the western battlefront in Kurope. These floats are set adrift in the stream, as they were in the River Ancre yester day, with the explosive timed to de tonate when abreast of the enemy's po sitions. Paris reports the rafts used because the conliict on land has practi cally become a deadlock, with the con tending forcsfacing one another a few yards apart and unable to move with out severe losses have so far been de stroyed before they did any damage. The I'rench War Office earlier today- issued a report as follows: "In the country north of Lys there is nothing to report.- Artillery Fire Successful. "Between, the Lys and Oise, in the sector of Nouvette, west of Lens, French batteries put an end to a spir ited fusillade from the enemy. The Germans endeavored to float down the Kiver Ancre some blazing rafts, start ing them from a point above Avelilly, north of Albert. We were successful, however, in stopping these lloats before they exploded. "Our artillery has continued to secure excellent results in the Valley of the Aisne. We have made slight progress, have taken prisoners and repulsed a counter attack west of Hill No. 200, near Perthes. "In the Argonne a second German at tack took place yesterday near Baga telle at about 6 o'clock in the evening. This also was repulsed, as had been the attack previously reported, and which took place at 1 o'clock in the after noon. "The front from the Meuse to the Vos&es has been quiet In. Alsace we are organizing our forces on the ground won by us to the south of Ammertzy viller." The German army headquarters' re port of today said: "The attacks made by the French on the German positions near Perthes have been repulsed. On the remainder of the western battle front there was yesterday nothing more than artillery exchanges." CHEMICAL CLUB TO MEET Sessions to Be at Corvallis During Industrial Conference Week.

Chat No. 5. We all like the sensational, the bizarre, the unusual It is a characteristic we cannot possibly avoid. That is the reason I have selected for the latter part of this week at the STAR THEATER until Saturday night one of the most gripping photo-plays I have ever seen. It is "The House of Fear," and once you see it you will never forget it. Daring, intense realism makes "The House of Fear" perhaps the most sensational dramatic photo-play ever produced. I can recommend it to those who desire thrills that just WILL chase themselves down your spine as they did down mine. Our old friend Sydney Ayres is at the Star in "Her, Bargain." Ayres is very real. You will enjoy seeing him in the star part. He wrote the scenario himself. Don't forget that we have winsome Marguerite Clark till Saturday at the PEOPLES in "The Goose Girl." Of course you'll be at the Peoples next week, beginning Sunday, to see Mary Pickford in "Mistress Nell." My next chat will be in Saturday's Oregonian. John F. Cordray SUFFERING SERBIA STILL UNDAUNTED 'Something to Defend, Some thing to Reclaim," Motto of Fighting Force. KINSMEN" TO BE HELPFUL Flans Go Forward Kapidly for Of fense Movement Wliich People Hone Koumanla Will Share. Whole Nation Is Proud. SKOPTLE, Serbia, Jan. 16. (Corre spondence of the Associated Press.) Serbia, once the focal point of the Eu ropean war, but later almost lost to view in the maelstrom which swept the greater powers into the struggle, gives ample evidence of having borne her just proportion of the sacrifices of the nations. Suffering on all sides is intense. But the spirit of the troops is undaunted. Since the recent defeat of the Aus trians freed Serbian soil of invaders plans have rapidly gone forward for the next move in the great game of war the orrensive. nunoreaa m wounded soldiers in the hospitals have told the correspondent of the Associa ted Press that they feel their second life nurnose will be lost' if they are unable to help in the deliverance of their kinsmen on Austro-ttunganan territory. The Serbian offensive will be shared by the Russians and the hope is expressed here and at Aish that Roumanian troops also will be in the column hurled across the Hungarian frontier. . , Pore Serbs Return as Prisoners. The motto of the Serbian army is "Something to defend; something to re claim." The something to defend was the independence of their kingdom. The something to reclaim is that part of the ancient Serbian empire which, even after the victories over the Turks and Bulgars, still lies outside the limits of the Serbian kingdom. The traveler in Serbia is somewhat dazed at first to discover among the prisoners of war a large percentage of Serbs of. the purest race and tongue. Living in Austrian territory, they were forced to serve in that army until a surrender gave them the opportunity to serve their own country. Some are helping in the military hospitals, while others are doing scout and picket duty along the Albanian border. Lying far beyond the European war center, Serbia seemed a difficult desti nation for a Journey beginning at New York, but experience proved easier than anticipation. Belgrade, the front door of the Balkans, was impossible, indeed, but Salonika, the back door, was found hospitably open. Signs of "Wsr Are Many. With Paris easily attained, the rail journey from there to Brindisri, via Turin and Milan, differed little from what It might have been in ordinary times. The crowds' of uniformed sol diers at the stations and the remark able number of women in mourning, however, gave evidence of the changes of the past few months. Swift little Italian steamers make the Journey from Brindisi to Salonika an enjoyable one. ending always with an inspiring view of Mount Olympus, upon which the Greek peasants still believe the ancient gods Bit in judgment over the fate of G re e re el ee 11. comfortable, first-class cars take the traveler from Salonika, to Djejeli. at the Serbian frontier. A change of trains at this point brings no deterioration In railroad facilities. These trains are daily crowds! with Serbians of the better class, who left their homes in the interior durins tie Austrian invasion. Dot are returnicg to theci assured ft is safe to do so.

KJtalW S ouded by BjoW.. In on of the smaller rooms of' this hospital, where the worst caes w-ere confined, lay a child, about $ old, bound in bandages almost from head to foot. The peasant mother- sat by its side. The child, it seemed., had been struck with the cross of an Aus trian rausket and its shoulder had been pierced by a bayonet. The.motner had escaped to the woods with the wounded child in her arms and had w-andered about for three or four W before coming within the Serbian linea. This same mother had lost husband, father and brother in the early fighting. Despite Serbia's many wars, the present struggle brought for the firt time an invasion of Serbian soil. Jt was the first time the women of the country had been brought in contact with actual warfare and many of them have been driven mad from fright and the terrible scenes they have seen. Along the railroad line from Djejeli to Skopyle (formerly Uskub) the sta tions are crowded with refugees wom en, children and decrepit old men, huddled together. Many refugees tn this part of the country are without shelter, most of the available buildings having been given over to the wounded. American' Work Invaluable. In the party of doctors and nurses taken out of to Serbia last November by Lady Paget was an American, Mr. Markoc. whose father and grandfather were New York surgeons. This party arrived in time to care for the thou sands of wounded Serbians and Aus trian prisoners sent down from the front in the battles which drove the Austrians from Belgrade. Every avail able space in the general hospital was filled with straw. As many as three persons slept under one blanket. Lady Paget's party, which had taken charge of the general hospital here, consisted of more than 50 persons, surgeons, nurses, orderlies and servants. Their work is regarded by the Serbians as invaluable. If it were not for the pitiable suf ferings of the thousands of homeless people, seen everywhere, who do not beg, but sit around in wretched groups, mutely enduring their misery. It might be said that Skopyle wears a gala air, so proud are the Serbians of the recent victories of their army. LAKE VESSELS ICEBOUND TWKXTV STK.AMERs HliLD FAST ON CHICAGO.MILWAI'KRE I.fXE.

Clyne, United States District Attorney, an nounced today that he was investigat ing: the rise in the price of wheat and other cereals, but declined to tndtcato what action he purposed taking". He said that there is a much smaller amount of wheat in Chicago at pres ent than there has been at any tlino In several weeks. Subpenas for representatives of three of the largest grain companies and elevator concerns to bring in their books and records of business tran sactions covering several months were ordered issued by the District Attor ney today. "There are 1,250,000 bushels of wheat in Chicago today, if my investigation is correct." Mr. Clyrie said. "Last year at this time there were between 8.000. 000 and 10,000,000 bushels of wheat tn Chicago. These figures do not mean anything unless it is granted that the conditions last year and this year are the same. That question is a debat able one. There are 15,000,000 bushels of wheat in Milwaukee and a large amount has been shipped to the East. "I am sure that I know the amounts of wheat in all the central markets.
