OF WAR
Of GREAT POWERS
FORWARD MOVEMENT OF THE
ALLIES CONTINUES, ACCORD
ING TO FRENCH REPORTS.
The German Rush TO Warsaw Appears
to Have Been Checked, Russians
Claiming to Have Beaten
Back invaders.

The long expected attempt by the
allies to advance seems to be under
way in Belgium, and IL full credence
is to be given the official reports, i'm.
portant gains have been made by the
French, British and Belgians
From Newport, says the French Of.
fetal statement, the Franco-Belgian
troops have debouched and occupied
the line from the west of Lombaert.
zyde to the farm of st. Georges LON.
baertzyde lies about one and one-hali
and st. Georges is about one mile
southeast Of Newport. This opera.
ton, therefore, has given them line
running virtually a mile to the east
of Newport and extending almost
north and south for a distance OF
about two miles
Similarly the French report gains
along three-mile line from Harle
beke to Wytschaete, to the south OF
Ypres, against which city German at
tacks of violent nature were being
directed almost necessarily a few
days ago.
Further to the east there has been
a gain of nearly third of mile in
the direction of Kleinzillebeke.
The French war Office admits the
success of the German infantrymen in
gaining a foothold at Steinbach in AL.
SAGE, although declaring that the
French still hold the heights overlook
ing that place.
In Russian Poland the Russians
claim continued success in Miawa re-
gion, but report large forces Of Ger
mans concentrating on the left bank
of the Vistula, with the arrival of Ger
man reinforcements along the front
For two days there has been fierce
fighting in the neighborhood of Lo.
wiez, each side alternating in taking
the aggressive.
Regarding these operations, Berlin
announces that owing to the numeri-
cal superiority of the Russians, the
German column which had advanced
from Soldau, East Prussia, by way OF
Miawa, in the direction of Ciechanow
has had to reoccupy its old positions
That Warsaw, which has been the
Germans objective for weeks past, is
not particularly disturbed over the
outlook is indicated by dispatches
rom the Polish capital which de.
scribe the city as gaily decorated,
crowded with shoppers and pervaded
with the Christmas holiday spirit.
Though the Austrians have been
forced to withdraw from Belgrade and
now occupy only very small section
of Servia, they balance against this
strong offensive in western Galicia
which they declare has compelled the
Russians to retreat and resulted in.
the capture of $1,000 prisoners.
Every casualty list carries the
names of men of distinguished family
who have fallen or who are in the
hands of "the enemy" Word now
comes that the son of the former
French premier, Louis Barthou, has
died from wounds received at the
front, and that son of the imperial
German chancellor, DR.. Won Beth.
mann-Hollweg, has been wounded and
is a prisoner among the Russians.

DECLARES SHERMAN LAW
HAS PROVEN EFFECTIVE
Former Attorney General Wicker
sham Points Out Results In Two
Notable Cases.

New York--George w. Wicker
sham, former attorney general OF the
United States, In an address before
the Nassau County Bar association
Saturday night. said that the division
of the Standard OIL and tobacco com.
pnnies under the Sherman law had
been effective. despite the belief Of
many 10 the contrary
Mr.. Wickersham said that undue
confidence in the immediate results
OF antitrust legislation had blinded
the public TO what had really been
accomplished against monopolistic
corporations.
When the Standard OIL and tobac-
co companies were divided" he said.
"the fact that the same persons were
stockholders In all OF the distributed
corporations was used TO support the
contention that the dissolution was
not real.
But these companies were separ.
nted and forbidden by the court to
combine anew. and In the case of the
tobacco companies forbidden TO have
common officers, common directors
or common agents
II said at the time of the dissoIu.
tion that those facts inevitably
would lead to further severance OF
interest"
