GERMAN ADVANCE
At A STANDsTILL
KAIsER's NEW ATTEMPT TO CUT
THROUGH CALAIS PAST
ARRAs DEFEATED.
Russians Cross carpathlans-von
MoItke Said To BE Prisoner--Ger-
many Threatens Sweden.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
London-The initial effort of the
Kaiser's new attempt to cut through
to Calais past Arras, where newly
concentrated army of 100000 has been
assembled, was defeated, according to
the official statement Of the French
war office.
Advance guards of the great army,
whose slogan is "On to Calais" were
met and driven back north of Arras.
Three regiments of the German ad-
vance body were thrown out to draw
the fire of the French and British in
the trenches. But the bait was taken
with such energy that the German
troops were hurled back with severe
losses.
1t is also officially said that enor-
nous losses have been inflicted on the
Germans, but no mention is made of
the capture of German divisions, which
has been so freely claimed by the
Petrograd correspondents of London
and Paris papers.
So far, all that is definitely known is
that the German advance has been
brought to a standstill.
Russians Cross Carpathians.
Lemberg, Galicia, via London.-The
Russians appear to have accomplished
the difficult feat of throwing an army
through the Carpathian Mountains
southwest of Lemberg. Fighting in
the Carpathians has been most fero-
cious, being carried on under extraor-
binary difficulties, which were in
creased by the severe cold, the bitter
winds and occasional snowstorms.
Won MoItke Said to Be Prisoner.
London.-A Copenhagen dispatch to
the Daily News asserts that the wife
of General Won Moltke, the German
Chief of Staff, has written to danish
relative that General Won Moltke Is
virtually the lEmperor's prisoner at
one of the palaces in Homburg as a
result of his interference with the
Crown Princes strategic plans on the
Western front.
Germany Threatens Sweden.
London.-The Daily Nails Copenha-
gen correspondent says Germany has
demanded that the Swedish govern
ment suppress unfriendly utterances
against Germany in Swedish newspa-
pers, and has threatened reprisals in
the event of noncompliance.
