London, Dec. 22.-Heavy fighting is
taking place on both the eastern and
western fronts in the European war,
but without producing any material
change in the situation. The allies
offensive is being pressed in France
and Belgium and while some ground
has been gained at widely separated
points, other attacks have been re-
pulsed by the Germans.
In the northern area on the western
front Of the allies, the artillery of
warships yesterday took up the bat
tie, giving the infantry a rest. Lower
down the line and from the Disc to
the Meuse fierce infantry fighting took
place in many districts. While the
progress of the allies Is slow, military
experts here and in France believe
the gains reported are disturbing the
German system of Notifications at
vital points and if successfully con-
tinued will compel the retirement OF
the Germans from their present lines.
In the east most Of the Germans
north of the Vistula have retired
across the East Prussian frontier be-
fore the Russian onrush. South of the
river, however, between Bzura and Pi-
ilc1a, the Germans continue to ad-
vance. 1t was announced tonight that
in q fierce battle they have crossed
the Bzura and Rawka rivers at many
places. If this is confirmed it should
bring the main armies close together
and a few days will tell whether the
German advance will be definitely
checked or whether the Germans again
will threaten Warsaw
The fighting also continues in Ga
licia. but here as along the East Prus-
sian frontier the Russians seem to
have held back the Austro- German
forces.
The Germans, who are in extremely
strong force along the whole eastern
front, are reported already to be NOV
ing troops back west to meet the al
lies offensive. 1t is not considered
likely, however, that this movement
will reach large proportions until a
decisive result is attained in the Rus
sian contest.
The Turks are being attacked on
two sides. The Russians claim to
have severely defeated them in the
Van District and the allied fleet has
been bombarding the Kilid base in
the Dardanelles. A French destroyer
has shelled the Turkish troops on the
mainland opposite the Island of Te-
nedos.
The first real view of the extent
of the South African rebellion was
given by the minister justice. He says
that four thousand rebels are in prison
and one thousand, two hundred have
been paroled. There are still a few
scattered bands, but without leaders
and surrender when union forces ap-
pear.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

New York, Dec. 22.-William Ira
vers Jerome was unprepared today to
say when legal machinery for the ex-
tradition of Harry K rhaw from New
Hampshire would be put in motion. He
indicated he had reason to believe
Thaw's attorneys would start new ha-
beas corpus proceedings in New
Hampshire and that he feared it
might be a long time before Thaw
saw the inside of the Tombs where ~
is planned to keep him pending his
trial on the charge of conspiracy to
escape from Matteawan.
1t was pointed out to Mr. Jerome
today that once removed to the
Tombs that Thaw might be admitted
TO bail.

Jerome, ''the superintendent Of Mat
teawan will Immediately present a de-
tanned under which Thaw will be
taken to Matteawan as an insane man
to await his trial
"If he is convicted I presume he viii
serve out such sentence as is imposed
upon him, whereupon the detainer
consisting of his original commitment
to Matteawan having been fled at his

Los Angeles, Dec. 22.-William

Sub b-Committee on Naval
Affairs Urges Appro-
priation of $1,OOO.OOO
MEASURE PROBABLY
PASS AS REPORTED
If it Does the Amount Will
Be Expended for Equip
ment and Various Types
of Flying Machines at the
Aeronautic School of the
Navy at Pensacola.

The house CUB committee on naval
several weeks the preparedness Of the
United States for war and at the same
time preparing the coming naval ap-
propi iation bill for passage by this
session Of congress, has included in
the measure an appropriation of ST.
100000 for aeronautics in the navy.
1t Is very likely that the bill as
recC mmended by this subcommittee
viii. be passed by congress, as it will
come from the committee with the en-
6orsen1ent of the administration lead
ers and the sentiment for more flying
machines for the navy is very strong.
1t is q practical certainty that the
will not be decreased,
but may be increased as the general
bo6Id o. the navy has recommended
ar appropriation of not less than $5,-
Geo 900.
The action Of the committee IS
of particular interest to citizens OF
Pensacola, for the reason that the
81 ,C00,O0O will be spent for equipment
and flying machines for the aero
nauti' school at Pensacola, and 1t is
possible the yard will be equipped
for the construction of machines by
the navy, as the private companies
now building aeroplanes Of the vari-
Gus types, are unable to supply the
demand.
In fact those acquainted with the
aims of the navy department believe
that the navy yard in another year
will be the scene of as much activity
and it would had been placed in ac-
tive commission as a repair station
for war vessels
