Denver.-Allison Stocker. state
sreasurer-elect. favors a reduction Of
the salary of the office which he will
soon occupy. The salary is now s6.-
300. which is $1,000 more than the
governor receives. 1t was increased

chief executive In order that those
who become treasurer might meet the
expenses of the s1,O00,0OO bonds re-

the salary reduced to $1,000 and would
have the state government pay the

Summary Of Events.)

Berlin is celebrating the news
from Poland of what is termed
"one of the greatest victories in
history" Berlin headquarters
announces that the Russians have
been clearly beaten and that the
Russian offensive against Silesia
and Posen had been broken. A
general retreat of the Russians in
Poland, with the Germans in pur-
suit, is reported.
In contradistinction to this, the lat
est official bulletin issued at Petro-
grad declares that the Russian cavalry
and vanguard troops ''are chasing en-
ergetically the beaten Germans" in
the direction of Mlawa.
Both sides lay claim to the capture
of prisoners, the Germans to a very
large number of them.
Big Battle Near Warsaw.
A great battle is in progress at
Sochaczow. thirty miles west OF War
saw. The German wedge, which is
proceeding in a southeasterly direc-
tion from How in which serious
losses are reported to have been in
fiicted. to establish itself quarter
OF mile west of Sochaczow. The
Polish campaign now centers at that
point.
The German column was met at
Sochaczow by fierce resistance on the
part of the Russians. The fighting
was extremely severe, at points lead
ing to hand to hand encounters. Ar
,illery fire on both sides was heavy
and continuous. German aeroplanes
are constantly circling over the town.
Austrians Capture $1,000.
The Austrians have succeeded in
again crossing the Carathians, and.
according to their account, are driving
the Russian left back toward the River
San. This army, assisted by German
reinforcements, has undertaken the
rather difficult task of forcing the Rus
sians-to withdraw from in front of Cra-
COW and also OF relieving Phyzemysl.
The Austrians apparently have met
with at least partial success.
An official communication issued at
Vienna says the Austrian offensive in
Western Galacia has compelled the
enemy to retreat and his front in
South Poland to waver. Austrian
troops, advancing from the south,
reached Jaslo and Rajbrot. In this
advance and the last battle they took
thirty-one thousand Russian prisoners.

The Turks, considerably reinforced

the result that the Turkish forces are

The French Claim Progress.

on the offensive from the coast to La
Bassee and at various other points
along the front. While not very
marked advances are reported the
French claim to have made some prog
ress and to be holding the ground
they gained during the preceding
days.
Allies Push Offensive.
The offensive movement OF the
French and British has become gem
eral and is being pushed with strong
forces. particularly in Flanders, the
Argonne, the Woevre and Alsace.
While the French claim to have been
successful at all points except at
Steinbach, in Alsace, the German Off
cial report says the Allies attacks
have been unsuccessful at several
places.
On the whole, however. it would ap-
pear that the Allies, who now have
superiority in numbers as well as In
artillery, have succeeded in making
some progress and have withstood Wig
orous counter attacks delivered by the
Germans.
Germans Will Resist.
The fact that the Allies are in pos
session of Hollebecke, in Flanders,
and that heavy fighting was going on
again shows that they have made an
appreciable advance in the last few
days. as last week they were being at
tackled by the invaders two miles to
the west of st. Eloy. which is on the
Ypres-Armentieres Road.
II is evident that while the Germans
are prepared to offer stubborn resist
ance to attempted advances in the re-
gions mentioned in the official com
munications they expect the main at
tack of the Allies to be made in an
other direction or are themselves pre-
pairing for an offensive. for they have
gathered considerable forces at Cour-
trai, from which point they could be
quickly transferred either to Flanders
or southward across the French from

Washington Jan. 1S.--Congress has
much business to transact before it
undertakes consideration of antitrust
legislation concerning which President
Wilson will address it on Tuesday
and it is the aim Of Democratic lead
ers to shorten the session as much as
possible.
With the Congressional campaign
coming next fall the majority leaders
are insistent that all legislative bust
ness be disposed Of before July l at
the latest, in order that every man
can he in his district to fight for re-
tention of a Democratic majority in
both houses of the next Congress
President Wilson as the leader of
the dominant party is as eager as the
.chieftans in to Congress to shorten
the session as much as possible and
all are pulling together to expedite
legislative matters.
Conference on a legislative program
will be held in the near future 1t Is
practically certain that appropriation
bills and many other important mat
ters will be out of the way before the
trust program is ready.
Among the most important matters
pending are the Alaskan railroad Dill
which will pass the Senate next
THURSDAY; rural credit legislation to
be undertaken by the banking and
currency committee soon; regulation or
Stock Exchanges as proposed In the
Owen bill. upon which public hearings
are to begin Feb. and the Panama

All proposed legislation, 1t is now
practically agreed, cannot be crowoeo
through at this time, but what pllis
are to be side tracked has not oeeh
determined and this will be the SUD
tect of legislative conferences between
marty leaders and the President as the

London, Jan. 18.-The work of the

The Americans have been unsuccess-
full in their contentious as to the num-
Der of men manning each ship. The
European delegates voted unanimous
ly against the extra equipment sug

confusion would result from great
numbers of sailors in the event of a
crisis.
The adoption of the provision for
RATS aboard ships, against the conten-
ton of the Americans was carried.
The Americans, however, forced the
concession that never more than one

consist of RATS, and two-thirds or
more should always consist of life

unqualifiedly opposed by the American
delegates who also opposed the pro-
posal that all disputes be sent to the
international court of arbitration at
The Hague.

Summary Of Administration Pro-

Washington, Jan. 1S.-President Will
son today put the finishing touches
on the message dealing with antitrust
reform which he will read to a joint
session of Congress Tuesday.
The message will be the opening ut
terance by the administration on the
scope of legislation which it believes
should be enacted promptly not only
to correct those evils in modern bust
ness generally deprecated by public
opinion, but to construct a system of
government assistance that would
stimulate business enterprise and de-
velopment.
The President in pointing the way
to legislation On specific phases of the
trust question, intends to emphasize
the necessity for a friendly spirit in
Congress in approaching the task. He
wishes the business men of the coun-
try to be assured of the administra-
tons intention to welcome suggestion
and common counsel and to afford
those affected by the proposed legis-
lation ample time to adjust them
selves to new laws and conditions. In
this with this attitude the President
favors public hearings on the admin
istration bills when they are pre-
pared. He opposed hearings on the tar
III and currency measures as he be-
lieved Congress and the country had
made up it's mind on the details and
