All that the public Is permitted to

far the British and French armies
have held their grip on their positions
and have consistently thrown back the
masses Of Germans who have been
bravely and necessarily hurled on
them in an effort to break through the
human barrier.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Inc terrific battle, now IN its
eighteenth day, in the Aisne dis
.tFict to the north Of Paris, con-
tinues to rage, but its violence
eenerally is held to portend 4 de-
cisive result in the near future.
Furious hand-to-hand fighting is
going on and the losses to both
the allied and German armies are
enormous.
Several times the Germans
hurled their masses of troops
against the French left wing, but
in every case they were repulsed,
according to the official state
ment issued by the French war
department this afternoon. In the
center it is asserted a heavy can
nonading is going on, while be-
tween the Argonne forest and the
River Meuse the allies have made
some progress.
The German general staff, Ber-
lin advices say, claims that the
situation on French soil has not
changed, and it is emphatically
denied that the battle at any point
of the line is going in favor OF the
allies.
Galicia has been almost clear
ed of Austrians, according to an
announcement at Petrograd, and
the Russians, crossing the Car
pathian mountains, have entered
Hungary and are driving back the
Austrian reinforcements sent
against them. The invaders
swept across the mountains into
the Unghvar district which is
about 18o miles northeast of
Budapest, the Hungarian capital.
Germans, estimated to number
10000. are reported from Rot
terdam to be preparing for a
siege of the Belgian fortress of
Antwerp. Austrian siege guns
have been brought up to take the
place of the large guns which now
are being used in the fighting in
the French district of Aisne. A
Belgian official communication
states that the heavy artillery
IRE directed at two forts, ten
miles from Antwerp, ceased when
the forts replied to the lombard
ment.

rigibles stretches over a wide area.

Representative Walter irving Mccoy OF
the ninth district Of New Jersey was
nominated today by the President for ap-
pointment to the vacancy on the Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia-the
vacancy caused by the retirement OF JUS
| tice Barnard-that has gone SO long un-
| filed, and for which District Commits
| sioner Siddons has appeared to have been
most strongly favored. Mr.. McCoys
nomination was sent to the Senate this
afternoon.
Strong intimations from sources close
to the White House today were to the
effect that the nomination Of Frederick
L. Siddons, District Commissioner. to
the bench of the Supreme Court Of the
District of Columbia. to succeed Justice
Daniel Thew Wright would go to the
Senate tomorrow. ,s-s
Justice Wright this afternoon denied
that he had rendered his resignation.
and stated further that it is not his
present intention to do SO.
The New Jersey delegation in Con-
gress has consistently and persistent
ly pushed the name of Mr.. Mccoy be-
fore President Wilson and the matter
| reached the point today where the
President came to the conclusion to
name Mr.. Mccoy and settle the matter
Commissioner Siddons. as is known,
has made no fight whatever for the
place. and has not permitted friends
and admirers to put forward any effort
In his behalf. He has taken the ground
that he was appointed as Commits
sioner. to do the important work of his
office, and that he did not wish to be
regarded as wanting to give up that
work, although feeling that the judge
ship would be a great honor II given
| to him without a struggle.
Follows Recommendations.
The President, 1t is known, has a
high regard for Commissioner Siddons.
but has followed the course of depend
ing upon the Department of Justice
| for recommendations for all federal
| judgeships. Almost without exception
| he has stood by these recommends
tions and made the nominations sue-
gested. He has seldom injected his
own choice, and in no case has he done
SO against the wishes of the head OF

that reason has suffered.

WHISPERS OF GRAFT
 AT POLICE STATION
Charges Have Been Pre- ferred Against Minor Of-
 ficial-TO Be Tried Soon

Information leaked out yesterday ferred against one of the minor off, cials of the police department and that a trial of his case will be held with in the next few days. The charge against the man, it is understood. is graft"
 Specific information in the case, it is said, is not given out because no written charges have been preferred and therefore the name of the man affected has been withheld so that no injustice may be done him if the charge should be disproven.
 "A trial will be held. however. Just as soon as some of the parties con- nected with the case return to the city, said Judge A. O. Lane, city commis- sioner. yesterday.
 It is said the case has been insti- tuted by attorneys who practice in the police court
 Officials at the city hall are reticent, but reports are persistent that a trial of the case will involve others who are not yet connected with it. An air of suppressed excitement has lowered over the police department the past week or so. The theft of import ant papers from the desk of Detective lT. &. Street and investigations of two other cases have stirred things up very noticeably. Sessions of the city com mission in conjunction with Chief of Police Eagan, other police officials and witnesses behind closed doors have lent an air of mystery to developments.
