Carranza has referred back to the

the same question to the convention

yesterday.

this part of Belgium will enable the

transpired.
The fighting, from all accounts, is
as stubborn as in any stage Of the war
thus far. Every foot Of the battle
ground in west Flanders is contested.
Every advantage is taken and re
taken The rushing tactics which
Echaracterized the first campaign are
being repeated and both sides say they
regularly repulse these onslaughts.
Judging from the French official
communication, the allies have acquir-
ed a holding habit which was lack
ing in the earlier stages of the war,
wien they we're admittedly in, a state
Of unpreparedness. The reticency of
the German intelligence department
largely battles the attempts Of un-
biased observers to gauge the actual
situation, which when Berlin is heard
from, may assume an entirely differ
ent aspect.
A rumor comes from Ostend by way
Of Holland that the allies have sue
ceeded in blowing up the railroad be
tween Brueges and Ghent. It is quite
possible, itais stated here, that eaval-
ry scouts already are in that vicinity.
Stories differ as to the fate of Prince
Macmillan of Hesse, whose body is
reported to have been found in north

report from Berlin states that the
prince was wounded 4s

SHERIFF GARRETT
GETS THE WATCH


Sheriff Buck Garrett was informed
by citizen of the city last June that
a valuable gold watch, a present from
friend in Glasgow, Scotland, had
been stolen from his residence with the
request to use his best efforts in re.
storing it to the owner if possible.
The owner had given up all hopes
Of ever seeing the watch again when
it was handed to him this morning by
the sheriff who had located it in Okla
homa City. The works had been taken
from the watch case and disposed Of
to another party but when the sheriff
secured the case he was not long in
locating the original works and the
watch is now in the possession of the
owner intact.
Buck Garrett doesn't make much
noise about his operations but when
once he gets on the trail of a thief,
said thief had just as well surrender
himself and plunder.

resistance before infantry attacks,
and in isolated spots, attacks in
force. According to the French and
British reports, all these have been
repulsed
The Anglo French forces, which
have been holding the territory
around Ypres, have been again sub
jected to determined attacks. Fresh
German troops have attempted to
force the allies out of their trenches,
task which the Prussian Guard, a
few days previously, failed to accom-
plish.
As was the case with the Prussian
Guard, the Germans who made the
latest effort appear to have taken
the first line of trenches, but, like
the Guards, found themselves attack
ed on the fanks and were compelled
to give back the ground gained after
holding it for a short time.
Both sides, as shown by the cas-
ualty lists of the officers, are losing
heavily in the fighting but the Ger
mans, on the offensive, are so often
enfiladed after success was nearly at
hand, are said to have suffered enor-
mously.

dashing charges, have been utilized
again to dslodge the Germans from
position near BiXschoote over which
there has been much fighting, and
according to the French communi-
cation, they have again beeD success
full.
These incidents are merely exam
pies of what has been occurring in
northern France, along the Aisne
valley. around Rheims, in the Ar
gonne forest and on the banks of the
river Meuse. First one side and then
the other gains an advantage, but
when all is told the general situa-
ton remains about as it was.
Reports come from France that the
Germans are preparing to make an
other attempt to get through TO the
coast by way of La Bassee, but like
the rumor that they are preparing for
a retreat, there is no confirmation.
In the east the Germans and Aus
trians have turned after their retreat
from the Vistula to face the Russians
in east Prussia, in Poland and before
Cracow Each of these regions prob
ably will provide a big battle, but
the most important will be that in
Poland. where the Germans are send
ing their strongest and best armies
in the hope of smashing the Russian
center. This would compel the Rus
SLAMS to fall back again to the Wis
tula and relieve Silesia from the i'm
mediate danger of invasion.
Concerning the fighting in the Bal
kans and the near East, only scraps
of information are reaching the out
side world
