In Fierce and Stubborn
Frontal Engagement.
The Cars Troops Are Being
Pursued Everywhere.

London, Dec. 17.-One of the greatest
victories of the war is claimed today
by Germany. The Berlin official state
ment contains these words: 1.-The Rus
sian offensive against Silesia and Posen
has completely broken down. In the
whole of Poland the enemy was forced
to retreat after fierce and stubborn
frontal battles and is being .'ursued ev-
erywhere.' A semi-official statement
from Berlin speaks confidently of the
Situation in the east and says the Aus
trians appear to have achieved their
first actual successes against the Rus
sans in the last few days in western
Galicia.
Petrograd admits the German flank
ing movements threaten the Russian
lines of cOmmunicat ton and it has been
necessary tor the Russians to draw
back their lines in certain sections. but
it gives no intimation Of such reverses
as are reported from Berlin.
The great battle In the west which is
being carried on most fiercely in Bel
gium and northwestern France is the
subject of conflicting claims. The Ger
man war office announces the allies
have made new attacks but they have
been beaten back with heavy losses.
The French statement says several Ger
man trenches in Belgium have been
captured by infantry assaults and at
other points to the south and east the
artillery of the allies has done effec-
tive work

WILL HAVE Gas
All the Trouble Of the Kansas
Natural Settled.
Everybody Interested Enters
Into an Agreement.

independence. Kan, Dec. IA
complete agreement by which the
Kansas Natural Gas company will
continue in operation under the state
a conference between the receivers,
representatives of the state of Kansas
and the creditors of the company.
All the creditors agreed not to force
settlement of their claims against the
company for six years and in turn ev-
cry creditor will receive the full
amount of his investment and interest
The plan as adopted was proposed by
Judge Flannelly of the Montgomery
county court, by whom the state re-
ceiverS for the company were ap-
pointed.
Representative of all the creditors Of
the company were present at the meet
ing. 1t was agreed to call an early
meeting of stockholders to ratify the
gatherings action.
Under the agreement every creditor
surrenders all of his immediate claims
and securities to and beyond six years.
Thus the Kansas Natural will be left
a going concern in the hands of the
state receivers. The stock of the COM
pany immedia tely is to be reduced to a
point where, with the debts and claims
against the plant it will represent the
actual physical valuation of the prop
erty.
The meeting agreed to permit the
receivers to set aside fund out of
the money now on hand and out OF
future earnings for extensions and
betterments and to enable the receiv-
ers to provide an adequate supply of
gas for all consumers. The confer
ence decided to continue the receivers
until the first lien holders are fully
paid at the end of which time the
second mortgage bondholders and
stockholders will determine as to the
future continuance of the receivers.
Officials who attended the meeting
said the agreement solved all the
problems of the Kansas Natural Gas
company and predicted an early end
to the gas troubles of the cities OF
Kansas supplied by the concern.

especially in Flanders, the roles of
the contending armies would appear

All the recent official communications
issued by both the allies and the Ger

YpreS to the sea. Consequently the
Germans are on the defensive.
A British squadron is still standing
off the coast and has aided the at

nowhere has marked progress been
