ments Says Official.
or ~ssoeiATlp raGss,

BERLIN, by wireless, Dec. 8.-An
official OF the German general stan
states that the report from Rome
that the French, near Ypres. had
captured whole corps of German
aviators is absolutely unfounded.
The Russian statement contained
in the official communication of No
yember 20 that the German attack
near Czenstochowa had failed with
heavy losses is declared to be untrue.
On the contrary 1t is said the Seven
teenth Russian army corps, which
was met in this attack was defeated.
The Russians left large number Of
killed and wounded in the battle
fields.
The situation in the western bat
tlefelds shows little change, 1t Is
stated. The allies are said to have
made few attacks but these have
been repulsed.
News Of decisive results in the east
is expected here. The latest report
from Headquarters asserts that
everything is proceeding according to
program and this is taken here to
mean that the operations thus far
have been successful.

While the president dealt briefly upon
the subject his words were Interpret

important business legislation was
contemplated. AS to business legis-

Our program OF legislation with

I'm the region of Arras a very bril-

for nearly two months the scene OF
desperate fighting. The enemy had
taken footing there on October s and
from October 81 to October % sue

locality. From the 25th OF October,
sapping and mining operations
brought US back until we were again
in close contact and on the first of
December we. reoccupied the park
and the chateau of Vermelles. In
the region OF the Aisne and in Cham
payne there have been some artillery
engagements and our heavy artillery

MILEAGE RATE
NOW IS HIGHER
On All Railroads in Central
Territoryand Green Books
Are Issued.

Higher rates on railroads in the
Central Passenger Association ter
itory have become effective. ALI the
old mileage books left in local Offices.
which are included in the territory,
were sent to headquarters yesterday
and instead Of the familiar old yellow
mileage books. green ones are being
distributed among patrons.
According to the new rates, two
and a fourth cents a mile will be
charged on all Interstate travel in
the Central Passenger Association
territory. Mileage books are sold
for the same price, $25, but there
will only be rebate of $3.50 instead
of SIS as formerly. The former
books were issued with a basis of .
cents mile.
AS there has been rush for the
old mileage books before the new
rates became effective, 1t is expected
that sales will be light for some time
to come as all the regular travellers
have stocked up. More mileage
books have been sold here In the last
three months than for years back;
the reason being the raises In both
east and central rates.

WRIT REFUSED
And Auditor Darst is Not Com

company for failure to comply with
the rulings. It is q farmers mutual

GERMANY'S TROOPS
SCORE MOST POINTS
In the Great Struggle in Poland
Which is Reported as Still
in Progress.

LONDON, Dec. S.-While the al
lied armies in the west CROPPED TIER
way forward cautiously graphing
with the Germans here and there for
slight advantages, the great struggle
in Poland continues with the Ger
mans, for the time being, apparently
scoring the most points.
Russia has not yet fully conceded
the occupation of LODI but in view Of
the repeated German claims and the
Russian admission OF the reforma-
ton of her battle line there it would
seem that the German center has
achieved this goal. upsetting what
for time was hailed as decisive
Russian victory. The capture of
Lodz will threaten the Russian line
OF communication with Warsaw, that
Is to say the great arterial railway
which runs diagonally across Poland
to the Polish capital. Details of the
battle are still lacking and it re-
mains to be seen whether the Ger
mans will be able to make a further
advance. This qualification is made
even in Berlin, where 1t Is pointed
out .editorially that the Germans
must follow the retreating Russians
relentlessly if they would relieve the
pressure around Cracow and on the
East Prussian frontier. The opin-
ion is expressed by military critics
here that the Russians may merely
fall back on their entertainments to
the rear and remain on the defensive
while the left and right wings re-
spectiyely batter Cracow and harass
East Prussia.
Whether the German achievements
in Poland have been accomplished
by means of bringing up re-enforce
ments from the western battlefront
is a matter of considerable debate.
A despatch from Petrograd says II
has been learned authoritatiyely
there that the Germans transferred
six army corps and five cavalry di-
visions from the west to the east but
there has been SO much COMPOUNDED
speculation as to the movement of
German troops that all reports OF this
nature must be discounted. It 81
true that the tendency OF the Ger
mans in the west has been inclining
more toward the defensive but Lon
don papers caution the public that
there is nothing to indicate that the
German forces have been weakened
seriously by shifts of troops to the
east.
The lighting in Poland has been
different from that which has taken
place anywhere else in the war area
since the outbreak OF hostilities. In
the west the allies have always been
able to hold their ground after an
advance but the praent recapture of
Lodz makes the third invasion of
Poland since the war began.

GERMANS CLAIM
SLIGHT PROGRESS
In Flanders Struggle But Bad
Roads Caused by Rains In
terfere with Movement.


BERLIN, by wireless. Dec. g.
The following official statement is
sued by the German headquarters
today says:
"on the coast OF Flanders the bad
conditions Of the roads made worse
by the recent torrential rains is
causing great difficulty to our move
ment of our troops. To the north
OF Arras we have made slight prog
ress. The war hospital at Lissle was
burned down yesterday. This is
probably case of arson. There
were, however. no lives lost.
The statement made by the
French regarding an advance in the
forest of Argonne is not in accord
ance with the facts. For long time
past no French attacks whatever
have taken place there. On the con-
trary we are. continually gaining
ground slowly. The day before yes
court east OF Varennes was captured.
The greater part of the garrison fell
on this occasion. The remaining two
officers and about 10 men were
taken as prisoners. A French attack
on our positions to the north OF
Nancy was resumed yesterday.
NO special reports are at hand
from the East Pruesian frontier. In
northern Poland the German troops
are closely pursuing the retreating
enemy to the east OF Lodz. Besides
the extraordinary large and sanguin-
airy losses reported yesterday the
Russians have lost up to the present
about 1900 prisoners and sixteen
cannon with ammunition carts. In
Southern Poland nothing special has
happened. -
