Russians Declare AusIrians and

Troops Pressing Them
WEDGE is DRIVEN
BETWEEN ARMIES
Flanking Movement is Failure and
Warsaw Declared No Longer
in Danger Austrians
Claim Successes
BY United Presa.

BY United Press.
Petrograd, Dec 29-The combined
Austrian and German offensive has
been turned into stubborn defensive
movement, with the Russians pressing
them with wedges at several points.
Warsaw is no longer menaced by the
invaders, it is positively declared here.
1t is stated that the Austrians tried
thanking movement along the Biala
river north of Tarnow, in conjunction
with the German force which is oper-
ating northward, but failed in their
efforts.
After reports brought by aviators
had confirmed information concerning
the plans of the enemy, a Russian
army of more than one hundred thou
sand men rushed south and attacked
the Austrians, driving wedge be-
tween them and the main Austrian
armies and completely thwarting their
object.
The following statement from the
general staff of the Russian command
er in chief was issued Monday night:
"On the 9th there was an import
ant engagement between the lower
vistula and the Pilica rivers. The Ger
man attacks we're everywhere repuls-
ed The Germans suffered heavy
losses during vain attack they made
to the southeast of Skierniewice.
Between the Pilica and the upper
vistula the enemy has not adopted the
defensive.
Our troops stormed the village of
Szitniki, which was stubornly defend
ed. 1t wes definitely evacuated to
the left bank of the river
ITO the south of the upper yistula
on the front of Opatowa-Biecz, the
fighting continues to develop to our ad-
vantage. The 18th to the 26th we cap
tured $4,000 soldiers and 200 officers
and forty-two mitrailleuses.
"The enemy's retreat in the region
of the Dukla is becoming more and
more precipitous and disorganized On
the 26th we captured in this region as
many as 5000 prisoners.
"The efforts of the enemy to trans
port his forces from the direction of
Czenstochowa toward the Carpathians
was a complete failure owing to our
maneuvers."

Enthuse over RrItIsh RaId.

London, Dec. 29.--English newspa-
pers are enthusiastic over the raid by
their cruisers and seaplanes on Cux-
haven. They decline to accept with
out reservation the German statement
that ships at Cuxhayen and the gas
works we're hit by bombs, but that no
damage was done and consider this
improbable.
The naval experts dilate and specu-
late lavishly upon the most remark
able engagement of the twentieth cen
tury warfare. They conclude that the
German ships feared to come forth
and give battle to the British cruisers
because of the uncertainty as to wheth'
er the British battleships we're lurk'
ing behind them. The fact that the
Zeppelins were driven OF is taken py
some as evidence that the zeppelins
are really untrustworthy craft. Others

1t is argued by some of the writers
that If Cuxhayen can thus be attacked
why not Heligoland. Wilhelmshaven
and even the Kiel canal?
The only damage the British expe

eral hydroplanes, costing $4,000, Will

Small Percent Of
Staple 10 the Field

That the cotton crop of Grady county
is in with the exception about Is per
cent, is the opinion of local cotton men.
Though, according to the opinion,
there are only about 450 bales in the
field, the middle or last of February
will arrive before the last of the 1914
crop is in. This is based on the idea
that during January and February the
weather will be such that the work in
the field will be delayed.
Up to the present time the Moore
gin has received 1908 bales. In com
parison with last years receipts at
this time, the 1914 receipts are nearly
100 per cent greater, the figure in 1919
at this date being S29 bales. At that
time, however, there we're two gins
operating here.
BY inquiries from the farmers bring
ing cotton to the local gin, AIR. kenne
dy. the manager, has arrived at an es
innate of the amount Of cotton yet II
the fields. He states that there is ye
to be gathered an estimate Of $50 bales
but much Of this will be lost, owing K
the recent rains and the fact tina
many of the tenant farmers will leav'
their places for new farms on Januar'
/. The estimate he places there at 30
bales now outstanding.

WILL HOLD
BRITAIN
TO ACCOUNT
By United Press


Washington, Dec. 29--The United
States intends after the war ends to
hold Great Britain to strict account for
any violation of the rights of Ameri-
can shipping ana financial restitution
will be demanded.
President Wilson made this clear to-
day in discussing the blanket protest
to Great Britain against the transgres-
sion Of Americas maritime rights.
The president said this was not a
threat but was merely putting the shoe
on the other foot, applying the rules
which England has heretofore insist
ed on in times when other nations
were at war and her own trade was
affected.
The note that was sent is still un-
answered but no danger OF serious
break between the two countries is
considered.
