LONDON. Dec. 21-In Poland and
Galicia battles are being fought be-
tween the Russians and the German
and Austrian allies amid deep snow
in bitter cold. In Belgium and aor;h-
ern France the Germans and the
Fre.ch, British and Belgian allies are
contesting to the mud fields, foot by
foot.
No news of any decisive gain came
from either arena today. The Russianc
and Germans are directly contradic-
tory. -.
The Germans in Poland again arc
making a fierce attack toward the
capital and the Russians are opposing
them on the east bank of the Bzura
river, 30 miles west or Warsaw. Grand

The Petiograd official report claims
that the German force in North Po-
land has %retreated acros the boun-
Diary into East Prussia in q northwest

Autrian advance through the Carpa-
THAN passes to the north has been
checked and attempts of the Przemysl
garrison to break through the lines
have been repulsed. According TO this
report the Austrians have been driven
into the Notifications with heavy
slaughter. :.
The Austrian communication claims
successes in the Carpathians but adj
mits that the Russians again occupy
Galicia and South Poland in force.
Apparently, therefore, the Cracow and

REGISTER NOW FOR
TRIP TO FAIR

"Automobilists register now for the
trip from Imperial Valley to San Die
90 on December 81" is becoming a
watchword among Chamber of Com
merce workers all over the county. AL
ready a few auto owners in this To-
cality have signified their willingness
to lend their aid, according to F. E.
Place, secretary of the Imperial Val
ley Chamber of Commerce, but to
make the enterprise complete sue
cess every automobilist in the county
must turn out and boost the PROPOSE
ton.
According to present plans 500 autos
will on December 81 form in process
sion and drive from Ell Centre to San
Diego to attend the opening day of
the Panama Pacific Exposition. In all
probability, 1000 feet of pictures OF
scenes en- route will be taken and
shown in conjunction with Imperial
Valleys exhibit at the fair.
"From below sea level to an alti'
tude of 1000 feet; from perpetual
sunshine and blooming flowers t.
snow, and from desert to seashore
and all in the short space of ever
hours. The pictures will be a big
advertisement for this valley wheH
shown at the exposition and will un'
doubtedly draw many visitors, who

LOdZ Reported Earning.

Petrograd, Dec. THE sanguinary
conflict in Poland continues without
cessation. The fighting goes on night
and day, according to advices today
from the front.
A dispatch from Warsaw says LODI,
prosperous manufacturing city,
about which the hardest fighting has
centered for ten days, is burning. The
war office stated today that no de-
cision had been reached in the great
struggle in Poland, but that German
attacks were made Sunday and We're
repulsed.
(Note: It will be seen from the
above that the Russian war office does
not admit that Lodz has been cap.
tured by the Germans, as reported.

United States is there trip similar

alone is going to prove big help In
inducing tourists to visit the valley"
In order to lay their plans as defi-
nitely as possible, the local Chamber
of Commerce urges all autoists who
intend to accompany the procession to
register now. At present plans are
being made to decorate all machines
which make the trip with pennants
of the exposition's colors monogramed
with "Imperial Valley" Other plans
are being worked out as rapidly as
possible and with the support of pub
lications throughout the county and

Imperial Valley press., 1914-12-07

Evidently the criticism in the val
ley of the attitude of the Los Ange-
les delegation to the river control
conference called by Secretary of the
Interior Lane reached it's mark, for
suddenly messages came from Los
Angeles Saturday evening to the dele
gates appointed by the Irrigation Dis
trict board that a conference of all
delegates would be held at the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce build
ing today, and they were invited to be
present.
In response to this invitation At
torney M. w. Conkling, Leroy Holt
and w. H. Best left for that city last
evening, and it is understood that the
delegates will all leave this evening 3
for Washington, where the conference
is to be held Wednesday of next week.
Delegates from Imperial Valley are
United in insisting on the appropri-
alton for the Volcano Lake levee as
the first step in the defensive work
and the building of the protective
works Immediately along the river as
the chief permanent work.
The Los Angeles delegation, repre-
senting the Mexican land interests
primarily, have been opposed to this
procedure, seeking only the river
work, but it now looks as though they
realized that they could not make their
fight alone in antagonism to the farm
ers of the valley as represented by
the district, and the conference is
taken as belated recognition of the
fact that the Mexican interests can
not ride rough shod over the Ameri-
can interests.
1t is hoped that the conference in
session today will result in united
policy to be presented to Secretary
Lane and urged on Congress.

Kingsway Released.

San Diego, Dec. photographic in
structions were received from Wash
ington today by Deputy Collector of
Customs Clarence Sprigg, ordering
him to release the British steamer
Kingsway from further surveillance
and to give her clearance papers for
whatever port she may desire to
steam.
The authorities at Washington held
that the Kingsway had violated no
neutrality laws; that Captain w. E.
Tompkins was right in entering the
port of San Diego when fire in one
of the ships bunkers threatened his
vessel, and that there was no evi
dence to show that the coal aboard
the collier was intended to be deliv
cred aboard British or japanese war
ships.
The captain intimated Saturday that
he would, in case the authorities Or
dered the Kingsway released from
further federal investigation, lodge 4
protest against the vessel being held
here, The protest will be made, II
is said, through British Vice Consul
Allan Hutchinson.
The Kingsway will leave port today
bound ostensibly for Vancouver.

Three Victories.

Paris, Dec. 7.-Three overwhelming
victories were won by the heavy ar
tillery of the allies in fighting re-
ported Sunday in official dispatches
from widely separated sections of the
battle front.
In Flanders near the ferryman's
house between Dixmude and Ypres,
which was captured by the British
after months fighting, the British
gunners destroyed a German field
fort.
In Champagne the French guns
completely overwhelmed the Kaiser's
batteries.
Near Varenncs, 16 miles from Yer
dun, the French guns put every gun
of the German batteries out of ac-
ton.
The week opened with the allies
holding more advanced positions in
Flanders than they have gained in any
corresponding pediod during the
past month.
The past three days have been an
rnbroken record of successes in this
section of the front, with the excep-
tion of the battle around Weidenreft,
on the outskirts of Langemarck, north
west of Ypres, where the Germans
have effectively resisted the French
attacks. Today's official statement de
clared that the German corps contest
ing for the pOntoon assumed the of
fensiVe, but without avail, the Brit
ish continuing to hold the section of
the town to which they retired on Fri
day.
One of the most notable gains was
made by the allies to the east of
Paesele, in the region about the fer
lyman's house, where the German field
fort was reported destroyed today.
This is the first really firm footing
the British have been able to gain on
this bank of the User and the failure
of the German counter attacks in an
effort to regain the lost stronghold,

titled position from which they had con-
Quoted their operations, speaks vol
pmes for the firmness with which the
British have established themselves.
The possession Of Wiedenreft is i'm
portant, as the village is of great stra-
tegic value, dominating as it does the
open stretch of ground which gives
access to the fortified positions of
the Germans. If the allies are able
to establish themselves here they will
be in a position to assail the German
trenches to the east.
The new laurels for the French
gunners were gained in the Cham
pagne region by remarkably accurate
and persistent cannonade while they
themselves were under a terrifying

PRESIDENT OPPOSES
ARMY-NAVY PROBE

Washington, Dec president Will
son today placed himself in formal op-
position to inquiries into the army and
navy preparedness proposed by Con-
gressman Gardner of Massachusetts.
At the conclusion of a conference
which the executive held with the lat
ter, the White House issued this state
ment:
"The resident told Mr.. Gardner he
thought it an unwise way of handling
the question, which might create un-
favorable international impressions.
He stated to Mr.. Gardner that he was
entirely in favor of the fullest inqui-
ries by committees of congress and
there were no facts in possession of
the executive departments which were
not at the disposal of those commit
tees"

CONGRESS MEETS
FOR SHORT SESSION

Washington, Dec. THE gavel fell
today at the opening Of the final ses
sion of the Sixty third congress and
the legislators took up the tasks aban-
doned in October.
Crowded calendars confront both
houses, although it is apparent the
short session, expiring March 4, must
be devoted largely to the annual ap-
preparation bills.
Every legislator realizes that a
great amount of work must be
crowded into the short session, and
so soon as the president delivers his
annual message, scheduled for tomor-
row, the members will keep the wheels
of legislation turning early and late,
except for brief recess for the
Christmas holidays.

fire of the German batteries. The
Kaiser's gunners opened a furious
bombardment of the French positions.
The French batteries replied with a
deadly rain of shells from the new
field hoWitzers which recently were
brought up from the rear to replace
the burnt out pieces and the Germans
were effectively smothered by the
fury Of the reply.
"Sapping," the most terrifying form
of warfare, continues in the Argonne
region. Here the Germans, by dig
ging' zigzag trenches at such an an
gle as never to subject the occupants
to an enfilading fire, but always
bringing the burrowers closer to the
opposing force, have crept up under
the French trenches and hurled bombs
and hand grenades of great explo-
sive power into the rifle pits. Or
ty tunneling from their own trenches
to a point under the French positions
they have planted mines which were
Cetonated after the "home end" of
the bores had been sealed Both op-
erations have been tried repeatedly.
hut the watchfulness of the French
and the dash and daring of their Of
fenslve have more than overcome the
advantage gained by the Germans
through their sapping methods, with
the result that the French have been
able to record considerable gains and
two occasions on which the Germans
have taken the offensive in the open
have been of sad memory to the in
vaders.
Progress has been made in the Ver-
oun region, southeast of Varennes.
where the fighting is becoming more
important, both in the forces en-
ployed and the stake for which they
are contending.
The right wing of General Joffre's
allied army is heavily engaged with
the Germans on two important fronts.
one facing Metz zand the other threat
ching Strassburg.
| Several trenches have been. taken in
the forest country in Alsace, where
/ all the counter attacks of the Ger
mans thus far have been repulsed.
West Of Altkirche the two armies
are still at grips and about Muelhaus
en- sharp fighting is unofficially. re-
ported, but the official statements are
barren of any mention of these en-
Cagements.
In fact the silence of the war of
flee regarding the operations on this
front only lends to their Importance
1t has always been the policy of the
general staff not to publish reports of
major operations where the issue is
still in the balance. This action i.
enJolned upon correspondents even
J to the point of forcibe exclusion from
their dispatches of comment on the
situation, even though no vital facts
are given.
