Different Opinions in West.

Opinions differ sharply as to the in
erations in the west. 1t is reported
that Germany is about to embark on
a new offensive movement; that the
allies are about to assume the Of
fensive; that the German line has
been weakened perceptibly, and that
a new German army is being rushed
into Flanders. Whatever the German
plan may be. official statements from
the opposing sides indicate there is
little actual fighting in the western
area.
The German official statement says
there is nothing of Importance to re-
port from the western theater of war,
while the French statement says in
Belgium the Germans are remaining
on the defensiye: that the enemy's
artillery fire has been feeble, and
that the allies have made progress at
certain points In the vicinity Of Fay
the allies say they hold positions
which they occupied Nov. 2S.
In the region of Soissons, according
to the French statement, there has
been an intermittent artillery fire di-
rected against the town. In the Ar
gonne the French say several at
tacks on the town of Dagatelle We're
repulsed.
Russias compaign against Turkey
likewise has reached period of in
o%i itv Tho LOTT from tho
Russian army of the Caucasus is to
the effect that no movements of inn
portance are under way.

GERMANS ARE WITHDRAWING

Allied lines said to Be Advancing
South Of Ypres.
Paris, Dec 1.-The allied lines are
now being advanced south of Ypres.
1t is declared here that gradual
withdrawal of the Germans is evil
dent.
British and French troops are press
ing forward, occupying the abandon
ed trenches. Throughout last week
the artillery attack of the Germans
gradually slackened and it is now de-
clared that many of the trenches in
the inundated section OF Flanders
have been evacuated.

Russians Near Aus

REPORTS FROM WEST
VERY CONTRADICTORY
Stories All Agree That Little
Fighting Is in Progress.

London, Dec. 1.-Russia's forces, II
Is reported, at last have reached era.
COW, the Austrian fortress in North
western Galicia, near the boundaries
of Russian Poland and the German
province of Silesia. An Italian cor
respondent at the front says Cracow
is being bombarded by heavy siege
guns and that one Of the suburbs is In
flames.
The correspondent of the Army Mes
senger, Russia's s military organ. as.
serts that the Russian troops are
abreast of Cracow, but does not in.
dictate that the fortress is being bonn
barded. This correspondent says the
defenders of Cracow are being turned
on the south side. This turning move
ment probably Is being attempted by
the Russian army moving westward
through Galicia. To the north of Cra-
COW, in Southern Russian Poland, the
German official statement says moth.
ing OF note has occurred.
The capture of Cracow has been one
Of the main objectives of the Russian
campaign against Austria, on the the
cry that it's fall, with the fall of
Przemysl, the Galician fortress now
under siege, would mean Russian as
sendancy in that part of Austria which
lies north Of the Carpathian noun
tains. The Russians also have hopes
of extending their campaign beyond
Cracow, either westward to the rich
German province of Silesia, or south
ward into the heart of Austria. The
German statement indicates that the
GermaE-Austrian army defending the
Silesian border northwest of CracoW
is not being hard pressed by the Rus
SLAMS.

the character of the man. "A soldiers

Is to keep them on the run"

Poindexter Of Spokane. Wash, Is one
OF the women in the congressional set
at Washington who has voted and in.
tends to vote again for a president
of the United States. In politics, she
agrees with her husband.
All Mrs. Poindexter's friends will

qualities are an abiding sense Of hu-
NOR and that especial brand of moral
courage known as backbone" She
watches life at the capital with a
twinkle of the eye, and is not one bit

in stating 1t are typical of the un-

vision of the western woman.

tributes to this breadth of vision.
