U. s. WARSHIP
 AIDS REFUGEES
CRUISER TENNESSEE TRANS FERS FIVE HUNDRED TO
 EGYPT.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The United States cruiser Tennessee with the permission of the Turkish govern ment has taken five hundred refugees from Syria to Alexandria, Egypt. These refugees belong to various na- tiOnalities and had asked for relief as it is feared that the British and Turkish forces will meet in their death grip near Syria. The Turks are ap- parently concentrating to the east of Suez canal and the British are un- doubtedly advancing from Egypt in order to bring the war into the country of the enemy and so prevent the canal itself from falling into the hands of the Turkish army. Since the alleged firing by the Turks on the launch of the Tennessee the Turkish officials have shown the cruiser every courtesy and the feeling aroused by the firing has completely disappeared.

DEFEAT
 THE RUSSIANS
BERLIN DECLARES VICTORY NEAR CAUCASIA WAS
 IMPORTANT.

BERLIN, ec. 2S.-Constantinople has received word from the Turkish commander in Asia Minor that the Turkish troops have gained an im- portant victory near the place where Turkish Russian and Persian terri tories meet . It is stated that as a re- suit of the victory the Turks have now entered Russian territory and are still advancing without much Opposi- tion. According to the general belief here the Turkish army of the Suez canal is getting ready for the descent on Egyptian territory. It is expected that the Egyptian people will rise in favor of the Turks once the latter have gained foothOld in that coun- try.
 The raid by the German airship or airships on the Thames is said here to have resulted in much damage to shipping in that river but the facts will probably not be known for some days. The British airship raid on Cux- haven was absolutely without result except that few harmless bombs were thrown. German victories in the east and west have been reported to- day. The re-taking of Mlawa is re- garded as a brilliant victory which clears the way for the descent by the Germans from the north on Warsaw. The Austrians have also gained a magnificent victory near Cracow and have compelled the Russians to aban- don the siege and fall back while the victorious Austrians pursued them for two or three days. The Russians are now further from Cracow than they were a month ago. All the news from the various seats of war this after non is decidedly favorable to Germany and Austria.

RETAKE CITY, RUSSIANS QUIT CRACOW
ALL NATIONS
 CLAIM SUCCESS
GERMANS AND AUSTRIANS WIN ONE PLACE AND LOSE
 IN ANOTHER.

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-The reports from South Poland this morning are to the effect that where the German
 right wing joins the Austrian left these two armies have made slight gains after some of the fiercest fight ing recorded during the war. Berlin and Vienna claim these successes to be important but the Russian reports declare them to be hardly noticeable. Vienna admits that in Galicia and the Carpathians the Austrians have been compelled to give ground and PetrO- grad officially announces that the Rus sians are again pursuing the Aus trians into the Carpathion mountains after having taken many thousands of prisoners. With all this it is evil dent that Russia has made no further advance in the effort to invest Cracow and nothing more appears about that fortress in the dispatches. Przemysl also is standing in spite of the Rus sian investment. The fighting on the Servian frontier is also evidently not of great importance. The Servians are believed to have suffered too much to permit an invasion of Austria while the Austrians are apparently remain ing in their strong defensive posi- tions and are satisfied to hold them while they are sending their chief forces against the Russians.

EXPECT NEW JUDGE WILL
 SOON BE APPOINTED
Fairgbanks Democrats Believe that Charles Bunnell will be the Choice.

FAIRBANKS, Dec. 2S.-The people of this city are expecting to hear momentarily that a new judge has been appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Judge Fuller. The general opinion amongst democrats is that Charles Bunnell will receive the appointment. A strenuous effort is being made in Washington to prevent the appointment of an out sider. Many Fairbanks men who went out for the winter have gone to Washington to take part in the fight for a home appointment. It is said that applications have been made for the place by men whose names have not been mentioned at all.
 Snow fell very late here this year but we now have an abundance of it to make the trails good.

MAN ACCUSED OF SENSATIONAL MURDER SENT TO SU-
 PRIME COURT.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-Justice Lamar has granted an appeal to the supreme court of the case of Leo Frank who has been charged with the murder of Mary Pagan at Atlanta, Georgia. The case has become one of the most sensational for many years. The body of the girl was found muti- lated. Frank was the superintendent of the factory where she worked and suspicion rested on him. His arrest caused a tremendous uproar part of the people taking his side and another part demanding his punishment. He was sentenced to death.

CHECK HEADWAY
 EAST AND WEST
GERMANS RETAKE MLAWA BUT ARE STATIONARY SOUTH
 OF VISTULA.

LONDON, Dec 28.-Headway has been checked on both battle fronts according to the news coming from the different capitals since Saturday. The French troops have made some advances during the past three days but their advances have apparently not been kept up at the same speed which had been reported during the fortnight previously. A thick fog which has hung over Flanders and northern France for several days IS partly accountable for the slackening efforts. In northern Poland the Ger mans have again received strong re- Inducements and have once more taken the offensive with some rather important results. They have again taken Mlawa from which they were compelled to retreat several days ago. At that time they were reported by Petrograd to have been driven back behind the East Prussia frontier but the retaking of Mlawa seems to show that they were by no means defeated South of the river Vistula the Ger mans still stand on the same ground having apparently failed to make any advance from the westward towards Warsaw. The cold continues to be intense in the eastern battle ground but the fighting proceeds in spite of it. Should the German force which has re-taken Mlawa be able to con- tinues it's advances southward 1t will place the Russians in such a position that they may be compelled to retreat in the center and let the German cen ter advance but Petrograd declares its confidence that the northern army of the enemy will again be driven backward.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-In a private letter to this city General Car ranza chief of the cOnstitutiOnalists in Mexico states that he will fight the forces of Villa, Zapata and their friends to the bitter end. He calls both of those leaders brigands and bandits and states that Mexico will fall into a state of anarchy if they are permitted to conduct the country's affairs. He also says he has a powerful army under his command and that a bloody struggle is the best that Mexico can expect from the action of Villa.

RUSSIANS COMPELLED TO
 RETREAT FROM CRACOW
But Petrograd Comes Back With Story of Another Aus
 trian Haul

PETROGRAD, Dec. 2S.-The siege of Cracow has again been raised it is admitted by the Russian authorities today. The Russian army investing the fortress was compelled to fall back, according to the news given out, because the Austrians made an at tempt to divide the Russian army in Galicia. This news is regarded as serious although the military authori- ties have evidently not given out the full details. They admit, however, that the Russian army has retreated fifty miles.

FIRST RETIRES FROM CRACOW AND THEN CLAIMS A
 VICTORY.

PETRoGRAD Dec. 2S.-The Rus sians after the retreat from Cracow concentrated along the Biala river from which they moved down and at tackled the Austrians at TuchOw and so prevented a junction of two Aus trian armies. The Russians then checked the Austrians advancing from Sanok. After these successes the Rus sians took the offensive on Christmas Day along the Biala river and won the battel of Tuchow. The Austrians retreated throughout the following day and the Russians captured thirty five hundred prisoners and eighteen machine guns. Later the Russians stormed the heights of Seidliska four miles south of Tuchow.

GERMANS ADMIT THEY
 ARE SHORT IN SUPPLIES.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 2S.-Agents of the commissary department of the German army, who are here purchas- ing suplies, admit that Germany's shortage in some respects is serious. They state that Germany would be glad to exchange all prisoners of war because of the difficulty of providing supplies for them.
 The agents find their task here made difficult by the Danish prohibi- tion against exports of many articles They have succeeded, however in pur- chasing large quantities of meat which may still be exported to Ger many. They would like to get mil lion pairs of boots and shoes, but the list of prohibitions includes all articles made of leather or hide.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 2S.-Orders for fifty thousand tons of carbonized rounds were received here today from the fighting nations of Europe. Twenty six thousand tons of steel for the making of shrapnel shells were shipped to Europe recently. Fully six million dollars worth of trenching tools, galvanized sheeting wire and projectile steel have been bought in Pittsburg by the belligerents in the past two months. The galvanized sheet iron is probably to be used for cover in the trenches.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S,-The lat est dispatches from Manila go to con- firm the belief that the attempted ris- ing which took place last week does not indicate that the feeling against this country is really bitter amongst the general population of the islands. It is stated that the rising was con demned by the majority of the Fili- pinos who are said to be entirely in favor of awaiting the action of con- gress on the Philippine Independence bill.

 In the meantime Villas forces have suspended attacks on EbanO near Tampico and have concentrated for an attack on the seaport of Tuxpan where fighting is now in progres. During the past few days pessimism has come again in Washington in relation to Mexican affairs and there seems to be very little hope that peace will come. Indeed some people think that conditions are worse than ever.

Johnson will take ship direct from Europe either to Mexico itself or to some South Amer ican country from which he can reach Mexico easily.

REAL WAR OF THE AIR
 BREAKS OVER EUROPE
Cities in England, Russia, France And Germany At-
 tackled.

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-The real war of the air may be said now to have begun in Europe. During the past forty eight hours there have been air raids over the lower Thames in Eng land, over Metz, Freiberg, Nancy, Sochaczew, and especially over the German naval base at Cuxhaven. Tremendous damage has been inflicted at several points but it is apparent that all the nations involved are de- SirouS of hiding the details. The fact that the various air corps of the diff ferent nations opened the air cam paign simultaneously is clearly only a coincidence and it is a fact worth stating that as the German air men flew over the channel to attack the shipping in the Thames British air men must have passed them by as they flew to attack the German naval base. Details of the result of the Cuxhaven expedition are still lacking although Berlin asserts that the British airmen accomplished nothing. There was also an attack on Hamburg and from that city comes the report that some dam age was inflicted. One thing is very

clear and that is that the British air fleet must have started out in strong force with the intention of averaging the German warship raid on the Eng fish coast. It is admitted by the Brit ish authorities, however, that the heavy fog prevented the British from carrying out fully their plans which if successful would have been most disastrous.
 Details are also lacking as to the result of the raid on the lower Thames but this raid has certainly increased the uneasiness in this city, From this time forward the British navy and air fleets will adopt more strenuous meth ods to counteract the effects of the German raids and for some time it is likely that the chief interest will be transferred from the great battlefeldS on land to the daring operations in the air. Greater precautions are now being taken to oppose Zeppelin raids since the Zeppelin flew over Nancy as the authorities here have come to the conclusion that the Nancy raid was in the nature of a test before the Zep- pelin war becomes general.
