GERMAN

Berlin. Jan. s.-The German official statement given out in Berlin today says:
 %In the western theater of, the war the continuous rains swamp the grounds in Flanders more and more and our operations in consequence are very much hfndered.
 ITO the east of Rheims the French attempted during the night to take one of our outer trenches but they were driven back into their positions by counter attack, losing 50 pris- oners.
 t'In the center and the eastern part of Argonne we made further prog ress.
 "A night attack by the French against our positions on the Bl1chen- kopf, south of Diedolshausen, in the Vosges, was repulsed. Repeated Trench attacks on a height to the west of Sennheim (Cernay) broke down under our artillery fire. We took two off cers and more than 100-s men as pris- oners. Fighting still is going on be- fore the village of Oberburnhaupt Sennheim.
 East of the Rawka river our at tacks are progressing. One thousand, six hundred Russians were taken pris- oners and five machine guns were captured by us.
 ''OnIy artillery battles took place on the eastern bank of the Pi1ica river.''

OFFICIAL REPORTS ON THE WAR

 line of trenches has been moved for ward and we occupied the road from BoisseIle to Aveluy.
 sIn the valley of the Aisne the ar tiMery exchanges yesterday were quite spirited. Our heavy artillery secured good results near Blanc SabIon. At this point the mine tflrowers of the enemy inflicted losses on us but in the afternoon we checked this fire from the Germans
 t'In the sector of Rheims to the west of the forest Des Zouayes we blew uE a blookhouse and occupied a new trench 200 yards in advance of ouf lines.
 t::The artillery engagement between Betheny and Prunay was conducted yesterday with great ferceness.''
 tThe Germans left many dead on the field; our losses were not heavy. Between Jonchery Sur -Suippes and Souain we time and again reduced to silence the artillery of the enemy, ed his breastworks.
 Tn the Argonne, to the west of Haute Cheva1uc91e, the enemy, by means of a rnine, blew up some of oIl- first line trenches which were com pletely demolished A violent attack undertaken at once iby the enemy on our positions, was repulsed with the bayonet. We took some prisoners and we maintained our front except for a distance Of 80 yards. Here the denaoI- ition of the trenches obliged us to es- tabliah our line 20 yards further back.

Two more appointments as deputy Sheriffs were announced today by County Sheriff-elect Pease. William E. Luke was named for Danbury and Lincoln Taylor for Stamford. Luke is a constable in Danbury at present He has always been prominent in polt- tics and received the endorsement of the DanbuTy town committee.

He was one of the deputies placed as guards on the car platforms. During one of the riots Deputy Taylor was struck by a brick, which smashed his watch but did no other damage.
 Deputy Luke came to this cfty to- day to testify in the Mallory divorce suit before Judge Webb in the superior court. While here he visited Sheriff elect Pease and was notified of his appointment

nary note Great Britain has recog- nized the reasonab1eness of the American protest and has promised to reduce the annoyance to the small lest degree particularly because it has virtually completed arrangements with the neutral states of Europe which will prevent American supplies from getting through to Germany and Austria.
 Although Great Britain could not in terms charge any of the neutral nations with failing to execute their enbargoes, it is understood here that the British government was satisfied that some of the smaller European states for obvious reasons had been lax and that quantities of American copper and food supplies actually had been going into Germany. Now, how ever, 1t is Believed that the British government has succeeded in making satisfactory arrangements with those countries and consequently it is un- derstood the note will clearly indf- cate a disposition to be more tolerant in the treatment of American cargoes though no pledge. of absolute sur- render of the right of search is made.

SUMMARY OF TODAY's WAR NEWS

Capture of another town in Alsace, to the south of Senn- helm, is reported by the French war office in it's statement of today The German communicas- ton neither affirms nor denies the report, saying merely that fighting is still in progress for possession of the town. It Is stated, however, that repeated French attacks in A1sace broke down under the German artillery fire.
 In a few other localities be tween the North Sea and Switzer- land sharp fighting is in progress, in which each side has scored it's miner victories, but over most Of the line there Is little activity.
 The armies in the east are similarly inactive. The German communication mentions an en- gagement east of the Rawka river in Poland, where it is said that the advance is still in prog ress but the spectacular clashes of great masses of troops during the earlier part of the war have no parallels now along the War saw front. There, as in the west, the Germans and Russians have dug themselves into the ground and are taking up the tedious operations of warfare in the trenches.
 Great Britain's preliminary re- ply to the American note concern ing British interference with American shipping was delivered today to Ambassador Page who forwarded it to Washington.

A de- spatch from Sofia, Bulgaria, gives in circufnstantiaI detail an account of the unsettled conditions at Con stantinopie where it is said that internal disorders as well as at tacks from without, apparently are feared.
 It is asserted that preparations have been, made to remove from the city the archives of state and the treasury, should the necessity arrive and that at Adrianople ar engagements are under way to re- 5IceiFe tls4ees sovepnmenf officials.

 The Russian sweep across Buko- wina, Austria's northeastern prov ince and through to the Carpath- ians, against which the Austrians have been driven back, is admitted In an official statement today
 Fighting has been resumed on the Servian front. An Austrian force which occupied an island near Belgrade was attacked by Servia.ns, according to an official statement from Nish. The hostil- ities were on comparatively small scale and there is no fndica,- ton that Austria contennplates an other attack in force lon Servia at this time.

London. Jan s-The FErerneh army continuing it's pounding on the Ger nan lines in the heights of Alsace, to- day reports the capture of another town, near stetnbac4n. which fell e. few days ago after a terrific hgdnt The German official statement does not af- firm or deny the report. The. line is now within less da1an 30 miles of ths Rhine.
 Aside from the. eoatrrrr1Ted Russian pursuit of the Turkish forces defeated in the Caucasus and the continuation of the Russian akfance through the passes of the Carpathian mountains, siege warfare with intenRnbttent aFsda- >Iery duels prevails almost everywhere in the area, of hostiHties in the eastern arena as well as dn bhe western
 The reports reaching London show that General Won HindenbI1rg the German commander in Poland, for some time past has made no apug'e- ciAb1e progress toward Warsaw the
 mud of Poland evidently having done for him what the broken dykes and the resultant in11ndatfona did for the Germans in West Flanders.
 A despatch coming eto London from Copenhagen declares tlIat Won Hin denba1rg is expecting heavy reinforce ments and that with an army of one million men he purposes to make one
 
 to the PoliSSe capital. The Russians would appear to have had ample time in which to reinforce themselves and to strengthen their position around Warsaw and it is the opinion of Brit fish obseTvers~that the trench warfare for which the western theatre of war
 has become famous has been waged in the region of tl1e Polish rivers.
 Austria a-Hungary again admits the retirement of her forces in Bl1lOowina and it is from this Russian forward mov veGnent before which the AustT4ans are giving way that the most spsCtac- lllar development of the next fort night may be expected to spring aic- cordjng to the opinion held today by some British observers of the war The argument is made that once R-us- sia gets a good footIroFd beyond dae mountain passes something that may be accomplished dn a fortnight if che Russians meanwhile are not checked, a. big stride toward the oerrunning Of Hungary would have been made. If this is accomplished it wiH be bhe first considerable invasion of any ter ritory of the Te1rtodlfc aI1fes.
 Both British and French nevVEpe.- pers continue today to ag1ta:be the all legged arrest by the German aRBthOTd- ties in Belgium of Cardinal MercaeF- The Germans have been quick to deny that the Cardinal has in amy way been detained. The London papers, nevertheless, still give great promin- ence to the incident and publish tina pastoral letter of the Cardinal which
 was said to have given offense to the Germans, appending it to comments gathered far and wide from promiIl- ent cIergyTnen and others. They aI- so cast doubt on the German denial 1 and declare that it will require a statement from the Cardinal himself to clear up the matter.

The Senior Group in Lambertville
continues to meet regularly once
week on Monday nights. The mem
bers are planning to introduce the
game of volley ball into Lambert
vile. Recent programs include de-
bates and socials.
The Senior group in Stockton has
been organized just year and in
that time its membership has grown
from twenty-five to fifty-seven, and
the boys have shown a great inter
est in the work.
They are particularly grateful to
their leader, Lewis Hildebrand, for
his mtiring efforts in behalf of the
Association and are looking forward
to a better year than the one just
past.
Thursday evening last, an indoor
picnic was held at which the girl
friends of the boys were invited as
guests. About fifty were present
and every one had an exceedingly en-
joyable evening.
A feature of the program was
history of the group read by Carroll
Allen and songs by the group quar-
tette.
Ice cream and cake were served
at the close of the evening of games
and every one united in expressing
appreciation for the work of this
group in Stockton.
The Jr. Group is planning for a
closing banquet to be held early in
June and in the meantime is con-
tinuing its meetings with group
games, Bible Study, the Ritual, ETC.
Among the programs of the two
groups in Stockton in the near fu-
ture are camp night and over night
hikes, parents night and a mock
trial.

Salty Butter.

To remove salt from butter
which is sometimes necessary, espe-
cially if butter has been in 'pickle"
put three or four pounds of but
ter in a large wooden bowl, pour
over it enough cold water to cover
it and then beat the butter with a
spoon till the water is hazy looking
or discolored. Pour off this water
then and add more and beat again.
Change the water until it is clear
after the beating. If the water
comes out of the beaten butter
looking clear, then it is time to
stop, for that proves the salt has
been removed.
