PARIS, Jan. 18.-The war office reports severe fighting in the Elan ders region of Belgium, near the coast, also near. Arras, and in the Aisne valley, at Reims and in the vosges mountains. This indicates that the fighting is general all through Belgium and France and the long expected forward movement may have started. Some military experts, however, insist that no general en- gagement is now on, but that the present activity is for the purpose of relieving the pressure on the army defending the Solssons line, where the Germans concentrated large forces of men and succeeded in push ing south for several miles, breaking down all opposition. As Soissons is the nearest point of the fighting line to Paris the war office is making every effort to keep the German army busy at other points and prevent re- Inducements reaching the army op- erating near the capital. The war office has also sent forward large forces of old men to the Soissons line from the Paris garrison and all danger is said to be past.

Charged With Burglary In Morning, Indicted At Noon, Convicted Imme.
 diateIy and In Jail At 8 p. m.

SALEM, Ore., Jan. 1S.-The officers of the law here today made a new record of speed in punishing crim- inal. Arthur Hansen was arrested this morning charged with burglary, was indicted at noon tried shortly af- rewards and had started to serve his sentence of two years by o'clock in the afternoon.
 The officers are proud of the rec ord, while the attorney for Hansen claims that the supreme court will reverse the conviction on the ground of failure to allow the defendant enough time to prepare the proper defense. He charges that his client was railroaded and that he will fight the case to the highest court in the state to secure for Hansen a fair trial
 Instead of aiding in the enforce ment of the law by railroading q prisoner it has the opposite effect and does the administration of just'ce a great injury" is the way the attor- ney expresses himself regarding tha conviction.
