RUSSIANS TELL OF
REPULS|NC ENEMY
OFFICIAL REPORT FROM PETRO-
GRAD GIVES THE NEWS OF
SEVERAL VICTORIES.

Petrograd, Jan. S.--An official COM
murication given out by the general
staff tonight says:
ION the left bank of the Vistula
front, at the village of Soukha, Met
airie and Moghely, the fighting has as
sumed character more and more des-
perate. The Germans, Notwithstanding
the great losses they have sustained,
continue obstinate attacks at different
points.
'In many places the enemy succeed
ed in occupying Professionally certain
Of our advanced trenches but our Wig
orous counter attacks, followed Ordin.
arily by bayonet charges, compelled
the Germans to let go their hold. Thus
in the region of Metairie and Moghely
on January Z we drove the enemy, who
rushed our advanced trenches, captur-
ing seven officers and more than 100
men.
I'm Bukowina we occupied on Jan
uary Kimpolung lin Bukowina near
the Hungarian border) after an ad-
vance and fighting lasting eight days.
Our troops during this fighting covered
more than 120 versts (about 80 miles)
and finally crossed the mountain chain
at the frontier between Bukowina and
Hungary. During the operations we
captured more than one thousand Aus
trians and also took rich spells of war.
"On other parts Of our front there Is
nothing worthy of note.
"On the Black sea on January 8 our
torpedo boats discovered Turkish

transport, sailing east and approaching
Siuope, on the north coast of Asia
Minor. Seeing themselves pursued the
Turkish vessels turned west in flight
but we followed and sank the trans.

Indications Are That Italy
and Rumania Will Take
the Field With Allies
ULTIMATUM SENT
TO TURK OFFICIALS
Italian Flag Must Be Given
Salute and Apology Made
By Sunday Evening

London, Jan. 9.-The allies are jubi.
liant over the possibility that Italy and
Rumania will shortly enter the Europ'
can war on the side of the Triple En-
tente-England, France and Russia.
Rumania has already begun the mobil-
ization of more than half million SOL
diers and Italy is believed on the verge
of hostility with both Turkey and Aus
tria The Rumanians have been want
ing to take sides with Russia ever
since the war started but fear of the
attitude of their Balkan neighbors has
deferred them. It is understood that
an agreement has been reached among
them permitting the Rumanians to de-.
clare war without drawing an attack
from Bulgaria.
Italy's trouble with Austria is over
the Italian occupation of Avlona, AL.
bania. Austria has protested and has
met with warlike reply. Austria is
said to be fortifying the border lines
alorg Northern Italy and preparing for
eventualities.
Turks Resist Italy.
Italy is even nearer the breaking
point with Turkey. The italian demand
upon Turkey for an apology and
salute to the Italian flag for violation
of an Italian consulate by the seizure
of British consul who had taken re-
fuge there, has been resisted by the
Turks and now Italy is said to have
sent an ultimatum giving the Turks un-
til Sunday evening at o'clock to make
the salute and the apology or take the
consequences.
Greeks Ready to Fight.
Word from Athens, Greece, is to the
effect that relations between the Turks
and Greece are severely strained and
in danger of rupture at any minute.
Greek diplomatic representatives as
we'll as Greek citizens are receiving in
tolerant treatment in Turkey and this
is not setting well with the Greeks.
Rumanians Mobilize.
Paris, Jan. 9.-The Rumanian mobil-
ization will begin in the last week of
January. according to the Petit Pari
sieE, by the calling up of three classes
totalling $4,000 men. The mobiliza-
ton will be continued until 100000 men
are ready for the field.
1t is expected that Switzerland will
be asked to take charge of Rumanian
interests in Germany and Austria, the
Petit Parisien says, but it adds that the
cabinet had made no definite arrange
ments as yet.

embroidery and very little fine lace.
Irish crochet and filet lace are both
used a great deal for children's dresses,
especially when combined with hand
embroidery.
In children's outdoor apparel there is
no smarter way of clothing child
than with coat made in some simple
but stylish manner, and hat made from
the same material. Old rose broadcloth
was used for stunning childs coat. 1t
was made Empire, with cuffs and high
collar Of fox. The hat was made Of the
old rose broadcloth, with band OF the
fur around the crown and bunch OF
silk balls in harmonizing shades Of ON
rose on one side. The elastic which
held the hat on was run through mar
row ribbon the same shade as the
broadcloth.

Consideration Of Wilson's
Bill to Buy Marine Is
Being Prevented
REPUBLICANS ARE
CHIEF OPPONENTS
Long Records Are Read for
Purpose of Taking Time
and Delaying Work

Washington, D. c., Jan. 9.-The
senate today was confronted with pos.
sible night sessions to consider the
government ship purchase bill. This
possibility has arisen because but lit
tie progress has thus far been made
in the consideration of the measure.
Although the shipping bill has been
before the senate for several days as
the unfinished business, only two days
have been given over to the measure;
it having been side tracked for the
District of Columbia appropriation bill.
Administration leaders We're deter
mined that unless greater progress
was made on the measure today they
would seriously consider holding night
sessions.
Republican senator's opposing the
bill succeeded in keeping the senate
occupied throughout yesterdays SEES
sion with the district supply measure.

in the fight against the bill, read

Senator Cummins introduced a sub
stitute today for the administration
ship purchase bill. 1t would authorize
the president to acquire vessels suit
able for naval auxiliaries at a cost not
exceeding thirty million dollars. for
which Panama bonds would be sold.
All such ships would be under the Sec
rotary of the navy, instead of ship
ping corporation as the administration
bill proposes and in times of peace
those not needed by the naval force
would be leased to those engaged in
foreign commerce.
immigration Bill Ready.
House and senate conferees on
amendments to the immigration bill
today agreed to eliminate the senate
provisions barring negroes and ex-
empting Belgian farmers from the lit
eracy test and certain other require
ments. All other differences, none
substantial, were compromised and
the perfected bill will next be present
ed to both houses for final passage be-
fore going to the president, who will
hold public hearings on the literacy
test before deciding whether to sign
or veto It.
