30 MILES FROM RHINE
Right Wing Of French Army Holding
Steinbach and Heights to South
west of the Village.

London, 1890 p. M. Jan. 5.--The right
wing OF the French army was to-day
less than 80 miles from the river Rhine
holding the Alsatian village Of Steinbach
and the heights TO the southeast of the
village, after one OF the most stubborn
localized fights OF the war.
At no other point in the western front
has there been any noteworthy change
and the news to-day dwells chiefly on
the bad weather conditions. In Poland
there has been little shift in the relative
positions of the armies The Germans
continue TO deliver furious intermittent
attacks on the Bzura Rawka line To
the south the Russians swept forward t.
Suszawa. near the Roumanian frontier.

RUNAWAY IN TWO CHAPTERS.

his way down Elm and Summer streets
and into Pearl street. left the steed at
the Johnston & Cow stables on Prospect
street. Mr. Nelly succeeded in locating
the animal as soon as stable attaches
had unhitched II and given the beast
bed for the night.

restored TO its owner, Mr. Kelly hoped

Unmarried Men Were to Be Laid Off,

Chatham, N. Y.-Friends of Mr.. and

congratulating them upon their mar
rage, which took place recently. The
date was advanced in order that Will

ried men In order to reduce expenses.
WILDER, who had learned of this,
hurried to the home Of his fancee, Miss
Mabel @. Phillips.

Der said TO her.
"Why, we can't; my wedding gown
isn't finished" Miss Phillips protested.
But when WILDER explained the emer-
gency Miss Phillips consented.
Then WILDER reported for work.

DARDANELLES FIGHT
AN EPOCH MAKING ONE
To Go Down In History as
MOmentOuS Struggle.

London.-W When combined squadron
of British and French warships began
the task of forcing passage OF the
Dardanelles on Nov. of last year
probably few realized the magnitude
Of the task they had set for themselves.
1t was four months from the date of
that opening shot that word of any
progress was reported.
1t was only when the British super
Dreadnought Queen Elizabeth, armed
with eight f1fteen-inch guns and lying
from eight to ten miles offshore, hurled
tons and tons of metal into the outer
Notifications at the entrance to the
Dardanelles that the first breach was
made in the supposedly impregnable
defenses.
This wonderful marine fighting ma
chine, the Queen Elizabeth, was only
one of fleet of forty warships sent to
hammer down the forts that guard the
forty mile long passage through the
sea of Marmora and to Constantinople
beyond. Engaged with her In the task,
to that of storming the rock Of Gibral-
tar, were the Dreadnoughts Agamem
non, Irresistible, Vengeance, Cornwall
lis, Triumph, Albion and Majestic,
most Of which were armed with four
twelve-inch guns each, and the French
pre- Dreadnoughts Gaulois. Suffren and
Charlemagne.
Opposing the passage of these en-
gines of destruction is a continuous
line of Notifications ON both sides Of
the narrow strait, supplemented with
deadly sea mines and several subma-
rines.
The one enormous advantage pos
sessed by the attacking force is in the
superior range of its guns. Opposed to
the twelve and fifteen inch guns of the
combined feet, the greatest guns of the
forts are pieces of 1912 inch caliber
From the beginning of the forcing of
the Dardanelles early in November all
the Notifications within range of the
larger guns of the attacking feet were
subjected to desultory bombardment
The end of February, however, marked
the starting of the attack in deadly
earnest Two days of constant pound
ing battered down the forts guarding
the entrance to the strait from the
Mediterranean.
Military experts agree that the
strength of the defenses of the Oar
danelles grows from the entrance as
they near Constantinople. When the
present great war passes into history
no more momentous struggle will be
recorded than that of the attempt of
the allies feet to force the passage
toward the Golden Horn.
