GERMANS WIN GREAT
 VICTORY IN TRANCE
GERMANS WIN IN FRANCE

LONDON, Jan 14-Within two hours motor ride of the city of Paris and with the German emperor himself directing a violent attack the French lines the Ger mans under the eye of their ruler an important vic tory near Sossons yesterday There is doubt whatever of the victory as both Paris and Berlin have announced it. Both governments have issued bulletins stating that the Germans have defeated the French the heights over Regny The Berlin announcement says that the Germans charging through heavy mud took trench after trench clearing the heights and driving the defenders backward in confusion.
 In addition to defeating the French Berlin an- nounces that the enemy took eleven hundred prisoners They are in full possession of the heights and can not be denied that they are given a tremendous ad- vantage in their future operations in that part of the battle line The presence of the kaiser in that part of the field is taken to mean that he intends to break through the French line in the center at any cost and there IS possibility that he will endeavor once to drive on towards Paris and divide the forces of the allies. The French announcement, however Is accompanied by an expression of confidence the part of the French leaders, While admitting serious defeat they seem to hope that the result will be nullifed by future operations.

ROME, Jan. 14.-Fifty thousand people were killed and injured throughout Italy yesterday by the earthquake which was at first only known to have visited this city. The quake visited almost the whole nation
 It extended three hundred miles from a place below Naples in the south to Ferrara in the north and practically across the entire width of the coun- try The country east and southeast of Rome suffered most. Avczzano with twelve thousand inhabitants was totally destroyed and the loss of life and the injured there and in neighbor- ing villages which were also com pletely destroyed amounts to fifteen thousand. Naples felt the shock sev- erely but the damage was only slight and not life was lost in that city. 1t has also been fully learned that no lives were lost in this city but very serious damage has been caused to historical buildings. One hundred per sons were killed in towns near Rome, however. The government has already gone into the work of relief with splendid promptness. Relief trains with doctors, nurses, and supplies have been rushed into the afflicted district with full orders to spare no work or expense to relieve the suffer ing. The earthquake is of geological origin according to the best authon- ties. Mount Vesuvius is quiet and seems not to be affected in the least although usually earthquakes in this region are accompanied by violent eruptions. The latest news tends to show that very few people escaped destruction at Avezzano. The most heartbreaking scenes were witnessed there after the collapse of the town. The survivors on learning that their

ONE MORE YARN SPRUNG
 ON POOR OLD SEWARD.
Rumored Today That Government Had Bought Out the Copper
 River Railroad.

AS an example of what we are to expect from this time forward the following true story is heaven sent;
 Chief Magistrate Amy of the town of Seward, incorporated, came to the Gateway office during the noon hour today saying that telegram had ar rived stating that the government had purchased the Copper River and Northerwestern railroad. Asked for his authority he named City Attorney Lindley Green and to prove his own sincerity he went and brought Judge Green to the office. Judge Green said he had got the story from Sydney Anderson, cashier of the bank of Sew ard, but Mir. Anderson, on being seen, said he got the story from T. w.. Hawkins, banker and merchant. Run ming it down still further it was found that Mir. Tecklenburg of the Seattle Bar had seen the telegram and that he had gone to the Gateway office to see if this paper had information that tallied with what he seen. However, Mir. Teckdlenburg on being inter viewed said that he had not seen the telegram but that someone had come in and told his bartender that such a telegram had arrived. "I think 'tis a hoax" said he and he was sure right.
 As a sequel to the story; It had scarcely been written when Sam Graf called up the office and said that someone had called him up to say that Joe Morris had received tele- gram from Bill Devine saying that the government had bought the rail road at Cordova and was going to run the road from Chitina to the Mat anuska. First I heard about it" said Joe when he was asked. Then came a message to the office saying that Gus Borgen stated that Judge Green had received the telegram, but the Judge had already entered a plea of not guilty with prima facie evidence. The next man comes with story like that will die in his tracks.

GOVERNOR WHO RELEASED ALL THE CONNECTS DOWN
 AND OUT.

COLUMBIA, Jan. Ex-Governor Cole Blease. who liberated nearly all the convicts in his state some days ago, has sent in his resignation to the secretary of state and to the senate and it was accepted by both immedi- ately. His term would have expired on the 18th, anyhow but he had heard of a meeting of some members of the legislature in which his impeachment was discussed and he probably feared that such proceedings might have been taken against him. The legis- lators who discussed this course are said, however, to have abandoned the idea. In his resignation he used only ten words. Lieutenant Governor Smith is now governor.

ALL OFFICIALS KILLED.

ROME, Jan. 14.-It was learned this afternoon that the mayor and every member of the city council of Avezzano were killed with the thou sands of others in the town. Out of nine members of the police force eight are dead. These figures are given as an example of the frightful holocaust which has occurred in that one town. It is impossible at present to tell the exact number of people killed in Ayez- zano but it is in the thousands while the loss of life in the surrounding country is appalling. The survivors are assembled in the square of the town now so thoroughly unneryed by the awful shock that they are helpless.

owed ones were buried under the ruins of their dwellings tore franti- cally with their bare hands at the piles of debris in the mad desire to dig out fathers, mothers and children. In many instances the stones were covered with the blood from the torn hands of the desperate people who labored in their agony to save their lost ones. In their grief many of them tainted and were found unconscious or raving by those who came to the relief. Many of the dead have already been recovered and the work is pro- ceding as fast as possible. For the moment the great war is forgotten in the terrible catastrophe which has visited the nation.

ENGLISH VICAR IS
 HOLDER OF RECORD.
Preacher Held British Record For
 1000 Yards Race.
(By The Associated Press.)

(By The ASSOclaJed ITeSS'J
 ROCHESTER, England, Jan. 12.- In installing the Rev. William k. Lutyens recently as Vicar of the i'm portant Church of St. Luke at Gil lingham, the Bishop of Rochester cal led attention to the fact that the new vicar was holder of the British record in the 1000 yard run.
 "Mr. Lutyens is an athlete, one Of our best, although his record in the 1000 yard run was made so many years ago and worn so modestly that most of us had forgotten it." said the Bishop. "Pure sport is a fine and manly thing, and your new vicar comes to you as a manly man,-One who knows what it is to be strenuous when occasion demands"
 Lutyens made his record in the l. 900 yards run at Stanford Bridge eight years ago, incidentally setting up another new British record as he passed the 900 yard post. At that time he was one of the most notable of English athletes, partly because of his remarkable machine-like stride, which was widely initiated among English school-boy runners.

DAGGET BLOCK THREATENED.

A little blaze occurred about eight o'clock last night in the annex to the Dagget building which stands between the main building and the residence. The cause was the setting afre of the timbers by the pipe from the heating plant furnace. For time a serious looking fire blazed but a few men soon had hand chemical at work and Ed. Whittemore arrived with the hose belonging to his own building, so that even before the fremen arrived the fire was got under.

MORE EARTHQUAKES TO-DAY.

ROME, Jan. 14.-More earthquakes visited Italy today. They also occur red in this city and caused many buildings here and elsewhere to col lapse. Compared to the frightful shaking of yesterday they were not violent but they have made the work of rescue more difficult as they have scattered panic amongst the people As report after report comes in 1t gives greater reason to believe that the calamity is worse than though. Thousands are dead and tens of thou sands have been badly injured while the loss of homes affects a number which can hardly be estimated.

 VLISSINGHEN, Holland. Jan. H. Crossing the North Sea is now ticklish navigation, and if half as many mines are cited as the crew of the "Princess Juliana" testify, it is easy to cOprehend why all crossings must be made by daylight. The Dutch boats leave Folkestone at eight in the morning and reach Flushing shortly after four. As passengers from Lon don must report for Scotland Yard inspection at five, this means that it is substantially 24-hour business to get from London to Holland.

ITS A SAD TALE
When a mans been married just

on a charge of nOnsupport of his
former family, but when on top of
that
Oscar w. Lodge, 81, a salesman
for the Royal Tea Co., was in the
court of domestic relations yesterday
to face his first wife, Alice, who be-
ieved herself to be his only wife, and
his three children. Oscar wasn't a
bit worried, for the Royal Tea Co.'S
lawyer stood right at his shoulder to
help him out and in his pocket was
a nice document, still almost new,
that was going to prove just how ii
diCulOUs it was to bother Oscar about
these little matters.
The new document was a divorce
decree, granted May 25, 1915, in Mis-
souri,, on charge of wife desertiOn.
Asst States Atty Arkin looked at
the pretty new document and hand
ed it up to Judge Fisher. Then both
Atkins and Judge Fisher began to
ask questions.
Had Oscar ever informed Alice that
he intended to get a divorce? He
had not because he didn't think it
necessary, though he admitted he
knew Alice's address as he had sent
her the weekly amounts ordered by
the court over year ago and the
money had never been returned to
him, but he stopped sending any
money after the first of June when
the pretty new paper was given him.
What grounds had he for alleging
desertion? Why Alice had refused
to live with him in Aurora in 1906,
and though he had moved to Bloom
ington and other desirable towns in
his work as a travelling salesman he

though the law Of the state requires
a residence of one, year.
Had he married again? Yes, two
weeks ago.
Judge Fisher looked at the pretty
new document then he said:
81 am going to hold that this de-
cree of divorce is void because the
domicile of Lodge was in Chicago at
the time Of the abandonment and he
never changed his dOmiCile unless it
might be when he went to St Louis
in April, 1914, and seven months later
filed a petition for divorce in viola

Under these circumstances hold the
divorce void so far as this state is
concerned and the defendant is still

pay her So a week for the support of

Lodge took back his pretty new
document as the bailiff took him in
