RUSSIANS RE-CAPTURE TRENCHES
after VIGOROUS bAY0NET CHARGE

PeroGrad, via London, Jan. 2S-9.40
A. M<-In a stubborn fight in the vi
entity of Sochaczew, on the Bzura
river, the Germans on Tuesday broke
through into the Russian trenches,
from which they were only repulsed
after bayonet charges. At Atlanka,
two miles north of SochacZew, in a
battle lasting 80 minutes, the Ger
mans lost 500 killed.
A Russian officer commanding a
battery of machine guns, gave the fol-
lowing account of this fighting:
AT dusk our battery was ordered
to take a certain position to check
the Germans. Within an hour trenches
were dug and the battery masked. We
lay all night waiting for the attack.
Before us was a clear space of 1000
yards to a hill on which there We're
trees.
with the coming of daylight we be-
came impatient and began to fear
that the Germans did not intend to at
tack. Suddenly, at the end of the
field, we noticed a detachment of cav

New York, Jan. "a statement from
James NJ Sullivan, American minister
to the Dominican Republic. denying all
the charges OF unfitness against him
made chiefly by Walker w. Wick. former
receiver general Of customs of Santo
Domingo, was read in evidence today at
the hearings into the charges before Sen
ator-elect Phelan.
The statement received by mail was
supported by documentary evidence and
made counter-charges against Wick. Sui
Ivan declared that he had been made
the victim of a newspaper campaign en-
gineered by Wick to attack his character
and conduct, which was unsupported by
facts. He said that certain newspapers
in the United States had championed the
cause of as "audacious a band of pirates
as ever sailed the Caribbean"
Sullivan said he had no apology to
make for recommending the Banco Ma
cional as the depository for the receiver
ship funds, which Wick Charges was an
untrustworthy institution, and which had
been accused Of seeking the appointment
of Sullivan in order to exploit the island.
"Tf Wick was unwilling to make the
change he would have scarcely have act
ed upon my recommendation" wrote the
minister. THE fact is that the desire
to make further change was born in
Wick some months later for reasons best
known to himself, and in the campaign
he then opened on the Banco Nacional

the center of the peninsula, while per-
haps a third will attempt, to reach
Suez along the southerly route from
Akabah.
All these routes are without water
and those to the north and south are
open to flank attacks from the Medi-
terranean and Red seas respectively. 1t
is believed here that the Turks who
have been in contact with the British
to the east Of FL Kantara worked their
way westward under the protection of
the sand dunes. This would leave them
open only to attack from aeroplanes and
from the sea.
Desperate fighting marked yesterday,
the anniversary of Emperor William
birthday, at many points on the west
ern front, but the claims of the con-
tending armies as to the results OF
these engagements are widely at vari-
ance Generally speaking the allies say
the German attacks were costly fail
ures, while the Germans assert that the
French and British-but notably the
British-attacks in Flanders, broke down.
The engagement in the North Sea last
Sunday has developed a similar discrep-
ancy in the reported outcome. The
war lords of Great Britain insist that
the battle cruiser Lion was the only big
ship to be seriously damaged. On the
other hand, wireless reports from Ber-
lin admit the loss of the German cruiser
Bluecher, but assert that the Germans
inflicted far greater punishment than
this on the English.
