WINTER STORMS ARE RAGING
LulI In Battle In Poland--Winter Pre-
vents Extensive Military Opera
tlons--Russian Offensive.

Patrograd.--A statement from the
general staff of the Russian army in
the Caucasus made public here says:
1.-THE Turks apparently In order to
relieve the predicament Of the Tenth
army corps, parts Of which reformed
hurriedly after the battle Of Sari KAN
ysh, again have taken the offensive
vigorously in the vicinity of Karaour-
gan.
"The situation Is unchanged on the
other fronts
London Winter storms and floods,
while they are preventing any extern
sive military operations, have not kept
the armies In the east and west from
pursuing the offensive at isolated
points along the two extended fronts.
In the snow-covered hills of the eau
casus the hardy Siberians are search
ing out the routed Turks, who are re-
ported to be surrendering by thou
sands. In Flanders, which is virtually
all under water. the allies assert they
have found it possible to make some
headway.
Only in Poland. where Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg's offensive is
held UP on the banks Of rivers between
him and Warsaw. and In Galicia, where
the Russians have been compelled to
halt their advance, does there seem
to be an almost entire lull in the fight
ing.
The Russians continue their for
ward movement In the Carpathians
and in Bukowina,

TRY TO RETAKE STEINBACH
Germans Develop a Counter-Attack
Paris Says Attacks In Argonne-
AIsace Repulsed.

Paris.-A violent German counter OF.
fensive developed in the Argonne re-
gion about Verdun and in front OF
Steinbach, in Alsace. Air scouts re-
port the arrival of important bodies of
re-enforcements brought to strengthen
the German lines in the Argonne and
along the Aisne.
Evidently deeply concerned at the
rapid progress made by the French
forces on this eastern wing, the invad-
ers began the day with terrific ar
tillery fire all along the line, concen-
trating on the region of Lassigny on
the trenches held by the French at the
crossing of the road from LIE Four de
Paris to Varennes and the Haute Chiv-
auchee road and upon the works to the
north of Verdun These cannonades
were followed at intervals by infan-
try attacks, but all were repulsed by
the French, who maintained their po-
sitions inviolate throughout.
The French artillery position on the
ridge, which dominates Steinbach,
and from which the fire was directed,
which finally dislodged the German
forces when they were compelled to
evacuate on Monday, was subjected to
particularly violent bombardment,
but the condition of the hillsides and
the country all about, due to the heavy
rains, made further attacks by infan
try impossible.

SAYS GERMANS QUIT LILLE
Flooded Condition Of Country Prevents
Infantry operations--Both Sides
Claim Gains in Belgium.

London.--A dispatch to the Daily
Express from Boulogne asserts that
confirmation has been obtained of the
rumors that Germans have evacuated
Lille, and that the city Is now virtual
~ In the possession of the British.
The German and French official re-
ports of the most recent fighting in
the western field are almost repeti-
tion of those issued on preceding days.
A British eye witness, who has been
the official historian Of events at the
front, lays stress ON the important part
played by the artillery and high ex-
plosives In modern warfare and claims
superiority for the allies in artillery,
which Is being used to Its full strength.
From the coast to the River Disc,
where the country Is under water and
the rivers are flooded, the big guns
have been engaged continuously, but
the water and mud prevent the infan-
try from coming into action.
Along the Aisne valley, however,
and through the Champagne district
as far as Western Argonne, the French
are pushing their offensive and organ
izing the ground gained. These gains
have been made at heavy cost.
In Western Argonne the Germans
also claim to have made gains and to
have repulsed French attempt to
carry their trenches in the Woevre
and in Alsace.
