Serbia, to the Balkan News agency
says;
Confirmation has been received Of the
report that it is the intention OF great

Aid Of Progressive Republicans
to Pass Ship Bill

Washington, D. G., Feb. 3.-Closely
guarded plans Of the Senate administra-
tion Democrats for saving the ship bill
developed to-day as leaving the bolting
Democrats ont OF the reckoning entirely
and making the bill agreeable to enough
progressive Republicans to overcome the
defectons. The plan finally agreed upon
was TO move as an amendment TO the

the commerce committee 20 return the
bill with amendments providing that the
government will not lease ships to prl-
yate corporations for longer periods than

But Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg's New Drive at
Warsaw Availed Little
BOTH SIDES STRONGLY
ENTRENCHED THERE
The Official Russian Report
Claims Repulse Of
Germans

Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's new
drive at Warsaw apparently has accom-
plished little more thus far than the WIN
ming Of comparatively few Russian ad-
vanced positions. Neither Berlin nor
Petrograd official reports indicate that
marked changes have resulted from the
fighting, which is daily becoming more
intense. Both sides occupy strongly en-
trenched positions, and the warfare close
" resembles that in France.
The official Russian report claims that
the German attacks west OF Warsaw
were repulsed and that some trenches
taken previously by the Germans were
retaken. Russian successes also were
claimed in the fighting in the Carpa-
thians.
The fighting continues between the
British and Turkish forces in Arabia
near the head of the Persian gulf, where
a small force of Turks has taken the or
fensiye.
According to the German version OF
the recent fighting in Poland, as given
in the official report to-day from Berlin,
the Russians have been forced back near
Ho..mow. II is said the Germans cap
tured the village and took 1000 prison
ersa The Russian attacks elsewhere, the
German war Office asserts, were repulsed.
Except for the renewal of infantry
fighting near Perthes, which apparently
was not of advantage to either side,
only artillery exchanges were in prog
ress yesterday in France and Belgium.

WELLS FINALLY GOES
TO WAR.

~ WAos
Pugilism has contributed another
OF its notables to the trenches.
Ahearn was the most recent Of the
knights of fisticuffs to declare his
intention to enlist with the allies.
Now comes the news that Bombar-
der Wells has gone to war.
Bombardier has suffered a lot Of
criticism recently because he did not
return to the army when war broke
out. Wells was q soldier before he
became known as a fighter, but
those were In. peaceful days, when
there was not much danger In toting
\ rife and drawing provisions from
King George.
Since Wells has actually enlisted,
the populace across the pond seem
Modified. The fighter now asserts
that he merely held OF until he made
enough to insure a livelihood for his
family and that the Britons have no
cause to complain anyway, since his
two brothers enlisted at the first call
for volunteers and one gave up his
life almost in the first British
charge of the conflict.
Bomtardier pays quite a tribute
to Frank Moran. He says that when
fighting the American. il dawned on
him that after all his place was In
the trenches. rather than In the
squared circle.
