The Russians have been reinforced by not less than million men who have newly arrived in Poland and have already been thrown into the ttans struggle In the face of such tremendous odds it is regarded as utterly impossible for Germany to- expect to keep its hold Russian territory very long These great forces are evidently pushing back the Ger man line west of Warsaw, although slowly. The Rus sans have reoccuped Flock the Nstua to the north west of the capital and this clearly shows that the Ger mans are hard pushed A new Russian victory over the Turks was reported today from CaucaSia where the Eleventh Turkish corps reported to have been annhl lated at Karaurgan.

ITALIAN DEAD

TWENTY THOUSAND DEAD TEN THOUSAND INJURED AVEZ-
 ZANO DISTRICT.

AVEZZANO, Jan. 18.-Two thou sand soldiers are now working in the ruins of this town and the other towns in the neighborhood that were des- troyed by the earthquake. It is now apparent that in the Avezzano dis trict alone twenty thousand people have been killed and ten thousand in- jured. As places far removed from that district were also affected by the quake seriously it is assumed that the total losses will be found to have been much greater than they were at first believed to be. The government has striven to relieve the suffering of the survivors so earnestly that much of the destitution has been removed temporarily at least.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The democratic senators will caucus to- night on the ship purchase bill for the purpose of considering certain amend ments. The government ownership feature is objectionable to some of the democratic senators and the republi- can senators are unalterably opposed to the whole bill. The democrats hope, however, to secure enough progress sive votes to tide them over the diff ficulty. If the government ownership and the government controlled steam ship corporations features are elimin- ated the aid of the progressives may be secured. In the meantime the hope of passing other general legislation has been abandoned and some of the pet measures of the administration are sure to go by the board.

ROME, Jan. 1S.- An unofficial estimate of the property loss caused by the great earthquake is sixty mil lion dollars. The government has made no estimate yet, however, but will probably do so as soon as The more pressing necessities have been attended to. The rescue work is pro- ceding very slowly as it is found to be exceedingly difficult The relief work now overshadows the rescue work ind the efforts for relief are well organiz- ed. Thousands of volunteers are work ing and doing everything in their power to help the poverty-stricken survivors. The earthquake tremors have ceased and the danger from a recurrence of the catastrophe is sup posed to have passed.

PRESIDENT TO

THREE HOURS NEXT FRIDAY FOR IMMIGRATION LITER
 ACY TEST.

WASHINGTON, Jan 1S.-Presi- dent Wilson has designated three hours next Friday in which he will give public hearing to ascertain the views of the people on the literacy test in the immigration bill. Taft held a similar hearing before vetoing a similar measure and President Wilson believes the public should be given chance to have their views expressed before taking it on himself to nullify an act of congress, especially on matter in which the people are per sonally interested to so great an ex- tent. It is expected that he will veto the measures unless he finds through the people that the literacy test IS generally believed to be advisable. There is no doubt that he is alto gether opposed to it himself and is really giving the public hearing to re- move responsibility from his own shoulders if he throws the bill out.

 "The infantryman today does his fighting from the ground, under any cover he can find," he said, creeping through thickets, hiding in ditches, be- hind hedges and every spot that is likely to conceal him from the enemy. Naturally the same cover hides from the view of the stretcher bearers pick ing up the wounded after the battle.
 "The French ambulance dog is the French shepherd, an animal which is proven to be far better adapted to the work than the German shepherd dog formerly employed in the French army, because the German dog is more ferocious and is taught to fight the enemy as we'll as to discover the
