Connecticut congressman had always been the closest of friends and that Reillys defeat had hurt him more tkan anything else. He said that down south the people of his state knew good thing when they saw it but he was afraid that sometimes the habit in New England was to keep the best man at home and send the worst to congress. He said that that had no reference to Congressman Tilson, whom he knew and admired, but he felt that Congressman Reilly was so close a friend that he was sorry to see him beaten.
 He declared that Reilly, on his first appearance in congress, received a more important committee assignment than Tilson had in his four years. He spoke of the record of the democratic congress and said that the trouble at the last election was that the nation had not had time to try out the measures which the democrats had passed

GENERAL REACTION
 ON STOCK EXCHANGE
Due to Persistent Selling, Largely
 for Foreign Account.

New York, Jan. 22, Wall St, 10:30 a. m.-Stocks showed some unccr- tainty at the opening, a few of the leaders recording slight losses; but a fresh buying movement soon set in, with the result that some of yester days high prices were speedily eclipsed. Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Lehigh Valley, St. Paul, Louis vile and Nashville, New Haven and New York Central rose a point. EN- captions to the general tendency were Canadian Pacific and Smelling, which lost a point. Reading and Penn sylyania manifested some carly heavi- ness, but the entire list strengthened by the end of the half hour.

 From the Disc to the Argonne: The situation in the vicinity of Sois- sons shows no change. Near Berry Au-Bac a trench which we were com- pelled to evacuate following a violent bonn bardment was recaptured by us. In the region of Perthes the enemy delivered an attack during the night of Jan. 2O-21 at a point northwest of Beausejour, but without success

 Between the Mouse and the Mihiel in the Forest of Apremont, an exceedingly violent bombardment made it impossible for us to retain the German trenches occupied by us yesterday for a distance of 15o yards.
 ITO the northwest of Pont-A- Mousson, in the forest of Le Pretre the enemy yesterday recaptured a portion of the trenches taken by us January 20, but we are maintaining ourselves at all other points of this position.
 Tn the Vos kes the enemy hurled against St. Die' six projectiles of great calibre, without however, doing any serious damage.

 At a point between Mount Bon- homme and Mount Schlucht there has been an artillery engagement in which the German batteries were re- duced to silence.

SKfNPE EVACUATED
 BY kA|SER'S FORCES
Russians Within Twenty Niles of
 German Frontier.

London, Jan. 22, 12:35 p. m.-News despatches referring to the situation m Poland set forth that north of the Vistula, in the vicinity of Lipno, Rus sian advance guards are within twen- ty miles of the German frontier, while to the northeast the Germans have evacuated Skempe, which is about twenty-five miles from the Prussan border and due southeast of Thorn. If the Russians follow up their success at Skempe and con- tinue their forward movement, it will give them an unbroken front, in the opinion of British observers, menac- ingly near German territory
 The western allies are watching this region just now with great inter- est, and despatches from Petrograd say that the Russians are pinning high hopes this offensive thrust near the German line. Elsewhere they are planning merely to hold their own, barring, of course, the advance through Pennsylvania. The Austrians, however. appear not to have been crushed by their reverses in Bukowina for the Russians themselves refer to the attempted Austriap offensive. Other news despatches tell of the movement of Austrian achievements aimed to check the Russian advance.
 Only Great Conflict
 Tn the western arena of the war the battle at Soissons still ranks as the only great conflict during many weeks past There has been fighting at many points, but a trench here and a few yards there is all that either side has gained. If the German plan is a renewed general offensive or a serious concentrated attack at some strategic point, Is has not yet ma terialized.
 The Turks claimed to nave arrest ed the Russian advance in the Cauca- sus, but they gave no details. The British press continues to assert that the proposed Turkish invasion of Egypt is doomed to failure, but it gives credence to many reports to the effect that such invasion surely will be attempted.
 Jews Fleeing to Egypt.
 The suffering in Belgium, which the help of America has gone far to relieve. is for the moment in the background when compared to the Restitution of nOn-cOm batantS in Palestine, Poland and the Carpath ians. From Palestine, Jewish colon ists continue to flee to Egypt, being conveyed as rapidly as possible by the American cruiser Tennessee. The Restitution of Poland is said to be terrible, and a new appeal for aid has been issued by Ignace Paderew- ski and Henry Sienkiewicz, who speak for all factions. It is said that the sit uation in Poland is far worse than it is in Belgium. The fleeing population of Bukowina are living like animals in caves and fighting with wolves for such sustenance as the snoW-cOvered country affords.
