Germans Are on Offensive In East

Germans Are on Offensive In East.
Along an irregular battle front eX-
tending from the Bzura river south
and southwest for eighty miles, the
Russians and Germans again are en-
gagged in a terrific battle.
The Germans are again on the Of
fensive along this whole front, but
the Russians are occupying positions
of great strength and reports receiv-
ed from the front state that the Ger
man attacks are being repulsed at all
points where their successful advance
would prove a menace to the Rus
SLAMS.
At some points the Germans have
succeeded in capturing few of the
Russian trenches, only to lose them in
counter attacks by the forces Of
Grand Duke Nicholas.
The only point where the Germans
have succeeded in holding captured
ground is about Bolimow, where they
have take npart of the town of Borji-
NOW. The Russians still hold their
trenches on the western outskirts Of
Borjimow and are making night and
day attacks to drive the Germans
back.
The Germans suffered heavy losses
in their capture of Borjimow, and it
is believed that they will be unable
to hold the ground they have won.
At points along the Pilica river the
Germans, by the sacrifice of thou
sands of men, have succeeded in
crossing the stream.

Germans Gain In Warsaw Region and

The correspondent of the Berlin

Russians are conducting a series OF
violent frontal attacks on the Austrian
positions along the Dunajac river to
the east OF Cracow, and are bending
every effort to push toward the 1or-
tress, which has been their goal Tor
two months.
All these attacks, the correspondent
adds, had been repulsed with heavy
losses, owing to the excellence OF tue
Austrian positions.
The capture of Borjimow, IN Po-
land, on the road to Warsaw is deem
ed highly important, according to the
press bureau. In this connection it
says:
"The position is described as COM
manding a wide sweep Of the sur
rounding countr,, and the possession
thereof greatly facilitates the German
advance upon Warsaw.
The I0kal Anzeiger's military cor
respondent regards it as probable that
the Germans will succeed in breaking

CITY POLICE FORCE
HAS BEEN REDUCED

Declaring that the undesirable ele
ment in this city has been reduced to
such a degree that the present city
police force is superfluous, Police Com
missioner William Egerer this morn
ing announced changes in the de-
partment which will necessitate the
resignation of Deputy Marshal Jenk-
ms.
The shakeup has occurred in line
with the police commissioners plan of
municipal economy, which, he SAYS,
will not reduce the efficiency of the
police force and will enable the city
to save monthly the salary of one
deputy.
Deputy Marshal Tyson, who for the
past 4 or 5 months has been on duty
during the day, will continue in his
present position and Marshal Yancy
McFadden, according to announcement
by the police commission, will fill the
vacancy caused by the release of
Jenkins, who has been employed on
night duty.
The release of jenkins. which will
take place Immediately, is based on
economic reasons and is not the result
of inefficiency, according to the police
commissioner.

MANY TRAVELLERS
WILL JOURNEY
TO Orient

That the war in Europe, the eNpoSi-
tiCn in San Francisco and the efforts
put forth by the Pacific Mail Company
TO interest American tourists in the
Far East will result in a greatly in
creased tourist traffic to Japan this
spring is the opinion expressed by a
number of prominent traffic men who
: have written on the subject to G. II.
COrse. Jr., general passenger agent of
the San Francisco overland route, at
Yokohama.
Recent mails have brought a num-
Der of examples of the advertising
campaign which the Pacific NAL and
the San Francisco Overland Route are
carrying on in America. Some time
ago Mr.. ShOnO. manager of the Japan
Tourist bureau. issued a circular let
ter in which he called attention to
the fact that Japan's paTticipat on in
the European war would in no way
affect the safety or the pleasure Of
travel to Japan. This letter has been
incorporated in a handsome leaflet by
wide distribution. In addition to this
the acting general passenger agent Of
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
has sent personal letter to all the
tourist agents and principal railway
passenger agents in the United States,
Canada and Europe calling attention
to the fact that through passengers to
the Orient may stop over in San Fran
cisco and see the exposition. ST..
Some time ago Mr.. Corse at tiffin
in Toxic attended by prominent Japan
csc hotel men proposed that number
of framed pictures of Japanese scenes
be supplied to the San Francisco 0y-
erland Route to be posted in waiting
rooms of hotel and railway stations in
prominent points. This work is now
being carried out and is a part OF a
great scheme to advertise the attrac-
tions of Japan, the first results of
which win doubtless be seen this
spring.
