 DEFEAT ALONG AISNE
Little Active Warning Re ported From East Theatre Where Russians Have Only Small Advance Battles.

LONDON, Jan. 14-With Emperor William personally directing the Ger man assaults, the Allies suffered a reverse along the River Aisne in the neighborhood of soissons.
 This was admitted in the latest French official report although it is possible the erect of the German ad- vance is officially minimized. After continuous engagements lasting al- most two days, the Germans forced the French to yield in front of Vreg- ny and to the east of Crouy. It is explained by the French that , the flooding of the River Aisne de- stroyed several bridges and thus ren- dered precarious communications of troops operating on the right bank. These troops were withdrawn as it was thought impossible to send them endorsements Several thousand French prisoners were captured
 British aviators early in the week dropped bombs on the German posi- ton at Antwerp. according 10 a Meth erlands newspaper dispatch. Dam age by the bombs was not ascer. tained.

Jan. 14-Cochise coun- ty officials caused the first real leg. islative sensation when they today telegraphed President Sims Of the senate outlining existing conditions at the Cochise county hospital where sixty inmates are provided with but three days provisions. or this mum Der only twelve are legally qualified to benefit under the proposed state pension law. Chairman Sparks of the Cochise county Board of Super visors, signed the telegram and urged that the state officials look to the relief os the situation
 There has been some doubt of the attitude the legislature would take on this subject as the pension law in the form adopted is unavoidable and its legality is now before the superior court of Yayapai county for settlement Many members would be just as well pleased if the law had never been enacted and discuss ion of the measure occupied the at tention of the senate in an hours executive session this afternoon
 At the close of the session Sims filed the Cochise officials a telegram informing them that following a com ference with Governor Hunt and the Board of Control. be unonicially ad- vised them 10 ignore the Mothers Pension law regarding the county hospital This has been interpreted here to mean that the attitude of the senate will be favorable to an early repeal of this measure.
 The proposed statute providing penalties for the violation of Arizo- mas prohibition amendment and es- tablishing what shall constitute a yi- olation made its appearance in both houses of the legislature today The senate bill being introduced by Drach man and the house bin by Powers. The bin is similar to that framed by | prohibition leaders at the recent Tucson meeting and makes anything containing one-half of one percent alcohol for the purposes of the act. an intoxicating liquor, provides se- we're penalties for the first offense and makes the second onense or yi- olation a felony punishable by inn Iprisonment without a fine
 Existence of a government license on the premises is evidence of inten- ton to violate the statute which un- der the law is a crime.
