The Sixty-Second Turkish regiment
was annihilated az the result of a Rus

mort says that only the commandant
and several of his officers and men
were left alive and they were taken
prisoners following the charge.
The total number Of prisoners taken

fourteen guns, 10000 head Of cattle and
enormous quantities of supplies.

NEW DRIVE ON PARIS PLANNED
Ten Corps Of Germany's Best

The French are maintaining their posi-

are being rushed to the new line in
Of another German attempt
to pierce the allied line. Artillery has
been placed so that the entire river
angle is covered and it will be impos-
sible for the Germans to run pontoons
to carry their men over.
There is no doubt now that the Ger
man general staff is planning to renew
its drive against Paris Ten army
corps are reported to have been sent to
the battle front, stretching along the
Aisne and north of Arras. They are
first line veterans who have been with
drawn from the Meuse line and from
Flanders where their places have been
taken by the second line, considered
sufficient to hold the position under
present conditions.
Reports today said that the Ger
mans have made no new gains. AL
ready part of the Paris garrison has
been sent north to strengthen the
frontier line and it is understood that
a part of the new British army Just
landed will be diverted to the present
threatened front.

The blame for the heavy pay roll

the house and senate would perform

the governor believes. He points to
Nebraska as a state where legislative
economy is practiced as well as

runs its legislative affairs with one
half the assistants on the pay roll in
Kansas.
1t is hardly probable that the gov

He does not at this time entertain a
serious thought Of sending a special
on the subject. But it is perfectly
within the rules of the game for an

Thousands Of Soldiers In
Stricken District of Italy
Working Feverishly to Extri-
cate the Dead and Dying.
NO LESS THAN 10000 PERISH
Number of Injured Estimated
at Twice That Figure.
In Two Cities at Least $4,000
People Were Killed.

Rome, Jan. 16.-Rescue and
relief work is being pushed with
feverish haste in the earthquake
stricken districts of Italy. Thou
sands of soldiers are on the
ground and at work digging out
and burying the victims and car
ing for the survivors.
The need of the latter, of
whom there are thousands upon
thousands, homeless and gen
orally penniless, is urgent, and
the people, from the king down,
are doing all possible to alleviate
their condition. The cold wealth
er, which continues. adds to the
terrible suffering and temporary
buildings Of wood are being
erected as fast as possible to
house the homeless.
The list of dead can still only
be estimated, but from what is
known it is believed at least
10000 persons perished and that
twice that number were injured.
Avezzano, with probably ten
thousand, and Sora with four
thousand dead, were the heav-
lest sufferers. The other VIC
Tins are credited to the three
score or more of towns and vii
lagos that felt the effects of the
shocks.
One Great Cemetery.
Just how severely the Marsica dis
trict. in which Avezzano is located suf
fered. is best told in a terse telegram
which Monsignor Bagnoli, bishop Of the
Marsica region, sent to Pope Benedict.
The telegram read:

"A few villages in the diocese are i'm
