ALLIES HAVE BEGUN
 GENERAL OFFENSIVE
GOOD GAINS REPORTED BY BoTI BRITISH AND FRENCH-GER.
 MAN LOSSES ARE HEAVY.

London. - Scarcely had the Ger. man attacks on the British lines around Ypres exhausted themselves and the Frencl offensive north of Ar. ras shown signs of coming to an end than the British became the aggres. sors north of La Basse, and the French and Belgian troops began their at tempt to throw the Germans back from the Yser Canal.
 These attacks, according to the French official account. which. how. ever, does not agree with that from Berlin, were successful and again com pelled the Germans to counter at. tack-the most costly of all opera. tlons in siege warfare. Fighting at both points continues and in Arlois, where the French added further slight gain to those made during the week, and which. combined, constitute the biggest forward movement of either army in the west since the bat tie of the Name.
 Fighting also is in progress in the Woevre, particularly west of the for. est of Le Petre, which the French al so won during the past week.
 There does not appear to be muck change in the general situation in Ga. lieia, although the Austro-German ar. mics have been able to make an ad. ditional slight advance by the with. drawal of the Russian rear guards. which have been holding off the victo. rious troops until their own armies could get into new positions behind the San River. This territory prom fses to be the scene of another big battle, for the Russians, strongly re enforced, will make desperate ef- fort to stem the tide which has been running so strongly against them.
 In the Russian border provinces along the East Prussian frontier iso- lated engagements are occurring in which both sides claim to have the ad- vantage.

FEW TOURISTS VISIT CAIRO
Streets of Egyptian Capital Thronged With Soldiers From All Parts
 of the Empire.

Instead of being thronged with tour ists and winter sojourners, the streets of Cairo and it's hotels are filled this season by the soldiers of every hue, writes the correspondent of the Brook lyn Eagle There are. of course, handful of visitors from France and England. but of the great cosmopoli- tan throng that goes tC dances and race courses and takes Nile Trips or makes desert excursions there is noth- ing to be seen this year. Of Americans there are practically none. The Flor ida and California resorts ought to be profiting in proportion.
 The soldiers rerresented are of many ationalities-British. Indian. Egyptian and Australian The predict. ed attack on the Suez canal by the Turkish forces unde. German officers has naturally formed the chief topic of conversation and speculation. The presence of so many soldiers has re-

 Rome Official announcement was made here that King Victor Emmanuel had declined to accept the resignation of Premier Salandra The Salandra cab iaet will be retained without change. The announcement was received with great rejoicing, and manifested in fa. yor of war.
 The delay in making the official an nouncement is said to have been due to efforts to bring about closer co-opee ration among the various parliamen- tary sections. During the interval the king received number of prominent statesmen. One was Deputy Admiral Pettolo. former minister of marine, The Tribuna says there is a story that Premier Salandra will enlarge his cabinet by including Signor Bettolo and Signnr Partano. former minister of agriculture. Pantano as the repre- sentative of the radicals.
 It is asserted that Former Premier Giolitti will make public statement that he had believed it possible to op. tain from Austria concessions suffi. eient to avert war, but that once war is inevitable he will support the cabi. net.

their opponents Saturday night.
Calculations Are Upset.
It was believed that the ''Y'' would
win Saturday night and thereby cinch
the championship. But the Hi" boys
certainly upset things. AS the league
now stands there are several pOssibih
ties. TIL eminers are out of it and the
other teams should have little or no
difficulty in defeating them in their
remaining games. Should the Cactus
club team defeat the High school in
their next meeting and High school
again defeat '.Y," all three Of these
teams viii be tied. Should "Hii defeat
the Cactus club and then lose to the
'Y." the latter team viii win, while
should 'Hi' refeat both teams it viii
win the championship.
Cactus Club Defeats Miners.
NThe first game Saturday night was
between the Cactus club and the School
Of Mines As was expected, the club
team won. But it came mighty close
to sluffing the game off through fool
ish tactics. Claude Smith, forward for
the Miners, had never played basketball
before in his life. AS a result, on sew
eral OCCASIONS he almost tossed the ball
into the balcony and many times he
failed to even hit the blackboard But,
considering the fact that it was his

we'll and deserves commentator for
the spirit which he displayed. When
other students who really can play
would not turn out, Claude went into
the game to do what he could for his
school, despite the fact that he was to-
tally ignorant of the game He showed
the same spirit in football He had
never played that game, either. Yet he
got out and did what he could to help
That spirit has won many games
against superior ability Had the Gao
tuB players got down to brass tacks
instead Of making sport of an Oppo-
nent they could doubtless have won
easily, despite the absence of their
star forward DeMar Bowman. AS it
was, they came very close to being de
teated and eliminated from the race.
Crowd Il Partisan.
As has been true in every game in
which the Catus club has played, al
most half the audience was made up
from members Of the Cactus club. In
the second game the crowd was parti-
san almost to a man. Every time the
referee made a decision against High
school, the fans objected, while every
decision in favor of High they thought
was all right. As a matter OF fact, both

Boston Braves Are Only Team Which Will Operate with
Larger Salary List than in 1914; Other Teams, by
Getting Rid of the Least Needed Players,
Are Pruning Off the Payrolls
By FRANK C. MENKE.

FEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The mag
m mates Of the two organized ma
jor leagues have welded the AK
to such an extent that they have whit
tied total Of over 100000 from the
1914 payrolls. And the AK swinging
hasn't ceased.
The magnates must retrench They
lost money in 1914 and they don't want
TO duplicate it in 1915. There was but
the payrolls. The Boston Braves
alone viii operate with an increased
salary list.
The Athletics payroll in 1915 will be
smaller, prOpOrtionately, than any 9TH

Chief Bender and Eddie Collins. Col
Inns, 1t was reported, got $4,000 and
Bender and Plank averaged no less
ing down something like $4,000, if not

Saves Athletics $4,000.
The release and sale of that quartet
has reduced the Athletics payroll by
S25,0OO Other releases or sales Of high
salaried Athletic stars may be made
before the season opens.
OF course, the Athletics have gath
cred in Lajoie and his $4,000 contract
but the story is that Connie Mack ana
his crowd viii pay only halJ OF Ine
great FrenChmans salary. The other
half will be paid by Lajoie's former
boss-Charles SOmers.
Maps Cut Oft $4,000.
The Cleveland Maps hope to operate
with a payroll that viii be about 500
300 less than it was in 1914. The first
move was the sale of Lajoie. Some OF
the other Nap players, who were
charged with attempting to disrupt the
team in 1914 are slated to 60 Most
o. them are high priced players. Fur
thermore, the Maps intend to operate
during the 1915 season with the mini
