that both were re-arranEed in the

While n T. evident that these Al
lacks and counter attacks cost both
sides heavily they made no great dif-
ference In the relative positions OF the
oppostng armies. They convey the
intimation. however. that the Germans
have BY no means given ID the idea
OF delivering a smashing blow al the
allied armies.
With the approach OF drier weather
and the consequent hardening % the
ground they brought I'd new troops
with the Inception OF getting in their
blow before the full strength OF the
Anglo french force was ready TO
meet them.
Thus far they have made little. n
any Roadway but undismayed. are
sending still more troops trough

that the Anglo-French armies have
been greatly strengthened since then
they themselves must have increased
their striking power.
The allies. however. are confident
OF their ability TO hold their present
mes and move forward when all pre-
paratiOns are completed.

Carpathians. where the Austro-Ger.
mans have brought up new armies TO

The Turks. by bringing up their
Fifth army corps. have been able 10
resume the offensive in the Caucasus,
but a Russian report says they have
suffered another setback. Nothing
further has been heard Of the Turkish

The British admiralty tonight Is.

reports hat some British ships had
been sunk in the naval battle in the

night II was believed an bad been

The Fishermen had been working
on Windmill Point, twelve miles up
the north shore OF Lake Erie. They
were returning at nightfall when they
were held up by a channel Of open
water. Men with dog teams were
sent south and IL was found that the
break had been caused by the shift
ing Of a big boat during the after
noon and extended 10 the steel plant
district, five miles west OF the harbOr
entrance.
The fishermen had assembled in
crowds. about a half mile out, await.
ing the arrival of a boat or a shift In
the Ice that would bring them in.
About 9 o'clock IL was discovered that
a huge section Of the ice on which
they had gathered had broken free
and was drifting toward the head OF
the river.
Word Of the fshermen's plight had
in the meantime reached the police.
and two fire tugs were sent out. II
took the boats until midnight to pick
mp the men and dogs and land them
az the harbor entrance. There were
reports Of men still missing. but II

break occurred, and will return in the
morning.

ON Auditor-Treasurcr Matter.


The first meeting of the committee
of which Senator Noah Bowman is
chairman instructed to investigate the
fee incomes of State Treasurer Earl
Akers and State Auditor w. E. Davis,
will hold meeting late this afternoon.
This Investigation has for its ulti-
mate purpose a proposal to draft q
law by which certain fees now re-
tanned by these two officers may be die
verted to the general funds of the
state.
The special committee, including
Senator Francis c. Price of Clark and
Senator Mahin Of Smith, was named
in pursuance of a resolution by Sena-
tor Davis of Bourbon. Its report Ia
expected to include the amount ana
character of fees now retained by the
officers mentioned with recommends
tions as to the character of legisla-
ton necessary to effectually cut them
off,
