ALLIES DEFEATED
WESTERN THEATRE
(By Associated Press.)

Berlin Jan. 13.-Today's official
statement says German victories at
several points along the western front
marked the days fighting, and several
Allied attacks were repulsed. Heavy
artillery again proved itself potent
factor in driving the Allies from their
trenches near the Belgian coast, where
heavy losses were inflicted upon Field
Marshal French's army.
Bad weather and almost impossible
roads continue to hamper operations
in Poland, and General Won Hinden-
berg has been unable to advance. Both
armies in that area occupy practically
the same positions as on yesterday,
and but little fighting has been in
dulged in during the past twenty-four
Ihours.
No information concerning opera
tons in the Carpathians and the Aus
trian crownland, Bukwina, is given in
today's statement.

ROME, Jan. 13.-The most serious
earthquake ever recorded in the his
tory of Italy manifested itself here
early this morning, the tremors con-
tinuing during several minutes, and
resulting in property damage the
extent of which cannot be accurately
estimated at noon. Numerous build
ing sustained serious injury during
the quake, and the loss will undoubted-
ly total many thousands of dollars.
The entire populace, many of whom
were sleeping when the quake visited
Rome, rushed into the streets to
avoid injury from falling masonry and
flying debris, virtual panis existing
during the continuance of the trem-
ors. Many persons sustained minor
injuries during the rush to places of
safety, but no loss of life has yet been
reported.
Today's disaster is reported the most
serious since the earthquake in 1899,
which resulted in the destruction of
considerable property, though no lives
were forfeited.
The extent of damage done in out
lying districts is unknown in Rome al
this hour, interrupted telegraphic COM
munication blocking all efforts to Sc
cure reports for those sections believ-
ed to have been affected.
