London, Jan. 15-Within a two-houI
motor ride of Paris Emperor William
is directing violent attack on the
French line. The Germans, under the
eyes of their ruler, won an important
victory in the fighting near Soissions,
the point at which the battle line
stretching down from the north to the
point nearest Paris turns to the east
ward.
London, Jan. ia reverse of the
allies along the river Aisne in the
nelghborhood of Scissors is admitted
| in the latest French official statement
although the possible effect of the
German advance is officially minim-
| lied.
| After continuous engagements which
lasted nearly two days, the Germans
forced the French to yield in front of
Vregny, to the east of Crouy. 1t is
explained by the French war office
that the flooding of the river Aisne
destroyed several of the bridges and
thus rendered precarious the commu-
nications of the troops operating on
the right bank.
These troops were withdrawn, as it
was thought impossible to send re-en-
forcements to their support.
"The success is a partial one for
our adversaries," says the French
statement, 'but will have no influence
on the operations as whole"
Petrograd claims that Russian troops
have progressed on the right bank of
the Lower Vistula, where the German
cavalry was repulsed.
Artillery DueIs General.
On the other front the fighting is
made up largely of skirmishes and ar
tillery duels.
The general staff of the Caucasus
army devotes statement to the oper-
atoms in Azerbaipan where, it is ex-
planned, it became expedient to re-
group the Russian forces, necessitat-
ing the evacuation of certain places

ton took place only an engagement by
the Russian advance guard.
British aviators early in the week
dropped bombs on the German Posi-
ton in Antwerp, according to Meth

age done by the bombs has not been

AVEzzAN0 LIKE CEMETARY
CITY is FILLED WITH DEAD AND
WOUNDED.
Desperate Appeals for Help Are Heard
From Those Under the Wrecked
Buildings.

| AvezZano, via Rome, Jan. 16.-Avez
zano is. filled with dead and wounded
and wrecked houses. 1t is like the
ruins of cemetery. Those who es
capped the destruction caused by the
earthquake went heroically to work to
reach those pinned under the fallen
walls. They could not seem to under
stand the delay in dispatching aid to
them from Rome and other centers,
forgetting that more than 10 hours
passed before knowledge of the gray
ity of the disaster reached the outside
authorities.
Nearly all the civic officials of Avez-
zano persisted, including the mayor,
the under project, the judges, the COM
mander of the caribiniers, parish
priests, monks and nuns. The college,
with more than a hundred girl stu
dents, collapsed. The governor of pris-
ons, jailers and the doctors and pat
tents in the hospitals were carried
down in the wreckage. The only not
able person who survived was the
head of the police, Sig. Ottavi, who,
though wounded, has labored since the
overthrow to give succor to the in
jured.
Cry Out for Help.
Desperate appeals for help are heard
on all sides from those under wrecked
buildings, but the efforts of Ottavi and
the few hundred survivors have avail
ed little, for they lacked the imple-
ments with which to effect general
rescue. But about fifty persons, all of
them wounded, were taken out with
great difficulty. They lay without shell
ter and without their wounds being
dressed owing to a lack of medical
supplies. Later doctors arrived and
operated on some of the injured by
the light of blazing torches.
They were taken to the station
where they were made as comfortable
as possible in trucks.
Assistance came at laIt from ArsoIi
and Aquila and large rescuing parties
arrived from Rome and Pescara.
Thirty thousand soldiers have been
throughout the earthquake
district and already large quantities
of provisions and clothing. together
with wood for the construction of huts
have arrived.

see for miles in all directions From
this pipe the farm Will get its high

being put in and the smokestack has

high and was erected at a cost Of
$4,000.
The tunnels running from the
boiler room 10 ne different build
ings are large enough for a man to
wal kthroush and are built of con-
crete. The heating pipes run through
these tunnels. 1t is likely that a
traction engine or some other tenn
porary heating device will be used
until the boilers are put in.
