PETROGRAD, Jan. s.-Another
German offensive against Warsaw is
developing. Advices from the Polish
front tonight show that the German
troops, who have been augmented by
reinforcements from the western
front are violently attacking the
Russian positions. The German Ar

least one million men. The nghtins

the left bank Of the vistula where
the Germans are again endeavoring

have frozen over, and this will en-
able both sides to bring their artil-
lery to the front, unless tho long,
threatened snow should fall heavily.
Russian officials believe that the
present is the final effort Of the Ger
mans to take Warsaw. If II fails,
they believe Won Hindenburg will
withdraw his forces some distance
farther to the westward, where he
has already had very strong trenches
prepared. Il is stated here that the
Germans are sacrificing men by the
thousands in their present movement
and that their losses to date are the
heaviest Of tho campaign.
The invasion Of Hungary has been
checked by 4 heavy fall Of snow

900 900 went across, compared to e.,
500 600 in October, 1913. American
wheat can be exported only through
France or England. unless the con-
signors are willing to risk running
the blockade with their cargoes. Less
than forty per cent of the American
wheat crop. it is stated, is needed for
domestic consumption. In the four
months ending November 1913,
Europe called for only 47,000,00O
bushels OF American wheat. In four
months ending es0yesmbar. E1rope-
had taken approximately 10000 900
bushels of American wheat which in
.dicates, Holm declared. that Europe
means to double her importations OF
American wheat If such is possible.
Complete statistics covering the
export trade of the United States are
not available now. The export trade
of the United States has been seri-
ously curtailed. American vessels
carrying wheat are forced to clear
for British or French ports. The
United States has been cut off al
most altogether from its prosperous
wheat markets of middle and south
ern Europe. Cargoes have been sub
jected to rigid scrutiny. In face OF
these incidents, however, he said,
American wheat export figures are
double the volume they were during
the fall Of 1913. The allies, Holm
added, want almost all of our wheat
and they will probably have to pay
