Feb. Ut was officially announced
today that general hostiIities havs

stubborn attacks by the allies are de-

The official report declares that
both the French and English are max

Yesterday and last night" Il says,
ESPECIALLY stubborn French and Eng
Iish attacks were begun at many
points in an organized attempt to re-
capture the positions lost on January

Of Rheims and In the Champagne re-
gion we took two officers and ITO men
DURING a fight In which we also de-

"a great part Of this fighting was Of
the fiercest character and at close
quarters. Excepting certain districts,
where the fighting continues, the enc

GERMANY

BERLIN, Feb, 17.-(via wireless TO
London.) More than fifty thousand
prisoners Of war, fifty cannon, some
OF heavy caIibre, sixty machine guns
and an enormous quantity Of war ma
terials are the prizes Of General Won
Hindenburg's drive against the Rus
slams in east Prussia. The ground
over which the retreating Russian
army passed is literally covered with
dead and wounded members OF the
cars fighting forces. Most Of the
wounded will die, as the weather con-
ditions are the worst Of the war to
date. While the temperature stays at
the freezins point, rains deluge the
battle field day and night, materially
slowing up progress. But the official
statement declares that the Russians
are being pursued at all points.
For nine days the battle ragged In
the Mazurian lakes region" the report
says, "and It has resulted In the over
Whetminp defeat Of the entire Russian
tenth army, which 10 now a disorgan-
lied mass. At least eleven Infantry
and seven cavalry divisions Of the
enemy were engaged. Not only have
we driven them out Of their strongly
entrenched positions which they had
constructed at great cost Of time, but
we have now forced them across the
frontier and they are utterly defeated
at every point. Only remnants Of their
divisions managed to save themselves
by taking refuge in the wooded
heights and dense forests east Of SUI
walki and Au0ustovo where they are
now being pursued. Their losses have
parativeIy small.
"The kaiser was present at the de-
cisive fighting on the centre Of the
line. The victory was obtained by
our east Prussian troops who, while
youno for such work, proved their
worth and have disresarded the fear
fui weather conditions, steadily per
forming tho tasks set for them. Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg directed the
operations with Generals Ven ETC
horn and Won BueIow In direct COM
mand OF the forces"
The unofficial reports received de-
clare that the Germans successfully
outfianked the Russians who believed
that they were secure In their heavily
entrenched positions because Of the
snow. The German Offensive. how
sver. was started on February six
when The left wing, oomoossd entire.

cation. Just as the attack was to be
delivered, a thaw set In, followed by
rains. The main Russian column was
partly enveIoped before the command
ing officer realized what was being
done. He then ordered precipitate
retreat which at times resembIed a
rout. The Russian commander in chief
narrowly escaped capture and that
any portion Of the tenth army eseap-
ed was due to the fearful weather con-
ditions.

PEERLESS LIVE AXLE TESTS.
Raw Materials Are A~naIy.ed
Severely before used.

There Is NJ part OF an automobile
which IL subjected to greater strain or
more severe usage than the live axle.
through which the power OF the motor is
finally delivered to the rear wheels"
says G. T. Silver. "Ali the work OF
driving the car n imposed on this part.
and its failure at any time means the
GRIPPING OF the car, for without this
shaft the driving wheels ,cannot be
turned. In the Peerless car the i'm
portance OF this part Is demonstrated
for Peerless live shafts are recognized
as the most rugged and dependable
made.
The material used IL chrome-nickel
steel. the highest priced material on the
market. The raw product is analyzed
In the Peerless physical laboratory and
is required to come up to the specifca.
lions determined by specific formulate.
The steel is so strong and t>ngh that
its elastic limit Is 10000 pounds TO
10000 pounds per square inch. This
means that the Peerless live shaft will
support a pulling strain OF IS to IS tons
without passing the elastic limit-a fac
tor OF safety which every automobile
expert acknowledges Is a generous in
.surance policy.
An interesting test TO which the
Peerless live shaft is subjected before
being accepted for use is the tors,on
inspection. In this operation one end of
the shaft Ia held rigid in a special test
ing machine and the other end Is turned
until eight full revolutions have been
made. II the material then shows any
sign OF breaking or cracking 1t is re-
tected as UNFIT for use"
