thousands of prisoners in our hands.
Between the Vistula and the Pr

possession of trenches, especially in
the region of the Bzura and Rawka
rivers
Our losses have been heavy, due
to the accuracy of the German artii-
lery, but the German casualties have
been much heavier. At some points
the attacks amounted to no less than
slaughter of the German soldiers At
Bolimow the Germans attempted to
assume the offensive and were de-
feated. The field is covered with
corpses that have lain there since

ALLIES CAPTURE CITY.
GERMANS FOUGHT DESPERATELY
TO HOLD STEINBAcH FROM
THE FRENCH.
CERNAY is BEING ATTACKED
MueIhausen Is Threatened From Two
Sides as Heavy Guns Batter Down
Dsfenses in AIsace--Bsrlin Con-
firms Loss of Town.

London, Jan. 6.-The allies have en-
tered Steinbach, the town in Alsace
for which they have been battling a
week. The fall of Steinbach was adj
mitted in an official statement at Ber-
lin
The next move by the French will
be the tightening of their lines at
Cernay (also called Seunheim), which
they are attacking violently. With
the two towns, in their possession the
way will be clear to the environs of
Muelhausen-the objective Of the Up
per Alsace campaign. Cernay is three
miles from Steinbach and eight miles
from Muelhausen.
French guns massed before Altkirch
continue their bombardment of that
important railway center, which also
IS but eight miles from Muelhausen,
bat slightly west of south. Steinbach,
Celnay, Thanh and Aspach are
grouped just north of west of Muel-
hansen.
Thus, Muelhausen is threatened
from two quarters-its front on the
west and its left flank on the south.
First the official accounts related
the taking Of "a few houses" by the
French troops. The furious house-to-
house fighting continued and the
French gradually pressed the invaders
back. A day later the French official
statement recorded the capture of IAN
other row of houses" Today the state
ment told of the taking of the en-
vFons of the church and the GENE
terry. The night official made this an
nouncement:
AT Steinbach we carried the whole
village"
The Cernay battle is productive of
more details of the actual progress
of the attack and counter-attack. Of
fetal reports state that in the region
of Cernay the French carried the Ger
man works on the height to the west
of the town. The Germans returned
to the attack, but were repulsed. Later
during the night, with heavier bodies
of troops, they came on again and
with such fury that the French were
compelled to retire. The French re-
formed and directed night counter
attack, which resulted in the routing
of the Germans.
Meanwhile the fighting on the
French right was continuing with
the town itself the field of battle.
During the night the French fought
their way into the town, taking pos
session of the church quarter. The
German reserves directed a counter
attack in force, and there was heavy
fighting in the open, in which the
bayonet was used by both sides in the
dark
The French here also were COM
PEELED to retire, but as in the fight
ms on the hill, they reformed and
retook the neighborhood of the cathe-
dral, digging themselves in. At
latest reports they were holding their
advantage against violent counter
attacks of the Germans.

SCORNs FILIPINO RULE
TAFT TELLS SENATE. BODY 1T
MEANS ERA OF DEATH.
Former President Declares Throat
Cutting Would Begin After Lib
erty Is Granted.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Former Presi-
dent William Howard Taft made
special trip to Washington to plead
with the senate committee on the
philippines not to enact legislation at
this time holding out promise to the
philippines of ultimate independence.
They are not ready yet, nor quail
ned for self government" said Mr..
Taft, speaking as al expert because of
his Intimate knowledge of the Fill
pinos gained during his stay on the
Islands as governor. He quoted the
words of prominent Filipino: THE
American ships would not get around
the islands in leaving Us to independ-
ence before the throat-cutting would
begin
i don't care for the power of the
United States in the Philippines.
would like for this country to get out
of the islands, so far as this country
alone is concerned; but | am thinking
about the poor people of the islands.
They are not III for seIf-government.
They don't like me out there because
/ told them so, AND told them the
truth. You viii find that the case
with lot of people. They do not like
to be told the truth.
Now" he continued, what time do
l think will be necessary to train the
Filipinos for self-government? The
time that shall give those people an
opportunity to learn English so that
they shall be an English-speak,lg
people. That will take more than
one generation and probably more
than two, if you count 80 years as
a generation. You can't educate all
of the people-you haven't got the
money"

TEUToNS TAKE RUSS POSITION
Berlin Says 1000 Prisoners Were

Berlin, Jan. 5.-Main headquarters

the following statement:
Several artillery fights occurred
along the whole western front. An
infantry attack to the north of st.
Menehould was repulsed, with severe
loss to the French.
There is no change in the situa-
ton in East Prussia. In North Po-
land, at Borzymow, on the west bank
of the Vistuis, we took a strong Rus
sian position. capturing 1000 prisoners
and six machine guns. The enemy's
attempt to retake the position was
repulsed, with heavy losses. To the
eastward of the Rawka our attack is
proceeding.
Russian reports of successes in the
vicinity of Inowlodz are pure inven-
lions. Their attacks were repulsed,
with heavy losses, ceasing entirely on
Saturday. Our situation is unchanged.
