spread. monopollzes attention.
While the Russians are on the Of
fenslve IN East prussian, in north
western Poland and the passes OF the
Garpathlans. the Germans continue
their attacks on the Russian lines
along the Ba2ura and Rawka rivers.
The invaders reached the Rawka line
about the middle OF December and
since that time have made at least
half n dozen attacks In force against
the Russian trenches, each time at
updouhted heavy cost.
Further Attacks Projected.
Nothing daunted. however. they
have been repeating the attacks dur
ing the last week. and while they
have made slight advance IL has
been accomplished only after further
great losses, according 10 the reports
from petrograd. Now Il Ii believed
that the Germans are preparing for
still another onslaught for only by
compelling the Russians to strengthen
their lines protecting Warsaw. can
they hope 10 divert the Russian at
inCks from East Prussia and Hungary.
Military men here hold 20 the be-
lief that the Germans are attempting
what seems virtually the impossible
in their efforts TO force their way
through to Warsaw. The RawlSa and

| Second Line OF Defense.
Should the Germans break through
! this barrier there Is another line of
entertainments half way between the
| Bzura and Warsaw, with Blonie as
| the center which would have to be
forced before the Polish capital fell.
: In the CarpathianH the Austrians
and Germans are offering vigorous
resistance to the Russians and a de-
cision has not been reached In the
battle, which has been In progress
| here for some days.
The statement In the official report
that there has been fighting TO the
southeast of Uzok pass, In the interior
Of Dukla pass and TO the southeast
OF Beskld pass, indicates the extent
OF the struggle for the possession OF
these important strategic points.
The attempt OF a German subma-
rlne, as officially reported, 10 torpedo

attracted a great deal OF attention In
England, where II Is strongly COM

Fighting Near suex Canal.
There has been another skirmish
between the British and Turkish
scouts east OF the Snez canal, near
lsmaillo. The Turks were driven off
with some loss and the British had
six men wounded. The opinion stlll
prevails In London that the Turks will
not attempt TO cross the desert with n
large force. and that the present pin

the British to keep troops in Egypt.
