COMPLETE CHANGE IN SITUATION
IN EAST MAY FOLLOW RUS
SIAN VICTORY OVER
OTTOMANS.
MUSCOvITES' INVASION
OF HUNGARY CONTINUES
Field Marshal ven Hindenburg, the
German Commander in Poland,
Can Move But Slowly Because
Of the Mud, In Operations
Against Warsaw.

London, Jan. "a complete change
in the situation in the near east may
be brought about by the Russian vic:
tory over the Turks in the Caucasus
If the Turkish defeat is as sweeping
as has been officially reported-the
virtual destruction of two Turkish
army corps and the repulse of a third
the Turkish menace against the
Russians in Trans Caucasus has been
removed.
The loss of SO many of their best
trained officers and men, it is be-
lieved here, will compel the Turks to
give up any ambition they had of in
vading their enemy's territories. This
will force them to concentrate on the
defence of their own country.
Gigantic Undertakings.
Military men, however, are taking
even greater interest in the Russian
invasion of Hungary through Uzsok
pass in the Carpathians, and their
rapid advance on Pennsylvania
through Bukowina, simultaneously
with their movement toward Cracow.
These combined operations are the
most gigantic undertaken in the war.
In the meantime the Russians are
held by the Austro-Germans in west
ern Galicia. Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg, the German commander in
northern Poland, can move but slow
ly because of the mud, in his often
sive operations against Warsaw
A dispatch from Petrograd says that
aviators have observed German artil-
lery at the frontier railway stations,
which cannot be moved on account Of
the softness of the roads. 1t has been
suggested that the Germans intended
to use the Vistula for the transport of
their guns, but with the Russians in
possession of the northern bank this
obviously would be impossible.
Roads Under Water.
Although the fighting has been in
tense at many points on the western
front there is little or no change in
Flanders, where tho fields and roads |
are under several feet OF water.
In that territory only artillery has |
been able to work, but in Northern
France, between Lille and Arras, there
has been some hard fighting in which
trenches have changed hands more
than once
Hard fighting continues also in AL
SAGE, where the French claim to have
advanced a little toward Altkirch.
They apparently have gotten no fur
Their along the Cernay road from Stein
bach.
Submarine Destroys Dreadnought.
The British admiralty now is con-
vinced that the battleship Formidable
was destroyed by German submarine.
In making this announcement in the
house of lords, the Earl of Crewe di-
vulged the information that the spar
tan rule which the admiralty promul-
gated after the loss of the cruisers
Greasy and Hogue, that no
ship should go to the assistance of
mother for fear that she too might
be torpedoed, has been carried out.
The captain Of the Formidable, al
hough he knew his ship was doomed,
'ignalled the other ships not to stand

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Everybody at the High School is
back on the job again-teachers stu
dents and ali. After a weeks vacation
all are ready to take up with renewed
vigor the work that is laid out for
them.
Despite the fact that the stage fare
was doubled while the teachers We're
in San Diego, they all managed to get
back. 1t is rumored that the teachers
are determined to instill new life into
the school since returning from such
an inspiring institute. They have been
warned, however, not to be too hard
on the poor studies, for such is against
good school spirit. According to the
popular conception, students should
not learn anything in High School.
They go to have a good time and
should not be worried with studies.

Officials learned of Conkling'S course

ed the bill by cutting out all refer
ence TO the Irrigation District and pro-
yidine that the water right showing
10 be made by purchasers of these
mesa lands shall he the same as that
required of desert land entrymen.
However these matters are really a
side issue. The real issue is whether
the southern Pacific shall be allowed To
complete the job of closing up the SS,
0OO.0u0 deal with their attorney rep
resenting both sides. All the way
through. they have controlled both
sides Of the case. 1t was Mckinley on
one side and Meserve on the other, both
Southern Pacific attorneys, while the
cuse was being tried and all the time
until the deal was made with the dis
trict. Now it's VI. w. conkling on both
sides How do the people expect to get
a square deal in a game like that.

I favor publicity as the best

are nothing but the hired
