Forces of the Teuton Allies Are

I LONDON, Jan. 29-With the re-
newal Of offensive operations on the
part of the Turks in the Caucasus
apparently timed so as to force RUS
sia to send more troops into the field,
the Aitstro-G German activities in Cali
GA and the Carpathians continue to
dominate the military situation.
Forces Of the Teuton allies are
being pushed further to the south
ana strung out nearer the Roumanian
frontier In order to meet any sud-
Den movement over the passes from
that country. The recent fighting in
the Carpathians has brought decisive
engagements, both the Austrians and
the Russians claiming local success.
ut It believed in London, however,
that the struggle may be expected
soon to enter upon a critical stage
both In the East and in the West.
British military observers have ex-
pressed the opinion that Germany is
still keeping a preponderance Of her
forces I'm the western theater of the
war; where the allies should expect
another great offensive movement.
The German tactics OF the last few
days at various points on the west
ern front seem to have cost them
heavily and to have brought them lit
tie gain. Judging by the official re-
ports given out in Paris and publish
ed in London today It is thought
here that the next development may
be a concentrated blow at some
strategic point.
So far as news is concerned the
Turks. supposed to be advancing into
Egypt. are. inarooned somewhere on
the sands OF the desert. Not one word
has been hlird of them since the an
liouncenient three days ago OF their
presence east Of FL Kantara and no
further clashes with the British OUT
posts have been reported.
A message from Vienna by way
OF Venice says there is growing
popular demand in Austria that the
: government follow the example of
Germany and take over the control OF
all the grain found in the market.
From Petrograd comes the news
that Emperor Nicholas has approved
an appropriation for 8.750,000 for
the immediate construction of gov
eminent railroad from Petrozavodsk,
J IS miles northeast OF Petrograd, to-
the White sea. This would add al
second line OF communication with
the outside world through this re-
gion. the other being to Archangel.

NO TRACE OF SLAYERS
 WHO ROBBED WIDOW
Three Masked Men to Be h.
 diGtGd For Murder.

Onni Talas. a Russian Finn. for ten weeks a hallbOy in the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Nichols. an aged New York widow, who met death at the hands of masked men. who robbed her of gems valued}at $10.0O0. was arrested after he had confessed. the police assert. to having played q part in the crime. He was formally charged with murder. All
 ger servants in the house were freed of suspicion
 The autopsy on Mrs. Nichols body revealed the fact that she died of fright and not of stranguati6h. as at first reported. A tablecloth tied around her neck had given rise to the idea that she was strangled. The robbers will be indicted for murder ill the first de- gree.
 Although the burglars stripped their victims fingers and ears of diamonds and other jewels valued at S1T,000 they failed to rife the strong box of her safe. in which she kept gems val. ued at from $250.OOO to S5OO.OOO.
 The maid. the cook and the butler. in addition to Talas. were closely ques- toned. The cook and the butler were both out of the house at the time. The maid and Talas told virtually the same story-that masked men had forced their way into the house. overpowered them. tied and gagged them and then attacked the aged widow. The chief difference in their stories was that the maid said there were two masked men and the hallboy said there were three
 The police have made five arrests OF suspicion as q result of the hnllhOv'S stakements. but are still searching fo, three men named by him as being the masked robbers.
