Kaiser Suffers Relapse;
Rushed Back to Berlin

for Steinbach as if their national ex-
istence depended upon the taking of
this town, when house to house fight
ing was the rule and ground was
gained only foot by foot, a consider
able thanking force was diverted to
the southwark, assailing the line of
railway from Belfort through Car
spach and Dierspach to Altkirche.
After destroying the German line
of communication by tearing up the
railway between Carspach and DER
spach to the southwest of Altkirche
the French advanced along the line
of the railway until they brought Alt
kirche itself within range. Here they
bombarded a German train on which
troops were being loaded. The train
was standing in the railway station
of Altkirche and considerable damage
was done, besides throwing the Ger
man troops into panic, the attacl;
coming as a complete surprise This
brings the French back on the line
which they occupied in August and is
q most important gain.
Meanwhile the French offensive be
fore Muelhausen was maintained with
great vigor, all the previous gains
in the region of Thanh being main
tanned.
Weather conditions along the entire
front are officially reported as verv
bad. The incessant rains have soaked
the Germans, turning the battlefieds
into mudhOles. Operations everywhere
are almost impossible, according to the
French war office statement. The
statement adds:
"To this should be attributed the
perceptible abatement which can be
noted in our active offensive"
French military critics are inclined
to impute to the war office a GER
tain sense of humor because of this
observation, which is peculiarly ia
Cetious when taken in the light of the
days developments. 1t is worthy of
note that the official reports speak
of advances of 800 and 500 meters
with no more show of elation than
was evidenced when a matter of two
or even a month ago they had
gains of no more than 50 meters to
record.

Sacramento, Jan. with decks
cleared for the first session of the
legislature today, it is practically Ger
tain that c. C. Young, speaker of the
assembly at the last session, viii bo
re elected.
Tomorrow night the governor and
lieutenant governor will address the
legislature on the work of the ses-
sion.
1t is expected the first half of the
session will not last more than twenty
days.
The state printer estimates that
G,000 bills will be introduced. but it
is expected this estimate will be cut
down at least half.
Outside of the unemployed and tax

fore large crowd, in fact the largest
since the beginning of the season.
Baeder was on the mound for the
locals and was in excellent form.
Gregg, for the visitors, pitched good
game until the eighth inning, when
he blew up and walked three men
and was pounded for a home run by
Graham over the right field fence.
Graham was lucky in making the cir
cult. as his hit, which was line drive,
went close to the fence and Litchi
leaped in the air and made stab at

hand and it bounced out of the lot
and four runners crossed the plate

Great Britain Indicates
The Nature of It's Reply

"The reply of the foreign office to
America has not yet been delivered
nor even drawn up" the press asso-
ciation continues.
Ambassador Page of the American
embassy called at the foreign office
Saturday, but his visit was not
prompted by the expectation of a re
ply at that time.
"The whole matter is receiving
earnest and careful consideration. The
governments reply will be made in
due time in considerable detail. The
British government has not been ac-
tuated by diplomatic consideration
alone, but is being guided largely by
naval and military expert opinion"
