VIENNA, Jan. IL. (Via wireless to

poits of the war Is summarized by
the Austrian war office today. 1t
states that an Austrian patrol, oper-
atino at an important position on the
front, succeeded in penetrating the
main lines Of the Russians. The patrol
pushed forward to the residence oc-
cupIed by tho Russian eommandant,
broke In and took tho officer and his
guard Of six men prisoners. The Aus
trIans then suceeesfuIly retraced their
steps to their own lines.
II is stated that the fighting yester-
day was confined generally to the low
er Nida, where the Ruscians tried to
cross the low country bordering on
the river to assault tho Austrian posi-
tions. The Austrian artillery had the
complete range Of the territory and
repulsed the Russians with heavy
losses.
Elsewhere the fighting is confined to
artillery exchanges.

RANCE

PARIS, Jan. 12.-Serious anxiety 10
beginning to be felt here regarding
conditions In AIsace. No official word
has been received regarding the fight
lna there since Friday. Unofficial re-
ports say that the Germans are hurl-
ing huge masses Of men against the
French positions at steinbach and the
heights Of Cernay.
The war office says the French are
their positions, but make
no claims Of additional gains. Tho
fear 10 expressed that the offensive
hero may have been premature and
like that Initiated in the early days Of
the war, advantages gained cannot be
maintained.
A retirement from AIsace at this
time would cause tho utmost depres-
sion throughout France where the re-
covery Of the "Iost provlnces'' has be-
come 4 fanaticaI religion. Latest re-
ports from there reaching here today
say that heavy SHOWS are interfering
with operations but that desperate
fighting continues.
Serious fighting 10 also In progress
in the territory between Rheims and
verdun, north Of Soissons and at st.
Georges in Belgium. Elsewhere rains
and alternate thaws and freezing con-
ditIons make any concerted forward
movements impossible. With the luil
general In the north, both sides are
devotinq themselves to aerial activity.
Clashes between rival aviators are
common occurrence and both sides
have lost more men and machines in
the last ten days than In any similar
period Of the war.
FIGHTING Is INTENSE.
[By William Philip sIrms, United
Press Staff correspondent.l
PARIS, lar 12.-Fiahting which
equals N intensity any of the present
war, continues In the vicinity Of Soils
sons where the Germans are vainly
endeavorina to retake the three lines
Of trenches captured by the allies.
Possession Of these trenches has Civ
en- the French distinct advantage as,
If they can be held, it will be possible
to utilize mine throwers from them to
demoiish the main lines OF German
.defenses which extend around the
base Of the hills north Of Scissors.
The entire front Of the trenches Is
covered with German dead and wound
ed. The French, with the advantage
Of cover, are losing far fewer men
than the enemy, although their losses
are admitted to be considerable.
Violent fighting Is also reported to-
day north OF Beausejour, where the
Germans have attempted general ad-
vance. Up to the present, the French
have successfully maintained their
positions.
The official eommunique Issued this
afternoon declares that from the sea
to the oise there has been heavy IN
ternnIttent cannonading, but falls again
to throw any light on what is hap
pening In AIsace.

Because the new propeller blade
