The Austro-German Army
Makes Efforts to Dis
lodge Cars Troops
BALKANS STIRRED
Protest of Bulgaria Hold
ing Rumania in Neutral;
Greece Objects.

LONDON, Jan. 29.-QO:35 p. m)
With the armies In France and
Flanders recuperatlng after the
strenuous fighting of the earlier days
OF the week and only local actions be-
ing recorded, interest in the war situ-
alton has been transferred to the Rus
sian offensive in east Prussia and the
attempt of a strong Austro- German
army to dislodge the troops of EN-
peror Nicholas from their positions In
the Carpathians.
In east Prussia a Russian offensive
has developed In the extreme north,
where the renewed fighting seems TO
confirm the belief that definite effort
to advance north of Mazurlan lakes
district, where previously the Rus
slams were defeated, has been decided
upon by the Russian general staff.
More vital to both sides. however,
is the campaign in the Carpathians,
where southwest of Dukla pass the
Russians have delivered an energetic
attack. According to their account
Of the combat they compelled the
Austro- Germans to retreat, leaving
behind ammunition and stores. This
attack, according to military obsery-
ers, indicates an attempt by the Rus
SLAMS to turn the flank OF the Teuton
allies. If 1t should prove successful,
observers say, 1t would have serious
consequences for the large Austro-
German army and about the Carpath'
ian passes.
Russian military experts expect
that the Austrians will deliver their
main attack with their extreme right
i'm western Bukowina in the hope Of
achieving signal victory and thus
giving Rumania cause to pause.
Bulgaria Involved.
The only thing holding Rumania
in check at present, 1t Is stated. Is the
uncertainty as TO the action Bulgaria
would be likely to take. Bulgaria, 1t
is asserted. is still demanding that
part Of Macedonia now under Serbian
rule as the price of her neutrality
and Serbia is reported unwilling to
make this concession.

BY GLENN CONDON.

OKLAHOMA CITY, jan 29.-The
Tulsa World was the predominant is
sue in the Oklahoma legislature to-
day.
After having the house clerk read
a half-column editorial In today's is
sue of The World, entitled Wasting
the Peoples Money" Representative
Paul Nesbitt Of McAlester arose to a
point Of personal privilege, launched
into an attack upon The World and
then declared that If the paper per-
sisted in running this kind of edi-
torials' he would introduce reso-
luton barring The World representa-
tive from the legislative halls
Nesbitts speech calling attention to
the editorial In question caused a de-
cided sensation.
Representative Lewis Hunter OF
Comanche and Cotton counties and
strong Democratic member, answered
Nesbltts attack upon The World
"Tho freedom OF the press" de-
clared Hunter. lis fundamental
principle Of liberty and Of Jefferson
ian Democracy. ! am strenuously op-
posed to placing a muzZle upon the
press Of this state and l sec no oc-
caslon for the gentleman's remarks"
Not II Representative,
Then turning squarely toward Nes-
bits seat Hunter concluded in
loud voice
And the man who would deprive
others of the same rights that he re-
ServS for himself Is not a FIT person
TO represent the people OF the state
in bhis legislature"
representative James H. Sykes Of
Tulsa gained recognition from the
chair.
Mr.. Speaker" said Sykes, 'I want
to give notice now that on tomorrow
morning ! will rise to a point of per-
sonal privilege and speak upon this
subject"
Representative Ben Harrison,
former secretary OF state, took q mild
part In the discussion.
In todays World" said Harrison.
II am referred to as a semi -insurgent
in the Democratic ranks. / have no
doubt but what the reporter who
wrote that was sincere and | have

paper, but | want 10 explain to the
Democratic members OF the house
that | am neither an insurgent or a
emi-insurgent. but "a plain Demo-
crat, representing the people of my
county in this legislature"
Would Exclude Representative.
After the editorial had been read
Representative Nesbitt spoke for
about three minutes. He said that
for several days The World had been
running editorials that contained "un-
warranted and uncalled for criti-
cisms" Of the legislature

amount Of water has oozed again out

Is the first the great problem.
The small caravan thinks of water
above everything. What, then Of an
army? The fight which the Turks
are determined to attempt, therefore,
will be governed by one thlng-water.
The warfare on the desert, then, must
be a war with water and for water
With Herculean effort, a Turkish army
may be able to bring enough water to
supply It until the canal Is within
view
Therefore, the invaders must begin
a decisive battle when their water
supply is exhausted and $50 miles Of
barren waste is at their backs and a
hope Of water lies in victory.
Defeat or retreat means back to the
burning sands to death by thirst

cruel rays Of the sun-the stupendous
horror of $4,000 men gone mad In the
face Of destruction.
Should tho Turkish army reach
