WARSAW IS SAFE
Germans and Austrians Change
Their Plan Of Campaign.
Are, Concentrating Troops in
Hungary to Repel Invasion.

London, Jan. pa complete change
in the eastern campaign such as would
mark a new period of the war is ex-
pected by officers of the Russian gem
eral staff. They say the German and
Austrian military chiefs have aban-
doned aggressive movements against
Warsaw and are concentrating troops In
Hungary to repel the Russian invaders
in BukOwina, eastern Galicia and north
ern Hungary. 1t is in this section,
rather than on the Warsaw front, that
the heavy fighting of the next few
weeks is looked for in Petrograd.
Fishermen reaching a Dutch port to-
day assert that they saw in the North
sea a wrecked airship. their description
of which corresponds to one Of the Ger
many's fleet of Zeppelins. Reports last
night, which later were discredited,
were to the effect that Zeppelins had
again visited the English coast.
In France and Belgium military ac-
tivity is at low ebb except along the
eastern end of the front. In Asace and
the Argonne desperate fighting con-
tinues, without important advantages
for either SIDE Minor victories are re-
ported today in both the French and
German official statements.

A. L. McKenis of Sabetha, 81 years
old, was slugged by an unknown man
at 10 o'clock last night. McKenis was
going to the Santa Fe depot from the

McKenis several times, knocking him
down, but ran away when the outcry
was raised. He received a bad cut

Of his head.
McKenis managed to get to the po-

he gave a description of the assailant.

His official term expires this month.
Before leaving the office, however,
Governor Hodges reappofnted Kinkle
for another term. Without a senate
confirmation. however, Kinkle would
be subject to removal. Now, it is
claimed. Governor Capper will reap

Il am ready to testify at any time"
Those were the declarations today Of
Carey Wilson, state superintendent of
insurance. who professed ignorance
concerning any Of the things contained
in Senator James A. Troutman's reso-
luton for an investigat tion of the in
surance lobby in attendance at this ses-
sion Of the legislature. Wilson says he
is willing to at any time testify be-
fore the senate as a body or any COM
mission it may appoint. But he knows
nothing of an insurance lObby-mOst of
all, he is not connected with it.
At his Office in the state house to-
day, Superintendent Wilson said he was
confident that no insurance lobby ex-
lists in Kansas. Ignorance of insurance
heads concerning the course of legis-
lation in which they were interested.
he said, convinced him that the insur-
ance companies-old line, mutual and
all-are in no manner making an enort
to molest or direct state legislation.
II do not so much as understand
what Senator Troutman MEANS, said
the state superintendent today. Il do
not know the purpose Of his resolution -
Knows of No Lobby.
do you know Of an insurance lob
by?" was asked.
Certainly not. There is none," de-
clared Wilson. ''At least il there is
one 1 don't know it, and 1 am quite
convinced in my own mind that none
exists. The fact that some of the in
surance heads did not know about the
bill in question or the manner in which
it had been reported, seems quite suffi-
cient evidence that there is no lobby
IF thesenate should desire an investi-
gate the existence of a lobby would you
volunteer your testimony Wilson was
asked.

tendent, .but 1 certainly don't know
anything about a lobby
The TrOutman resolution was intro
duced in the senate during Fridays
session when the Shawnee county
member de clared that a vicious insur-
ance lobby existed and that Carey Will
son, state superintendent of insurance
was connected with 1t. The wrath OF
Senator Troutman was aroused when
many senate members were flooded
with kilograms urging them to vote
against a bill providing for the re-
moval Of the office of state superin-
tendent from politics and filling of the
office by appointment at the hands
of the governor. The senate adopted
a resolution asking for an investiga-
ton.
