REPUBLICAN AIDS
new SHIPPING BILL
NORRIS OF NEBRASKA Is FIRST OF
HIS PARTY TO LINE UP WITH
ADMIkIsTRATloN.

Washington, d. G.. Jan. 29-The gov.
ernment ship purchase bill received
Its first support from the republican
side today when Senator Norris Of Ne
braska, declared the plan appealed
strongly to him and that IL two amend
ments he had offered were adopted, he
would vote for 1t. One amendment he
proposed would continue the govern
ment in the shipping business even
after the lines 1t established became
profitable.
The second amendment would pro-
vide that no belligerent nations YES
sells should be purchased unless a
diplomatic understanding with other
belligerents had been reached, which
would prevent the possibility Of inter-
national complications.
Senator Kenyon, progressive repub-
lican, offered two amendments, one to
eliminate cabinet officers from the pro-
posed shipping board, and one to pro-
vide that none of the ships to be
purchased or chartered by the govern
ment should engage in transportation
of any munitions of war from this
country to any belligerent nation or
citizens thereof"
Naval Bill Considered.
The house met early today to begin
consideration of the naval appropria-
ton bill, carrying about $148,OOO,OOO.
Consideration Of the agricultural ap-
preparation bill, carrying more than
t22,000,000 was completed in the
house last night, the measure passing
without the formality of roll call.
The bill was sent to the senate today.
Only two of the appropriation bills
the urgent deficiency and the District
of Columbia-have passed the senate
All of the big supply bills except the
naval, the sundry civil, pensions, dip
lomatic and consular and the military
bills have passed the house.

Austro German Activities
in Eastern Field May
Bring Big Battle
TURKISH MOVEMENT
A WELL TIMED ONE
Keeps Russians From Being
Able to Unite Forces in
Hungarian Fight

London, Jan. 29.-With the renewal
Of offensive operations on the part OF
the Turks in the Caucasus apparently
timed SO as to force Russia to send
more troops into this field, the Austro,
German activities In Galicia and the
Carpathians continued to dominate
the military situation.
The Teutonic allies are pushing
further to the south and stringing
out nearer the Rumanian frontier in
order to meet any sudden movement
over the passes from that country.
The recent fighting in.the Carpathians
both the Austrians and the Russians
claiming local successes. 1t is believ-
ed in London, however, that the strug-
gle may be expected soon to enter on
a critical stage both in the east and
In the west. British military observ-
ers have expressed the opinion that
Germany is still keeping a preponder-
ance of her forces in 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 western
front seem to have cost them heavily
and to have brought them little gain,
Judging by the official reports given
out in Paris and published prominent
lily in London today. 1t is thought
here that the next development may
be a concentrated blow at some STRAIT
egic point.
Russians Try Diversion.
Russia has answered the new
Austro-German offensive movement in
Hungary and Bukowina with sudden
resumption of the attack on the Ger
mans in their own territory. The
Russian army in East Prussia is again
attempting to penetrate the German
lines and an official report from Petro-
grad today indicates that heavy fight
ing is in progress. In two sections of
the front, 1t is stated, the Germans
were defeated and driven back. For
several months there has been little
change in East Prussia the Russians
having been halted after penetrating
nearly thirty miles beyond the Ger
man border.
Turks Are Marooned.
So far as news is concerned, the
Turks supposed to be advancing into
Egypt are marooned somewhere on
the desert. Nothing has been heard
of them since the announcement three
days ago of their presence to the east
ward of Ell Kantara and no further
clashes with British outposts have
been reported.
A message from Vienna says there
Is growing popular demand in Aus
tria that the government follow the
example of Germany and take over
control Of all grain and flour in the
market.
From Petrograd comes news that /
Emperor Nicholas has approved an
appropriation of $S,750,000 for the i'm
mediate construction of a government |
railroad from Petrozavodsk, 1856 miles
northeast of Petrograd, to the White
sea. This would make second line
of communication with the outside /
world through this region, the other
being to Archangel.
