SERIOUS FIGHTING

BOTH RUSSIAN AND AUSTRo.
GERMAN ARMIES HAVE AS
sUMEp OFFENSIVE.
QUIET REIeNs IN THE WEST
Campaign in the carpathisns Vital to
Both Sides Russians Are Attack
ing Austro-German Forces.

London.-With the armies in France
and Flanders recuperating after siren.
uous fighting Of earlier days Of the
week and no local actions being re-
corded, interest in the war situation
has been transferred to the Russian
offensive in East Prussia and the at
tempt of a strong Austro-German
army to dislodge the troops OF EN-
peror Nicholas from their positions in
the Carpathians.
In East Prussia Russian offensive
has developed in the extreme north,
where renewed fighting seems to con-
firm a belief that q definite effort to
advance north of the Mazurian Lakes
district, where previously the Russians
were defeated has been decided on by
the Russian General Stat.
More vital to both sides, however, is
the campaign in the Carpathians,
where southwest Of Duk1a Pass the
Russians have delivered an energetic
attack. According to their account OF
the combat they compelled the AUS
tro-Germans to retreat, leaving behind
ammunition and stores. This attack,
according to military observers, indl-
Gates q Russian attempt to turn the
flank OF the Teuton Allies. II It would
have serious consequences for the
large Austro-German army in and
about the Carpathian Passes.
Russian military experts anticipated
that the Austrians will deliver their
main attack with their extreme right
in Western Bukowina, aiming to
achieve signal victory and thus give
Roumania cause to pause. The only
thing holding Roumania in check at
present it Is said is uncertainty as to
what Bulgaria will do. Bulgaria It IS
asserted still demands that part OF
Macedonia now under Serbian rule as
the price Of her neutrality and Serbia
IS reported unwilling to make this con-
cession.

SMALL BATTLES EVERYWHERE.
French Claim Germans Have Lost
10000 Men.


10000 Men.
London-Although no big battles,
as battles go in this war, have been
fought Of late, there have been engage
ments< in all the arenas from Asia
tic Turkey to the English Channel in
which the losses in men and material
probably have been greater in the
aggregate than in many Of the battles
of history. According to French re-
ports, German attacks against the
allied lines in Flanders, France and
Alsace on the first three days of the
week cost them 10000 men, to which
must be added the losses suffered in
repeated attacks on the Russian en-
trenchments in Central Poland
All attacks in the West, the Allies
say, failed except
near Craonne, where it it admitted
the French lost 800 men, largely be-
cause Of the collapse Of an old quarry.
The Germans on the other hand,
assert that they inflicted a severe de-
feat on the French at Craonne and
that they repulsed all French attacks
in the Vosges and upper Alsace, with
heavy losses.

the Warren-Boyd bill invoking the pow
er given under the Webb law to pre-
vent the shipment of liquor into the
state was passed to third reading by
the house. The bill is a companion
measure to the prohibition referendum
bill by the same authors. When the bill
regulating the shipment of liquor into
the state was reached on the calendar
Mr.. Brigham of Aiken moved to "ad-
journ debate upon it until next week. "
The house promptly tabled his motion,
on motion of MIR. Warren. The liquor
shipment bill then rolled through to
third reading. The bill requires per-
sons or firms to get permits from the
clerk of court in their counties before
they can order liquor from any point
without the state. The permit must be
affixed to shipments of liquor as author
ization before any common carrier can
lawfully transport them into South
Carolina. The bill does not interfere
with transportation of liquor to dispen-
saries. ---,>,-----
