Mexican Bullets
 Cause Retund Of Demurrage Charge.

For the first time in history demur- rage charges on a freight shipment entirely within the United States were ordered refunded yesterday be- cause of civil war in another coun- try, when the corporation commis- sion approved a reparation order in favor of the Phelps-Dodge Mercan- tile company.
 The charges. amounting to only S3.00, were assessed by the Fl Paso and Southwestern for failure to un- load car of hay from Stafford con signed to the Phelps Dodge office at Naco The car was placed on q siding directly in the line of fire from the contending forces south of the border and the delay in unload- ing was caused by the rain. of bull lets, which in spite of protests from Washington continued to fall in American territory. In recognition of the fact that the company's failure to unload the ear within reasonable time was due to the warning armies of Mexico. the railroad company filed application with the commission to refund the demurrage charge

ClaiMs GusheY Is Reported By ESbee
 As Nonbroducing
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsrArcHl

Los ANGELES, Jan. 19.-A ten million barrel year oil gusher at Eiks Hill was termed non-produc inS in Southern Pacific reports, ac- Cording to Willis \. Mills, special assistant attorney general during the trial of the suits of the govern ment alleging fraud in patenting oil and mineral lands by the Southern Pacific company and it's subsidiaries. Mills said this report was made because the well was shut down the day the inspector called.
 He also asserted that William F. Herrin, chief counsel of the southern Pacific who declared the lands az ricultura1 when acting as counsel, selected them as oil bearing when acting as head of the Associated Oil company. a subsidiary.
 Mills supported the contention that the Southern Pacific knew the lands were oil bearing when patent ing them as agricultural, by the statement that the railroad had is sued orders that surrounding sec tons be withdrawn from public sale as they were rich in oil. He said that the Southern Pacific. although now attacking the reports of the govern ments geological experts, neverthe- less spent s5oo.O0O on the lands on the strength of the reports.

WEATHER STILL. HA[TS FIGHTING
 ON CONTINENT
Heavy Snow Confines Op- erations to Artillery i'll France and Flanders Russians Keep Big Move ment in East Quiet.
[AssocrArED PRESS DIsPArcHl

LONDON. Jan l9-Weather cundi- tions have become so severe in France and Flanders, where there have been heavy falls of snow, that fighting IS confined almost entirely to artillery engagements. There is an exception, however, to the southwest of Nerdun, near Pont Mouson, where the French are reported to have ap- preached q few hundred wards nearer the German front.
 Of the progress of the battles in East Prussia and Poland official re- ports give less information than usu al. Loquacity seems to be avoided when a big new movement is com mencing, such as that the Russians are carrying out between the East Prussian border and the lower Wis tula. In this movement, as far as can be judged from scant details fur nished. the Russians are making a hiS sweep to the west and north, eVi- dently in an endeavOr to prevent Non Hindenburg's forces from forming 2 function with the German troops in East Prussia
 Military men attach considerable importance to the operations in the Verdun section for they say. in conjunction with the continued French pressure on the German lines to the west of the fortress of Perthes. they will check. if successful the German operations against Nerdun. around which they have had full circle drawn since they invaded France
 Some Petrograd correspondents credit the Russians with crossing the vistula to the south and east of Flock. If this is true. military men say, they must have a Very large force and probably are in position to l threaten the left flank of the German army which has been trying for
 weeks to force it's way to Warsaw.
 In some quarters in London there is a tendency to believe the Germans soon will retire to their own frontier in the fear that q winter spent on
 the present line. communications with which arc declared bad, would result in d heavy loss of men.
 The Russian troops which crossed ! the Carpathians are reported to have 1 effected a junction and when plans 1 for the advance in Pennsylvania are complete an attempt will be made, it is said. .o invade Hungary from the | north and east Reports from the l Caucasus say the Russians are still | busy pursuing remnants of the Turk

 GENERAL FIELD HEADQUART- FRS GERMAN ARMIES. tn France) Jan. l9.-"More of such offensive (referring to the present offensive operations in the campaign of the allies can only be welcome to us. The British are good fighters but an army without necessary officers and non commissioned officers is scarcely an army. We are fully pre- pared for any attempt at landing in Belgium and the sooner it comes the better"
 These are some of the phrases, full of quiet optimism. of Lieut.. General Erich Von Falkenhayn, German min ister of war and chief of staff of the German armies in the field, who granted the Associated Press the first interview given any corre- spondent. He declared the war was not brought about by the military party in Germany, but that Ger many was merely fighting in self defense
 "Our present situation is excel lent he said. We have no cause to complain We have carried the war into the enemys country on both fronts and we are still there after five months of war Our present lines are very sarong and the dvant- age is all on our side thus far"
 He denied the Germans tried to reach Calias and thus outflank the allies. But he declared the campaign there was the result of an attempt of the allies to force their way north sea, envelop their flank and rear re- lieve Antwerp and thus oblige the Germans to retire from Belgium.
 The general talked at length on the present military situation. and the prospects of the war, which he evidently does not expect 10 he a short one. General Won Falkenhayn Is man responsible, under the em- peror. for the strategy in the great world war. He is comparatively young as commanders go-the youngest of any leaders of the Eu- ropean armies, with q tremendous capacity for hard and concentrated work.
 Speaking the cause of the war he said
 Tt was forced upon us by the Rus sian mobilization in the face of which we could do nothing but arm our selves.
