TO FLY FROM COAST TO COAST
Aviators to Make Three Flights Across
Country During Panama
Pacific Exposition.

New York, Jan. 21-Plans for g
transcontinental aviation contest in
connection with the Panama-Pacific ex
position, announced at the annual din
ner of the Aero Club of America here
last week, were agreed upon at con
ference between Thomas M Moore,
commissioner general of the exposi
ton to the Atlantic states; Alan r.
Hawley, president of the Aero club,
and Henry Woodhouse, of the clubs
board of governors.
Three flights, beginning at Boston,

PRICE PROBE IN NORTHWEST
GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE
FLOUR CONDITIONS.
First Active Step is Taken in This
Section Following President
Wilson's Order.

Washington. Jan. 23.-Instructions
have been sent by the department of
justice to United States District Attor-
ney Alfred Jacques at st. Paul to in
yestigate flour conditions and the
prices of wheat and flour in Mime
apolis and other points in the North
west.
This is the first active step to be
taken as a result of President Wilson's
order for thorough investigation into
the unprecedented rise in the prices
of flour and breadstuffs. 1t is part of
the investigation which has been car
ried on in Chicago by District Attorney
Clyne.
The Chicago investigation is under
stood to have developed little as to the
reasons for the advance in the price
of flour except it's dependence on the
price of wheat. While these investiga-
lions have been in progress it is said
that Attorney General Gregory has
reached the conclusion that -four
prices might be dependent upon illegal
influences which would bear a search.

Matter of Conjecture.

Berlin, by wireless to Sayville, L. 1.
Jan. 22.-The following official state
ment has been issued here:
''On the night of Jan. 10 and 2(
German airships bombarded the forti
fed town of Yarmouth and Other
places on the English coast. The at

damage was done. The airships were
shelled, but regained their home port

Raiders Drop Twenty Bombs.
London, Jan. 22-The German air
ships-for they are thus described by
the German official report-which paid
a four hours visit to the coast towns
of Norfolk, dropped 20 or more bombs.
The raiders missiles killed four per
sons, injured 10 or more others, and
did considerable damage to property.
Large Towns Suffer.
Yarmouth and Kings Lynn, the larg-
est towns visited, suffered the heaviest
damage. Eight bombs were dropped
in the former town, one of them kill
ing an old man and an old woman,
injuring three others and smashing
every window within radius of sew
eral hundred yards.
In Kings Lynn a woman and a boy
were killed by bombs, which demol-
isned a row of cottages.
The aircraft also visited Cromer
which. however, was not attacked;
Sheringham, where four bombs were
dropped; Dersingham, Grimston, Snet-
tisham and Heacham, each of which
received one missile.
Snettisham and Heacham are within
three miles of the kings Sandringham
residence. Near the former place,
where the windows of the village
church were shattered, Queen Mother
Alexandra has summer bungalow.

Petrograd Dispatches Say Russians
Are Pinning High Hopes on This
Offensive Thrust-Austrian Re-
Inducements Aim to Check
Muscovites' Advance.

London, Jan. 23.-News dispatches
| referring to the situation in POLAND
set forth that North of the Vistula il
the vicinity of Lipno, Russian advance
guards are within twenty miles of the
German frontier, while to the north
east the Germans have evacuated
Skempe, which is about twenty-five
miles from the Prussian border and
due southeast of Thorn.
If the Russians follow up their sue
cess at Skempe and continue their for
ward movement it will give them an
unbroken front in the opinion of Brit
ish observers, dangerously near Ger.
man territory.
Russians Have High Hopes.
The western Allies are watching
this region just now with great inter
est and dispatches from Petrograd say
that the Russians are pinning high
hopes on this offensive thrust near the
German line Elsewhere they are plan
ming merely to hold their own, bar
ring, of course, the advance through
Transatlantic. The Austrians, how
ever, appear not to have been crushed
by their reverses in Bukowina for the
Russians themselves refer to the at
tempted Austrian offensive. Other
news dispatches tell of the movement
of Austrian reinforcements aimed to
check the Russian advance.
In the western arena of the war the
battle at scissors still ranks as the
only great conflict during many weeks
past. There has been fighting at many
points, but trench here and few
yards there is all that either side has
gained. If the German plan is a re-
newed general offensive or serious
concentrated attack at some strateget-
il. point it has not yet materialized
Turks Claim Success.
The Turks claim to have arrested
the Russian advance in the Caucasus,
but they give no details. The British
press continues to assert that the pro-
posed Turkish invasion of Egypt is
doomed to failure, but it gives cred
ence to many reports to the effect that
such invasion surely will be attempt
ed.
Suffering in Belgium, which the help
of American has gone so far to relive,
is for the moment in the background
when compared to the restitution of
in Palestine, Poland
and the Carpathians. From Palestine
Jewish colonists continue to fee to
Egypt, being conveyed as rapidly as
possible by the American cruiser Ten
nessee.
The restitution of Poland is said to
be terrible, and new appeal for aid
las been issued by Ignace Paderewski
and Henryk Sienkiewicz, who speak
'or all factions. 1t is said that the
situation in Poland is far worse than
t is in Belgian. The fleeing people of
3ukowina are living like animals in
caves and fighting with wolves for
such sustenance as the snow-covered
country affords.

Washington, JAN 21.-Indications

north, the activity of convention Of
ficials in packing their records, and
other evidences of an impending
change, are looked upon by officials
of the Washington government as per-
haps presaging another evacuation of
the Mexican capital. q
Such an eventuality would leave the
Mexican situation more confused than
ever.
Officials admitted that the exact re-
lation of the various factions toward
each other was never SO indistinct.

SIEGE OPERATIONS
FAVOR THE ALLIES
French and British Gain Ground on
Almost Every Part of the Front,
But Are Forced to Give Way
In the Region of
Scissors.

/, London, JAM 23-The battle for tn
trenches in Flanders and France cor
tinues almost without cessation from
the sea to the Swiss border. In tn
mud of Flanders, the floods of thu
Aisne valley and the SHOWS of thu
Argonne and Vosges, the soldiers o
Germany and the allied nations keel
up a continual fight to hold what the!
possess and take something from tina
held by the enemy.
Allies Gain Ground.
According to long official report
of the fighting during the last two
months, issued by the French wal
staff, this method OF siege operations
has largely favored the allies, who
while they have gained ground on al
most every part of the front, have
been forced to give way i'm only one
region-that of scissors.
Germans Send Reinforcements.
They are being put to test, how
ever, similar to that which obliged
them to retire from north of the Aisne,
near Scissors, because the Germans,
realizing the danger to their communi-
cations with Metz as a result OF the
French advance near Pont-a-Moussion,
have sent re-enforcements there and
have begun a battle for the positions
they lost during the last week. The
Germans apparently have regained
portion of them and fighting for the
remainder is now in progress.
At the other points, particularly near
St. Mihiel and in Alsace, there have
been infantry engagements, but on the
whole, the artillery continues to be the
busiest arm.
Russians Renew Offensive.
The Russians have renewed their
offensive operations against Mlawa, a
town which has changed hands often
since the commencement of the war,
and it appears they will again attempt
to envelop the German forces which
are holding the line of the Mazurian
lakes, and avenge themselves for the
defeat at Tannenburg.
On the rest of the Polish front and
in Galicia the Austro-German attacks
are becoming more intermittent, &C
cording to the Russian report, which is
generally brief when big events are
The Russians continue to
make progress against the Austrian
outposts in the mountains between
Bukowina and Pennsylvania. The Ger

ships in dropping bombs on towns and
villages in Norfolk, England, by saying
that they had been fired upon. Brit
ish airmen, in turn, have been busy |
in Belgium, and according to report |
from Holland, have ventured as far as |
Essen, Rhenish Prussia, where they |
destroyed some buildings.
Holland has asked Germany for an
explanation of the report that the Ger
man airships on their way to England
passed over Dutch territory.
