INDICATE AWFUL CARNAGE.
BATTLE STILL RAGING.
AIR ATTACK FOR DuNKIRk
British Base of Supplies Singled Out
for Attack by Zeppelins--Issues
Yet In Balance in orsonne
and Alsace.

London.-Although official descrip-
lions of fighting in the west are brief.
there is evidence that it is growing
,hercer at many points. The Germans
are showing renewed activity in the
neighborhood of Ypres, and heavy bonn
bardments of the allies left wing are
almost incessant.
It is from the center eastward, how
ever, that the battles are most bitter.
In the Argonne, around Verdun and in
Alsace heavy engagements continue
apparently without any decision hav-
ing been reached. But these are
merely local affairs compared to what
Is expected when the ground becomes
more suitable for moving troops.
Along the Belgian coast every Ger
man move is the signal for renewed
bombardment by British ships, while
the aviators of both forces are con-
tinually dropping bombs behind the
hostile lines.
Dunkirk has been singled out for
German air attack, doubtless because

London.-Eight British army corps,

the English channel soon as the first
great unit of Kitchener's reinforcing
legions which are expected to stab the
German left center, and evidently
achieve decisive turning movement
ON the German left.
This stroke, which will develop as
rapidly as Kitchener can supply the
men. is expected to result in the fierc-
est fighting of the war.
Belgium will have no part in this
gigantic stroke to curl up the long
German line. When the official COM
munique officially tells of the maneu-
yer in say three weeks from now, it
will be interesting to note the British
attack conferred at Luxembourg with a
violent simultaneous attack by the
French on the extreme allied right.

RUSSIANS NEAR FRONTIER
Armies In Same Positions az Two
Months Ago from Lower vIstula
To Galicla.

London.--In the eastern theater OF
war, along the old front from the low
er Vistula to Galicia and In the Car
pathians, the two armies remain in
about the same positions as two
months ago, all efforts by the Ger.
mans to break down the Russian re-
sistance seemingly having failed and
the Russian attempt to drive the Aus
tro-German forces back to Cracow hav-
ing met similar fate.
In the north, however, the new Rus
sian offensive apparently has carried
them we'll toward the German from
tier, without meeting serious resist
ance.
The Russian advance into Transyl-
vania is reported checked by large
Austrian force in the mountains, while
snow prevents the Muscovites going
farther through the Carpathians, al
though they hold all the passes in
readiness for the day when the wealth
er will permit resumption of the for
ward movement.
No mention has been made of the
state Of the remnants of the Turkish
armies which Russian reports pre-
yiously said had been defeated in the
Caucasus, but military men here be-
lieve the Russians having use for their
men have decided not to push ON to
Erzerum.
The Russian fleet, according to re-
ports, still is busy in the Black Sea
sinking Turkish sailing ships This is
taken as evidence that reports that the
Turkish cruiser Goeben had been put
out of action were not exaggerated

LOST TRENCHES RETAKEN
official German Report Tells Of the
French RepuIse and Success--En-

Berlin.--Although spirited fighting
is In progress along the western battle
front, the official German statement
shows the engagements are of merely
local character. The French made re-
peated attacks near Arras and south
Of st. Mihiel, but were repulsed. The
Germans captured trenches near Der
ry-Au-Bac and Pont-A-Mousson, but
lost ground about Notre Dame de Lo-
rette. A Russian defeat in small en-
gagement in East Prussia Is an
nounced.
"In the western theater Of war only
artillery duels took place between the
coast and the Lys. Trenches at Notre
Dame de Lorette, which we occupied
on the day before, were lost again.
Northeast of Arras the French re-
peatedly attacked both sides of the
high road from Arras to Lille, but
were repulsed. Southwest of Berry

the French and kept them, notwith.

This statement was made by James
A. Farrell, president Of the United

dress at banquet to delegates to the

Mr.. Farrell continued
"What advantage or disadvantage

HOUSE PASSES ARMY BILL

Gardner Motion for Aviation I'M
provement Is Lost.

Washington.--After two days of de.
hate on the general state of the nation
al defenses, the House passed without
a roll call the army appropriation bill
carrying $101 100000.
Advocates of immediate strengthen
ing of the military establishment
fought to the last for additional ap-
preparations, but their efforts met with
no encouragement from either Demo.
cratic or Republican leaders. The last
roll call, on motion by Representa-.
tive Gardner of Massachusetts, to re-
commit the bill with instructions to
report back an amendment carrying
$1,000,O00 for aviation, was defeated,
253 to "a.
The bill, which carries funds for
maintenance of all branches of the
army during the coming fiscal year,
includes 100000 for purchase of 25
aercpianes, and $4,000 for an armored
motor car. These items, and efforts
to add to them, furnished texts for
long discussions on use Of the aero
plane and armored car In the Euro
pean war. The appropriation for field
artillery material was increased from
$4,000 to $4,000.

London.-An attempt by German

attack on Scarborough, the Hartle-

the German armored cruiser Bluecher
was sunk and two German battle cruis

The British ships suffered only a
slight injury. So far as is known only

light cruisers and ,destroyers accom-

The British were superior in ships

further losses.
