.NO CHANGE IN. BATTLE TURN WARS ZONES
Fighting Sporadic in West, Little More Continued Act ion in East; Small Gains and Losses Are Registered
GERMANS ATTEMPT NEW MOVEMENT IN RUSSIA
Teutons Also Deny Statement They Were Driven Out Of Strenbach - Turks Invade Russia at Three Places.

LONDON, Jan. 2.-The fighting. which is sporadic in the west but more conunua. in the east. has brought about no material change in the situation. Artillery is playing the biggest part along the western front although at points there has been close range fighting in which a few yards were gained or lost
 The Germans deny the report thas they were driven out of Strenbach and upper Alsace, which has been the scene of Sanguinary fighting from house to house for the pat week.
 There have been engagements on the rivers Bzura and Rawka in Po- and but seemingly the Germans are no nearer Warsaw than one week ago. They have commenced an ofen- sive in the direction of Kielce, one of tne largest towns in southern Poland
 This doubtless has for its object the holding up of the Russian advance through Galicia on Cracow. Another attempt on the part of the German advance from Mlawa to divert the Russian threat to outhank their cen. ter by crowding lower Vistula north west of Warsaw has been checked by the Russians
 According to the Petrograd report inc Russians continue to sweep the Austrians westward along the south e.n Gaician railway toward Cracow and Nousandec and out of the north ern foothills of the Carpathians Mus covites is also credited with having organized new campaign against Hungary, advancing in four columns alGg the mountains This, it is said, will not be like the previous raids, but will be a regular invasion
 Farther east the Ru siaus are marching across BnkoNina not Tar north of the Roumauian frontier tow ard Pennsylvania. It is considered likely the Roumanian action will be Eastened by this step.
 On the Caucasian front where Field i Marshall Won Der Goltz is to take command, the Turks have assumed the offensive and crossed the Rus sian frontier at three points Heavv fighting is now reported to 1 ba in Trogress.
 By Ieouest of King George tomor- TOW will be observed as a day of in- tercessioI, and special prayers for 1 rhe Allies arms will be offere d in every church and every chapel all by all creeds and religions in the | Kingdom.
