mile in extent.
Concerning the fighting at La
Bassee there is a conflict OF
statements, both the French and
the Germans claiming the adj
vantage. A heavy snowfall has
interrupted the struggle In AL
SAGE. The German war office
says there are no changes in Po-
land and that in East Prussia
Russian attacks were repuIsed.
The Turkish attempt to invade
Egypt, several times reported
has at last been begun, according
to unofficial advices from Athens
which say that three Turkish
army corps under command of
Djemal Pasha are engaged in the
movement. A Cairo despatch
Z states that British troops and

near the Suez canal and that ci--
!. villains are leaving. the scene. IS
The Austro-German plan in
the east, which calls for the pro-
lection OF the dual monarchy
from Russian invasion as the inn
mediate object rather than the
/ the prosecution of the offensive
along the Warsaw front, seems
to have exerted already a mark
ed influence on the campaign.
Heavy reinforcements of Ger
mans have been sent into Hun
gary to assist the Austrians and
an official statement today from
Vienna states that important
victories over the Russians have
been gained.
The fighting took place at the
mountain passes leading to
northeastern and northwestern
Hungary and it is said that the
Russians were compelled to
evacuate important positions af-
ter repeated anad fruitIess coun-
ter attacks. These reported
gains for the Austrians follow
their successes in Bukowina
which Vienna retards as having
crippled the Russian offensive
there and rendering unlikely the
participation of Runania in the
war, at least at this time.
A Russian official statement
asserts that successes were won
in. recent fighting in Galicia.
where attacks of the Austro-
German forces were repulsed ev-
erywhere. In Central Poland
along the Warsaw front the
Germans made several violent
assaults but are said to have
been driven back with heavy
losses.
In the west the British
troops once more are bearing
with firmness the brunt of the
German attack. The fighting
continues along the La Bassee
channel where the Germans ap-
pear to have won advantage,
Australia plans for the forIna-
ton of a rifle reserve of 100000
men to be sent to Europe if the
