PARIS. Feb. g..
ARTILLERY battling all along the AIsne,
with the Germans directing a particularly
violent eannonade near SCISSORS. was
reported fl dispatches from the front this
afternoon
The German fire was ineffective. the
messages said. On the contrary, French
summers responded to the attack by 81
iencing several German batteries. Near
Lens, French artillery also was SUCCESS
full forcing a German battery to retire.
Excepting near Soiseons, where the OPP
posing forces are in contact on the north
bank OF the Aisne, few important infantry
clashes were reported. The French re-
puisod an infantry charge near Baeateile,
In tho Argonne, and made slight gains In
4 counter attack, taking a humble of
prisoners. At Perthes a German attack
was repulsed. &.
in their warfare against the Allies in
northern France the Germans are resort
ing to a new device, sending boats flled
with ~infiammable material. which they
have set on FIRE, and explosives into the
streams in an attempt to burn or blow
the bridges held by the French, Brit
ish and Belgian troops.
The official statement issued today tells
OF these operations on the river Encre,

REBELLTOUS TURKS
THREATEN TO HALT
EGYPTIAN INVASION
Germany Now Ready to
Abandon Raid on British,
Says Report-Tas k Grow
ing Difficult.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-The Turkish lnva-
sion of Egypt may be. abandoned at any
time, according to well-founded dispatches
coming from Berlin.
Although there are 10000 Turks in the
army of invasion, commanded by German
officers, and although the expedition is
German in conception and engineering
the German officers nav reported that 1t
woul be better. to abandon. 1t nov than
to carry 1t out at huge expense, in the
face of such vast difficulties that failure
to overcome any one of them might cause
total failure to the expedition.
The sentiment of the German General
STAFF hat what might be gained Is not
worth the huge risk seems to be growing,
and well-lnformed persons in Berlin are
beginning to understand that as soon as
German public opinion can be brought to
n point where 1t Will be reconciled to an
abandonment of the expedition the pro-
ject will be dropped.
Hundreds of Turkish soldiers have de-
serted from the force. The Mohamme-
dams do not take kindly to German mill
tary methods, and dispatches from Cairo
state that deserters are arriving there in
constantly increasing numbers.
One group reported that a German Off
Ger ordered a wounded Turkish soldier to
climb a telegraph, pole and cut the wires.
The Turk was indignant and told the Off
Ger that 1t was not the work of a soldier
to climb telegraph poles. Thereupon the
officer drew his sword n cut off one Of
the Turks hands. This incident and
others imilar to 1t are rapidly diminish
Ing the size of the Turkish army of in
vasion.
Other Cairo dispatches say that the de-
serters complain of the food and assert
that not enough water is furnished them.
These deserters, all OF whom are prison
ers of war, describe the hardships of the
march from Jerusalem by way of Beer
sheba and El-Arish. They were made to
walk many miles each day with scanty
supplies OF food and water.

Columbia Professor Asserts
Need of Research In Plans
for Defence.

That research study in pure chemis-
try and similar subjects is an impor-
tant consideration for those interested
Ia building up a national defence Is
held by Professor Marston T. Bogert,
professor OF chemistry in the Gradu-
ate Engineering School of Columbia
University. In this belief Professor
Bogert accords with Dean Frederick A.
Goethe Of the Graduate Engineering
School. who has laid before the uni
versity plans for a large industrial en-
cheering research laboratory where in
dustrial problems can be solved.
Professor Bogert. in discussing the
Importance of research work. laid
stress on the wonderful discoveries
that chemists have brought to our in
dustries and how millions of dollars
have been saved from waste products
alone. Much new and constructive re-
search work is being carried on at the
universities throughout the country
and especially in the already well
equipped laboratories at Columbia.
THE twentieth century," Professor
Bogert said, will quite certainly be
an age Of chemistry. Germany realized
that some years ago, with results that
are now evident 10 all.
"If we would not be left far behind
In the race, we must pursue a similar
course. and that at once. We have yet
to convince many of the nations OF the
earth that the form of government IN
which we believe. and TO establish
which our ancestors died. is the best
not only for the freedom and happi-
ness of the individual and the develop
ment of the noblest intellectual and
moral standards, but also for the
growth of the country in physical
strength and resourcefulness, and that
in the hour of need il will not be found
wanting in the vital matter of indus

the cornerstone of military power.

fact that civilization unsrmed by sci
