AssembIyman Stevens Is Busy at
Trenton

Within forty-eight hours after intro
ducing the bill to validate the Cape
May City bond issue, Assemblyman
Stevens was enabled to have 1t made
a law, the bill being introduced on
Monday night, passed both the
Assembly and Senate on Tuesday, and
was signed by Governor Fielder on
| Wednesday.
The bill to authorize an armory for
Ocean City, came back to life by the
interchangeable efforts OF Assemblyman
Stevens. He introduced q separate
bill early in the session, which passed
the Assembly, but was killed in the
Senate. Right on the back of this
action the Senate passed a bill>to give
Freehold an armory, and when it came
to the Assembly Mr.. Stevens prompt
ly had 1t amended to include an armory
for Ocean City. The Assembly adopt
ed the amendment and on Tuesday of
this week the Senate concurred In the
amendment, and now Ocean City and
Freehold both get an armory, il
Governor Fielder approves the bill.

day SAYS:
North Of the Vistula no events of
Importance have occurred. On the
heights to the east of Zakliozya (Ca-
licia) our artillery, by a concentric
fire. forced the Russians from some
of their first trenches. Finally the
enemy evacuated the trenches for a
distance of six Hlometers (about 3 y
miles, along his front and retired in
disorder under the effective fire of
our artillery and our machine guns.
to the nearest line on the heights,
leaving numerous rifles and quaint
ties of supplies.
"On the rest of the front in Galicia
there has been only an artillery
battle
"On the Carpathians the fighting
has been insignificant merely be-
tween patrols"

Russian Counter Attack.

Petrograd, Jan. 1S-The general
staff of the Russian army today gave
ont an official communication reading
as follows;
"On the left bank of the river Wis
t1la we delivered a counter attack
the night OF January II, al1 We re-
occupied certain trenches near the
village of Goumine, which the enemy
had captured the night Of January 6.
The German detachments defending
these trenches We're virtually ami
hilated The subsequent efforts
made by the enemy in this locality
to attack were without success.
The same night the Germans tried
twice to assume the offensive on the
Goulki-Vissouffka front, but they
were discovered in time by our
searchlights and were dispersed by
our fire.
'fIn the region to the east Of Piotr.

1t appears that large numbers of

left the regiments no alternative but

ing tattered. Many were without
uniforms but all appeared to be
equipped with modern weapons.
Large numbers were Arabs, and al,
though they We're better clothed than
the Turks, they suffered terribly in
the intense cold and snow.
The rear guards which attempted
to cover the Turkish retreat on Ere
rum, according to the correspondents,
have been virtually destroyed. The
few disorganized remnants of the
army are said to be fleeing into the
direction of Erzerum, flingiag their
artillery and stores over precipices
or burying them under the snow.
Amid the snow storms which
blotted every feature of the roads
the Russians are proceeding unrelent
lessly upon their beaten foes.
The correspondents say it seems
doubtful whether any of the Turks
will succeed in reaching Erzerum
whence it is rumored the Turks, des.
pairing of holding the fortress. are
removing the new German artillery
recently mounted there.

WAR SUM MARY

Characteristic fighting is go
ing on in northern France where
the village of La Boisselle, 20
miles to the northeast of Am
lens, was taken from the French
by the Germans and later recap
tured by the French. At this
point there has been much work
with the bayonet. A French am
munition depot blew up and part
of the village was destroyed by
fire. The Germans taking advan-
tage Of this incident attacked the
steel and drove them to positions
beyond In a fierce counter attack
some hours later the French re-
captured the position.
A French eye witness with Of
ficial authority gives some idea
of the nature of the fighting
which has been going on in the
west. He describes the fighting
near Soissons ten days ago as re-
sulting favorably for the allies
but later the waters of the Aisne,
swollen by the heavy storms,
came over the banks, washed
bridges away and prevented the
allies from sending reinforce
ments to points where the French
troops were being hard pressed
by the Germans. This resulted
in retirement OF something like
a mile and the establishment of
"A strong front in a good strategic
position on the right bank of the
User.
The long-awaited decisive ac-
tion in Russian Poland has not
yet developed, probably on ac-
count Of the unfavorable wealth
er conditions which have prevail
ed for some weeks, but the Rus
sian statements tell OF small en-
gagements at certain points along
the trenches which indicates pre-
paredness on both sides to take
advantage of any opening that
offers.
In Galicia the Austrians have
succeeded to the east OF Zaklic-
zyn in forces in Kirliba ba pass
through which they expect to car
ry their aggressive campaign in
to Hungary, but Vienna reports
that in the Carpathians only pa
troll skirmishes have occurred.
