TRIES TO SAVE GULL
BUT LOSES OWN LIFE

Newburyport, Mass, Feb. 2.-Nicholas
Woodward's efforts to rescue an in
iured bird from the Merrimac river to-
day are believed to have cost him his
life in the cold northeast snow storm.
Volunteers from Rings Island, where
Woodward lived and the Newburyport
life saving crew searched the river with
their life boats for several hours but to
a late hour tonight no trace of him
had been found. 1t is thought he lost
an oar while battling with the heavy
ice cakes and was carried out to sea
where he frOZe to death or fell over
board and was drowned.
Woodward, who was IS years of age,
braved the sto.m in a small row boat to
pick up a gull which was floating, appa-
rently crippled, in the midst of the ice
foes. In short time the snow shut
in so thickly that he was lost to view.
Later, persons on the banks of the river
thought they heard faint cries for help,
but could see nothing through the thick
curtain of snow. A search was promptly
begun, but no sign of Woodward or his
boat could be seen.

GERMAN LINES AGAIN FORM
ADVANCE ON WARSAW WITH
AUSTRIAN ADVANCE IN MOUNTAIN,

London, Feb. 2.-Q.30 =. M).-The Ger
man lines, after a long period of prepa-
ration would appear today, judging from
reports reaching London. to be putting
into execution their plans for an advan,e
on Warsaw. At the same time the. Aus
trians seem to have renewed their for
ward movement in the Carpathian noun
tains.
The fighting in the Carpathians is ex-
pected to decide for the period of the war
the mastery of the three most important
passes through the mountains-Uzsok
Dukla and WysZkow. The strategic val
ue of these passes is indicated by the
fact that Wyszkow is almost due south
of Lemberg, while UZsok is in the same
relative position from Phzemysl and
Dukla is situated similarly with regard
to Cracow. The lighting in the Carpa-
thians apparently has not yet assumed
full proportions but the Austro- German
concentration is progressing, notwith-
standing Russian harrassments.
Spirited contests are in progress in the
western war zone also, the Germans hav-
ing made attacks in force at La Bassee

Paris, Feb ., PAS p. M.-The French
war office this afternoon gave out a
report on the progress of the war
which reads as follows:
THE day of Feb /, was marked by
redoubled intensity in the artillery
fighting on our part as well as that
of the enemy and by series Of Ger
man attacks of relatively secondary
importance, all of which were repuls-
ed, with serious losses for our ad-
versaries when compared to the num-
bers of men they had engaged.
In Belgium the German heavy ar
tillery gave evidence of it's greatest
activity on the front of the Belgian
troops. and particularly against the
various points of support which these
troops have been occupying for some
time past in the region of the User.
Around Ypres the cannonading was
at some places exceedingly violent.
Between the LyS and the Sommo,
a German regiment attacked a Brit
ish position near Cuinchy and at first
drove the English soldiers back. AZ
ter a series of counter attacks the
British troops re-occupied the ground
they had lost and then advanced in
to new territory, taking possession
of trenches of the enemy.
The engagement reported in the an
nouncement given out the night ~

roadway between Bethune and La

applause.
AS the purpose of the banquet was
in part to create an interest in the
discussion club to be started next
Sunday afternoon by Mr.. Goodman
he, as the one who is to lead the
group, gave an outline of the course.
1t is to be a course of some fifteen
weeks in length and will have as
topics for consideration the various
problems of the High School Student
such as cheating. gambling, use Of vu!-
gar language, Intoxicating liquors, etc
This group will meet every SUNDAY

Rev. II. +. Dunnack. member OF
the Boys work committee, gave the
closing address of the evening and
was as usual the real orator of the
occasion. His words regarding school
work with reference to the differences
between individuals were very timely
and interesting. 1t was the finishing
touch to make all who attended ap-
preciate that High school bauquets
were worth having.

of a rehearsal. No foundation is discor-

craft were travelling over Dover. The
firing by the Dover forts is said to have

French statements is apparent to anyone
