LONG ENOUGH TO WAIT.

st. Paul, Jan. S.-"Thirty years
is long enough to wait for the pay
ment of any debt" said Thomas Muir
ply, janitor, today in commenting up
on the story of violin. It's an old
violin, bearing a date of 1924 and is
probably quite valuable. Thirty
years ago Murphy took it as security
for a loan. Then he waited. The
wandering musician failed to return
and so he sold the violin to Antonio
Strapassio, an Italian musician. for
$40. 49,

FRENCH CLAIM GERMAN
ATTACKS REPULSED

Paris, Jan. 18.-Two assaults of
the Germans near Autrech, north
west Of Versuraisne, have been re-
pulsed by the French, with the Ger
mans suffering large losses. The
losses of the French have not been
large. The French are pushing their
offensive movements in Lepetrie
woods, and several German positions
there have been captured. The heavy
cannonading of the last few days
between the North Sea and Oias con-
tinues, and the weather is preventing
attempted beginnings of the German
advances.

MINNESOTA HAS SAVED
100000 IN FOODSTUFFs

st. Paul, Jan. 18.-In the purchase
of foodstuffs alone, for state institu-
tions, Minnesota during the past year
has saved 100000, according to a
report of the state board of control,
today. In addition, $4,000 has been
saved on the contract for the con-
struction of the new chemistry build
ing at the state university. Possibly
for political purposes, the state
board of control made statement in
which it attributed this fact to the
fact that they are allowed to award
contracts to either firms inside or out
side Minnesota.

ALLIES HAVEL0ST
$4,000 men in MONTH

Berlin, Jan. 1S.-Oficial state
ments given out at war headquarters
this morning show that the Allies
have lost $4,000 men since assuming
the offensive on December 5, while
the Germans have lost quarter of
that number. Reason for this is be-
cause of the more careful movements
of the Kaiser's troops, but at the
same time they have been able to
gain two to four miles along the
Aisne river by clever advances, while
the French failed to secure an advan-
tage here. Contradictions have been
filed to the British claims of victor
les in East Africa, where the Ger
mans are claimed to have routed g.
900 British with but 1000 men.

Berlin, via The Hague, Jan. 49,
Sentiment throughout Germany fol
an effective blockade of the English
coast by mines, submarines and other
devices, including raids on British
merchantmen, carrying foodstuffs, is
increasing. The suggestion made by
Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz in his re-
cent interview, that submarine war

has been discussed in every quarter
This is especially so as far as official
dom is concerned.

every possible emphasis on her plan
to starve Germany out and that Ger

if she takes aggressive action along
similar lines. The use of the great
aerial fleet, hitherto practically use

nection, Count Reventlow, discussing
the situation in the Deutche Zeitung
says:
Sin Against Germans.
1.-THE means are in our possession,
which promise results. 1T would be
a sin against the German nation and
the German people if these were not
soon applied and carried out to the

The Cologne Gazette, which is usu-
ally inspired and whose utterances
have great weight, takes a similar
view. In it's leading editorial - it
urges a relentness warfare against

ATTEMPTS MADE TO
LOCATE WEAK SPOTS
Activities of Past Week, Says Mason
Have Brought Most Important
War Developments.
GERMAN PLAN CARRIED OUT
Displacing of General Pau Shows Op.
position to Be More Formidable
Than at First Expected.
(By J. w. T. MasOn,)

New York, Jan. 18.-The battle of
scissors and the success of the Ger
mans in Selling Judgement on the
south bank of the Aisne have given to
the week the most important news
of the years. For three weeks each
belligerent has been striving to find
weak spot in the others lines.
The Germans eventually have been
successful in the search and have
won the most notable victory in the
west since the occupation of Ostend
A number of trenches have fallen in
to their possession, putting them in
artillery reach Of two-thirds of the
area of scissors. To make the cross
ing more secure, scissors itself will
have to occupied. This seems to be
the principal German objective for
the moment in the western war area.
Won by England.
Whether it will develop into a Sc
rious attempt to reach Paris again
probably depends upon the quality of
the French resistance. The positions
now captured by the Germans were
originally won by the English at
heavy cost during the battle of the
Aisne. The inability of the French
to retain possession of the trenches
after the English had left them for
Flanders will give an unpleasant i'm
preston among the Englishmen.
Paris has had reports during the
week that Gen. Pau, the one armed
popular hero of the Franco Prussian
war has not given satisfactory SER
vice since he was put in charge of the
Alsace campaign. Only as last re-
sort would Gen. Pau be displaced ow
ing to the discouraging effect upon
the French opinion. If, therefore,
Gen. Pau has been replaced the OPP
position is more formidable than had
been expected.
Was Responsible.
In the east the resignation of Count
Berchtold, Austrian foreign minister,
is the most significant development
of the war; Berchtold was the Gre
ator of the war, having worded
Austria's ultimatum to Servia in such
a manner as to be unacceptable.
