London, Jan. 1S.-The care of pris-
oners taken in battle has become one
of the most serious problems of the
war in Servia. A Servian captain
writes to one of the staff of the legation
here:
Feeding all these hostile visitors un-
til the war is over is becoming a tre-
mendous tax on our resources.
"Some of the Slav prisoners-and

The baby arrived at 4:30 O'clock

Both mother and baby were reported

broke the German ranks, driving them
as far as the Crouy railroad station
and taking 100 prisoners. Hardly,
however, had they returned with the
prisonelv when they were assailed by
fresh German forces and for two
hours st. Paul was subjected to a
furious assault.
The tide of battle ebbed and flowed
in the angle of stable stall. Here
the German dead were so numerous
that some stood upright, lacking room
to fall.
The good aim of the French three
inch guns, guided by aeroplanes pre-
vented German reinforcements from
debouching from the western slope of
the Vregny plateau, and the Germans,
exhausted and discouraged at their
lack of success, retired to Crouy.
The French retain the mastery of

bank of the river and of the bridge

Scissors, Jan. 1s.-The rear guard

quilted themselves with distinction.
They had been posted in the village
of Croy.
At four o'clock in the afternoon the
Germans debouched In the road and
advanced toward the village. The
rife men concealed their quick f1rers
and posted themselves on each side
of the road. Not sound was made
and nothing was allowed to show
above the blackened ruins. The Ger
mans thought the road was clear and
ran to the village to get shelter from
the French heavy artillery.
When they were within 500 yards
of the place the riflemen opened fire.
There was no room to deploy and the
Germans fell in heaps. Those who
could retreated to the brook of Braye.
Reinforced, they reformed their

Defensive Attitude Adopted
By Army Outside Of
Poland's Capital
MORE PRESSURE is
PUT ON THE FRENCH
Russians Report Successes
in Campaigns Against
Turk and Teuton

London, Jan. 1S-London is recalling
that this is the forty-fourth annivers-
ary of the proclamation Of Wilhelm l.,
as German emperor, and in the British
capital it is expected that the day may
bring news of a widespread German eff
fort to follow up with still more i'm
Dortant movement the success achiev-
ed last week in the neighborhood Of
Soissons
In London 1t is believed that the
Germans have adopted what is virtual
ly defensive role to the west of War
saw-some British observers arguing
that this has been forced on them by
superior Russian numbers-and that
these defensive tactics synchronize
with the movement of many thousands
of German troops from Poland to the
French and Belgian battlefields The
fighting at scissors, some British COM
mentators declare to be the precursor
of the entry of these new troops on
vigorous offensive, perhaps an attempt
to cross the river Aisne At Soissons
the French failed to hold their posi-
ton on the northern bank Of the river,
and for the Germans to attempt to
gain the southern bank is regarded as
development to be expected. AS to
future engagements in this region, it
appears to be fact that the French
artillery on the hills south of Aisne
commands all the approaches to the
river and that it will have to be reck-
ored with.
In the eastern arena of the war the
steady pressure which the arrival OF
one million of last year levies has en-
abled the Russians to exert on the
Germans, according to news dis
patches reaching London, has been
slowly pushing back the German line
to the west of Warsaw. News dis
occupation of Plock. This report has
not been confirmed officially, but the
Russians on Saturday crossed the
Wkra river few miles below that
point and may have been able to oc-
cupy the city. The Russian forces al
ready had reached Sierpec and Com
bin, lying respectively directly north
and south of this provincial capital.
The Russian defeat of the Turks, if
the claims of Petrograd are fully borne
out, was so decisive that it may mark
the close of the Turkish attempt to
invade Russia in the Caucasian region.
The Russian victory probably will |
free enough of the Caucasian army to |
oppose effectively the Turkish forces
which are approaching the frontier
farther eastward, through Persia.
