The French. who are strongly in
trenched along the Aisne river on
either side of scissors, with the as
sistance of the floods. apparently have
checked any further German advance,
and big guns have taken the place of
rifles and bayonets in the fighting in
that region. In fact, artillery contin-
ues to play the leading role. although
here and there along the line attacks
and counter attacks have been made.
The Germans in one of these recap
tured some trenches near Carency, but

near Flirey, south of Thiaucourt.

Germans Recover Lost Ground.
The Germans have displayed much
activity in their effort to recover
ground they lost during the offensive

without making headway.
Unless Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg has another army to meet the
Russians, who have advanced almost to
the German frontier on the right bank
of the Lower Vistula, this hammering
must soon cease, for with the freezing
of the river it would be possible for
the Russians to cross and attack the
Germans on the flank and rear.

With the ground in it's present soft
condition, military men in London do
not believe the Germans will make any

Say Joffre Offensive Failed.
BERLIN. January 16, (By wireless to
Sayville. l.. 1.-THE fighting in the re-
gion of scissors Is regarded by Ger
man military experts as the greatest
success for the German troops in
France for three months and it is held
to confirm their conviction that the
offensive of Gen. Joffre. the French
commander-in-chief. has broken down.
Maj. Moraht. writing in the Tageblatt,
says the total French losses in the
three days fighting in the scissors
district must have reached 10000. His
conclusion is that this victory must
expedite the German operations in the
Argonne forest and around the French
fortress of Vardun.

NAVAL MILITIA HERE
IS THIRD IN GUNNERY
Illinois and North Carolina Lead
District Men in Work
Aboard Vessels.

Third in gunnery is the standing
reached by the Naval Militia of the
District of Columbia in competition
with the naval militia organizations of
the country i'll the target practice held
aboard vessels of the navy during the
annual cruises last summer. This was
made known last night by the Navy
Department. The Naval Militia of Illi-
nois, with a score of 31.73S, won first
place. and takes the gunnery trophy
for naval militia organizations, which
1t will hold for one year. The North
Carolinians, who cruised aboard the
Rhode Island with the District organ
ization, finished second.
Strong efforts are now being made
by Commander Joseph A. Dempf, COM
manding the District Naval Militia, to
train the men of his organization in
gun pointing. SO that they may take
the trophy next year. He is paying
particular attention to the organiza-
tion of the spotting group, which, ac-
cording to the reports of the regular
naval officers of the Rhode Island. was
responsible for the District organiza-
ton finishing third this year.
Ranges Given Poorly.
The gun pointing was true, but the
ranges were given badly. The men
are getting down to practice with the
big four-inch gun in the local naval
militia armory earlier this year, and
will have had practically six months
at gun pointing by the time they go
on their annual cruise. Last year they
had less than one months practice.
Examinations for officers and men of
the naval militia were discussed at a
three-day conference concluded yester-
day by the national naval militia board
and special board of regular naval
officers. headed by Capt. w. A. Gill The
qualifications laid down by the joint
boards will determine the fitness of ap-
plicants to serve in the navy in time of
war. Officers of the District Naval Mi
litia are now being coached by Lieut..
