BERLIN OFFICIAL.
Progress in Poland Slow Owing to Bad
Weather.

Berlin, Jan. 1.-THE German army
headquarters staff today issued the fol-
lowing statement:
AT Newport and at Ypres and south
thereof only artillery combats have
taken place. A French attack at La
Boisselle, to the northeast of Albert,
failed completely. North of scissors
the French, who had established them
selves in a small section OF our outer
trenches, attacked, afresh. but SO far
they have gained no successes. The bat
ties continue.
In the neighborhood of Soupir least
of Vailly) no fighting has taken place
during the last few days.
ITO the east of Perthes our troops
have recaptured that portion OF our
trenches which the enemy had taken.
In this engagement heavy losses were
inflicted on the French.
In the Argonne forest our attacks
have made further progress. In up
per Alsace, the situation is tranquil.
In East Prussia and in Northern Po-
land the situation remains the same.
ION account of unfavorable weather
our attacks in Poland to the west of
the Vistula river are making slow
progress

The AISNE
Fighting Is Taking ON Proper
tiOns of General Battle.
Germans Are Trying to Regain
Their Lost Trenches.

Paris. Jan. 1.-THE fighting along
the Aisne, and especially in the vicin-
ity of scissors. is rapidly taking on
the proportions Of a general battle.
In an endeavOr to regain their lost
trenches, the Germans are bringing up
additional troops from the rear and
are also bringing into action addition
al artillery. The. fact that Scissors
has been used as a British headquar-
te-; is believed: here to be the reason
for the bombardment now in prog
reSS.
The Germans are also reported to
be active n the Champagne region
and in the Argonne but their move
ments here are believed to be in the
nature of attempts to feel out the
French line for a'weak spot.
1t is officially stated that there has
been no actual change in the situation
in Alsace. The fresh troops are slow
ly getting into action but q combina-
ton of snow, rain and mist has in
terfered with rapid movement. Both
sides have lost very heavily and
neither has up to the present gained
any decided ADVANTAGE.

TODAY'S Market REPORT.

Chicago. Jan. 1.-WHEAT-Uncertain
as to the outcome Of the difficulties be-
tween Turkey and Italy. tended to make
flightiness the character today of trade
in wheat. At the outset, the general tenn
perature was bearish. but offerings were
quickly absorbed by strong interests. AS
a result, prices took a swift upturn but
the effect failed to last and a decided re-
action ensued. After opening 14c to &c
lower, the market rallied to as much as
1c above Saturday nights level, and later
lost nearly all the gain
Severe censorship Of cables kept dealers
here in doubt until after midday. Then
the market dropped 51zc or more from
earlier figures owing to rumors that the
forts at the Dardanelles were giving way
to the allies. and that immense stores Of
Russian wheat would soon be available
for western Europe. The close was un-
settled at Sc to SIC net decline.
CORN-Corn proved weaker relatively
than wheat. Consignment notice from
opening, which was unchanged to c of,
increased weakness later.
Corn tumbled with wheat and in conse-
Quence Of announcement that the visible
supply of corn was the largest IN fifteen
years. The close was nervous, 1Ac to $50
11kc under Saturday nights close.
OATS@Oats merely reflected the course
Of other grain. Changes though were
narrow.

on the selling side of the provision mar
ket. Big receipts Of hogs was said to
have rendered a material breakdown Of
prices inevitable.

Last week Miss McCown told a few Of
her intimate friends of her engage
ment at an informal tea at the Nc
Gown home in Emporia. Senator Howe
stated today that the wedding would
occur some time in June. but that the
exact date would not be announced for
several weeks.
Senator Howe is the lone bachelor
member Of the Kansas state senate. He
is editor and publisher of the Dickin-
son County News in Abilene and the
owner of considerable real estate in
Dickinson county. Two years ago he
was elected to the state senate and was
regarded as one of the Democratic adj
ministration's close advisers. Since
April, 1918, Senator Howe has been Sec
rotary to the state board of-eentrof.
1t was shortly before Senator Howe
came to Topeka that he served as a
member of the board of education in
Abilene. 1t was at that time that Miss
McCown, an attractive and accom-
plished Emporia girl, came to Abilene
and applied for a position in the public
schools. The board employed the young
woman and a result of the meeting,
O.. friendship was begun between MEM
Der of the school board and teacher
which resulted in a wedding engage
ment.
Miss McGown is a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. w. McCown. Her father
is a Democratic leader in the Fourth

LILLE IS TAKEN.
British Reported to Have Cap.
tured Important Position
Which Germans Have Held for
Several Months.

London. Jan. 11.-An important ad-
vance has been made by the British
army, if as is reported in London it has
virtual possession of Lille. This city
lies Just south of the Belgian border
to the east of the battle line held TOT
several months. and its occupation py
the British would mean that a sharp
bend had been made in the German
front. Neither the French nor the Ger
man war office statements, however
has given official confirmation OF the
London dispatch.
Renewed activity along the coast, OF
German aircraft. which bombardeo
Dunkirk, has revived rumors of a Yep
pelin raid over England. One Zeppelin
is said to have moved toward the Eng
lish coast from Dunkirk.
Another lull in the fighting along the
Vistula. in Russian Poland is recorded
by the Petrograd war office. The fury
of the German attack has not spent
itself. however. and although the at
tempt to break through the Russian
line west of Warsaw may have been
given up for the time, the movement
from the north continues in full force.
Four successive German attacks were
made in this region and according to
the Russian version. they accomplished
little.
Edward Grey's reply to the American
with American shipping has virtually
disposed of the issue The reply is re-
garded as satisfying to the British
public opinion, and the British newspa-
perS take the view that 1t should sat
lSfy the American public.

new FRISCO PLANNED
Stockholders to Rehabilitate the Prop
erty Through Assessment.

st. Louis. Jan. 11.-Plans for the re-
organization of the st. Louis and San
Francisco, now in the hands of a re-
ceiver were learned from an authorita-
tive source today. The plans contem-
plate an assessment of $3.50 to $500
on each share of Frisco stock and this
is expected to yield 100000 to the
railway treasury.
A new corporation will be organized
and the old corporation that operated
the road before the receivership will
pass out of existence.
A new corporation also will be or
ganized in Texas to operate the Texas
lines of the Frisco system. 1t is hoped
that the reorganization will be COM
pleted within 80 days. but at present
the plan is waiting for an easier mar
ket.
With money obtained by the as
sessment it is said all claims are to be
paid off and a new mortgage against
the property will be issued. But one
class of new stock will be issued.
The reorganization plan is the work
of B. F. Yoakum, former chairman of
the board of directors, of the old COM
pany, and it is understood he hopes to
be elected president of the new Frisco

The only available commercial en-
trance into Russia now is by way of the
back door, through ports in the Orient.
Most of Russia's purchases of foreign
war munitions are being made in Japan
and have to be sent to Manchuria and
then reshipped over the Transsiberian
railway. This is a long journey and
undoubtedly Japan is not allowing too
much munitions at present to leave her
own boundaries. These, therefore, are
the reasons why Russia is rejecting so
many recruits. The munition situation,
not the military, is responsible.

BRITAIN MAKES REPLY
Recognizes Justice of Americas Com
plant and Will Pay.

Washington. Jan. 11.-Great Britain's
preliminary reply to the note from the
United States government requesting an
improvement in the treatment of Ameri-
can commerce by the British fleet has
been made public here and in London by
mutual agreement between the state de-
partment and the British foreign office.
The British communication concurs in
the view of the United States that COM
merce between neutral nations should be
interfered with only when imperatively
necessary and officials of the Washington
government construed it as conceding
that the principles expressed by the
American note were just and upheld by
the previously accepted usages of inter
national law.
Briefly, the British note. while conced-
iEg the principle of the American govern
ment's contentious. points out difficulties
in actual practice. refers to alleged fraud
ulent practices by shippers and cites sta
tistics showing an increase rather than a
dee lease in certain neutral commerce IN
support of Great Britains suspicious that
Germany and Austria have been Indirect
ly obtaining contraband through neutral
countries.
The note promises that Great Britain
will make redress whenever the action
of the British fleet may Internationally
exceed the limits of International law.
