inflated us again by refusing TO take
part in the italian exposition.
The browning insult to our dignity
took place In 1912. We had alinos, all
N available troops in Tripoli and
Cyrenaica when we heard that Austria
was arining herself at our frontier and
was getting ready to attack us in order
to put an end to the question Of
of our diplomacy that a conflict was
aVprted.
What has happened since July of last
year has been indicated by the Italian
rot. TO Washington. The treaty of the
Triple Alliance had been renewed again
In 1911 and greater stress had been
pm. on the preservation Of he status
auo in the Balkans. The attack upon
Serbia on the part Of Austria against
the will and advice OF Italy rendered
the treaty void and left Italy free To
act as she pleased. For that reason

adopted the policy OF watchful waiting
and declared herself neutral.

Germans Efforts to ReCapture
Position PreCipitateS Fight
But Russians Maintain Front
RepuISing Attacks.

PETROGRAD. Jan. 2S.-Fighting
in the region of Gumbinnen and
Pinkallen, East Prussia, has developed
into a general battle as a result of the
Germans efforts to recaptured posi-
tions taken by the Russians. The
cars troops are maintaining their
front, however, and are repulsing all
the attacks.
Hard fighting continues in the re-
gion of Borjimow, west Of Warsaw,
while in Galicia the Russians are en-
gagged in conflict along a 1OO-mile
front from Dukla pass to the town of
WyszekOw, almost directly south OF
LembOrg in the Carpathian noun
tains.
1t is admitted here that because of
recent heavy attacks by Austrians the
Russians who had succeeded in driv-
ing their way into Hungary have been
forced to retire some miles TO the
north where slight skirmishes have re-
suited in Russian successes.
The following report from the Rus
sian general staff was given out at
the war office today:
Fighting continues in the Mala-
wischken-L -Lasdehnen district
ION the right bank of the lower
Vistula Gin northern Poland) there
has recently been heavy artillery fir
ing and conflicts between advance
parties of troops. From the front
along the river to the district around
Skempe we have harried rear guards
of several German battalions.
"On the left bank of the Vistula. on
the night of Jan. 20, following a day
which brought no important changes
in a general way, the Germans re-
sumed their attack on our front in the
region of Borjimow. All these at
tacks were repulsed. During one of
them some of the enemys detach-
ments who charged our trenches We're
put to the bayOnet. During the past
day our artillery bombarded with
success the enemys lines and silenced
their batteries in the village of
Aitanka-
I'm Galicia the fighting is on a
more extended scale on all the front
from Dukla pass to WysZekOw on
the right wing of the front we cap
tured 200 prisoners and two raptd-fire
