WAR SUM MARY

Again the great battle in the
west seemingly has come to yir-
tually standstill. There still is
fighting in the northern part of
France, where the Frendh war
office reports the capture of a
leW trench in the vicinity of
Perthes, but apparently the Ger
mans have ceased for the time
being the impetuous advance
which in the last few days has
gained for them considerable
territory.
A late report from Paris says
heavy cannonade has been
heard on the Swiss frontier near
Basel which probably is an in
dication of heavy fighting in the
Alsace province.
a Rotterdam paper estimates
the British losses in France aud
Flanders from January TO Jan
uary 13 as 1870 officers and 6 200
men. The experts Of the Berlin
Tageblatt estimate the French
losses in the three days fighting
in the scissors district to total
10000 men, but the French deny
any such casualty list. Berlin
says the fighting around SCISSORS
is r. arded Dy German military
experts as the greatest success
THE German troops have gained
in France for three months.
An Osetnd correspondent of an
Amsterdam paper declares the
Germans have evacuated all the
coast towns and villages as far
north as Mariakerke, north of
Nieuport, and three miles to the
southwest of Ostend.
From the Russian Poland arena
comes word Of comparative calm,
although the Germans, according
to Petrograd have been continu-
ing hteir offensive operations,
but without success. The Aus
trial war department says the
situation in Poland, Galicia and
the Carpatihians show no change.
The British foreign office and
admiralty are bending their ef-
forts to secure an immediate
search of foreign vessels sus-
pected of carrying contraband,

7London Jan. l6.-9;&5 p. m.-There
have been no new developments so
far as official reports disclose as
result of the German success in re-
gaining lost ground north of scissors
and the Eussian advance between tine
east Prussian frontier and the Vistula
river
The French who are strongly en-
trenched along the Aisne river, on
either side of scissors, with the as
sistance of the floods apparently
have checked any further German ad-
vance and big guns have taken the
place of rifles and bayonets in the
fighting in that region. In fact artil-
lery continues to play the leading
role although here and there along
the Line attacks and counatr attacks
have been made The Germans ne
captured some trenches near Carency

In Poland north and south. the
