SAN DIEGO, Jan 7.-The impej- uous Barney O,dheld, Master Driver of the World, is entered in the Sl0,. 900 Exposition race to be held next Saturday morning on the Point Loma course.

NEW YORK, Jan 7-There was occasional animation on the stock market today mainly in special class securities This embraced Bethlehem steel which rose Go a new high price on dividend resumption rumors and American Canadian whose earnings are reported as very large. Nesting house electric and International liar vester whose foreign corporation reached minimum by abrupt de. cline and several newly listed auto. mobile shares.
 Favorite railway stocks were under pressure a greater part of the ses- sion and likewise United States steel again was offered for to foreign in. terests. During the final hour which was unusually active the whole list broadened and advanced with numer ous net gains of one to over three points
 Short interests in some of the more speculative issues hurriedly covered their commitments many sunerine considerable loss One interesting de. yelopment was the decline in London exchange. Exchange went to 4S3 l-2 the lowest since October 1907 during the stock market panic when banks decided to issue loan certificates. Nev- ertheless bankers doubted if any gold recently shipped to Ottawa will be returned soon

There she was the witness Of sud

FRENCHICAPTURE
A STRATEGIC POINT
Position at Les Eparges Dominates
Plains of the Woevre District
and Expedites Progress.

LONDON, April 10, 114O a. m. - The
French, with the capture Of Les Eparges,
have obtained one of the main objects of
their advance to southeastward from Yer
dun
The position at Les Eparges dominates
the plains of the Woeyre district and its
occupation by the French is announced Of
ficially.
Progress from Verdun means heavier
pressure on the northern flank of the Ger
mans holding St Alihiel, while the south
ern flank is threatened by the French ad-
vance from the Meuse district.
In the southern part of this field of oper-
ations the Germans are delivering almost
continuous counter attacks.
1t is evident that the French are not
only attempting to capture St. Mihiel,
which has always been a danger point,
since the German wedge was driven into
the allies lines, but are at the same time
seeking to aid the Russians by preventing
| the withdrawal of the German corps for
| the relief of the hrad-pressed Austrian and
German forces IN the Carpathians
Rumors that Austria IS about to conclude
a separate peace grow in number and per-
isistency each day. These are accompanied
| by evidences that Italy is showing increas-
ling uneasiness over the situation.
