SPECTACULAR FEATURE OF WAR
IN SNoWCLAD MoUNTs-No
IMPORTANT ENGAGEMENT.
TROOPS DUG IN FOR WINTER
Paris and Berlin Far Apart IN Their
Versions Of Massiaes Encounter.
French Claim Effective ArtlI-
iery Action.

London.-lt is impossible In view Of
the contradictions In the German and
French official statements to get a
clear idea Of what Is happening Va
these first days OF February along the
battle line extending from the North
Sea TO the Vosges.
Now, as at other times, both Paris
and Berlin claim victories OF consider
able importance and az has happened
before, both sides claim victory in the
same action.
This particular battle. almost AZ hot

nine smaller guns and much war ma

French made several counterattacks
during the night, but were repulsed In
each instance.
The consensus Of opinion 10 that
such fighting IA ~ going on at scat

sultory character and OF absolutely no
bearing either on the general result OF
the war or on the plans of the hostile
camps for the spring campaign. which
will be under way full blast in a very
few weeks now. For the most part,
both French and German troops are
pretty well dug In" for the winter In
strongly entrenched and comfortable
positions and the commanders on both
sides realize that the worst enemy
they face Is disease, which will be In

state ~geologist, In cooperation, with
a view to solving a much discussed

~Vanceboro, Me.-Another interna
tional problem incident to the war was
thrust upon the United States by the
action of Werner Van Horn, who, op-
Grating on the Canadian side of the
border, dynamited the railway bridge
over the st. Croix river and then es-
capped into Maine.
A few hours later in a room at q
hotel here, Van Horn submitted to ar,
rest, but Immediately proclaimed him
self al officer of the German army
and set up the claim that he had com,
mitted an act Of war and, having fled
to a neutral country, could not be sur.
rendered legally to an enemy of the
fatherland.
The Canadian authorities took a diff.
ferent view of the matter and immedi.
ately instituted proceedings to extra.
dite the prisoner on a charge of de.
struction of railroad property. Pend
ing the outcome of these efforts Van
Horn is held at the immigration office
here In custody of a deputy sheriff.

Woman Wins Case.

In alarming the case Of the Illinois
Central railroad against Mollie Ford
the supreme court holds the six mile
statute applicable, and affirms the de
cision of the chancery court Of Pamela
county, when Mollie Ford was given a
verdict for $4,000. Mollie Ford is the
widow Of q workman who was killed
by a train going AZ miles an hour, the
locomotive passing through a small
town at a high rate of speed. The
question involved was whether the six
mile statute applied to employees of the
company, the railroad claiming it did
not. The supreme court says a change
has been effected in a former rule by
statutes. and employees Of railroads,
other corporations, and individuals
using dangerous agencies, shall have
the same rights and remedies for in.
juries suffered, as are allowed to other
persons not employed.
