Berlin Reports the Fighting
on East Front as Desperate

BERLIN, March S, by wireless
The campaign in Poland appears to be
at present an affair of shifting local
successes for one side and the other.
without particular significance. The
Germans have been compelled to re-
tire before superior Russian forces
from Myszniec. which lies close to the
East Prussian border.
The report that two of the forts at
Ossowetz have been destroyed has not
been confirmed officially, but 1t follows
the Russian report that heavy batteries
have been brought into position before
the city. If this report be true, 1t
means a considerable success for the
Germans.
Russian Offensive Desperate.
Galicia ia still the scene of general
heavy fighting, with the Russians
maintaining a desperate offensive.
The military critic of the Morgen
Post expresses surprise that the
French, notwithstanding the steady re-
verses with which they are said to
have met, still feel that their forces
are strong enough repeatedly to as
sumo the offensive in Champagne.
A Vienna dispatch says that DR..
Koenig has presented to the military
authorities ninety dogs from Green
land for the purpose of drawing sleds
loaded with ammunition and provisions
through the snow-covered region. This
innovation already had proved to be
success.
Hard Fighting in Carpathians.
The fighting in the Carpathians is
growing more intense hourly, and the
Russians have been forced to assume
the defensive, despite their energetic
exertions, according to a dispatch sent
by Herr Lennhof. correspondent Of the
Mittag Zeitung, from Austrian head
quarters. Herr Lenhors message con-
tinues:
They (the Russians) show great
skill In utilizing Typographical ad-
vantages to ward of enve1oping move

DRY DISTRICT SPAN
OF SENATOR SHEPPARD
Will Press Prohibition Legislation
at Next Session of
Congress.

Senator Sheppard of Texas, chair
man of the special committee of the
Senate which Investigated the District
excise board. before leaving Washing
ton today stated that he intended to
press for legislation making the Dis
trict of Columbia dry" at the next ses-
sion of Congress He will also make
every effort to get favorable considera-
tion in the Senate of resolution look
ing to the amendment of the Constitu-
tion SO as to provide for nationwide
prohibition. He was the author of such
resolution which was favorably re-
ported by a subcommittee to the full
committee on the judiciary at the ses-
sion just closed.
Sentiment Increased.
Senator Sheppard is authority for the
statement that the investigation made
by his committee of the local excise
board has considerably strengthened
the demand for prohibition in Wash
ington among members of Congress.
He pointed out that his committee had
reported to the Senate that it believed
the District board had encouraged
evasions and perversions of the excise
law.
A number of bills providing for pro-
hibition in the District of Columbia
were introduced at the last session,
but none was acted upon either by
the District committee of the Senate
or by the Senate.
Senator Sheppard made an attempt to
have the District appropriation bill
amended so as to provide for prohibi-.
ton. but failed largely because the
rules of the Senate provided that general
legislation could not be placed as a
rider upon general appropriation bills,
unless by unanimous consent.
Possible Stand Of House.
That the House would vote the Dis
trict dry" if given an opportunity is
believed to be assured. No proh.... lion
measure requiring only a majority of
the House for passage has failed in
that body for many years.
Senator Works of California and Sena-
tor Thompson of Kansas were authors
of prohibition bills for the District at
the last session, as well as Senator
Sheppard, and they also are expected
to renew their efforts in behalf of pro-
hibtion next sess
