FIGHTING FIERCEST IN HISTORY
Austrians Advance at Important
Points in Spite Of Snow

London, Jan. 11.-London people
are greatly excited over the fate of
the British army at Kut Ell Amora.
The British relief army which is on
its way to the rescue is seventeen
miles distant and will have to cut
it's way through the Turkish forces
which outnumber the relief expedi-
tion two to one.

London, Jan. 11.-While the Rus
sian front has been quiet during the
past twenty-four hours there has
been severe fighting in the other
war theaters.
| On the Montenegrin front the
Austrians have been generally sue
cessful. They have advanced their
positions at several important
points despite the handicap of snow
waist deep, and are showing them
selves just as adept as the Montene-
grins in mountain fighting which
heretofore has been regarded as the
particular speciality of the ,Nontene-
grin soldiers.
In Champagne the French have
repulsed four German attacks. The
Germans, however, have retained a
foothold at two places in the French
advanced trenches.
In Persia, British reinforcements
on their way to the relief Of Kut-El-
Amara have met Turkish forces
which were compelled to retire af-
ter some heavy fighting.
The Petrograd official commune
cation says that the calm on the
Czernowitz front is due to the huge
losses and resulting decentralization
of the Austro-Hungarian army. That
there is some basis for this statement
is evident from the estimate of the
Hungarian newspaper Poster Lloyd
that the losses on both sides of the
Bessarabian battles so far exceed
$4,000, or more than the total
British losses in the whole Dardan-
Giles campaign.
Another Hungarian newspaper
states, on the authority of staff re-
port that the fighting on this front
has been the bitterest and bloodiest
in the history of the war, both sides
sacrificing men in a manner without
parallel.
The Saloniki' front is chiefly no
table in the days dispatches as the
scene of almost continued aeroplane
skirmishes, one of which continued
for two hours The Germans have
thus far lost six aeroplanes in this
region.
