RUSSIANS USED
 GREAT SECRECY
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire]

LONDON. Jan. 9.-The Times Pet rograd correspondent, who is visiting Russian headquarters says he learns that the Russian blow in Gallcla and Bessarabia was planned with great secrecy as a strategic means for help ing the entente allies in the Balkans, but that as ip previous moments Of the same kind, the Germans learned of 1t and began immediately to withdraw their troops from the Danube.
 The recent conference in Sofia III which Field Marshal von Mackensen urged the Bulgarians to continue their march on Saloniki," says the corre- spondent, should be interpreted in the light of this withdrawal. The Germans were doubtful whether the Bulgarians would pursue the adventure once vQn Mackensen's troops were gone, but they were obliged to withdraw them as the Russian offensive could not be gainsaid."
 The correspondent pays tribute to the remarkable recuperative power that the Russians have displayed 'in lflt Ol iIt ''' es now assembled along the Austro- German front
 "'rhey are" he says, well supplied with munitions, in contrast to the po- sition a year ago, when we were re- duced to one shell per day per gum
 Tt would be premature" the corre- spondent adds "to draw hard and fast conclusions on the result of the present movement. and many feint and parry is likely to be witnessed before Gen erals Ivanoff and von Mackensen and Archduke Joseph Ferdinand come to q decisive blow"
 A slight frost. the correspondent continues, has improved the roads without stopping entrenching opera tions and the Russians are capturing inc after line of Teutonic trenches.

BEAUMONT, Texas.

 The police said Houchin told them he rObbedHammond's trunk of $4,000 after the killing and then fled to Fl Paso, and from there to Kansas City, Missouri, where he spent the money. Then he came to Texas and changed his name to D. w. Freeman
 letter addressed to D. w. Free man here, was delivered to a citizen of this place, w. D. Freeman, who turned it over to the postal author ities when he found inside $100 in currency and a warning to leave the state because a big reward had been offered for "him.'
 The letter was mailed at Weather ford Texas When Houchin called at the postoffice for mail addressed to D. w. Freeman, according to the po- lice, he was arrested, and after one night in jail, confessed.

STILL DISCUSS THE
 SIZE OF ARMY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Jan. 10.-The question of the eventual size of the British army, which the Times says has not vet been settled to the satisfaction of Reginald McKenna, chancellor of the excheuuer. and Walter Runciman, president of the board of trade, will be further dis cussed at cabinet council to be con- vened Tuesday
 Until this matter is settled, accord ing to the Times a cabinet crisis can not be said to have been surmounted or the country to be safe even from q general election.
 The Daily Mail, in an editorial, argues that unless the country is able to pay for all the soldiers required to smash Germany, the war is best lost and the ministers had better say so.
 But the fact is,' the Daily Mail continues, there is plenty of money if only national and individual waste is prevented. This is a. matter for Me Kenna to devote his attention. Since his exhortations for economy have not the slightest effect on the British pub lie, MT. McKenna should suppress the mad orgy of state and individual waste by example and legislation.

SAYS MAS MOUSsY
 WHO SAVED YPRES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS, Jan. 9.-The widow of the late General Moussy of the French army has written from Brest to LEclair, saying that she "does not wish to let history be falsified," and as her husband is no longer alive to vim dicate his claims, she wishes to enter objection to the assumption of the title of ViscOunt of Ypres by Field Marshal Sir John French, on the ground that it was General MousSy who saved Ypres on the sixth of Novem- Der, 1914.
 The widow asserts the facts were that General Moussy, commanding the 33rd Brigade of French Infantry, by tle desperate resistance of his detach- inert sent to Zillebeke on October 31, to the relief of the British at Ypres and by his stOcial calm and tenacious attitude treasured the British, who re- gained confidence, thus arresting the German advance and preventing the Germans from reaching Calais, by his decisive intervention.
 Again the generals widow says that it was on December at the head of a little troop of about 250 men of all arms got together in haste by General Moussys staff, that the general charged when the Germans attempt to pierce the line at Ypres was made, routed two Bavarian regiments and in the end saved Ypres by capturing hill number sixty between Sewartlen and ZilleZeke, thus rendering the march on Calais impossible.

 PARIS, Jan. 9.-London, Jan. 1O.- The French troops have withdrawn from the summit of Hirzstein, south of Hartmans- Weilerkopf. This admis- sion is made by the communication issued by the war office tonight The withdrawal was due to the cap ture by the Germans of a hill north of Hirzstein.
 The text of the communications reads as follows:
 Tn Belgium our artillery fire sur prised two groups of enemy infantry to the east of Lombaertzyde and dis persed them.
 Tn Champaine German mine was exploded to the south of the Butte Du Mesnil. An engagement with srenades was fought around the ex- cavation of which we remained masters.
 A bombardment of our lines be- tween Saint Hilaire Legrand and Vile Sur Touroe, was met with an effective counter shelling by our ar tilery.
 The enemy, despite preparations for an attack noted by our observers. were not able to set out from their trenches.
 Tn the Argonne our trench guns exploded. a munitions depot in the enemy lines at La File Morte
 Tn the Vosges we carried out on Stocka north of Metzeral, an effica- cious bombardment The Germans who had evacuated the village were taken under the fire of our 75's. To the northwest of Muenster, near Stossweier, we caused seven fires in the German works.
 'To the south of Hartmans- Weller kOpf, after a series of fruitless at Jacks followed by a violent bom- bardment, the Germans succeeded in taking possession of a little neck of land situated to the north of the summit of Hirzsten.
 Under these conditions our troops occupying that summit withdrew It has been established that our barrier fires Inflicted considerable losses on the enemy The artillery struggle continues

WAR SUBJECTS
 DRAG IN HOUSE
 AND IN SENATE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-After a wek of open discussion in the senate and house, congressional excitement over the foreign relations of the United States has been considerably allayed. Administration leaders ap- pear to have succeeded in prevailing upon most of their colleagues to adopt a policy of patient waiting for com plete investigation of recent war zone incidents in which American lives were sacrificed.
 Eventually the foreign relations committee of the senate will undertake deliberation of all matters pertaining othe European conflict which have come before it, including proposed in vestigation into British interference with neutral shipping and belligerent attacks upon neutral ships in which American lives have been sacrificed or imperilled.
 Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, au- thor of the resolution which would direct inquiry into the British treat ment of trade, has given notice that he will address the senate this week on phases of the cotton situation, as af- fected by the attitude of Great Britain. Senator Smith and other members of congress today introduced cablegrams from the American Association of Commerce and Trade in Berlin, pray ing for action to assist American firms there declared to be facing ruin be- cause of the British blockade.
 Deliberation on the subject of na- tional preparedness is now fairly underway in both houses of congress- The leaders agree that it will be many weeks before any definite idea can be formulated as to the navy and army bills. This week the senate committee on military affairs will begin hearings on army reorganization, the house committee having begun last week
 Other committees will begin work tomorrow framing the rivers and har- bors bill, which will aggregate approxi- mately S40,000,00 the urgent defi- ciency bill, for which estimates aggre- gating $3,000000 already are in for the present fiscal year, the Indian appro- priation bill, aggregating s10,0O0, 900 and the postoffice appropriation bill
 The annual fight over the rivers and harbors bill will be launched tomor- row. Representative Frear of Wis consin will make a speech against the forthcoming measure.
