WAR SUMMARY
Republican A. p Leased Wirel


Although considerable fighting has
taken place along the various war
fronts there have been no notable
changes in the positions Of any of the
combatants.
In the region of Neuville st. Vaast
the French have attacked with hand
grenades the positions taken from them
by the Germans. But according to
Berlin they were repulsed with heavy
losses. although a mine crater was
captured by the French Paris says
two attacks by the Germans in a road
between Arras and Lens were put
down and that German munitions
depot was blown up near Puisaleine by
the French artillery.
All along the line from Riga to Bu-
koWina there have been artillery bonn
bardments and occasional infantry at
tacks by the Russians and Germans
and Austro- Hungarians. Petrograd re-
ports a surprise attack near Buozacz,
Calcia by the Russians in which a
large party of Teutons was put to
flight after having suffered heavy
mine craters 10y the Russians north of
Bovan.
The italians have re-occupied on the
heights to the west of Gorizia-ground
from which they had previously been
forced to retire in the face of an Aus
trian attack, and also have put down
with heavy casualties a strong attempt

Berlin Protests Through U.
S. Ambassador Against
Cruelties Alleged Prac-
ticed by Allies III the
Trenches
BRITAIN ENTERS
GENERAL DENIAL
Charge German Officers
Tied to Trees That Ger
man Bullets Might Strike
Them: General French
Makes Statement
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

LONDON, Jan. 2S., II: 05 p. m.-The
foreign office this evening made pub
lie a note from the German foreign of
flee transmitted through James w. Ger
ard, the American ambassador to Ger
many, relating to alleged cruelty on
the part of French and English troops
toward German prisoners. The British
government gives unqualified denial to
the charges.
The note requests the Washington
government to transmit protest
against this violation of international
law to both the British and French
governments The instances of alleged
cruelty cited are:
First, during the battle at Guise-
JonSeuX, August 80, 1914, a French
officer ordered a severely wounded
German officer to be placed on the
rampant of a French trench under the
fire of German artillery with the OBJ
ject of having him killed by German
bullets.
Second, on January 13, 1915, in the
neighborhood of Scissors, French
troops placed two captured German
soldiers on the rampant of their
trench, which was under German fire.
compelling them thus to pass many
agonizing hours.
Third, between March 13 and H.
1915, British troops in front of their
trenches at Aubers tied wounded
German officer to a tree and opened
fire on him when he waved his hand
kcrcniet to the German lines and re-
pulsed, by firing, the German at
tempts to free him from his desperate
position.
Evidence given at German military
inquiries into these Incidents" says
the note, have 5iven us proof of their
accuracy"
The British reply to the charges is
an unqualified denial from Field Mar
shal French, in command of the troops
at the time of the alleged cruelties,
which IS supported by statements from
officers along the front where the
crueities are alleged to have occurred
In his denial, General French says:
THE reports show that nothing is
known of the ill-treatment of German
prisoners. On the contrary there were
no trees in that locality to which a
l'German officer could have been tied
as alleged. The general officer COM
manding The Indian corps specifically
reports that there was no maltreat-
ment whatever, but that German
wounded We're rescued with heroism
by. Britishers.'
General French adds that the evil
| dence is Conclusive that there were no
sucn occurrences as charged The
supporting statement of General An
| derson of the Indian troops cites a
number of instances where Indians
rescued Germans who had been aban-
doned between the lines by their own
! forces.

With $50 feet Of water pouring over
the spillWays of the Roosevelt dam
last night the reservoir rising at the
rate of five inches an hour, and the
Verde reported at - feet, the Salt
River valley is again in a state of
flood.
Not only is the water coming over
the spillways, doing damage and caus-
ing apprehension on the part of recla
nation officials, but the water is COM
ing off the desert and is adding to
the seriousness of conditions.
The area affected by the present
flood has broadened considerably.
Whereas in the last deluge only peo-
pie in the river bottoms We're driven
from their homes this time ranchers
north of town are suffering
Cave Creek, where it crosses the
Arizona canal, simply refused to take
cognizance of the high earth banks
of that aqueduct and broke through,
flooding the entire north portion of
the valley. The water came up as far
as the Indian school, and sn many
places seemed running up hill, such
was the force behind it.
In that vicinity most ranches were
flooded to a depth of two feet. There
are several large chicken ranches in
the district. all of which are said to
have suffered heavily.
Paradise Valley

southeast, also contributed its share

MANY NARROWED;
SUPPLIES SHORT
Some Staple Lines Run Low
When FreightS CeaseI
Moving; Prescott Line Cut
by -Four Washouts in One
Day

To all practical purposes, Phoenix
yesterday was a city cut off from all
communication with the outside world,
and at the present time there is but
slight hope that the aggravating con-
dition can be remedied for long
term of hours at least.
No passenger trains left the city
yesterday except the Arizona Eastern
train which runs as far as Florence.
The Santa Fe did not operate trains
either into or out of the city No
mail arrived and no freight was
moved. The local hotels are filled
with marooned travellers.
Because there are no freight trains
coming into the city, it is feared that
many of the staple necessities may
run short and that a famine in some
lines az least, may become evident
The Santa Fe trains were tied up as
the result of the washing out of four
small bridges on the line between
Prescott and Congress Junction, and
the trains from the coast on the Park
er cutoff We're held up by damage
to the wooden bridge across the Aqua
Fria at Marinette. An official of that
road stated to The Republican last
night that a big force of men had
been rushed to the Aqua Fria crossing
and that it was hoped that train ser
vice could he resumed on the cutoff
today or tonight.
Efforts are also being made to re-
pair quickly the four small washouts
and work train left this city yes
terday and one was also sent south
from Prescott. The damage will be
repaired in day or so. \ train came
in from the west on the Parker line
yesterday afternoon but was held Up
at Wickenburg until the break at
Aqua Fria is put in order again.
In order that the stockmen from
this vicinity who attended the meet
ing at FL PasO may return, arrange
ments have been made to route theiI
train via Albuquerque, Ash Fork and
Cadiz. Calf, and thence home over
the Parker line. The train arrived al
Ash Fork at 10 o'clock last night
and left there at / o'clock a. m. on its

of surplus water. The desert in that
locality was flooded and water poured
into the valley in vast and copious
amounts. The crest of that flood
passed yesterday afternoon and last
evening the water of both Cave Creek
and Paradise Valley had dropped
about a foot.
Verde Rising
Project Manager w. S. Cone of the
reclamation service last night pro-
fessed to be greatly worried over the
situation. With the rapid rise of wa
ter over the spillWays at Roosevelt
the situation was bad enough. but,
added TO this, the Verde persisted in
rising. A reading at Fossil Creek late
last evening gave the height of the
water running into the Verde at %
feet and still going up. The maxi :
mum height of the water of the Verde
during the late flood was - feet
Fears are expressed that it will GO
even higher this time. The tele-
phone line to Fossil Creek has since
gone down and late readings from
that place are not to be obtained.
LateraIs Emptied
Project Manager Cone yesterday y
afternoon issued orders to empty all
laterals north of town. This was done
to relieve the strain of the high water
on the Arizona canal. With this pre-
caution, it was thought that that
canal would be able to withstand the
onrush of waters.
At Wickenburg the water in the
Hassayampa is the highest it has beer
in years. The river took out the two
center spans and washed out both APP
Tempe and Mesa
Both of the southside towns last
night were taking things easy and
entertained no fears of the high water

work has been going on for severa

patched up. Yesterday the water rose
so fast and was coming down will

OCCUPY GREEK FORT

LONDON. Jan. 2S.--A dispatch to

ian warships in the harbor landed at

peninsula under the guns of their ships
and occupied the Greek fort there. The
garrison of the fort offered no resist
ance.

so far as could he ascertained there
ing down. Cave Greek waters had
not reached there
Reservoir Figures
The reservoir rose GAS feet from 6
O'Clock o'clock Thursday morning until
o'clock last night. In the twenty
four hours ending Yesterday morning
there vas a gain of 51,554 acre feet.
The total elevation of the reservoir
at o'clock last night was 234.90 feet.
The wire to the intake was washed
out last night and no figures could
he obtained as to how much water
was coming in. A motor boat was
sent to the intake dam last evening
to get figures there.
Ford, Washed Out
Following the flood last week. n ford
was put in shape connecting Phoenix
with ranches across the bridge. The
high water last night, washed this out
of existence. Some anxiety was felt
as to tne south abutments which sue
cessfully withstood the attacks of the
water before 1t was stated last night
that the precautions taken at that time
when over 1000 bags of sand were
placed in the hole, were still in force
and there was no danger at that point.
Much Debris
The water is full of debris. The
crew on duty last night was kept busy
most of the time hooking graphing
hooks onto trees and other floating OBJ
iects AS soon as a solid connection
was made. everyone in reach would be
pressed into service, and by the light
of lanterns, and at the earnest caiol-
lines Of Bargman, the floater would
soon be pulled into the stream.
There was nothing spectacular about
the vigil last night Last week, prac-
tically all the work done was in the
sight of thousands of interested sight
seers. There was not a visitor or
hand at any time during the whole
night The rush of sightseers is ex-
pected today. AS soon as it becomes
known that there is as much water iT
the river as before, the other half OF
Phoenix which failed to make the pill
Srimage to the river will undoubtedly

have been taken to keep all off the
bridge The rope which did such goot
service before has been strung up. ant
no one will be allowed near the struc-
