AUSTRO- GERMANS GIVE
UP BUKOWINA CAPITAL
Petroqrad Claims Foe Has Evacuated
CzernoWitz Vienna Describes
Fighting as Violent.

London, jan 5.-The Austro- German
forces have evacuated Czernowitz, the
capital of Bukowina, according to a
Reuter- Petrograd dispatch.
The report adds that large number
of prisoners have been taken and that
these include many Germans.
The Russian official reports up to
date, however, do not confirm the
evacuation of CzernowitZ, although
they do mention the capture of line
of trenches northwest of the city.
1t is around the Bukowinian strong
hold that the great fighting of the
southern Galician campaign has been
waged ever since the new Russian
drive began. If the reported capture
of Czernowitz be true, it means that
General Ivanoff has won battle that
will materially affect the Balkan
Greece campaign.
The fighting along the Galician-Bes-
sarabian line is being conducted in
bitter cold weather and amidst the
snow-filled valleys of the mountains
east of the River Pruth.
Notwithstanding this climatic stress
and the la ge forces opposing them.
everywhere in the Strypa and Volhyn-
ian districts of Russia and in East
Galicia the Russians are on the OF
fensive.
The Austrian official statement gives
vivid idea of the violent character
of the fighting. 1t says:
Russian attacks northeast OF Okna
and against the bridgehead at Us
cziebko and northeast of Buczacz, like
wise failed. The Russian losses were
appalling In a district ten kllometers
broad, the bodies of 1900 Russians
were counted. The number OF pris'
oners made northeast OF Buczacz
reached 800.'

REDMOND OPPOSES
CONsCR|PT|CN BILL
Declares Irish Will Not Support
Measure.
is INTRODUCED BY AsQUITH
Irish Leader Declares Act Is Unnec-
essary to Win the War-AlI Men
of Military Age Will Not Be
Drafted, Says Premier.

London, Jan. deposition so vio-
lent as to menace seriously the pas
sage of the newly completed British
CONSUMPTION bill developed . in the
house of commons on Wednesday
when John Redmond declared the
Irish party would not support the gov
ernment's bill for compulsory military
service, even though Premier Asquith
had exempted Ireland in the bill to
win support.
THE bill is unnecessary to win the
war;" said the Irish leader. IF the
party were convinced that the pas
sage of the bill was necessary to end
the war, their attitude would be en-
tirely different, but nothing has yet
been said which would change my hos
tility to CONSUMPTION
Other members of the cabinet
share my views on the CONSUMPTION
question: said Sir John Simon in ex-
planning his opposition to the bill.
Compulsory service can only come
with general consent of the people of
1ISdC DIlIdlu. ndt, VI COu1 DC, 10 ILL
possible.
Nearly 100000 men have enlisted
voluntarily Nearly 100000 enlisted
before the Derby scheme was pro-
posed. Three million have enlisted
since that time. 1t is plain, therefore,
that the governments bill is unneces-
sary."
Premier Asquith introduced the bill
for CONSUMPTION of certain classes of
unmarried men.
In offering the bill the prime minis
ter declared that the government does
not plan to draft into service at this
time all men of military age.
Under the terms of the bill all
males between the ages of eighteen
and forty-one who are bachelors or
widowers without children dependent
on them are liable for military serv-
ice.
Speaking strongly in favor of CON
scription, Earl Kitchener, secretary
for war, insisted before the house OF
lords that the proposed measure
should not be considered menace to
the continuation of the voluntary sys
tenn in the future.
Before the CONSUMPTION fight devei
oped the house passed bill designed
to facilitate the output OF munitions

Of the Persia was made at the White
House on Tuesday after President
Wilson'S arrival from Hot Springs, Va
Secretary Tumulty issued this state

In the absence of detailed and spe-

next step. President Wilson Cancelled
the cabinet meeting which was to have
been haId. but conferred with Chair
man Stone and some members of the
senate foreign relations committee.
For the first time since foreign rela-
tons became delicate during the war
President Wilson conferred with the
leaders of the congressional commit
tees which deal with the subject. This
action met the appreciation Of many
senator's and representatives, who
have been contending that in such a
serious situation as the present prom

Chairman Stone told the president
there we're intimations that several
senator's were preparing to make
speeches on the sinking of ships with
loss of American life. The president
Is understood to have simply replied
that the administration was doing all
it could to protect American rights.
The administration is depending
largely on the inquiries which Ambas-

make at Vienna and that which con-
Suls are gathering elsewhere, to estab-
lish the nationality of the submarine

Senator Stone said after his talk
with the president that until the facts
regarding the Persia were obtained
nothing could be done. Any nation, he
declared, which outraged the United
States should be dealt with severely.
Later Chairman Flood of the house
foreign affairs committee called at the
White House and conferred with Pres,
ident Wilson on the situation.
White House officials said both the
senate and the house would be kept
informed of all important develop.
ments in the foreign situation, prob.
ably through conferences between the
President and senate and house lead
ers, although if any drastic action is
taken it is possible that the president
may send a message to congress.

BITTER COLD HAMPERS FIRE DE-
PARTMENT IN EFFORT TO
CHECK BLAZE.
BUILDING is VALUED $40, 900
Flames Shoot Into Air Following an
Explosion, and Building and
Contents are Totally
Destroyed.

Amigo. - Following an explosion
heard all over this city, fire broke out
in the high school here and destroyed
the building. The fire department was
hindered in its work by the cold. The
thermometer registered % degrees be-
low zero.
The building, which was valued at
$4,000, exclusive of books and equip
ment, was fire trap, according to I'M
derwriters. They said that it would
have been impossible for all pupils to
escape had the blaze occurred in the
daytime About 625 high school and
grade students attended classes in the
building.
Insurance on the structure amount
ed to $4,000 and $1,000 on equipment
Not an article was saved Records of
pupils, prizes and class requests were
lost.
A strong wind carried flaming shin
giles many blocks and it was with diff
ficulty that the fire was kept from
spreading. The home of former Con-
gresham E. A. Morse caught fire, but
the blaze was extinguished before it
did much damage. Ice and snow on
the roofs of buildings prevented the
spread of the fire.
Three congregations have offered
the use of their churches and base
ments to the school board to be used
for classes. Other rooms are available
in the city hall and courthouse.
The construction of new building
will be a serious problem as the city
is now bonded almost to the limit.
