PICKED TROOPS
FAIL IN ASSAULTS
upon THE FRENCH
REGIMENTS OF THE GERMAN I'M.
PERlAL GUARDS USED IN
RECENT OFFENSIVE.

Chalons-surMarne France, Jan. IL.
The fact that regiments of the i'm
perial guard were among the 10000
men that attacked the French lines in
Champagne on Sunday indicates how
carefully the Germans selected their
troops for this great assault. A con-
siderable number of prisoners taken
by the French belonged to the famous
guards.
The attack followed one of the heav-
I d. bombardments the Germans have
yet inflicted upon the French posi-
tions. 1t lasted twenty-four hours.
The promptness of the French reply
with concentrated fire from their three
inch guns stopped the first waves of
the attack on the parapets Of the Ger
man trenches. Only at the fourth at
tempt did the Germans, after heavy
losses, get up to the French trenches.
The surprising promptness Of the
French counter attack caught the
Germans before they could organize
the positions they had won. Many
were Obliged to surrender and only a
few got back to their own lines.

Committee of Eighteen Is
Called in Session to
Perfect Organization
CHAIRMAN WILL BE
NAMED AT MEETING
Details of Exposition Will
Be Gone Into and Work
Will Be Started

The men selected as committee
to perfect the organization of the pro-
posed southern Iowa and northern
Missouri fair, were called to meet this
afternoon in the Commercial associa-
tion rooms at $3.50 o'clock.
The committee was named at the
order of the mass meeting held sew
eral days ago when the project for the
big exposition was launched. At that
meeting there was great amount Of
enthusiasm for the proposed fair and
large crowd was present. Out'of
town speakers were ]. F. Deems and
G. Holcombe OF Burlington, both Of
ficers of the Tri-State fair that opened
in the river city last summer.
Largely on the information supplied
by the visitors who related their own
experiences and showed what can be
accomplished by a big fair, the meet
ing decided upon a committee Of eigh-
teen men, nine from Ottumwa and the
balance from outside the city to take
up the organization of the project
These have since been named.
With the organization of the pro-
posed fair completed and once under
way, those who have given the project
most thought believe that one Of the
best moves ever made by Ottumwa
and this community will have been
made. That many feel this way about
the fair was evident at the meeting
held when the proposition was launch
ed. The details of the organization
will be gone into, chairman elected
and work started toward having a
large and attractive fair in Ottumwa If
the plans of the committee do not mis-
carry or the severe weather does not
interfere with the attendance. Sub
committees will also be appointed this
afternoon.
1t has been announced that Oska-
loosa has already secured $4,000 of
the $4,000 that Is to be invested in the
fair to be held in that city.

"If the republican convention Is re-

FARMER IS FOUND
HANGING IN BARN

Bloomfield, Jan. 12.-J. D. Moore
took his own life Tuesday at noon by
hanging at his home ten miles south
Of Bloomfield, to which place he had
moved about year ago from Douds
Leando. The body was found in the
barn by Arthur Mather, a rural mail
carrier, who hunted him at the re-
quest Of Mrs. Moore. The latter had
become alarmed at the absence OF her
husband who frequently threatened to
take his own life lately. The deceased
had been despondent over financial
matters for some time past and the
hanging is thought to be the result of
his brooding. He was 43 years Of age.
Beside the wife, several brothers and
sisters survive.
Funeral arrangements are not def
mite as yet, pending the arrival of re-
latives, but will probably take place
Thursday morning.

DAYS BLAZE cENsURED az
MAYOR CARTER.

IT do not think 1t will be necessary

said Fire Chief Charles Sloan when
interviewed this morning about the
rumored incendiarism. "While the
fires in the rear of the Ottumwa Bug

not look we'll do not think there was
any attempt made to burn the stores
and am positive in my own mind that
the Friedman fire was not caused by a
firebug.
Chief Sloan Is firm in his belief that
the fire at the Friedman store was ac-
cldental and when questioned as to
calling the state fire marshal, he re-
piled, II did not call the state marshal
or any Of his agents and do not in.

An effort was made this morning to
find out if any call had been sent from
Ottumwa to the state fire marshars
office at Des Moines, but there is no
record Of such call.
Mayor Fred Fl. Carter and Fire
Chief Charles Sloan investigated the
fire at the OttNmwa Buggy Co., believ-
ed to have been incendiary. 'T think
the stories being circulated to the ef-
feet that the fires We're caused by

the mayor while the origin of the

anyone would build fire outside of

British Newspapers Taking
Pessimistic View of
Austrian Success
NO SUCCOR GIVEN
BRAVE DEFENDERS
Dominating Point Taken By
Invaders and Allies
Lose an Advantage

London, Jan. IL. - Announcement
OF the occupation Of Mount Lovcen III
Montenegro, although it Is not confirm
ed from entente sources, is generally
accepted here as true. Uneaslness
which Is freely expressed in Italy is
reflected in the English and French
newspapers. The loss of Lovcen, from
the point OF view of the allies, is seri-
GUS owing to the fact that it's summit
dominates Cattaro bay, the Austrian
naval base. Before Italy entered the
war the French had established a
number of guns which could have
swept the bay. Austria, Y seizing It,,
forestalls this danger and is in COM
manding position with regard to Get
TIME, the capital Of Montenegro, which
Is a little over six miles distant.
The Austrian advance, considering
the distance to be covered, was much
slower than that made in the Teuton
conquest of Serbia, but in considera-
tion Of the formidable obstacles which
the mountainous character of the coun.
try presents, it is conceded that the in
vAders are making steady progress.
Another Blunder. e..
The question is being anxiously
raised az to why the entente allies did
not long ago send aid to the Monten.
egrins, and in particular why Italy,
which is more acutely affected by this
Austrian invasion, had not taken pre-
ventive measures. The Austr1ans are
now only ten miles from the capital OF
Montenegro, and a successful blow at
the heart Of the country may have the
effect, it is said by military critics, OF
isolating the troops who are defending
the northeastern frontier.
In Champagne the Germans hold a
slight gain, made as result of the
determined offensive Of last Saturday
and Sunday. The French military
authorities say that the German forces
which delivered the attack lost heavily
as with three divisions, they advanced
in the face of the artillery fire of the
French which took terrible toll.
Germans To Withdraw.
From the eastern front It is report
ed that comparative lull at present
prevails. Special dispatches affirm
that the Russians have been SO sue
cessful in consolidating their new
positions that the Austro- Germans
have begun to remove the supplies
from their bases which they had es-
tablished in preparation for the ad'
vance which thy intended to make In
the coming spring.
