GREAT ONSLAUGHT CAME so
SUDDENLY THAT ENEMY WAS
FORCED TO RETREAT WITH
GREAT LOSS
(By Associated Press

Paris, Feb. 2S.-lmpetuous coun-
ter attacks by the French, north Of
verdun, are considered as inaugur-
ating the second phase of the great
action under conditions most favor
able to the defenders. Reports from
the front say that the Germans have
been thrown back from many posi-
tions conquered by them during the
first four days Of battle.
Caught between two lines Of
fire." says M. BRAND, covered with
shrapnel from all sides, attacked by
four fresh divisions surging upon the
field of battle at an unexpected mo-
ment, the Germans saw their efforts
stopped short in the titanic struggle.
Our troops went into action frantic
ally, and the light and heavy artil-
lery dug sanguinary burrows in the
compact ranks of the Germans.
Finally exhausted, with their ranks
decimated, the German armies re-
coiled under the furious counter at
tacks; we regained the advantage
and installed upon formidable posi-
tions, our soldiers remained masters
of the battlefield.

In the meantime the production of

AS England formerly sent the raw

finished product, so now she is send

of the State, and during the period
of the war it is open, practically
without charge, to Russian officers
quartered elsewhere than in Petro-
grad, and to their wives and fam
lilies
The huge reception rooms are dec
Grated with oil paintings and fine
engravings presented by various
regiments, and many Of them by the
emperor himself On the floors above
are $50 bed rooms, ranging in price
from 30 cents to $3.50 per day For
he lowest price one is provided with
a capital bed room, electric light and
hot and cold water For the maxi
mum figure an officer or his family
can have a sitting room. double bed
room and bath room.
A four course table d'hote costs
40 cents, which is remarkably cheap
, considering the high prices which at

has been so popular that there are
at least twelve applicants for each

BOYS, TOO YOUNG TO f|GHl, ARE
(By Associated Press.

Woolwich, England, Feb. 2S.-
Ten thousand boys too young to fight
are doing what they consider the
next best service for their country
turning out munitions in the gov
ernment arsenal here. In ordinary
times many would have become Of
fee boys, clerks, or telegraph mes
sengors, but today the majority come
from points miles from the factory
and help the olde. men make the
shells and guns needed by the men
at the front.
The pay is attractive. smart
boy can earn $3.50 a week, or even
$40 if he has good machine and
can keep steadily at work for as
long as ! 2 hours day. Parents who
have to choose between putting their
boys to learn trade at So or $3.50
week and allowing them to go
into the arsenal at the higher re-
muneration, are naturally inclined
to decide on the work which not only
brings in the quickest return, but
seems to be in the national interests
as well.
Social workers who have the boys
welfare at heart are inclined to la
ment that so many should be enter
ing what may not perhaps prove a
permanent occupation. They say that
their future is not unlikely to be-
come problem after the war and
that the country might well remem-
ber then that the great army Of boy
munition workers played no small
part In the difficult time.
The daily life of these boys shows
what sacrifices they are making.
Thousands live an hours journey
from the factory, and some have to
leave home as early as 6:30 in the
morning and cannot get back until

hours day starting at s and fin

shift too, also for 2 hours, and Of
ten a boy may be seen asleep from
sheer exhaustion on his way home

Every effort is made by the min
istry of munitions to safeguard the
health of the youngsters, but the
problem is a difficult one. Eight
hour shifts are being urged and ef
forts are being made to improve the
transportation facilities to and from
| the arsenal One of the latest sug-
gestions and the one most likely to
be carried out is to build miles of
huts close to the arsenal where the
boys could live while engaged in

Mr.. Lloyd George writes in the
preface:
"The Photographic records and
written descriptions of what Is actu-
ally being done by women in NUM-

performed solely by skilled men,
will, ! believe, act as an incentive
and guide in many factories where

CONGESTION OF WAR
SUPPLIES AT VLADIVOSTOK


Vladi, ostok. Feb. 2S. Conges
tion OF war supplies at Vladivostok
continues to grow worse At present
there are twcnty-eight steamers in
the harbor or waiting in the bay to
enter the harbor. Pier facilities are
lacking to accommodate these steam
crs The thermometer REGISTERED 20
degrees below zero, and the extreme
temperature and ice are adding to
the confusion. The cranes on the
piers are not heavy enough to lift
locomotives and other heavy weights,
and consequently lighters must be
utilized for this purpose. AS there
are only sufficient lighters to unload
four steamers, the handling of loco
motives is greatly delayed
Four hundred and fifty American
locomotives were sold to Russia for
use in speeding up war supplies, and
so far less than fifty of these have
been unloaded at Vladivostok. Amer
lean manufacturers are also brought
from Japan to handle the war sup
plies but II Is almost impossible to
move these in the ice. and they are
an old type not well adapted to the
present work.
Because of delay. the demurrage
charges are piling up against the
freight The shores of the harbor
are blocked with cargo. and it seems
impossible to get cars to move this
out The government says it has
three thousand cars at Lake Baikal,
but these are not coming with any
regularity to Vladivostok and the
| situation seems to grow more con-
fusing every day.
Barbed wire, cotton and rails make
up great part of the cargo which is
now reaching here. Various depart
ments which are handling the cargo
insist on different sorts of supplies
being taken to different piers. The
result is that some ships unload less
than 100 tons day and in many
cases the demurrage charges against
one ship reach $500 day.

LIFE IN THE FORBIDDEN CITY

Peking, Feb. 2S.-Yuan Shikai is
very fond of moving pictures, and
he and all the members of his family
attend a performance in the theater
in the Forbidden City every week.
when the films brought to the lead
ing picture theater in Peking are
shown for the entertainment of the
Yuan household.
Recently Yuan Shi-kai. together
with thousands of other interested
cinema patrons in Peking has suf-
fered a great disappointment A
mystery film to run for twelve weeks
completed six instalments of the
story, but the seventh instalment got
lost somewhere in Sweden on it's way
over from London, and Peking is
anxiously awaiting the unraveling
of the plot. The young heroine of
the film drama was seized by ban
dts when Peking last saw her, and
residents of both the Forbidden City
and the outer city are anxious to
know more of her fate.
Life in the Forbidden City affords
few diversions especially since there
have been some evidences of disloy-
atty among trusted employees. Con-
seuuently, Yuan Shi-kai and his
family enjoy little liberty.
The president takes his exercise
chiefly in drilling a section of the
modern army in the Forbidden City.
while several of his sons play foot
ball and skate on the frozen lakes
within the great walls enclosing the
palace grounds.
Skating is also affording recrea-
tion for legation staffs and legation
guards in Peking which has been
more or less isolated as a result of
the bitter feeling growing out of the
European war. Practically all of the
legations have their own temporary
skating rinks built in their COM
pounds. These rinks are covered
with bamboo mating to protect the
ice from the sun and dust
The American legation rink is
practically the only rink in Peking
where visitors of all European pow
ers are entertained However. the
Legation officers have set apart Ger.
tain DAYS for the entertainment Of
visitors belonging to the entente
powers, and different days for Ger.
man and Austrian guests.

followers are of the opinion that the
coming season will see an increase

Jockey Clubs request for further ia
cilities for the 1916 season has not
yet been acted on, but the feeling is
strong that the government will not
put any obstacles in the way of some
bright turf sport. If Austria could
have a season during the past year,
argue the sporting men, then surely
England ought to keep up its tradi-
tional sport. They further advance
the argument of the service of the
track in breeding thoroughbreds.
