SRdREurs Reported Captured
LONDON, Jan. t3.-The news from the
eastern front of the capture Of sadagura
is regarded in military circles as prob
ably true, although official announcement
on the subject has not been received
The town, just northwest OF Czernowitz
is converging point for five good roads.
and is Of great strategic Importance Prior
attempts to capture it have been stoutly
resisted
The report from Petrograd that the Of
fensive in Galcia and Bessarabia has
been suspended for the present is re
garded as at least premature. The Rus.
sian offensive could not. It is believed be
suspended suddenly, as It was undertaken
after careful preparations and launched
with unexpected strength. The object
of that offensive is said to be threefold:
To demonstrate to the Rumanians that
the Russian forces are able to assume the
initiative when they choose; secondly, to
divert Austro-German forces from the
Balkans. the western front and, finally,
to improve the general strategic position
of their own left flank.
When the full effect Of this Russian Of
fenseive canno yet be determined, entente
military experts affirm that the Second
object was attained; that the situation in
the Balkans was sensibly relieved and
that the operations undertaken by the
Germans against the French in Cham
pagne was robbed OF its force.
Allies Occupy Corfu.
waving over the place on the Island OF
Corfu, which belonged TO the German
emperor, and that the occupation of the
Greek island by the entente is considered
as complete, has, 1t is reported already
evoked protest from the Greek govern
ment. II is said that the protest iS
largely formal, and that the allies have
given Greece guarantees regarding their
intentions. Greece, Il is understood, takes
a sympathetic view OF the entente action,
as it is for the purpose OF preventing tho
Serbian army from risklng the danger of
starvation.
German Advance Fails.
The German offensive I'm Champagne
which reached its elimination Sunday Is
insistently reported from French head
quarters as having been undertaken on
an important scale and with u definite

SUNDAY METHODS
FAIL TO ENTHUSE
DR.. Rouse's Plan to Put New Life
Into Church After Sunday Re-
vival Falls Flat.
ASSISTANT PASTOR ALSO QUITS

Complete collapse of Rev. Freder-
ick I. Rouse's plans to boom the
First Congregational church along
the lines laid down by Billy" Sun
day in his recent Omaha campaign is
marked by Rev. DR.. Rouse's resigna-
ton
Porter of the Sunday evangel and a
member of the executive committee
in charge of the campaign. Follow
ing the departure of the Sunday
party Mr.. Rouse tried to infuse new
life into his congregation by using
Sundayesque methods, my name
has been Rouse; henceforth it shall
be Won Hindenburg. he declared.
The trail hitters were gathered in. At
the reception each trail hitter stood
asping hands with previous member
and thus It was hoped the fellowship had
been cemented
The church was crowded for two sun
days Then came the reaction. The ex-
citement died down. The congregation
dwindled and it has Continued to dwin-
die in spite of militant evangelistic meth
DDS, in spite of an assistant pastor. i'm
spite of neighborhood canvasses, in spite
OF new organizations for prosecuting the
congregations activities
Work All in vain.
Immediately after the Sunday campaign
the city was divided by the church into
districts for a large radius around the
church and these districts were canvassed
by some of the workers Handbills were
distributed urging the people to come TO
church. All in vain.
There has been opposition to DR.. Rouse
on the part of some of the church 5
members for long time. Even from the
time that he was called, eight years
ago, It was admitted that he wasn't alb
solutely orthodox. And his attitude to-
ward dancing and card playing has al
ways been friendly.
The First Congregational church is ad-
mittedly a hard field because OF the fact
its membership is scattered. Less than
10 per cent live within walking distance
of the church at Nineteenth and Daven-
port streets. Many members have Joined
the general exodus i'm recent years to tle
western part OF the city. This is largely
responsible for the poor attendance. Many
on the church rolls have lost interest be-
cause of their distance from the church
and have ceased to attend or to con-
tribute.
The assistant pastor, d. r. Cleveland,
has also resigned lie had been en-
ployed only about six months and was
paid by the mems class OF the church.
His contract expires January 22, so that
his resignation merely marks the close of
his contract.
The possibility of this church and the
st. Mary's Avenue Congregational church
uniting and building a fine church in the
western part Of the city is a very likely
development. HhIs would be merely fol-
lowing the example of other congrega-
tions, such as the First Presbyterian and
Kountzo Memorial Lutheran.
A church edifice located nearer the rts,-
dences of the members would be sure 10
stimulate the attendance.

WHISPER ARGUMENTS TO JUDGE
Prosecution Completes Its Evidence
Identifying Hauser as
Murderer.
TESTIMONY FOR DEFENSE TODAY

Judge James P. English, presiding
at the trial of Arthur Hauser in dis
trict court ruled late yesterday that
no evidence of alleged crimes other
than the murder of w. IL. Smith,
with which the bandit is charged,
was admissible and the case OF the
prosecution came to an abrupt close
The prosecution rested at $3.50
/ O'Clock Immediately after Steve
Maloney, captain of detectives, had
told of bringing the defendant from
Wichita, an.
KAttorneys for the defense de
clared their witnesses were not
ready TO testify because they had
not expected the state to rest so
soon and their request for a recess
until $3.50 this morning was granted
by the court.
A revolver with which. the state
alleged, Hauser killed Mr.. Smith
was offered in evidence, but was
ruled out.
County Attorney Magney offered to in
troduce evidence Of a series of crimes
similar in plot and execution to the
Smith holdup and murder for the pur-
pose OF assisting in identifying Hauser
as the slayer of the late woodmen OF the

similar crimes for purposes of identifi-

was ready to cite contrary rulings Judge
English declined to hear arguments and
ruled out the evidence.
1t is settled rule of rule that evidence
of other crimes may not be introduced
to prejudice the defendant and 1t was
upon this theory that the court made its
decision. Had the evidence been admitted
the state was prepared to put on the
witness stand numerous victims OF al
legged crimes by Hauser to show that he
usually attacked a man and woman to-

victims would have identified Hauser as

This was the encouraging word

bureau.
After the coldest night that has
heen felt in Omaha and Nebraska, a
night that caused great suffering
among the poor, that even froze up
the gas in the pipes, the backbone of
the cold spell is broken and there is
a prospect Of returning to something
<like normal temperature.
The accent, however, is on the

Still, the termometer began climb

Out west and up north the cold had
abated considerably. Yesterday Chey-

not very far below Cheyenne, was

In western Canada the temperature
rose ten degrees, from IS below TO As be-
low zero.
Clear sky greeted Omaha shortly before
sundown Wednesday and the sun shone
today encouragingly. The wind died down
during the night, making it more possible
TO be out without freezing extremities.
So great was the cold that 1t froze the
gas in several restaurants and the cook
ing apparatus was out of commission
o such an extent that the MONDAY meal
was considerably curtailed until the pipes
we're thawed out.
Moves to lows.
The blizzard that swept Nebraska We'd

In Iowa and Illinois there was much
greater snowfall than through Nebraska.
The wind is said to be blowing at the

Ing to Americans in Mexico to lear,
any districts where there is revolution

steps taken by the Carranza govern
ment on the American Representations

dence OF the punishment OF the bandits

hue and upon that evidence would de-
pend the action OF the United States.

today formally assured Secretary Lans-
ing that the CarranEa soyernment

| milton of General Carranza and declared
