Petro- grad dispatches state that for fifty hours the Russians concentrated four hundred guns on the Austrians' posi- tions at Czernowitz. as a preparation for the infantry's attack. The com munication does not claim that Czern- owitz has fallen.
 German sources admit the Teutonic position is critical It is not clear whether the Russian operations herald a big general offensive from the Bal tic to the Rumanian border or are de signed to weaken the pressure of the Teutons in the Balkans. and incident ally on the Italian front
 The fighting was of the most bitter character. according to Austrian and Russian reports. Few prisoners were taken. The infantry engagements were largely hand to hand encounters The Russian operations are being pressed along the railway lines which simplify the problems of a winter supply of food. ammunition and fuel It is comparatively quiet on other fronts.
 The loss of a British submarine by a mischance of the navigation officer on the Dutch coast makes a total of eleven British submarines lost since the beginning of the war. The majori- ty of these have been of the smaller types.

Last and Most Important Ses- sion of Congress will be Held. Many Feel that Last ing Good Has Resulted.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.--The Pan. American Scientific Congress will end tomorrow with final general session. It will act on the various resolutions, one of the most important of which is that originating in the international law section and prepared by the ex- ecutive committee.
