The Austrians have made determined counter attacks along the middle Stripa and nor theast of the town of Czernowitz and, ac- cording to the Russian official commit nication. they were beaten back with enormous losses while the Russians have made distinct gains. occupying several Austrian positions and taking more than 1900 prisoners in all.

 SIX-BIT PIECE
LRcpublican A. p. Leased wirel

SAN DIEGO, Jan. S.-According to announcement made today by Presi- dent G. A. Davidson of the Panama California International Exposition, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoO is considering plans for the coining of silver six bit (seventy-five cenD pieces in commemoration of the expo siti0n.
 It is proposed that the coin be octa a- gonal in shape. the same as was the "1S4s slug of early California days.
 "The plan provides for the pieces to be legal tender as well as to serve as exposition souvenirs said President Davidson. The request for the issue is now before the treasury department and if granted it will be the first time that an exposition has adopted a United States coin of a value other than those in daily use. Having a legal tender value of six bits the coin will be symbolical of California"
 The issue of this special coin was first proposed by C D. w. Spencer of Oakland.

 President Wilson is being urged by some of his close advisors to ask the Germanic allies for definite as surances that no unarmed ships with Americans aboard shall be destroyed by any of them until the passengers have reached a place of safety. The president is said to look with good favor upon such a proposal. but has reached no decision. In any case he propably will take no steps in that direction until details of pending ne- gotiations with these countries have been cleared up.

 The length of time that had been taken in the deliberations led some of the attorneys to conjecture that the jury had found against the de- fendants on the question whether a conspiracy existed in 1890. the date of the enactment of the Sherman law. This was the fundamental question which Judge Hunt told the jury in his charge must first be settled.
 In that event. it was suggested that the jurors might be deliberating on the question as to whether the conspiracy was continuous to the date of the indictment and were
 taking up each phase of the case in
 this connection. covering the entire 25 years of the history of the all
 legged conspiracy
 Judge Hunts plan in the event a verdict was not reached was to send the jury to an uptown hotel
 and have them resume deliberations at IO CLOCK tomorrow morning. IT
 was said on good authority that the court in the hope that verdict might be eventually reached. would 1 keep them out a number of days if necessary. Having failed to reach a quick decision. it was pointed out that the many and complicated
