RUSS SHELL FOE
WITH 400 GUNS
Slsvs lombard the Defenses Before
Czernowitz from Nearly Half
a Thousand Cannon.
PAVE WAY FOR THE INFANTRY

LONDON, Jan. Some idea OF
the determined nature of the Rus
slams blow on the Bcssarabian front
is conveyed by Petrograd dispatches
today, which state that the Russians
for fifty hours concentrated 400
guns on the Austrians' positions at
Czernowitz. as a preparation for in
fantry attacks.
The Russian communications do
not yet claim that Czernowitz has
fallen, but dispatches from German
sources admit the Teutonic position
there is critical.
II is not yet clear whether the
Russian operation in this theater
herald a big general offensive move
ment of all the Russian armies from
the Baltic to the Roumanian border
or merely indicate a diversion of un-
parallelled magnitude and fierceness
designed to weaken the pressure of
the central powers IN the Balkans
and incidentally on the Italian front
Fighting ~ Bitter.
The fighting has been OF the most bitter
character according to both the Austrian
and Russian reports. Few prisoners are
being taken and the infantry engagements
are largely in the nature OF hand-to-hand
encounters.
All OF the Russian operations thus far
revealed are being pressed along the rail
way lines, which simplify the problems
Of the winter supply OF food, ammunition
and fuel.
The situation along the other fronts
are comparatively quiet.

as between Great Britain and Germany,
for the disturbance OF neutral trade on
the seas, was the subject of another
spirited debate In the senate today dur
ing consideration OF Senator Walshs
resolution to investigate the freight en-
barge at eastern ports
When Senator Newands was stating
that the tieing up of German ships was
partly responsible. Senator y German in
quired II he considered in that connec-
ton that 200 neutral vessels had been
taken from commerce because of British
orders In council, rightly designated by
the State department to be In violation
OF all international law.
1T is not true that the trade has been
deprived of 200 neutral vessels" declared
senator Nelson. Many neutral ships
may have been taken into port by Great
Britain, but only for temporary deltv
during search for contraband. what has
taken freight ships Off tn ocean are Ger
man submarines that have been blowing
up freighters."
Senator O'Gorman insisted he had not
said the 900 Vessels had been held up
continuously, hat some so taken had been
held up for months. Debate on the Walsh
resolution ysEs not concluded and will DC
resumed tomorrow.

Fox is, and the pity of it is, the needs of our
country people are scarcely touched on, below
the surface.
We all know Of earnest young men and
women who do the best they can with what
material they have, and we know, too, how
sorry and how small that material is. We
can call to mind now the efforts of one little
school nam, scarcely out of the school age
herself, whose efforts to provide seats and
desks for her charges have run the gamut
from ''oyster suppers" and fish fries" to all
the other makeshifts to induce people to do
for the children she is working with, what
the county should have done.
If the club women would shear themselves
of three-fourths the theoretical nonsense they
have burdened their clubs with; if they would
get down to the common-sense basis of putting
themselves and their children in the places

write platitudes around, they would see much
to emulate in the work of Miss Fox, of
Cowbell Hollow, kentucky.
"Washington cools off after thought on

ones coat-tails, yet.

platform of any style-political or archi-
tectural, is only meant as an entrace, and any
pledge made thereon is simply step, and to
be classed as "a scrap of paper" once the
entrance is effected. So why worry about the
one-t term plank in Mr.. Wilson's platform?
When newspaper editor says the "short
term of office" is what is to blame for the
present political ills, and you read in the same
issue of his paper that he is a candidate for
office, you realize why he is interested in
having the terms heightened.
Too bad Villa was not caught and locked
up as soon as ''peace" was declared in Mexico;
as it is, it would seem a piece of rope would
be the only solution, with an American hold
ing the other end.
After looking at their newspaper photo
graphs, it isn't any wonder some of the
political candidates really think they have all
the virtues they pay the papers to print, with
the photographs.
Another "mysterious" explosion, this time
