OLD POTTERY KILN AT
STE. GENEVIEVE UNEARTHED

An interesting historical discovery
was reported today by DR.. II. M.
Whelpley, chairman of the Archeolog-
ical Committee Of The Missouri His
torical Society, who went to Ste. Cen
evieve, Mo, Saturday to explore an
old kiln that had been uncovered in
the side Of hill in the town. Inside
the kiln We're found many pieces of
pottery, much like the Indians made,
but evidently the work of early white
settlers, DR., Whelpley said.
The kiln also apparently had been
constructed by white men. 1t was
shaped like a bee hive and was about
four feet in diameter. 1t was made
of brick clay, which is found in the
vicinity, but the clay had not been
shaped into bricks. The kiln was dis
covered by Joseph H. Worst Of Ste
Genevieve who was excavating for an
addition to his residence. 1t had been
covered over by about three feet of
earth. DR.. Whelpley said Worst in
tends to erect a shelter over the kiln
and preserve it.

GERMAN SPY IS
FOUND WITHIN
FRENCH LINES
Had Resided Within En-

Gets 5-Year Sentence
d AssocTATEp PREss

Paris, Jan. 1S.-Max Reissner, a
German, was sentenced by court
martial in Paris yesterday to five
years in prison and pay fine of 5000
francs. The charge was that he re-
sided within the enternched camp of
Paris under a false name.
According to the evidence, Reissner
went to the American consulate at
the time of the outbreak of the war
and by false declarations, obtained
a certificate of American nationality
in the name of George Stoddart. On
the strength of this certificate, the
police issued residential permit last
August.
Reissner is said to have confessed
his deception to the American con-
sui general, whom he asked for finan-
cial assistance. The consul general
reported the case to the French au-
thorities.

that he plans to confer again with the

New York, Jan. 18.-The liner
Tuscania, arrived today with large
amount of bullion and American Sc
curities estimated by passengers to be
worth several million dollars. Great
precaution was taken to prevent the
steamship being torpedoed after sail
ing from Liverpool, and the vessel
passed north Of Ireland.
Some of the passengers said that
when they left London for Liverpool
on the night Of January 6, they heard
rumors that fleet Of Zeppelins had
been sighted from the British coast.
This rumor, however, could not be
confirmed.
Miss Sybil Eden, an English woman
who has been serving with the Red
Cross in Serbia, said she understood
a call was soon to be issued urging the
two hundred thousand more Serbians
in this country to join the new Serb
army. Miss Eden was at Belgrade
when the retreat began.

and children dying by the wayside,

blocks of stucco which were shipped

Then one Of the blocks was broken

interior was filed with rifles.
The authorities thereupon examined

Teutons Are Holding All
Positions Along the
8O-Mile Front
RUSSIANS PUSHING
UP REINFORCEMENTS
Russians Surprised Germans
During Snowstorm South
east of Riga
~ Assoc1ArFp PRESS.

! London, Jan. 18.-The Russian Of
fensive launched against the Austro-
Hungarians in East Galicia and
along the Bessarabian frontier ended
January Is, says the Austro-H unga-
rian war office, with the Teutons hold
ing all their lines on the eighty-mile
front and with an estimated Russian
loss of seventy thousand killed and
wounded and six thousand captured.
That this ends only one phase OF
the offensive, however, is indicated by
the Austrian statement that Russian
reinforcements are being thrown into
East Galicia. Austrians say the big
drive was undertaken to lessen the
strain on the allies in the Balkans and
influence Roumania.
Unofficial advices from Kiev say the
Germans are evacuating Lutsk, one
of the triangle of fortresses in Vol
hynia. To the southeast of Riga and
south of Widsy the Russians, during
a snow storm, surprised and de-
stroyed the German posts.
Greece again is the center Of in
terest. Teutonic reports say the al
lies ordered Greece to hand passports
to the representatives of the central
powers and that the Anglo French
troops have landed at Corinth, forty
eight miles west of Athens. Should
the latter report prove true, the allies
would have a line of bases almost
surrounding Greece; at Saloniki, on
the east, Corinth on the south and
Corfu on the west. Teutonic reports
also speculate on the possible Anglo
French intent to overthrow Greek
king.
With Montenegro's capitu1ation to
Austro-Hungary hostilities have
ceased in the Balkans, although an
Athens dispatch says twenty-five
French aeroplanes dropped bombs on
the Bulgarian position northeast of
Saloniki, killing several hundred sol
diers and wounding many more.
The British and French continue
their artillery duels with the Ger
mans and both declare the German
position in France have been badly
damaged by their shells. The usual
artillery engagements continue on the
Austro-Italian front.
Violent snowstorms in the Caucasus
have not stopped the Russian often
sive and Constantinople announce the
Turks are battling hard against su-
perior forces of Russians. Petrograd
claims successes with the capture of
two hundred prisoners and much war
material.
There was nothing additional today
from Mesopotamia, where the British,
according to last accounts were forg-
ing ahead to relieve the British be-
sieged at Kut Ell Amara.
