the terms of Warden Wells, of
the Reformatory, and all the
other officers and guards of the
two prisons will expire Septem-
Der lst, shortly after the new
Board of Prison Commissioners
assume authority.
The question of whether the
prison officers terms of -four
years commenced with the board
created by the 1912 ripper bill,
or whether they held over on ex.
listing terms, was a mooted one,
but, assuming that Warden Wells
was filling out the unexpirec
term of the late Warden E. E.
Mudd, the Board reappointed
him last fall for the term, ending
August 1, 1918.
The bill includes in it's provis.

of Pensions, W. J. Stone, who is

Infantry activities, apparently
on an important scales, are con-
tinuing on the western front in
the sector between Lens and Ar
ras, near the Belgian border and
in that just to the south of the
River Somme with successes at
some points for the Germans and
at others for the French.
German victories are announc-
ed to-day by Berlin in the former
sector, where to the northwest
of Viny the capture of large
trench section is claimed, to-
gether with the retaking of a
mine crater previously lost. The
German War Office admits re-
verse south of the Somma near
Becquincourt, where a foothold
in a small section of the German
first line trenches was secured
by the French.
Paris claims gains in the Lens
Arras sector, announcing that in
handgrenade engagements the
Germans were driven out of COM
municating trenches which they
were occupying. In this region
the Germans were only success
full in securing footing in a
mine crater which the French
had previously taken, according
to the French War Office. 1t is
declared that a strong attack by
the German troops was repuIsed.
Importance is attached in Pet
rograd to the advance movement
by the Russians in Eastern Ga
licia, just north of the Bukowina
boundary, where they report
having effected a crossing of the
Dniester. The Austro- German
positions in the entire district of
Czernowith, capital of Bukowina
will be threatened if this move
ment is continued, according
to opinions of Petrograd military
commentators.

Amsterdam, Feb. Il, (via

possibility of the conclusion of

made by Baron Won Zedlitz,
of the Prussian Diet, accord

The newspaper quotes him as
saying:
LAS regards the discussion of
the German aims in the war, in
view of the whole present war
situation, the conclusion of peace
in the near future is not improb-
able, and therefore the announce
ment of our fundamental aims

WAR SITUATION.

New gains for the Germans in
the region between Lens and Ar
ras, not-far south of the Belgian
border, were announced to-day
by Berlin, which reports the cap
ture of first-line:French positions
along nearly a half-mile front on
the west of Vimy.
The gains were made on the
ground over which the French
advanced in thei allied offensive
Of last September and near the
area northeast of Neuville-St.
Vast, in which the Germans
late in January reported the
storming of 1900 yards of
French positions.
In some quarters the recent
German assaults in this region
are regarded as primarily defen-
sive operations, designed to win
back commanding positions
which would give the Entente
forces an advantage in any for
ward movement they may at
tempt in the future. 1t has been
persistently reported, however,
that the Germans were on the
point of launching a determined
offensive in Northern France

Signs that a military operation
of Importance is impending in

Sofia, which in a leading article
asserts the right of Bulgaria to
invade Greece for an attack on
the French and British there. It
declares that Bulgaria cannon
permit these foes to remain near
her borders and that they must
be driven out.
Recent reports from the Bal
kans regarding the intentions of
the Teutonic allies as to a move
from Southern Serbia and Bull
garia on the Entente forces at
Saloniki, such as the Sofia an
nouncement would seem to indi-
cate, have been contradictory.
Dispatches announcing a notable
concentration of troops and heavy
artillery along the Greek border,
however, have been frequent.
On both Eastern and Western
war fronts the activity during
the last few days has been more
marked than for some time.
Some movement of note may be
developing at the Northern end
of the Russian line, where the
artillery play is reported as heavy
particularly in the neighborhood
of Dvinsk. The Russians pro-

their line there, despite the Ger

are on the aggressive. and at
one point report crossing the

In the West the initiative at

French lines from time to time
and making an occasional gain,
notably near Melville, not far
below the Belgian border and
South of the River Somme.

and more effective cooperation
among the Allies.
