Russian Offensive in GaIicia is
Probably Not Suspended
as Reported.
SECOND OBJECT ATTAINED
Entente Military Experts Are
Trying to Reason Out
Some Suppositions.

LONDON. Jan. l3.--The news from
the eastern front Of the capture of
Sadagura ia regarded in military cir
cles as probably true, although official
announcement on the subject has not
been received. The town, which lies
a few miles northeast of Czernowitz
and is a convcrging point for five good
roads, is of considerable strategic inn
portance and previous attempts to
capture II have beon stoutly resisted.
Experts say Sadagura ls really of
more Importance than C2ernowit2, on
account Of its stronger natural posi-
tions and facilities for communication
purposes.
The report from Petrograd that the
offensive In Galicia and Bossarabia had
been suspended for the present IS re-
garded rs at least premature. The
Russian offensive could not, II Is be-
lieved, be suspended suddenly as II
was undertaken after careful prep
aration and launched with unexpected
strength. The object OF that offensive
is said to be threefold: to demonstrate
to the Roumanians that. the Russian
forces are able to assume the offensive
when they choose; secondly to divert
Austro-German forces from the Bal
kan and western fronts and finally to
improve the general strategic position
of their own left flank
While the full effect Of this Russian
offensive cannot yet be determined.
Entente military experts affirm that
the second object was attained, that
the situation In the Balkans was re-
lieved, and that the operations under
taken by the Germans against the
French In Champagne was robbed OF
Its force.
The fact that the French flag is
now waving over the palace on the
island of Corfu, which belonged to
1.-THE German Emperor. and that the
occupation OF the Greek island by the
Entente Is considered as complete,
has, II ID reported already evoked q
lpfutest from the Creek government.
lit Il said that the protest Is largely
formal and that the Allies have
given Greece guarantees regarding
their intention. Greece, 1t Is under
stood, takes a sympathetic view Of
the Entente action as 1t is for the
purpose OF preventing the Serbian
army from risking the danger OF star
walton.
The German offensive in Cham
pagne, which reached Its elimination
Sunday. is reported from French
headquarters as having been under.
taken on an important scale and
with a definite purpose. The failure
is said to have been complete, ana
the strong German forces, which ware
employed, suffered terrible losses;
The Austrian forces are steadily
developing their campaign in Monte
negro and military experts believe
the fall OF Cettinje, the capital OF
Montenegro, is possible in the near
future.

Said to Be among the

current in Chihuahua that ten
American men and two English
women had been killed by Villa
troops at MADEIRA. Chihuahua, ac-
cording to Americans who arrived
here early today with the bodies OF
the eighteen Americans who were
killed Monday.
The report, however, could not be
confirmed. One Of the women re-
ported killed was said to be the wife
Of Captain Jack Lestbridge, retired
British army officer, who, with an
English woman companion, a Mrs.

cora ranch, the Hearst property

leans killed Monday by Mexican ban
dts near Santa Ysabel, western Chi
huahua, reached Ell Paso early today
and were taken in charge by under
takers, preparatory to sending them
to relatives in various parts of the
country.
The body OF Joseph Enders, re-
ported to have been killed. was not
among those arriving today.
F.. L. Stevenson, secretary OF the
Mining and Shelters Men Associa-
ton, of Chihuahua, who organized
the party that recovered the bodies,
said that the heads were almost
blown off.
THE were stripped of clothing
before being dragged out Of the cars
and killed." said Stevenson. When
we, arrived at the scene of the massa-
ere Carranza guard remained at
Santa Yasabel, where we found a
number Of the bandidts encamped.
We returned to the troop train to get
a machine gun and then proceeded to
the place where the bodies were
heaped."
An expedition which left Chihuahua
City to, recover the bodies OF the nine
teen slain Americans were informed
by the station agent at Santa Ysabel
that Benjamin Smell and Frank Woods
passed there bound west half an hour
after the Watson train was reported
in trouble. The station agent said he
warned the two men to return but they
said they feared no trouble. Nothing
later was heard Of the party and 1t is
believed that they met the fate Of the
Watson train.
Mexican officials at Juarez were
unable to confirm the reports that
ten Americans and two English
women had heen murdered at Ma
dera. They said troops were being
despatched to that place.
