THREE REGIMENTS TO
 HANDLE THE SITUA TTON

Troops in Cleveland, Alliance, Akron, Bucyrus and this city were held in readiness tonight to take charge of the steel mill strike situation here.
 Riots late this afternoon in which two men, John Baker and Stephen Gardner, were injured so seriously they were taken to a hospital led to the request being made by Governor Willis that Ohio national guard reg iments in Youngstown and nearby cit ies be held in readiness for trouble
 Announcements by the Republic Steel and Iron Company, the Youngs- town Sheet and Tube Company, the .Brier Hill Steel Company and the Youngstown Iron and Steel Company that they would grant a wage increase from 19 1-2 cents to ? cents per hour failed to bring peace. The 5000 laborers on strike demand 25 cents per hour.
 Sheriff J. c. Umstead's telegraphic request to Governor Willis for troops read as follows:
 Please send National Guard to vil- Iage of East Youngstown at once. Lives are being taken and many DOT tions of East Youngstown are being burned. We are helpless to cope with the situation

ATTACK IN GERMAN AMERICANS

are German-American centers, de- nounced his statements as unwar- ranted and particularly improper at this time Representative Cooper of Wisconsin joined in the criticism, but he had just time to declare that Mir Gardner's speech might be expected in the British parliament when a point of order cut short the discussion
 Later Mr stafford apologized for what had been construed as a reflec- ton on MT. Gardner's Spanish war service. after Representative Moore of Pennsylvania had produced the of ficial record showing that the Massa- chusetts representative had been pro noted for bravery. Mr Gardner had left the house after speaking.
 No democrats joined in the argu- ment. but they divided their applause between MT. Gardner and his critics.
 Who here asked Mir. Stafford, when he took the floor lin whose veins flows any Teutonic blood. but that sympathizes with the fatherland But mere sympathy for the father land does not conflict with the loyalty to the stars and stripes. If Ger many or Austria Hungary should at tempt by any deliberate act to invade our rights, I am sure those German Americans who in times past have shown their loyalty, would do so again. Not, however, as some of the noble volunteers from effete New Eng land in the Spanish American war did when they enlisted for that little war yes that disreputable little war against a little and crumbling coun- try, when after they enlisted they had their mothers go and beg Governor Wolcott of Massachusetts not to send them to the front
 Mir Longworth termed MT. Gard ner's address, reckless and intemper- ate" and spoke of the munitions charge as a wholly and absolutely false imputatfon.

RUSSIANS ARE
 FIGHTING HARD
 AT CzERNOW|Tz
TRepubIican A. p. Leased wire1

LONDON, Jan. Some idea of the determined nature of the Russian blow on the Bessarabia front is conveyed by PetroErad dispatches today which state that the Russians for fifty hours concentrated 400 guns on the Aus trians' positions at CZernowitz as a preparation for infantry attack. The Russian communications do not yet claim that Czernowitz has fallen, but dispatches from German sources ad- init the Teutonic position there is critical.
 It is not yet clear whether the Rus sian operations in this theater herald a big general offensive movement of all the Russian armies from the Baltic to the Rumanian border or merely d diversion of unparalied magnitude and fierceness, designed to weaken the pressure of the central powers in the Balkans and incidentally on the Italian front. 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 encouu- ters
 All of the Russian operations thus far revealed are being pressed along the railway lines, which simplify the problems of the winter supply of food. ammunition and fuel.
 The situation along the other fronts is comparatively quiet
 The loss of a British submarine by mischanCe of navigation off the Dutch coast makes total of eleven British submarines lost since the be- ginning of the war.
 majority of these. however, have been of the smaller type
 An echo of General Sir Ian HamiI- tons review of the Dardauelles opera tions is found in a report published to- day that General Sir Frederick Stop ford. who was recalled on account of his conduct in the Suvla bay opera - tions, has demanded an inquiry by the war office into the whole circum- stances of the landing of troops in the Dardanelles.
 In connection with the submarine activity in the Mediterranean sea. an Athens dispatch notes that alarm is felt there owing to the fact that none of the nine ships laden with grain pur- chased in America either has arrived or been signalled
