Scarcity of Men and Materials
Will Probably Change Plans
at Steel Plant

Announcemen was made by steel
company officials at Steelton that lack
of men and materials and not the pos
sibility of peace is responsible for a
revision of plans for the development
of the mills of the Bethlehem Steel
Company.
The originally estimated expendi-
ture of S15,000.000 to $20,000,000 will
be made at the Steelton plant. accord
ing to Quincy Bent, general manager
of the local plant.
Mr.. Bent stated last night that "the
reports that possible peace or an
armistice would make big changes in
the plans are without foundation. The
trouble is that the men and materials
cannot be obtained. In these days it
is possible to spend just so much
money and no more. Here at the
Steelton plant. for instance, we are be-
ing quoted prices on apparatus we
need at twelve to sixteen months. 1t
will be impossible to get this before
the expiration of that period.
I'VE may let up somewhat here on
the work contemplated" Mr.. Bent
continued. THAT is. we may put off
some work we would have done this
year until later because of conditions.
but this does not mean that any of the
plans announced for the development
of the Steelton plant will be aban-
doned."

vances recently scored by the Russians
appear to have been maintained in the
face of heavy counter attacks by the
Germans. Twice on successive days
Petrograd has announced the repulse
of heavy assaults by masses of troops.
The operations on the Franco
Belgian front are confined for the
most part to the artillery. Paris has
only activities by this arm of the
service to report to-day.
Hard Fighting I'm Moldavia
To-day's statements from Berlin
and Petrograd report further severe
fighting in the Moldavian mountain
valleys, in which the Rumanians, ac-
cording to the Russian report. pushed
back the Teutonic front in the Kasino
river region. Berlin claims the re-
pulse of strong attacks on German po-
sitions north of the Suchitza valley.
In Macedonia where violent snow
storms have occurred in some sectors
and floods in others, there has been
sporadic fighting chiefly toward the
western end of the line. There has
been particularly violent artillery fire
along the Vardar and within the bend
of the Cerna, toward Monastir, while
the Italians, on their front, repulsed
an attack and took prisoners.

BRITISH PREPARE
FOR GREAT DRIVE


among the officials in the big munition
headquarters just off Whitehall, as
well as willingness to give out com
parative figures" to justify that
OPTIMISM
The improvement in our position
may be illustrated in this way" re-
marked an official of the ministry.
I'VE are now manufacturing every
week three times as many 155 milli-
meter shells, five times as many 200
milimeter shells, and three times as
many 230 millimeter shells as we
manufactured during tie whole first
year of the war.
''Of smaller shells we are turning
out in about a week the same quantity
as was produced during the first year.
Finally, the number of shells of all
kinds completed during the last week
exceeded by about thirty per cent the
entire stock of munitions held in re-
serve at the outbreak of hostilities." ;"
Dealing with guns in the same way,
it is found that, representing the num-
ber of guns manufactured during the
first year of war by 100 the number
for the second year would be Sal, and
for the third year will be somewhere
in the neighboPhood of 1850. The
manufacture of lighter pieces has had
to be slackened recently, owing to the
fact that the equipment of the British
army in light field pieces is approxi-
mately complete, and it is only neces-
sary to provide for requirements and
renewals.
The improvement in the manufac-
ture of machine guns, rifles, grenades
and explosives has been equally salts
factory. Representing the total num-
ber of machine guns delivered to the
army during the first year as 100. the
total for the second year was 1850
and for the third year will exceed g.
600. The production of trench NOR
tar ammunition and grenades has
been so much developed that any
further increase scarcely seems neces-
sary.
The increase in the manufacture of
explosives has been tremendous. For
every ton of explosive employed in
September 1914, $50 tons were en-
ployed in July 1915 and 1900 tons in
July 1916.

Other members of the Thaw FAM

Thaws force of legal representatives
yesterday.
Harry X. Thaw's mother spent
more than three hours at his bedside
in st. Mary's Hospital during the
morning. She declined to say any,
thing regarding the plans of the fam
lily in the matter of Thaw's extra
dition to New York. The patient
continues to improve although still
very weak.
Friends of the Thaw family believe
that the final decision in the matter
of Thaw's removal to New York will
be to contest extradition. Counsel for
Oliver A. Brewer, arrested in connec-
tion with the Gump charges, will
make strong effort at the habeas
corpus hearing late to-day to have him
released on the ground that he had
nothing to do with the offense alleged
against Thaw. The habeas corpus
proceedings were instituted last Fri
day for the purpose of having Brow
er released on bail pending the arrival
of extradition papers. AS these pa
pers are now here, it is said, counsel
will drop this part of the proceedings
and ask for Browers absolute dis
charge from custody.

Scott. "As soon as he is better a con-
ference will be held with him by

Frank Johnston, of New York, an
other one of Thaw's attorneys, said
last night that there was no desire
on the part of the family to place
any obstacles in the way of the New
York officials and indicated that If
competent authorities show that he
should be kept in restraint there
would be no opposition to such meas
ures. "It will be easy to beat the

Mr.. Johnston declared, ''and we are

Picturesque and Bloody
Fighting Results in
Victory For Russians

London, Jan. 15. On the bleak
Riga front. amid the binding SHOWS
and piercing cold of Russian Win
ter, fighting of the most picturesque
and bloody character is going on. So
farsthe conflict has resulted in brilliant
successes for the forces of the Gar
Despite long and furious hand to-
| hand struggles, and the murderous
| fire of hundreds of machine guns, the
Russian troops have been able to
break through the German lines, al
most entirely destroying three enemy
regiments and routing another, and
nave finally overcome a series of forti-
tications constructed only after fifteen
months hard labor
Neither the severest snowstorms
nor the paralyzing frosts. nor impass-
able marshes could check your ardour.' -
THIS is the tribute paid by General
Dimitrieff to his heroic forces. The
splendid bravery of the Russian SOL
dier in the face of the severest weather
conditions. and over ground of the
most difficult military character, is
the key to the victory won by General
Dimitrieff in this region in the last
week.
Great Russian Captures
The tale of the Russian captures is
equally eloquent. 1t includes fifty ma
chine guns, thirty cannon and vast
stores of supplies and equipment. An
enormous consignment of brandy for
the German 900 bottles
also fell into TIE hands of the attack
ing troops.
The Russian advance is still in pro-
gress and further successes might con-
ceivably play havoc with plans for
the general staff for the Rumanian
campaign.
From present indications it is ap-
parent that Germany is planning a
gigantic offense through Bessa ra bia
into the granary of Russia, with a
view to relieving the serious shortage
of food within the dual empires. Won
Hindenburg's strategy. it is evident,
is based now on this drive, which
probably will be released as early in
the spring as weather conditions per-
init. Following the German maxim
that the surest defense is to strike
first and disable the enemy, this often
in operation before the Russians can
utilize the vast stores of munitions
now being piled up behind their lines
1T is therefore of prime importance
in the German plan to keep the north
ern portion of its own line protected
from Russian penetration there if an
| advance is to be made unhampered
against tie Kiev-Odessa line. Realizing
this the Teutons are making every
possible effort to check 1t before il
does incalculable harm.
The TeutOn Tactics
The Teuton tactics to-day in this
sector are the same as those used by
Won Hindenburg in the fall of 1914
when he stemmed the Russian adj
vance. The massed formation is en-
ployed against the Russian forces and
attack after attack is hurled upon the
front in the Riga -Mittau sector. The
latest assault of this character, which
was made with great bravery and
dash by the German battalions broke
down as completely as it's predecessors
In the face of q raking fire from the
Russian batteries.
Completing the work of the Rus
sian guns, the infantry executed q
sharp swift counter-attack, which
