GROUND WON BY
ENTENTE IN 1916
1917 FINDS ARMIES ON PRINCI-
PAL FRONTS DEADLOCKED
FIGHT IN ROUMANIA.

NEW YORK.-(By European ca
bic to the Associated Press)-The
dawn of 1917 finds the belligerent
armies temporarily, at least, virtual
ly deadlocked everywhere, except in
Roumania.
1t finds also in the air a sugges-
ton by the Teutonic allies that they
are ready to discuss peace, but no
basis for the ending of hostilities has
yet been advanced by them, and the
Entente allies have signified their de-
termination to continue fighting until
their oft-repeated desires are COM
piled with.
The war map in the main theaters
OF the war at the commencement of
the new year shows at numerous
points material changes in the lines
as compared with where they stood
a year ago.
On the front in France, the Ger
mans in the Somme region have been
driven back by the French over
fronts of considerable size, while the
Germans in the Verdun sector made
notable gains toward the fortress,
but later lost part of the terrain
through a French counter-offensive !;
the Italians have advanced their line
on the east closer toward Triest, and
the Entente allies operating from
Salonlki have placed the Serbians on
their native soil again and also have
pushed forward their lines at va
rious points in Macedonia.
A -
the Russian General Brussiloff from
the Pinsk marshes to the Carpathians
was successful in clearing the Vol
hynian fortress triangle of the Aus
tro-Germans and in the capture of
much terrain in Galicia and Bukow-
ina.
Half of Roumania, which entered
the war in August on the side of the
Entente, now is in the hands of the
Teutonic allies.
The sweep of the Russians through
the Caucasus region and Turkish
Armenia has compelled the Turks to
yield much territory, while in the
south the British in their advance to-
ward Bagdad have been forced to
give up their strategic base at Kut-
El-Amara and are being held to a
virtual stalemate by the Ottoman
forces.
Aside from Roumania, there is lit
tie activity on any of the fronts, ex-
cept by the artillery wings of the
belllgerent armies. On the Media
Wan Pennsylvania front of the Rou-
manian theater the Teutonic allies,
reinforced, still are making progress
in their drive, which apparently has
as its object the effecting of juno
ton with their troops moving north
into Moldavia. Additional points
have been taken from the Russians
and Roumanians on both sides of the
Oituz valley and in the Putna and
Zobala valleys.
Meanwhile, Field Marshal Won
Mackensen's army continues pushing
into the country from the mountains
to the Danube The eastern flank
has thrown back the Russians from
the Braila bridgehead, while in Do
brudja the Teutonic line has been
driven closer to Matchin, across the
river from Braila. Here the Rus
slams have been forced to give up a
point of support east of the town.
Advices from Athens say the
French, British and Russian minis
tiers have signed a note demanding
the reduction of the Greek forces,
except in Peloponnesus, to a size
necessary only for police duty, the
release of political prisoners and
apologies to the allied ministers and
flags.

100000, OO0IS VALUE
OF AMERICAN CROPS
Texas Ranks First and Georgia
Fourth in the Value of
Farm Products.

Almost nine billion dollars was the
aggregate value of all crops of the
country last year In an estimate
announced by the department of ag-
riculture the exact value was set at
$8,934,587,000. That was an in
crease of $2,165,9S9,OOO over the
value of the 1915 crops and $2,867,-
100000 over the average of the
years 1910 and 1914.
Texas held its lead as first state
in value of its crops, but Illinois as
second state in 1916 was displacer by
Iowa last year. Georgia was fourth.
Except North Dakota every state
showed increase in the value of its
crops last year over 1915.
Alabama's increase was very slight.

HOLD INVESTIGATION
City Commissioners Want to Know
Facts About Water Supply.

An investigation of the city water
plant by an engineer to determine the
Improvements needed to safeguard the
city against future water shortages has
been authorized by the city commits
sioners A decision to this effect was
made at a private meeting of the COM
missioners Friday afternoon and an
nouncement that an engineer would
arrive in Topeka the middle of next
week was made at the city hall this
morning.
This plan, advocated by two of the
commissioners following the row Fri
day morning when they refused to
second a motion made by Frank NJ.
Newland, commissioner of water and
light to enter into a contract for the
purchase of a second hand electric
pump, was adopted by all commits
sioners. All realized that some step
is necessary to guard the city from
another water shortage.
Whatever a good engineer author
ICES that we do we shall do and Wen
do it by contract" said Commissioner
Porter this morning. The commits
sioner charged that the water depart
ment in digging a storage we'll last
summer, which hasn't been used yet,
acted contrary to recommendations
made by an engineer who examined
the plant. Complete plans for the sur
vey will be announced Monday.

ONLY THREE ARE LEFT
All Other Topekans Have Final Train
ing Camp Examinations.

All excepting three Topekans who
sent application blanks to Chicago for
appointment in the Officers Reserve
Corps have gone either to Lawrence
or Kansas City to be examined by
a regular army officer, according to
information received from the training
camp recruiting station at 626 New
England building, Topeka. Efforts
have been made to get the war de-
partment to send an officer to Topeka
to examine the applicants whose pa
pers had been returned to them
They were instructed to undergo a
physical and mental examination by
an army officer before receiving au-
thority to attend the training camp
at Fort Riley this summer The To-
peka lads, about 200 in number, be-
came tired of waiting and have either
gone to Lawrence, or Kansas City,
where army officers are stationed
The mental examination given is
described as easy. Most of the ques-
lions are concerning their education.
Following their examinations the men
were told that the war department
would send them further Instructions
as to the time for reporting at the
training camp. The camp will open
May s but the government doesn't
wish to rush the men there in a bunch
and different dates will be set for
receiving the men until all have re-
ported.
