Today's War Moves.

German troops are within nine miles
of Focsani They are advancing on
Braila and Galatz from which they
are separated only by the width OF
the Danube river. The most desperate
Russian resistance has been swept
aside and German forces fighting
hand to hand battles, are still going
forward.
Berlin's official version of the Ru-
manian fighting today shed this light
on the situation there. The Russian
bridgehead position of Braila has been
pierced so that occupation of that
town appears to be merely matter OF
hours. 1t is now three-fourths en-
circled Galatza, farther north, Is bet
ter protected by natural obstacles.

that those pleas have been refs yted,

Passed by Censor
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 5.--Great stg~
niticance was attached to passage by
AustroGerman censors today of
quotation from the Vienna newspaper
Arbter Zeitung, asking the govern
ment to discover III the entente WOuiu
be ready to negotiate peace after an
evacuation by Teutonic troops in the
west and If so, that the evacuation be-
made immediately"
The newspaper asserts the entente's
reply 'fs a peace note--if rightly un-
derstood."
Significance attached to this dis-t
patch arises from the fact that Brit,
ish sources have all along maintained
if Germany was in earnest about
peace, she should evacuate Belgium
and that part of France she now occu-
pies as a preliminary to peace discus
sions
