GERMANS CAPTURE MANY
RUSSIANS IN RIGA REGION
Enemy Driven Back Mile and a Half
in Battle Marked by Violent
Fighting.

London, Jan. 26.- Victories Of con-
siderable proportions have been
achieved by the Germans over the
Russians and by the Russians over
the Bulgarians. The German success
occurred in the region Of Riga, where
in violent fighting they drove back the
Russians for a distance of mile and
half between the Tirul swamp and
the Aa river and east of Kalnzen.
Russians to the number of 1900 were
made prisoners.
A slight surprise attack gave the Rus
slams their victory over the Bulgarians
The scene of this fight was the south
ern arm of the Danube estuary near
Tultcha, where the Bulgarians had
made an advance, with Bessarabia
their objective While Berlin only
mentions the abandonment of the DO
sition, Petrograd says the Bulgarian
force, battalion strong, was destroy
ed, except five officers and 1872 men,
who were made prisoners.

GREETS WITH SYMPATHY
EVERY EFFORT FOR PEACE
With Agreement Of Its Allies Officials
Would Have Germany Again Ex-
change Views With U. S., Be-
ieving That Ultimate
Peace Would Result.

London, Jan. 27.-Reuter's Amster1
dam correspondent sends a Budapest
dispatch, giving the reply of Count
Stephen Tisza, the Hungarian premierl
to question put by member of the
opposition party in parliament con-
corning President Wilson's address to
the Senate. Count Tisza is quoted aa
follows:
pursuant to our peaceful policy be,
fore the war and our attitude during
the war, as we'll as our recent peace
action, we can only greet with sym,
pathy every effort aiming at the resto,
ration of peace. We are, therefore, in
clined to continue a further exchange
of views regarding peace with the
United States government. This ex-
change must naturally occur in agree
ment with our Allies.
Inclined Toward Peace.
I'm view Of the fact that President
Wilson, in his address, makes certain
distinctions between our reply and our
enemies reply, l must especially state
that the quadruple alliance declares it
Is inclined to enter into peace nego-
tlations, but that at the same time it
will propose terms which, in it's opin-
ion, are acceptable for their enemy
and calculated to serve as basis for
q lasting peace"
Continuing, Count Tisza said:
I'm such circumstances it cannot be
doubted which group of powers by it's
attitude is the obstacle to peace, and
this group approXimates to President
Wilson's conception The President
opposed a peace imposed by con-
queror From this, it follows clearly
that so long as the powers opposed to
us do not substantially change their
war aims an antagonism that cannot
be brldged stands between their view
point and the Presidents peace aims

STRONGEST BATTLESHIP

She cannot compare with the lightly
armored battle cruisers in speed, how

When completed, the Mississippi

ONE MORE EFFORT, Then PEACE
WILSON LOOKS FOR SPRING OF.
FENSIvE BEFORE PEACE TALK.
Big Drive Must Be Awaited Which ID
Expected to. Be Turning Point in
International Maneuvers.

Washington, Jan. 27-Oficial SEN
timent in Washington is that a great
spring offensive will prove to be the
turning point in international peace
maneuvers.
The President and his few close
advisers who are sitting in with him
on all his moves toward peace still re-
main as secretive as ever, but other
high officials who know the minds of
these former few are positive that the
President himself believes one more
great effort will be made by one or
both sides before the first actual step
forward toward a real peace goal is
taken.
Goal Not Yet in Sight.
And, regardless of responses, direct
or otherwise, from bellgerent govern
ments on President Wilson's remark
able address to the Senate, many dip
lomats here agree in this belief that
the goal of peace will not be in sight
until the gigantic effort which. they
feel is coming in the spring.
They say news from the front shows
preliminary plans for such drive now
are in full sway.
Within six weeks all details for this
campaign will be completed. Belief is
firm here that the Allies will insist on
awaiting the outcome before peace is
possible.
Summing up the moves of the last
month, however, it is believed Presi-
dent Wilson has laid a real ground
work for peace-after the drive.
His advisers believe he has created
situation which will make it diff
cult for either side to insist on contin-
ulng the war after the results of the
spring campaign are definitely deter
mined.

Okmulgee, Okla, JAM 26-Killing of
three bandit leaders after a three
weeks chase has dissolved the south
vests terror trust, according to posse
men returning from the outlaw drive.
Harry Hart, Will Hart and Oscar
Poe are dead and now for the first
time in many months the hamlets of
Oklahoma will sleep in peace, conf
dent that the depredations of a merci-
less highwaymen's organization have
been brought to an end.
Arrests Expected.
Besides the Hart brothers and Poe,
one member of the gang has been kill
ed, another is wounded and third is
in jail. The whereabouts of other
members have been discovered by the
authorities and their arrest is expected
within a few days. The officers are
preparing for dead or alive" fight.
Two more members of the robber
band were believed in custody when
word reached here of the capture of
two men who had tried to hold up the
Caddo County State bank at Fort Cobb.
Banks In Country Suffer.
The gang of 20 or more bandits was
divided into bands of four and five,
working in different parts of the state,
and no two robberies were carried out
by the same group.
The Hart brothers, whose plans prob
ably were more complete than the
James pair ever contemplated, are be-
lieved to have been the ringleaders,
who, with Poe, planned the raids over
the whole state.
Gangs Loot 100000.
From the headquarters at Tulsa, the
robber bands directed their work
against country banks, and the whole
organization is thought to have taken
more than 100000 since they were
banded together.
Sheriffs are convinced that there was
working agreement among the out
laws, who numbered more than a
score of the most expert bank thieves
in Oklahoma

LAW IS HELD CONSTITUTIONAL
SO-CALLED "BLUE SKY" STATUTE
UPHELD BY SUPREME COURT.
Means Defeat for Bankers in Their
Fight Against Measure to Prevent
Fraud in Business.

Washington, Jan. 23.-So-called blue
sky laws Of Ohio, Michigan and South
Dakota regulating sale of securities
and designed to bar get-rich-quick
schemes we're held constitutional by
the supreme court in far-reaching de-
cisions affecting similar laws in 20
states. Justice McReynolds alone dis
sented to the opinions of the court.
May Burden Business.
The court admits that such statutes
may burden legitimate business, but
holds that the interests Of legitimate
business are not paramount to the
police powers of states to protecr their
citizens from fraud. Federal court in
functions suspending enforcement Of
the laws are dissolved.
The laws do not attempt to prohibit
llnWise investments, but give states
authority, through security commits
sions or banking superintendents, to
forbid, within their borders, sales Of
securities believed dangerous.
Model Blue Sky Laws.
The Michigan and South Dakota
statutes were patterned upon the
model" blue sky bill drafted by the
national association Of attorney gen.
erals whose law is also the model for
the laws of several other states.
That securities are instrumentalities
Of commerce and, as such, exempt
from state regulation and subject only
to national supervision, was the prin-
cipal contention of bankers, stock
statesmen, and corporations attacking
the laws.
