TEUTONS WEAKENED

Troops Withdrawn TO
Meet ThruSt-RuSSian
Assaults Succeed

London. Jan. 3i.-Despite the intense
cold which is paralyzing activity over
vast reaches OF the European battle
lines, the Germans to-day hurled a
violent offensive at the Russian front
near Ria. which resulted in the capt
ure of almost thousand prisoners and
forced a retreat of the Cars troops 10
q depth of two-thirds of a mile before
counter attacks checked the assaults.
The Germans employed large forces,
whicl. were evidently brought from the
Ruma1ian front to meet the Northern
Russian threat of the last two weeks.
and the battle reached great violence.
both sides developing intense artillery
fire. Tuesday night a German Zeppe IN
surveyed the Russian positions by
searcnlight. and in the morning the
Teuton guns began fierce lombard
ment over large sector, employing
principally shells charged with gas. q.
An infantry attack launched between
the Tirul swamp, now solid mass o.
ice. and the River IA was smothcred
by the Russian barrage fire, but TO the
northeast o. KalnZem the gas shells
had done their work and the German
advance forced the enemy back along
the high road for almost a mile.
Further German attacks we're beaten
back by artillery fire, and then the
Russian counter attack was flung over
the conquered territory, retaking all
but a small sector, according to Petro-
grad. A number Of machine guns and
prisoners were taken. The Berlin re-
port is more specific, declaring the
capture of fifteen machine guns and
more than 900 men.
However, this show OF force was ac-
companied by a corresponding weak
ness along the Rumanian front. The
Russian offensive upon the northern end
of this sector has been successfully re-
sumed, with the gain Of ground along
tie Kimpolung-Ja cobeni railroad, where
Brusiloff is driving southwestward.
Here the Russians tore their way
through barbed wire entanglements,
wading in snow up TO their waists.
Berlin comedies the capture from
mixed Austro-German commands of
point of support near Vale Putna. This
is in the region where the Russians last
Saturday captured 300 of the enemy,
and, being near the junction of the
boundaries of Bukowina, Pennsylvania
and Moldavia, indicates determined
effort to turn the German positions in
conquered Wallachia, or at least to
force a heavy shifting OF supports.

May Command Home Boys.

Any Maryland graduate of the first
Fort Myer training camp who has re-
ceved orders to report for duty at
Petersburg, but who would prefer to
;Din command at Camp Meade, Ad
lniral Md, may make an application
for transfer and be detailed to train
men from his home state.
Adjutant-General Mccain, of the
army, made this announcement, add
ing, however, that no blanket order
would be issued reassigning the Mary
landers from Petersburg to Admiral.
II was too late to do this, he said, but
the department would give favorable
consideration to any Maryland officer
who might wish to be sent to Camp
Meade.
Several weeks ago the War Depart
ment announced that as far as practi-
cable officers from the training camps
would be placed in command of men
from their home states. Carrying Ou-
this policy, nearly all the Marylanders
who trained at Fort Myer were ordered
upon graduation to report at Peters
burg not later than August 90
Meantime, the Maryland troops.
which were slated for training at
Petersburg, were ordered instead to
train at Camp Meade. This divorced
the Maryland officers from their men.
II was too late when the decision
changing the troops was made to re-
call all the orders which had gone out
to the Maryland officers.
The best solution for the difficulty,
the Adjutant-General said, was the
plan which has been adopted of per
mitting Maryland officers to apply for
al immediate transfer. These appii-
cations will be acted upon Immediate
ly and all those who desire to train at
Admiral will be given authority to
do SO

Shoulders For All State Roads.

The State Roads Commission will
ask the next General Assembly to pro-
vide an appropriation with which to
construct shoulders for all highways
which have been improved and which
will be improved in the future. The
improvement will be urged on the
ground that there is a general demand
fer wider roads. Another argument
Will be that many accidents can be
avoided by the addition OF the shoul-
decs.
Tie commission will also recon-
mend that more stringent laws to regu-
late use of the state roads by heavy
rl0toT-tIucks, which have been de-
structive and costly.
The work of building improved
roads through incorporated towns is
progressing rapidly. Half a dozen
towns are now witnessing the work
This Improvement has been retarded
by the failure of the several towns
to make provision for smooth-surfac-
ing the space between the roads built
by the state and the pavements.

someone will be killed"
1t dawned even on Talbot after a
time that her solicitude was for none
Of them. When he realized it, at last,
he sat back with folded arms and
frowning brows. Here was mockery,
for sure; old Hilary's daughter, reared
on pure violence, and in love with a
parson !-old Hilary's daughter and
successor, defying the band in its
hour of need, and quoting a divine
trust, in extenuation
In view Of her attitude, there seemed
to be nothing to do.
"We'll give 1t up, Of course" said
Lethbridge, after pause.
There had never been any drinking
in old Hilary's house. Only abstain
ers were ever taken into the band. But
it was the custom Of the two older men
to remain at the table over their cigars,
giving Walter and Elinor q half-hour
together. That night, when Elinor
rose from the table, Huff, although he
rose with the others, made no move
to follow her. She looked back from
the doorway, slim, almost childish
figure, with beseeching eyes.
"You must all try to think kindly Of
me-" she said wistfully. Il care for
you as much as ever did. You are all
1 have, you three. 1t is only that I
have been thinking"
For the first time since the organi-
zation of the band, there was quarrel
ing that night in old Hilary's paneled
library. AT the end Of an hour Walter
