(ASSOclated Press Summafy.)
 The all important interallied confer ence has begun it's session in Paris. Fifteen nations were represented at the first meeting and much is expect ed from the discussions and decisions of this conference in the way of CO., operation in carrying on the war against the central powers and the pooling of the great resources of the allies.
 Important meetings of the supreme war council, composed of representa- tives of the United States, Great Brit ain, France and Italy will be held shortly, at which the military opera tions on the entire western front will come under consideration. Little Changes at Fronts. There has been little change on the various fronts, according to the infor- nation coming out of the capitals of the belligerent countries in the last 24 hours, but the British are pound- ing hard in the Cambrai sector. The town of Cambrai is now directly under fire of the British cannon. Battling of the infantry for the possession of Fontaine Notre Dame and between Moeuvres and Bourbon has ceased tenn porarily,, but at times the artillery fire is of great intensity in these regions. Near Poelcapple and between Bede Laere and Geluvet and in the Arras sector, the big guns of both groups of belligerents are maintaining heavy bombardment.
 Belgian Position Attacked.
 Attacks on the Belgian positions east of Merckem by Bavarian storm ing troops netted the enemy some pris. oners and two machine guns, but an other hostile attack on Belgian troops in the neighborhood of Aschhoop was beaten off after bitter fight.
 After violent preparations, the Ger mans in great strength undertook a raid north of Carnillet, in the Cham pagae, but were beaten back by the French troops, who inflicted heavy losses on them.
 Two other German attacks, one near Bethincourt on the left bank of the Mouse and the other west of Vauxles Damloup on the right bank, also, were repulsed, while a French raid on the German lines in the region west of the Aire was carried out successfully, and resulted in the taking of some Ger man prisoners.
 Italians Use Artillery.
 All along the entire Italian front the batteries of the armies are maintain ing a violent bombardment, but no in- fantry actions of importance are re. ported from this theatre of the world war.
 The German war office reports that Italian attacks against the Austro- German mountain positions on the west bank of the Brenta and on the Monte Tomba failed.
 .... Huns Lose War Ships.
 News from Petrograd is meagre and exact details of conditions in Russia not available. Count won Hertling, the imperial German chancellor, has in- formed the reichstag that Germany is ready to enter into peace negotiations with Russia, as soon as representa- tives fully accredited by the govern ment of that country, arrive in Berlin. The chancellor asserted that Germany would accept the right of Poland, Lithunia and Courland to self govern ment.
 All br. two of the crews of Ger man torpedo boat destroyer were lost when the warship struck mine of the coast of Holland and sank. The destroyer was part of the Zebrugge flotilla.

cultural pursuits and employers of |

the law. 1t will be impossible for
him to secure these names and adj

NOTIFY new MEMBERS
ABOUT EXTRA SESSION
Bennet Requests Representatives-Elect
to Be on Hand March 6.

Administration leaders last night
were certain that the legislative and
international tangle will force an ex-
ira session of Congress.
Formal announcement was made in
the House by Representative Bennett
that all Democratic Representatives
elect to the Sixty-fifth Congress- had
been notified to be in Washington on
March 6.
Despite the fact that from every
quarter an extra session, seemed un-
avoidable. it was stated at the White
House that the President still had not
dennitely determined that he will call
the new Congress together as soon as
he Is inaugurated. and was yet hope
ful that 1t may be unnecessary.
The notification to all Democratic
Representatives-elect declared that an
extra session would be called for
March 8. and urged all Democratic
members to be present at that time.
The announcement created intense
interest in the House. On account of
the tie-up of the next House with 215
Democrats and 215 Republicans, the
balance of power will be held by fye
other members forming an Independ-
ent group.
