SUMMARY OF WAR

French troops, In the Woevrs, have
enlivsned ths virtual Inactivity cH
the western front by successfully
completing a sortis into the German
lines east Of st. MihisI. The German
positions on a one mile front were
penetrated and $50 prisoners and
some machine guns captured. After
destroying the defenses and sheltsrs
the French returned to their own
lines.
The French also made an attempt
against the enemy lines near Am

Berlin, which claims the thrust was
repulsed. Paris announces the
checking Of German attempts in the
region Of Mont Teton In Champagne.
Meanwhile the artillery duel north
east of Nerdun and in upper AIsace
continues active.
German troops in q local attack
east OF Bulleeourt, west northwest Of
Cambrai, entered the British trenches
but q counter attack elected the en-
hands Of the British. Berlin reports
the failure of a British thrust on the
Boesinshe- Stadsn railway, northeast
OF TpreB. The German artillery is
stlIl active IN the Ypres sector.
Bad weather on the italian front
has reduced infantry operations 10 a
minimum but the artillery is busy on
the northern line between Asiaao and
the PiaVs.
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haiq, in
his review of the 1917 campaiun up
to mid November, says that the ad-
ditional strength the Germans have
gained from the Russian and Italian
failures has largely been discounted.
He declares that the ultimate de.
struetion Of the German armies has
been brought aPPreeiabIy nearer. The
offensive campaign planned for 1917

UNEARTH PLOT

Planned to Dispose of Mil
itary Stores Valued
$250,0O0

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. s.-Arms
ammunition and military stores
valued at 1886, 900, stored in the fed
eral building, here, were offered for
sale by federal officials for the pur-
pose OF starting a revolution in
Mexico, 1t was announced here today
by army intelligence officers.
Intelligence officers, answering an
advertisement for "ten husky men,,
unearthed the plot. One man, posing
as a buyer, was led to the basement
Of the federal building, according to
army officials. and shown all the out
fit, including ten machine guns.
Three men are now under arrest.
They are Nicholas Sem Zozz, N.
A. Myles, and Joseph Collins.
Intelligence officers named without
reservation two federal officials who
they said arranged the plot.
The army account Of the affair, in
sofar as 1t was available, is that the
munitions were confiscated by the
government some two years ago,
when an alleged plot to start a Mexi-
can revolution in the interests of
American land owners was frustrat-
ed. The supplies were tucked away
tn the federal building and remained
there until certain federal appointees
saw a chance for profit and were un-
able to resist. An advertisement in
the newspapers, with a code sigma
ture, was the means they hit upon
for concealing their tracks beyond
hope Of discovery. Army agents,
interested in Knowing why any
proper work requiring "ten husky
men" could not be advertised openly,
trailed the story down.

not yet been offered a chance to
make such a peace, but he was sure
the Germans must need 1t.

quoted German deserters as saying
that the Germans were unable to
remove troops from the eastern
front in large units. They were re-
moving them one at a time and the
men, knowing where they were be-
ing sent, jump from trains in at

Asked what terms he actually
hoped to get, TrotzlSy refused to re-
ply. and said laughingly:

would declare war on England now
