ITALIANS TAKE
 THE OFFENSIVE

BERLIN, Jan. 29.-The war office this morning issued an official state ment saying that the Italians yes terday launched a terrific offensive along the northern mountain front between the Asiago Plateau and the Brenta river. The enemy is said to have made small gains which are unimportant.
 At the time the official bulletin was issued, the attack was being continued, but it was claimed that no impression was being made on the Teuton lines and that the enemy losses were extremely heavy.

LOCAL PEOPLE
 MAKE NEEDLES

Readers of The Citizen will be interested to know that Fairbanks has a new industry. In fact, it is now manufacturing center. It happened this way:
 Last week there was a large de- mand for knitting needles made upon the ladies of the Woman's Bureau of the Red Cross. So many patriotic women were learning to knit at the popular Red Cross after noons at the library, that the SUD- ply of needles on hand was ex- hausted. The new supply that is on the way will not arrive for week, and there are no more of the right size to be bought in town. So the Woman's Bureau asked the Northern Commercial company for three pounds of fine steel wire, of the required size, the Bureau of Mines gave the necessary tools, and George ,Landerking has turned out one hundred needles, all polished and pointed according to Hoyle, which the ladies say are superior to the ones obtained Outside.
 Whoever made that remark about the pedigree of invention was cer- tainly not far off in his statement.

 The majority now are content to get peace and keep their own coun. try intact without adding to Ger. man possessions.
 Just before left Berlin I had be. gun to hear many murmurs of a coming war with Austria. One Ger. man officer with whom I. had a short conservation one day said. "This war why this is nothing"
 "Well. I think it is terrible" said.
 "Yes," he said, "it is bad enough, but the real war will come when this war is over and Austria and Germany fight-that may be war which will end only in the extermination of one or the other"
 And his smile showed his conn., dence as to where Germany would be found at the end of 1t.

VILLA BA..DlTS BLOW UP TRAIll,
 KILLING MANY

JUAREZ. Mexico. Jan. 29.-Official reports received here tonight state that a band of Villa troops dyna mited bridge on the Mexican Cen tral railroad last Saturday while a train was crossing. More than 110 soldiers and passengers were killed and the train completely wrecked.
 The scene of the wreck was twen. ty-five miles south of Santa Rosalia, where the road crossed deep ra' vine. The bridge was mined with giant dynamite and the explosion timed so that the train was on the bridge when it occurred.
 Following the wreck, the bandits are reported to have searched the ruins and robbed the dead and in jured. Several Americans were on board the train, and some uneasi' ness is felt for their safety. None of the names of the dead passen. gers have been received here.

FILES
 APPEAL NOTICE

In accordance with the statement of their attorney at the time of the trial of the Northern Commercial Co. for breaking the eight-hour law. the company has filed notice of ap- peal and furnished bond. This stays the judgment of the commissioners court until further action is taken, and the appeal papers direct will probably be filed with the clerk of the court within day or two.
 At the trial in the commissioners court the company was fined $250 and costs. They then made the state ment that they would appeal the case mainly on the grounds that the eight-hour law is unconstitutional according to the fourteenth amend ment to the federal constitution.
