SUMMARY OF WAR

On the western front in France
and Belgium and on the italian
front, whore the contsndinu armies
Of the chief belligeFents In the world
war have displayed little activity
for some time, official reports an
Hounce a resumption Of hostiIities
of unusual activity for winter
months. While the operations men
toned in the statements from the
various army headquarters are Of
little consequence from a military
view, yet the general extent Of the
activity indicates that DEVELOPMENTS
Of considerable magnitude are in i'm
mediate prospect.
Intensity Of artillery fire has in
creased all along the western front
and raidina parties and air fighting
have been resumed under more fav-
oFable conditions. The success of a
German raid on British trenches
west Of La Bassee is announced by
the British official communication
which claims. however, that anoth-
eF hostile party was dispersed west
of VilIers Guislain. In the Nieuport
sector the French war office an
nounees the recapture Of ground
gained by the enemy in a raid
Wednesday morning. The French
statement also says that the artiI-
lsry is active In the Chaums wood
front and in the sector Of Hill 344
and claims the failure Of an enemy
attack at the former place. More
intense artillery firing between the
Adise and Brenta Valleys is reported
In the italian official statement,
which also tells Of small ennage-
ments on the right bank Of che Piave
end on the southeastern slopes Of
Monte Spinonoia.
King Albert, in his reply 70 Pope
Benediot's peace note, declares that
Belgium will consent TO peace only
upon the guarantee Of absolute poll
tieal, economic and territorial inde-
psndenee.
Evidence of unrest among the peo-
pie in Austria and Germany continues
TO reach the outside world through
Switzerland and Holland. News Of
the Austrian strikes and peace de-
mands appear TO be generally known
in Germany despite the efforts Of the
10 the contrary. The Aus
trians' hope that the German work. |
ers would follow their lead. however
has not materiaIizsd, due probably |
to the ever powerful military party.

A. Asaociated Presa.l )

Washington, Jan. 24.--Tfte move
ment of fuel, food and munitions
went forward in the face of adverse
weather conditions today aided by
an unofficial embargo on eastbound
general freight virtually affecting
all railroads east of the MississipUi
and north of the Ohio and Potomac
rivers.
This situation, brought about by
embargoes formally ordered by Di-
rector General McAdoo for the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio
east Of Pittsburgh and the Phila-

continue for several days. Although
the director generals order was, re-
stricted to the three roads, other
