Allies Striving Stem A Terrific Teuton Torrent
%
■ LONDON, Jan. 30.—The greatest
German drive ever attempted on the
West, not excluding the. gigantic
efforts last May, continues along the
entire line, the Allied official re
ports denying advance, the Ger
mans claiming in official reports a
mile of trenches between Neuville
and Souchez, and a thousand yards
of trenches about, and including
Frizie,, rushed home after a terrific
bombardment.
Today the French counter attacks
in a rushing offensive around Artois
have sent the Qermans reeling back,
while a British lightening thrust
around Loos in i&uddy fields has
checked the Gorman Flanders ef
fectively. 3
PARIS, Jan. 30.—The main Ger
man ' effort is now apparently to
capture Arras. Aeroplanes report
tremendous preparations for the of
fensive in Flanders and in Artois
with the wedge pointing at Arras as
the kov of the forward movement.
The losses so far have been appal
ling as usual In'trench assaults: the
Germans advancing quite regardless
of the number killed. The reported
German successes are without foun
•
elation.
LONHON. Jan. 30.—The German
drive still continues with unahateo
fury. The ability to withstand the
attack ohould the Germans con iv.er
Arras is doubted in some of the pa
pers here The Allies are confident
of ability to maintain the lines in
tact.
PARIS, Jan. 30.—A German Zep
pelin raid during the night result
ed in the death of one man, throe
women and two children from the
bombs of the airmen.

WASHIGTON, Ds. C.. Jan. 3».—
There is to be an exceedingly better
light In the Senate over the confir
mation of Brandela. Tho situation
fa quite unique in that the lnterosta
have openly announced that the;
will fight hint to the bitter and ana
their dutiful representatives are lin
ing up at the word of command,
much to the enjoyment of the news
papers who appreciate the predica

confirmed after a hard fight.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. SO.—
The Urgency deficiency bill Inclad
ins the two million Alaska railroad
appropriation , has passed the
Senate.
They are still talking about pre
paredness. Senator Owens has the
latest scheme whereby he thinks he
could kill two birds with one econo
mic stone. His idea Is to train the
unemployed year alter year during
the sections of season when unem
ployment la at it? height. He would
gather up the unemployed In the
cities, transport those tree to some
sunny 3Qu,them camp, pay them
living wages, give them a gun end
make soldiers out ot them. He
thinks they would make good fight
ing material.
The suggestion is being carefully
c nsidered.

ROOSEVELT IS STILL
STRONG IN RUNNING
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 30.—
A1I tbe spare time of the congress
men and professional politicians ?s
taken up considering presidential
possibilities. Root when asked if
be would support Roosevelt, said
that he was for harmony. What this
oracular Statement means Is being
variously interpreted. Root is not
very strong. Weeks is stronger but
not so strong as he has been, it is
reported that he may be boomed as
New Sngland's favorite son. Booms
are now exchanging Fairbanks for
Burton, but most of the wise ones
say neither has a ehanco.
A startling rumor appeared yest
erday to the effect that Teddy has
now groomed General Wood as the
dark horse to press forward to the
White House.
Hughes is still fairly generally
considered, one section of the stand
pats “hating to let go" to use the
exact words of one of the leaders.
The Hearst publications, favoring
extreme preparedness Indicate that
they would be ready to support
Roosevelt against any and all ri
vals. It now looks as if Roosevelt
ta going to put it all over the r*e;
of the other possibilities. This
much is certain that if Roosevelt is
not nominated, it will be Roose
velt's choice who will receive the
republican nomination' for president.
Roosevelt’s judicious silence for
the past week on subjects likely to
involve him br»dly with the republi
cans is significant to say the least
