LONDON, J in. 17.—A Vienna
dispatch says that the Austrians
have captured the Ita'.jan positions
near Oslavio cud also trenches near
Tolmino. The Italian avt'llefy is
said to be increasing its pressure
upon tho Austrian face, and they
had to abandon their captures.
ROME, Jan. 17.—Tho reported
Austrian victories In the fighting
with the Italians noar Tolinino are
all unfounded. On tho contrary the
genera! headquarters reports the
continued pressure of tho Italians in
that region with the further with
drawal of the Austrians. The situa
tion is described as satisfactory.

offensive is about broken in Goritza,
the Austrians being also victorious
thera, driving back the Italians
along a twenty mile mountainous
front. -

ous pse of their artillery which it
is admitted is efficiently handled.
The great drive of the onemy has
not only been halted but valuable
positions re-captured near Oslavio
and other points along the Tyrolese
front.
The .'Austrians are now confident
«
that the Italian offensive has reach
ed its high tide and is now ebbing.
The indications reported today
are due to the effect that the Ita
lians are making ready to make
still further withdrawals near Tol
mino.

BUDAPEST!!,; Jan. 17.—Practi
cally in oppooition to a powerful pa
cificist faction for softtO time, and
which {action ' has boon making
steady . gains among the electors.
Count Tirza, tho war premier of
Austria-Hungary haa uncondition
ally quit his position. All efforts to
induce him to return have been fu
tile and the former Hungarian pre
mier is positive in his stand.
Tirza was’ one of the &03t active
sujip#rt'erif Of the w&r and a Strong
organizer for the Austro-Hungarian
forces. ko has been described as
the back bone, of the Austrian ag
gression from the start of the wor.
A short time ago Tlrza discussing
the Hungarian peace agitation de
clared that whi^t the Teutons had
won they would hol’d; that all the
doVfla in holl would not prevail
against them; that terms of peace
could only be considered Which
meant that tho Central lowers
would never again be disturbed by
Another waf; that they had fought
this war for security of life, and
they were not going to have to
light another one.
His resignation comoe as a sur
prise, for Jt was believed theJt bin
control of the Hungarian political
Sttuatlon was the surest thing of the
war. He opposed recently any sup
pression of peace talk on tho score
of Its being a safety valve fpr these
opinions, and he*'thus antagonized a
large number of his former enthusi
astic followers.

Starting In a warehouse containing
much Inflammable material, a lira

homeless. The loss is enormous.
The Are began early this morning
In a warehouse which was glutted
With barrels of oil, tar and other
dangerously, inflammable material.
The Intense flames made approach
difficult for the firemen and It
gained upon all their efforts, tho
burning structure throwing i)llei ot
embers and sparks in all directions
while the flames licking over adja
cent buildings soon had the other
neighboring buildings also on Are.
The cold weather made fire fight
ing very difflculi and the water sup
ply was at orio time very Inadequate
Alter vain fighting in this manije:
the free use of dynamito was re
sorted te, and the pathway of the
Conflagration cut clear by the blast
ing -away of buildings and thus
stemming the course of the flames.
Twenty were killed in the Are,
about fifty were UJurod, while the
number estimated to havq lost their
homes and personal effects is set at
about two thousand! The worn, of af
fording relief has been systematised
end the government is equal to re
ropairing the losses in tho dreadful
calamity.

ABILITY
OF FEDERAL JUDGES
WASHINGTON, I). C., Jan. 18.—
Cummings of Iowa holds that the
administration has appointed many
to the Federal bench who are wUol
ly unfit and incompetent to adjudi
cate on legal questions, and it has
resulted In appeals being taken in
order to secure . redress, and the
swamping of appelato courts. Ho
therefore has offered a resolution to
enquire into the ability of federal
judges and it is likely startling
facts will be put before such prob
ers. Today the Senate Judiciary
Committee recommended tho adop
tion of the Cominings resolution.
Senator Gore introduced a reso
lution today establishing a neutral
zone along the Mexican border,
which would bo policed jointly by
