FIERCE BATTLES MARK
TEUTON CLASH RUMANIA
PETROGRAD, Jan. 7.— The fight
ing on the Rumanian front passes
all previous intensity. The Rus-1
sion counters overthrew the enemy
battling for possession of the heights
on the North Usui valley. Enemy at
tacks in the Oituz pass have been
repulsed.
A surprise attack upon the part ot
the enemy forced the Russians to re
tire to Rosea. The Rumanians re
tired twelve versts along the south
east confluence of the Puga and Ne
bala rivers. The Teuton offensive
along the Riminceni front retired
the Russians stubbornly resisting
four versts. Braila was evacuated
I on' Thursday last.
LONDON, Jan. 7.—It is believed
that both Galatz and Fochani are
doomed in Moldavia. ' The Teuton
occupation is reported to be immi
nent. Mackenzen’s ^Jfeistless drive i
is taking the Rumanians off their
feet. The fighting with the Rus
sians is savage beyond words, hand J
to hand combats are frequent with
resulting losses that are enormous
to both sides. The Teuton advance
is great but the cost is tremendous.
The Rusians are met in strength de
spite all the moves of the Teutons
and Mackenzen’s strategy is power
less to break down a steady and
weighty opposition. He is driving
his forces ahead regardless of all
losses.
BERLIN, Jan. 7.—Besides Braila,
five other towns have been captured
by the Teutons. The Teutons are
storming the Russian positions along
an extended front in the Trotus
valley. Galatz is now under Teuton
fire.
PRODUCTION BIG.
WASHINGTON. D. C., Jan. 5.—
The Geological survey’s mineral re
port now being prepared concerning
Alaska shows that the production
was equal to fifty million nine hund
red thousand dollars. The increase
exceeds eighteen million and fifty
thousand. The placer output is about
ten and half million. The increase
being due mainly to Marshal and
Tolovana.
ECLIPSE WATCHED.
A good many took advantage ot
the fine opportunity afforded them
by the clear weather to take a good
squint at the eclipse of the moon
last night which took place on sche-.
duel time and departed as punctual
ly as arranged by the astronomers.
The observation was made ideal on
account of the wonderfuly clear air
and unclouded sky.

GERMAN NATION TAKING
THINGS EASY NOW
0
BERLIN, Jan. 7.—It is officially
denied that the German government
has. taken any steps to respond di
rectly or indirectly to the Entente
response to their peace proposals. It
is further intimated that what action
Germany will take will be made
plain just as soon as it is seen what
the Entente reply will be to the Wil
son note. This makes is quite
on the peace proposition until the
stand of the Entente is better seen.
If it is the fact that the German
peace proposals lack definiteness, it
is declared that this can be easily
and quickly remedied. The basis of
a German peace is manifest, says
this report.

The laborites are saying little while!
the anti-strike laws are being con
sidered here, but they are making

mass of cumulative evidence show

daily taking place between the var

certed action is being considered to
meet any eventuality.
There can he only one best place to buy cigars anti tobacco
