liONDON, Jan. U.—The British
forces attempting to relieve Kutel
mara are now within soventeen
miles of the place and fighting in a
very hard country all the way.
The British in Kutelmara, are
outnumbered two to one, but Gen
erals Aylmer and Cambell think that
they will be able to hold out whille
the relief presses forward.
The situation in many respects
however is bad as the city strong
hold resembles Ladysmith, 1b at the
base of many hills which the su
[ perior numerical force of the enemy
' controls. The government bulle
tins confidence in relieving tho si
tuation.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 11—A
dispatch from the Mesopotamia front
says that the British Mesopotamia
force is doomed.
LONDON, Jan. 11.—The advice*
coming from Turkish sourres saying
that the British were doomod at
Kutelmara evidently are several
days old in transmission across the
territory of Turkey in Asia.
The official bulletin posted this
evennlg announcing the advance ot
the relief expedition has secured
more optimism from the press com
ments upon the war in that section
It cannot be disguised however
that the entire force Is in imminent
peril, and the fighting is savage and
desperate.

SAME AS REPUBLICANS
CHICAGO, Jan. 11.—The Pro
gressive National Committee has
named June 7 os the date of the
convention to be hold here.
This may mean much, and it is
believed that it is the Intention of
the Progressive to re-unite with the
republicans provided that a progres
sive man is nominated.
The general belief voiced by the
Chicago Tribune that the two par
ties will in June coalesce receives
considerable support from the an
nouncement which is now made.
| Tho democrats are split badly on
■ preparationlst schemes and it is
evident that Wilson is getting cold

FIGHTING HEAVY GALICIA;
RUSSIANS ARE CHECKED
VIENNA, Jan. 11.—It is believed
that the heavy Russian offensive in
feukowina and Galicia is checked.
The reports arriving this evening
indicate that the Strypa river posi
tions which the Russians took,
yesterday were re-taken by the Teu
tons.
It is admitted that the losses on
both sides are very heavy.
BERLIN, Jan. 11.—The heavy
reinforcements are beginning to tell
on .the Russian Bukowina drive and
it is announced that the positions
on the Strypa river gained yesterday
by the Slava wero re-taken this
evening by the Teutons.
PETROGRAD, Jan. 11.—The si
tuation in Bukowina continues satis -
factory. The Germans are still fight
ing a defensive with their Allies
against the Russian onslaught. They
are massing powerful forces along
the Strypa river where they-' regard
the Russian movement as particu
larly dangerous. They regained the
positions which the Russians tem
porarily occupied last night, but
cannot re-cross the river although
they have made several attempts
to do so, while the Russians en
trenched on the opposite side have
mowed them down in windrows.
The artillery work of the Russian
troops has of late been particularly
effective. The Tzar is presont on the
Galician front in person, and has
congratulated his troops.

ADMITS
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. 11.—
TJ»o, Cabinet is considering the pre
paredness measures. President
Wilson told Hay the Chairman of
the House Mtllttary Committee that
Garrison's continental army plan
Is. apparently, doomed, but senti
ment would favor sonde Increase In
military and regulars.
.. Senator o Clarke today introduced
a resolution for an independent
PhllHpines.
Newlands dellverod> a speech at
tacking the Democratic tariff and
the new military bill which heclared
too radical. He said It attacked
and antagonised business houses.
He also declared that Britain’s
violation of neutral rights was
greater, than anything that Germany
had done.
Kate Adams and members of the
Women’s Peace party addressed the
Foreign Relations Committe.
A concurrent resolution ordering
the printing of one hundrod thou
sand copies of the report of the In
dustrial Relatione Commission was
only adopted after the .bitterest op -
position which almost won out.
The southern and middle western
delegations in Congress are strongly
opposed to Wilson’s schemes ami
will defeat them in both House and
Senate regardless of party affilia
tions. This now appears to quash
the Wilson plans for extensive war
preparation.

■«ut
CHICAGO, Tan. 11.—The Engine rs
lire.neu. trainmen, conductors,
switchmen and baggagemen are now
balloting on the eight hour day.
It carried and the men determine
to fight for It, It will result in the
complete tie-up of the railroad in
dustry becauce the management of
the varioua railroads declares that
on no consideration can it be con
ceded. The estimated increase In
the working staff such an eight hour
day would mean, is set at approxi
- *',4 n
mately one hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars a year. This cost Is
considered by the companies to bo
outside the possibility of conces
sion.
The men look at it that most of
those who are steadily employel
are over-worked, while very many
on the other hanJ? are on short time
or are not employed most of ths
time. The eight hour day will give
all members work and then some.

eight hour day and it is be
lieved that official influ
ence is secretly opposing it. But
the men say that it will carry two

because tho railroad companies will
hack down at the iact minute.
Moreover the railroad worker.*

the two apart without drinking a
drunkable quantity is causing de
