FIGHTING GETTING NOW
BERLIN, Feb. 15.—With weather
conditions but slightly improved,
the eastern theater of war witnesses
a strong Teuton offensive in Galicia,
with the Russians trying to prevent
the advance upon Stanislau where
they have been holding their ad
vance lines during the winter. The
Russians had been secretly massing
troops with a view of a spring drive
upon Lemberg when the Teutons
sprung their offensive niton them.

LOCAL ITEMS.
Dr. Neuman received a letter from
D. Jennes, tlie young English etlino
logist with the Dr. Anderson sec
tion of the Stefannson expedition.
He enclosed a fine series of pictures
of the natives in Victoria Land and
these are very interesting showing,
a type so distinct from the local
Eskimo that the divergence would
almost appear to lie more than a mo
dification of the same race. Almost
all present among the males a pecu
liarly bulbous nose almost as
marked as the eartoonists’s carica
ture of the Hebrew. By the way, it
may not be known that Dr. Neuman
is making an especial study of tlio
ethnology of the Eskimo, and his
theory is quite distinct from that
commonly accepted. The most
generally accepted theory is that the
race came from Siberia or from west
to the east. Many facts have com
pelled Dr. Neuman to differ with
this view. One of the simplest yet
most striking is that the natives
here and in the Canadian Arctic had
no knowledge whatever of reindeer.
Their word for this animal is ot
very recent introduction signifying
the “deer that lives with men”. Had
the natives come from Russia ana
Siberia they would have been fa
miliar with reindeer and probably
brought them with them in their
migrations. Dr. Neuman believes
that the natives came from Green
land across Baffin Bay over Arctic
Canada to Alaska, and thence across
into the extreme eastern section of
Siberia. Interesting facts of a
more scientific nature have also sup
ported the doctor's theory.

PARIS, Feb. 15.—Fighting in the
Somme sector is severe. Although
cold and drizzling rain alternated
yesterday with sleet showers malt-1
ing movements somewhat difficult, ;
both the French and the British
advanced their lines following a
series of raids in the direction ot
the Ancre strongholds of tlie Ger
man defense lines. However owing
to the expectation that for many
weeks yet weather conditions will
preclude any serious offensive, it is
not believed that very extensive
operations will follow these attacks.
The German offensive In the Vosges
is succeeded by a lull.
Papers are still speculating on the
meaning of the German concentra
tion in Lorraine.
