DETACHMENT
OUT 81 THE RUSSIANS
AT PRZEMYSL
PETROGRAI), Jan. G—A sortie made against
the Russian force besieging tin* forts at Przemysl,
by a detachment of the defending force, made a few
[lays ago, resulted in the complete annihilation of
the detachment, leaving the fortifications with a
comparatively small garrison. The defenders are
getting desperate, as is testified to by the extremely
hazardous sortie made by a small detchment. It is
reported that the garrison is running very low on
provisions and that the men are living on less than
half rations, and that sickness has taken many of the
men away from their posts. The weather is ex
tremely cold, hampering both the besigers and be

Associated Press
Denies Boast of
Daily Alaskan
For bombastity, unreliabilty and down
right lying the Daily Alaskan is in a class by
itself, and we are in a position to prove these
accusations. In Monday’s issue of that paper
was printed an editorial in which an attack was
made upon the telegraphic news service furn
ished by the Assiciated Press to The Daily
Times and the boast made that “the Alaskan
was offered membership in the Associated
Press, but rejected the offer. ’ ’ So positive were
we that the Alaskan was making another of
its untruthful statements that yesterday we
telegraphed ver batim that part of the editorial
to the Associated Press, with a query as its
correctness, and late in the afternoon received
the following self explantory reply:
“Know nothing about membership being
offered the Daily Alaskan and refused by that
paper. Must be elected before they can get
report. The Associated Press never canvasses
for members.

OVERWHELMING DEFEAT OF
TIE CAUCASUS
LONDON, Jan. (5—Dispatches from Petrograd
report the defeat of the Turkish columns invading
Russian Caucasus. The defeat of the Turks is re
ported to he complete and overwhelming, one of the
columns being entirely annihilated by the Russians
and the other captured entire.
In the Austrian province of Rukowina, which
adjoins Roumania on tin- nortwest, the Russian in
ending force is meeting with little resistance, and
the Russian soldiers and tin* Roumanian frontier
guard have established extremely friendly ref
lations. Russian officials appear to lie certain that
Roumania will soon enter the war on the side of the
allies.
In England the signal defeat of the Turks is
regarded as removing all likelihood of Turkey send
ing expedition against Egypt, and also removes the
necessity of Russia sending further troops to the
Caucasus, as it is confidently believed that from now
on Turkey will be compelled to maintain a strictly
defensive attitude.

STATE ACTION
I _,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6— President
Wilson was today watted ui>on by a
delegation of women from all parts of
the country, who sought to obtain his
support for the measure now pending
in congress for na ional woman suf

Wilson, as on several occasions be

his opinion equal suffrage should be
obtained through state action and not
through a constitutional amendment.
The president said that if the states
desired to grant suffrage to women
they could do so more easily and
quickly by legislative enactment than
by accepting an amendment to the con
stitution.
