THE MINER WAR BULLETINS

ig . ” —‘
@ THURSDAY, JAN. 11

London: Rendered fearful by
the continued success of the Rus-
sian offensive movement along
the Riga-Mitau road, near the
northwestern end of the Russian
battle line,the Germans are pour-
ing all their available reserves
into the thinning lines which are
facing the Czar’s troops in this
sector. The Russians apparently
are preparing to extend their
attack until it reaches the di-
mensions of their great offensives
in Galicia and Volhynia, This is
the concensus of opinion, not only
in Allied circles, but also in the
capitals of the central powers, °

Petrograd: Russian troops, pur-
suing the offensive successfully
inaugurated a few days ago, at-
tacked the German lines in the
region of Lake Babit, west of
Riga, where they scored: an ad-
vance of more than a mile. An
enemy position | between Tirul
marsh and the Aa river was cap-
tured, with 21 heavy and aa light
guns: : .

Berlin; Renewed Russian at
tacks with stronger, forces, south-
west of Riga,. near the northern
end of the ‘eastern front, were

Unsuccessful,

‘London: The British govern-
ment is preparing to launch the
great “Loan of Victory’, which
will, it is hoped, be the last flota-
tion in connection with the war.

Paris: Heavy rains have inter-
fered with activities on the
Franco-Belgian front, and there
is no news of importance from
the western ‘battle line.

” Portuguese troops have arrived
on the French front.

Geneva: Although fearing a
- Teutonic effort to attack France
* through Switzerland, the Swiss
army is staunchly determined to
defend its country at all costs
against invasion from any source.

Amsterdam: German Social-
Democrats are circulating a peti-
tion to be sent to Bethmann-Hol-
weg, demanding that Germany
give up her plang of. conquest | j
and make peace at once,

London: The reply of the
Entente nations-to President Wil-
son’s peace note has received the],
approval of the Allied govern.
ments,-and is now en route to
Washington.

Ottawa: There ia‘no evidence
of an early peace, but on the
contrary all preparationsare being
made for a protracted struggle,
Since ‘the Sovation:, ot “Loyd

George to the premiership orders |

received by the Ottawa munitions
board have redoubled in Vigor,
The expenditure in Canada of
scores of millions of dollars on
munitions plants of many kinds
has been recently authorized. In
some cases new plants have been
ordered which eannot possibly be
ready for some months. When
completed the resources of the
national service commission will
be strained to provide labor for
their operation,

@ [ _ Fripai, JAN. 12 ‘}

London: It is learned that the
Entente reply to Wilson’s peace
note makes specific designation
of its terms of peace, which in-
clude the restoration of Belgium,
Servia and Montenegro and com-
plete reparation for the damage
they sustained: the evacuation of
the invaded territories of France,
Russia and Roumania, with such
reparation as is considered just,
The terms also require the libera-
tion of Italian Slavs, Roumanians:
_{and. Czech Slavs from foreign
domination, and the retirement
of the. Turkish empire from
Europe.
the reorganization of Europe, with
guarantees of a stable regime,
founded upon: respective nation-
alities, and full liberty and se-
curity of: al] nations, Russia’s
claim to Constantinople is not
specifically alluded to. The Tur-
kish clause is considered to mean
indirectly the replacement of
Turkey by Russia at the Dardan-
etles. The assurances of Emper-
or Nicholas of Russia: concerning
Poland are endorsed.

London: Six lines of entrench-|-

ments covering the town of Rafa,.
on Sinai peninsula, were taken by
British troops, who captured 1600
Turks,

Athens: Greece has finally
agreed to comply with all the
demands of the Entente Allies,

1

London: The British battleship
Cornwallis, 14,000 tons, was tor-
pedoed and sunk in the Mediter-
ranean, The warship was built
in 1904 and carried a crew of 750.

London: The “Loan of Victory’?
has been launched in Britain. It
is expected tobe the greatest loan
in history, The bonds: ‘will earry|
5 per cent interest, and will -be
issued at 95, They will run for a
term of thirty-years,- but are op-
tionally redeemable at the end of
twelve years, There is‘also an

Speaking at Guildhall,
George said the Kaiser’s peaee
offer was a trap baited with fine
words, ''We all want peace,’’ he

declared, “but: it must be a real

one.’’

Geneva: «A new monster zep- ||

Pelin, the L-40, made its first
flight over: Friedrichshafen and
Lake: ‘Constance yesterday. ‘Itis
equipped with apeciaily-desigried
propellers, which make vietually
no noise. A machine on board

A gun of larger caliber than- pre-
viously used is “mounted on top
of the eraft, The new airship
will join the air fleet i in the North
Sea. Another such erate i ig half
completed. ;

Paris; A German attack on
Caurrieres wood, in the Verdun

region, was repulsed. The enemy |

suffered heavy losses, Germans
in. the Front line trenches are
sending’ a call for peace on slips
of paper. Constant raids: and
bombardments fray ‘the nerves
of Getmany’s soldiers.

Rome: The : Allied council,
which has just concluded its. de-

liberations, is considered one of |’

the most important of the war,
It has definitely soldered the link
between the Allies—their broth-
erly sympathy and stern resolu-
tidn to achieve the final: victory
which will assure lasting peace,
right and justice.

Petrograd: ‘The Germans gain-
ed two heights north of the river
Oituz, in ‘Roumania,
