RUSSIAN LINE BOLDING
Petrugrad Reporta ActirUjr of Ger
man Trops in Kaat I’rnMia Wher«
They Have Gathered in Consider'
able Force—f’ilrpatlilan Battles
Con^inne.
A strong German movement has
begun in East Prussia Vhere large
German forces have been concentrat
ed. Contemporandoufiiy. th* Russians
are retiring from the Mpiurlan lake
districTto their frontier.
Petrograd reports Thursday: . “It
has been deflntteiy. established that
^h^ Germans are qdncentratlng very
great, forces in East Prussia. These
forces have Started an offeasive,
which they are developing, especially
in the direction of VVilkowyszkt
(north of Aughstowo) and Lyck. The
presence is reported of units compos
ed of ne\*r recruits from central Ger
many."
Berlin reports: "On the East Prus
sian frontier engagements were con
tinued wljh results which wece alto
gether satisfactory to us, although
deep snow hindered the movement of
our troops. The results of these en
gagements can not yet be seen.
Petrograd reports: In the opinion
military experts here Russia has
finally established superiority as a
fighting power over Germany and the
turning point of the war on the Rus
sian side has now been reached.
While the German soldiers and
minor commands continue to fight
with a courage and determination
that are almost ^perhuman, it Is evi
dent to those who\are In position to
know all that must be known before
a trustworthy opinion , can be formed
that the German plans have gone to
pieces.
The bottom has fallen out, of the
campaign against Russia, and ail that
the Germans are now seeking to ac
complish is to cover the failure pf
their strategic plan, or possibly the
absence of any adequate plan, by
frantic rushes at frightful cost in
er«yrg direction.
J The steady forward movement of
the Russians In East Prussia, their
great advance over the lower Vistula,
their advance along the lower Vis
tula on the left bank, he defeat of
the German divisions in the Carpa
thians. all occurring simultaneously,
are an indication unmistakable to the
soldier’s eye.
It is believed here that political
necessities broke up the pnity of the
German plans for this war; but po
litical necessities are factors in every
war and are only found inimical to
the strategy of the losing side. The
really great strategist makes allies of
these political factors, which are al
ways present In every war Russia's
successes are In no small degree due
to this fact.
Orank Duke Nicholas from the out
set of the war based his strategy
scheme upon Importance In every
sense of Galicia. Whether advancing
or retreating, marching or fighting,
the Grand Duke has never lost his
grip on that strategic scheme. It is
now being put into execution In the
Carpathians.
The Germans sent thither three
army corps to sttken the Austro-Hun
garian main attack, but the Germans,
if they bore the brunt of the fighting
likewise suffered the worst defeat.
In the battle north of the Tukholka
Pass the Russians were distinctly in
ferior on numbers to the Germans.
Unquestionably Russia has many
more men under arms than Germany,
but she can not dodge them abobt
from front to front as the German
commanders do. In the fighting line
the Russians have no superiority in
numbers and in many memorable bat
tles they have been largely in the
minority.
The Grand Duke's numbers are
mostly standing ready for use when
the proper moment' comes. In the
actual fighting no more men are em
ployed than is necessary to effect the
purpose of the moment, and those
men are not wantonly wasted, but
the Russians, unprovided with a close
network of strategic railways special
ly designed in every way for military
purposes, must have numbers to hold
all points of their 700-mile front.
The Germans have hammered at
every link in that chain and broken
none. It has cost them three-quar
ters of a million men to learn that
the Russians are fighting men of the
best stamp.
From ttie dimensions of the battles
in the Carpathians and their rapid
sequence it is believed that the deci
sive moment of the southern cam
paign is very near. This view is
strengthened by the hurried redistri
bution of the German forces in Hun-
guary, which number about 300,000.
They are attempting the task of
capturing the initiative in some se
lected openings toward the north,
while the Austrians maintain a pas
sive defense in huge numbers in the
better known passes, especially those
westward of the region where the
fighting has been heaviest.
llie German offensive has already
been crippled by their appalling
losses in men both along the Rawka
and Bzura last week and in the fierce
struggle for the heights commanding
the Tukholka Pass, which opens into
the Stryl Valley In Eastern Galicia.
Both these failures following in 1m
mediate succession leave them with
the bitter consciousness that an ab
solute want of men Is ruining their
cotnpalgn.
Berlin reports: Important develop
ments In the East are generally ex
pected at an early date. Rumora
have been repeatedly circulated from
ttme to time la--tb« last few weeks
that the hoar of x big-victory was at
hand, without, however, materlal!*-
tag lato fact.
There la reason to believe that the
are bow la sufficient {free
to attempt a decisive stroke at a
ohosen point.
Major Moraht, the military critic
of the Tageblatt, who is virtually the
only Berlin critic to venture an in
dependent verdict en the military
situation, speaks of “an impending
decisive battle'* in the east. He ex
pects that an.attempt will be made
to break the Russian lines and cross
the Vistula, and discusses the po*
sible length of time Warsaw will bold
out after that, although it Is not clear
that the German commanders lay de
cisive weight on the immediate pos
session of the city and fortress. In
case of success, Che Austrian military
representative is quite confident that
Przemysl will soon bfe relieved for a
second time.
It is known that the German fofces
in East Prussia and north of tlie 7 Vls-
tula, which' for months have been
content to remain on a strategic de
fensive , have been considerably
strengthened, and that a fairly gen
eral engagement Is now In progress.
Field Marshall von Hlndenberg 1 re
ports that this engagement Is "pro
gressing normally," a phrase strong
ly reminiscent of the bulletin which
appeared Just before the announce
ment of a general Russian defeat on
December 17.
Petrograd reports: The Austro-
Geyman army, amounting probably to
400,000 men, is moving eastward of
Nadvornay, in a broken country, to
wards the Bukowina frontier, pre
sumably with the object of attempt
ing to envelop the Russian left wing
The retirement of the Russian col
umn from Kimpolung followed upon
the Austrian occupation of Kirllbaba,
which made the position at Jakoben
untenable. This covers the only prac
ticable access to the Kimpolung Pass
The operktions there must evidently
wait on decisive results In the East
ern Carpathians.
The Germans, who gradually had
been concentrating in East Prussia
with fresh troops, began a series of
energetic reconnoissances, and on
February 7 they opened offensive
operations on both wings of their
front In East Prussia. In the vicinity
of Dasdehnen, to the east of TJIsit,
we drove back a German attack and
succeeded in almost completely anni
hilating one of Wie German battalions
opposed to us. Following this en
counter our cavalry moved forward
in the direction of Sierpo, traveling
^ver the road to Rypin.
Judging from the corpses aban
doned by the Germans in front of our
positions, they would appear to have
tens of thousands of men in the six
dost In dead and wounded several
days’ fighting in front of Uorjimow,
Ootimine. and Wola (Szydlowiecka).
InMhe Carpathians the fighting
continues In the vicinity of Rartfleld
and Svfdhlk. The enemy here under
took active operations, but they did
not continue, and they retired leaving
prisoners in our hands. In the vicin
ity of Mount Loupkow we continued
our pursuit of the enemy, and in one
day we captured sixty-nine officers.
&.00 men and eighteen machine guoe

their way over the Tukhplka Pans,
delivered during the day orFebrhary
7 no fewer than twenty-two violent
attacks upon certain heights In the
region of Koilouwka. occupied by ns
The Germans came forward to this
attack several ranks deep, presenting*
a full front line.
Uunder our violent cross-fire the
Germans here twice took possession
of a certain height, but they were
dislodged by counter-attacks deliver
ed by our infantry. This success was
preceded by long and violent hand-to-
hand fighting with the bayonet,
which is without precodeat in his
tory All the side of this hill was
covefed by German corpses. In front
of one of our battalions more than
1,000 German dead were counted.
London reports: "In Poland and
the Carpathians the battle* which
have been under way for weeks are
progressing but various official re
ports lack details.
“The AustHans still claim advances
In the Carpathian mountains and re
port Russian repulses.
In the West, particularly in the
Argonne and the Vosges, there have
been German attacks on the allied
lines, and Nleuport and the district
along the Yser has been heavily bom
barded."

Drafts of notes to Great Britain
and Germany—one relative to the
use of jthe American flag by the Brit
ish liner Lusitania and the other con
cerning the attitude of the German
navy toward neutral vessels in the
newly prescribed sea zones of war—
were given personal consideration by
President Wilson Tuesday, after con
ferences with Secretary Bryan and-
cabinet members.
It is understood that no protest
against any violation of international
law is to be directed to either coun
try. The administration view of the
Lusitania’s hoisting of the American
flag is that it is a customary war ruse.
But at the same time representations
pointing out that neutral commerce
might suffer through continued prac
tice of the stratagem were deemed
advisable.
As for the German proclamation
that it may be difficult to determine
the character of a vessel in the war
zones because of misuse of neutral
flags, the United States intends to
ask for more Information as to meth
ods by which the iprder will be car
ried out.
It ylH point out that it expects
every effort to be made to verify Ihe
nature of ships flying neutral ags.
assuming that due respect for the
safety of Americans will be given.

SAVES NEW RULES.
Lieutenant-Governor Bethea Breaks
Tie in the Senate.
— Lieut. Got. Bethea saved the re
quirement fev-re-enroiment erery-two
years in the Democratic primary,
when he broke a tie in the Senate
late Thursday night and cast his vote
for the rules as they stand, calling
for a new enrolment of voters every
two years.
Senator R. D. Epps of Sumter had
offered an amendment to the bill put
ting the Democratic rules into law.
In effect, requiring an enrolment of
voters only every six years. A mo
tion to lay this amendment on the
table resulted in a tie, 19 to 19, and
Lletit. Gov. Bethea broke the tie by
voting to table the amendment and
4hus saved the rules as they exist.
The bill enacting into law thp
rules of the Democratic party was
then given third reading by a vote
of 23 to 1(5 arid ordered sent to the
House. * . \'-*X —.V> - 1 1

BOUSE BAS NEW PLAN
President Wilson Still Remains 'De
termined to • Force Passage of
Measure, Extra Session Seems Nec
essary—-House Leaders Plan to
W ork Bill in a&JDnnadmeot.
Republicans and Democratic insur
gents fighting the ship bill, with the
aid of Senators Norris and Kenyon,
Progressive Republicans, who have
supported the measure, foreqd* the
Senate to adjourn Wednesday'tiight
after the longest continuous session
in its history. Debate had lasted
fifty-four hours and eleven minutes.
Adjournment came on a motion
made by'‘Senator O’Gorman, carried
48 to 46, after Senator Norris, de
ploring the filibuster, had proclaimed
his conclusion that opponents of the
bill could filibuster it to death.
"I am not finding fault with sena
tors,’’ he said, "for doing what under
the rules they have a perfect right
to do. But these filibusters are in
creasing. It is unfortunate that we
can not decide any great issue with
out a test of physical strength. It is
a relic of barbarism.
“We stay here night after night,"
he said, “and are dragged out of our
beds to answer a roll call when there
are three or four senators in the
chamber. It is ludicrous, it is (polish.
This flood of talk has no object but
to kill time, and kill thff members.
You know and I know and God know/j
that with about one-half of the mem
bers of the Senate determined to cd^
tinue this filibuster they can aWc,-
lutely prevent a vote on this bill until
after March 4."
Though disappointed over the loss
of support from, the Progressive Re
publicans, administration leaders
from the Senate would not admit the
cause was lost. Anticipating a break
in the Senate, President Wilson had
conferred throughout the day with
those leaders otr plans to get the bill
before the House and such a course
may be taken, though Senate Repub
licans insist their fight will continue
until the end of the session, no mat
ter what the administration forces
may accomplish In the House.
A compromise proposal designed
to extricate the admln'stration sbtp
purchase bill from the deadlock that
has blocked its passage in the Sen
ate. and to avert an extra session was
put forward Thursday night by House
Democrats through Representative
Ketehln of North Carolina, chosen
majority leader of the next House
The new plan, which proses the
passage of the shipping bill as a tem
porary emergency measure, was de
veloped at conferences on the House
side of the capitol while the Heaate
marked time with both opponents
and supporters of the measure sparr
ing for advantage An adjournment
of the Senate advanced the plans of
the Democratic leaders to force a clo
ture rule that would end the deter
mined filibuster.
As announced by Representative
Ktichin the compromise contemplates
the passage through the House next
week of the bill suggested by Senator
Gorce with an amendment that
would terminate the government's
activities in the shipping business
two years after the close of the Euro
pean war. Despite President Wil
son's announced determination to
stand by the Senate bill in its present
form. Representative Kltchin said.
House leade’s. anxious to avoid an
extra session, proposed to pqt ihia_
■ftieasure'before the Senate, and give
the president an opportunity to ac
cept it in the event of the failure of
the pending bill.
The desire of both Republicans
Democrats to avoid an extra sessioii^Kjt,
Representative Kitchln said, prob 1 ^^
ably would give the proposed plan
sufficient support to get it through
before March 4.
Representative Kltchin, Majority
Leader Underwocd, Representative
Adamson and other House leaders,
after confer-ing with President Wil
son, at the White House Thursday,
returned to the (japitol with the as
surance that despite the gloomy out
look in the Senate, the president was
still determined to press the ship pur
chase bill even to the point of call
ing an extra session. The House '
leade s told the president that they
believed that an extr- session would
prove futile, because the ship bill
would fail to get a majority in the
next House.
In the Senate the day again was
devoted to speeches and to informal
conferences after numerous notices
had been given of a cloture rule to
limit debate. Senator Lee of Ten
nessee late in the day gave notice of
an amendment to the rules to pro
vide for fixing a time for a vote on
any pending bill whenever the Sen
ate shouM sustain a declaration that
obstructive tactics were being em
ployed. Settqtor Norris, who gave
notice several days ago of a rule to
limit debate on a bill to three hours
for each senator, had his amendment
referred to the committee on rules,
which wilj meet tp-pprrow. _
