FRENCH CHECK KAISER'S ARMY ABOUTPOLAND Official Statement Estimates German Loss at 40,000 in Killed and WoundedSevere Cold Causes Losses. BY FRANKLIN P. MERRICK, Staff Correspondent for International News Service. i PARIS, Feb. 12. German attacks in Poland appear to be completely checked and the Kaiser's forces have lost forty thousand men in killed alone, accordln to an official statement dealing, -with the war in the eastern theatre issued by the war office this afternoon. The statement says: "The German attacks in Poland appear to have been completely checked by the Russians. The losses inflicted : by the Czar's troops surpass the worst carnage since the war began. The , number of Germans killed number 4v,000. "The reasons for the failure of the German attacks are the severe cold, it being seven or eight degrees below sero, and the inability of the Germans to attack except in close formation. Mow Down Germans. "An eye-witness of the-battle says the Russian mitilleuses mowed down the rangs of the enemy like a scythe. Mountains of dead were heaped before the trenches. "The screams and groans of the wounded were terrifying. At night under the light of our searchlights, we could see the wounded heave up in a solid mass trying to extricate themselves from the heap. After two hours all became qtriet. They, too, had died." Whipped to a standstill in the most violent artillery duel in Alace since . the war started, the Germans at the other end of the line today violently bombarded Nieuport and the banks of the Yser where the allies are entrenched. No material damage was done by the German's big guns: The allies fire, it is stated, was most effective. Tremendous slaughter marks the terrific battle around Bagatelle. After four days of desperate lighting, the Argonne battle reached its climax when the Germans charged down on the Franch fortifications at Marie Therse in solid columns, four abreast, across a front more than 400 yards wide. The guns of the fort poured a deadly shell-fire into the solid ranks as they were well within range. The line of solumns wavered under the withering fire, but still they came on.

When within easy rifle range the quick firers and musketry of the French sent in a shower of bullets that was a veritable hurricane of death.

DEMOCRATS LAY PLANS TO CRUSH PRIMARY LAWS Leaders Mark ' Registration Bill and State-wide Prohibition Measure for Death in State Assembly. BY LEASED WIRE. . INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 12 Ways

and means for killing three pending bills in the house are being sought by Democratic leaders of that body,- The bills marked for destruction are .the Jones primary election measure, the bill changing the present registration law and the state-wide prohibition measure. A committee of three representa tives was appointed to study the question and report to the Democratic caucus called for Monday night at the Dennison hotel. The JOnes primary bill was not brought up in the caucus last night, but it was learned today that plans were being laid to defeat the measure by substituting a legal primary sys tem or providing for a referendum bill on the proposition in 1916. The most opposition to the statewide primary bill, apparently springs from the reason that it was introduced by a Republican and the Democratic representatives do not desire to pass the bill and allow the Republicans to take the credit for it The same feeling exists in regard to the Eschbach bill to give the money derived from auto licenses to the county treasuries. At 'st night's caucus Representative Hickman, the youngest member of the house, delivered a speech in which he urged the Democrats to "get together" on the Jones bill before it is allowed to come before the house for action. VALENTINE DEALERS OBJECT TO NEGLECT Young Persons Turn From Paper Remembrances to Floral Gifts. Valentine day has lost its charm for Richmond, according to dealers in valentine supplies and the greetings Sunday occasioned by the old tradition will be fewer in this city than they have been in many years. Florists' efforts to draw the prevailing style away from elaborate paper creations to bouquets of flowers has had some effect in desreasing the popularity of valentine day. This effort is of recent origin in Richmond and has been popular with the younger set. . The post office will follow its annual custom of remaining open on Lincoln's birthday to avoid the Valentine deluge. This is not expected to be as large as usual but no chances will be taken on being swamped Sat- ... Jay by closing on Friday. ' Since Valentine day comes on Sunday this year, the usual Valentine dances have not been scheduled and Valentine parties have not been announced by society.
