RUSSIANS FAIL IN CRACOWATTACKS British Lose 100 In Air Raid on Reserve Supply Base. 4 ALLIES’ SHIPS ARE SUNK Eight Hungarian Townships Held by Russian Army and Several Divisions of Foe Cornered, Says PetrogradFighting in Alsace and Along Heights of Meuse Continues. The correspondent of the Zeitung Am Mittag at Austrian headquarters says the Russians are conducting violent frontal attacks on the trian positions along the DunajSg River east of Cracow and are bending every effort to push toward the fortress, which has been their goal for two months. These attacks have been repulsed with heavy losses. German aviators successfully dropped explosive bombs on the British reserve ammunition stores in the outskirts of Koudekerke, near Dunkirk, France, destroying the ammunition and killing or wounding 100 soldiers. Several buildings were.set on fire. The German steamship Otavi has landed at Las Palmas, Canary Islands, a hundred sailors transferred to her by the German auxiliary cruiser' Knxnprinz Wilhelm, representing the crqws of four French and British vessels captured and sunk by the warship. These craft were the French steamer Mont Agel, sunk Dec. 4; the British steamer Bellevue, sunk on the same day; the French sailing vessel Annie Marie, sunk on Sept. 17, and the French ship Union,,sunk on Nov. 22. A Petrograd dispatch published in I’lnformation reports that the Russians have occupied eight Hungarian townships and that several divisions ol the Austrian army are surrounded in the Carpathians. PARIS — Although the weather is improving there has been only minor fighting along the northern battle front. Latest reports indicate the Germans are concentrating for a new offensive to the east and southeast of Ypres and La Bassee. Fresh troops have been brought up, supported by-artillery, and it is believed that as soon as the inundated area freezes solid a forward movement will be attempted.. Meanwhile the fighting contiAres in Alsace. In the vicinity of Steinbach positions have been taken and retaken as many as half a dozen times. The latest reports received indicated a sub stantial gain for the French troops. However, both sides are being strong ly re-enforeed and there are indications that the vicinity has only begun. ' \ The intensely cold weather is interfering seriously with operations. It is almost impossible to move artillery through the mountain passes, and as a result most of the fighting is now confined to infantry encounters. Along the heights of the Meuse the artillery duel continues without interruption. Both sides are so strongly intrenched that frontal assaults by infantry are out of the question. Naval Battle on Vistula Certain. FETROGRAD — Naval battles on the Vistula are now certain. The Germans, apparently taking a leaf out of the Russian book, have armored and armed river steamers in the Vyshegrad region. The Russians already have steamers in action here, having used them to prevent the Germans forcing a crossing from the island which is in the middle of the river at this point. It is believed here the Germans are hopeful of forcing a crossing under protection of the guns of their steamers and the Russians have sent additional craft to attack them and preyent this. Pass Report Success. i Russian success Is reported from south of Plock on the Gorlice road. The Germans attacked in force, but were trapped in a -weeds and forced tc retreat with a loss of many prisoners and a machine gun. ? The fighting in the Caucasus continues with the Russians regaining the advantage. Following an all-day fight at Ardagan, the Turkish positions were parried at the point of the bayonet and are now in the possession of the Russians who are strongly fortifying them. The battle of Sarykamysh continues -• with a slight gain for the Russians. It is not likely, however, that a decisive ' result will be attained for several days. I Anti-Segregation Act Valid. ’ SAN FRANCISCO — Three federal Judges, sitting as a special court, sustained the constitutionality of the ‘'red light” abatement act, passed by the California legislature and ratified .by the people. The decision will be lurried on appeal to the supreme court of the United States. f Twelve Reverted Killed in Wreck. \ WACO, TEXAS — Twelve are re ported dead in the wreck of a limited passenger train on the Missouri, Kansa and Texas railway twelve miles sxuUj of Denison. . ■_. - »

HALDANE SOURED BY BRITISH PRESS lord High Chancellor May Resign Soon, Report. CLAIMED HE IS PRO-GERMAN Friction May Have Been Caused by . Incipient Scandal Over Date of Rejl ceipts of U. S. Note—Pres* Holds Him Responsible For Some Misfortunes of Army. NEW YORK — Last Saturday it was cabled from London that it was probable that Lord Haldane, lord higl chancellor of Great Britain, would resign shortly. No reason was ghen, but it was thought likely that the incipient scandal over the date of the receipt of'President Wilson’s note might have caused friction which would have forced him out.: It will be remembered that Sir Edward Grey was away the day Ambassador Page delivered this note and Lord Haldane was in charge of the foreign office. The note was handed to him. Ambassador Page got his receipt, and then the news was made public. Sir Edward Grey received the note the next day, and the British pressxassjrtned that this was the first official delivery. There were charges of lack of courtesy on the part of American officials for making public the contents of the note, but Ambassador Page showed the date of his receipt and the scandal died quickly. Says He’s Pro-German. But nbw comes a story by mail, which shows that the British pfess has beer, openly attacking L°rd Haldane as a pro-German, and accusing, him of responsibility for some of the misfortunes of the army. Lord Haldane has had a distinguished public career, having been secretary of war from 1905 until he became lord high chancellor in 1912. The mail story says that the feeling against (Lord Haldane, lord high chancellor, is exceedingly bitter in some quarters and several of the Lcndon newspapers have directed a bitter crusade against him. Arnold White, in the Daily Express.has written a strong article under the title of “The Case Against Lord Haldane.” His opening paragraph follows: Haldane Thrice Deceiver, Charge. L “If a man deceives you once that is his fault; if he deceives you twice that is your fault; if,he deceives you three times it is because he takes you for a fool, and because you are a fool. The English are not fools; they are sleepy. Our nation has been deceived three times by Lord Haldane. It was deceived about the army; it was deceived about Germany and it was deceived into thinking that 10,000 pounds a year was sufficient money to Insure that the spoken w.ord of the lord high chancellor might be implicitly trusted.” ' T The writer calls his article an “Indictment of Ix»rd Haldane,” and says that the first count against him is that when secretary of, war he recommended the abolition of ten battalions of the line. This loss and the loss of the reserve which would have been created if they had not been abolished wc v.ld hav&?given Great Britain 50,000 additional trained troops to aid the, expeditionary force sent into Belgium shortly after the start of the war. Another accusation is that Lord Haldane struck out of his territorial bill the provisions for training youths in the manual. Called North Ocean German Sea. ” At another time Lord Haldane referred to the north ocean as the German ocean. Mr. White feels bitter about this. • Mr. White says further: “The second point on which Lord Haldane has forfeited the confidence of the country is in reference to the intentions of Germany. At Lord Haldane*® house Ramsay MacDonald was presented tc the German emperor. We know the result. If Ramsay MacDonald’s angiophbbia is equivalent to a reinforcement of three divisions to the Germans,- what is the strategical equivalent of Lord Haldane’s loyalty to the German emperor. “On the subject of spies, Lord Haldane has misled the nation. He fears •injustice* to Germans and spies. I fear injustice to Great Britain. “The soldiers and officers who have died in Flanders because one battalion had to do the work of four imp not be superhuman, but they were not given a dog’s chance either in numbers or equipment. Nothing buL-lhe supreme ability of the generals and the magnificent unapproachable cour age of the British and Irish saved them from extermination. “Those of us who have lost friends and relations killed or broke in the war no longer desire to stand between Lcrd Haldane and his well earned rest. If he remains in office the next result may be a shameful peace.” Robbed at $1,000,000 Debut. ST.
