WAR SUMMARY
FUR PAST WEEK
Compilao from the dispatches re
oeived up to Saturday night, March 6.
The marine operations hate occupied
the greater share of attention during
practically the whole week although
such military operations as were in
progress except in tin- West have been
• >f tremendous Importune? and con
ducted on a huge scale, notably in the
Austrian province of Oulioia. Desul
tory righting has .continued in the West
and the Herman lines which nearh
encompass Heims have been more
lightly drawn and the bombardment of
the city has continued. While Helms
may be In no immediate danger of
falling, owing to the encompassing
cordon of French troops through which
tho Hermans seem unable to advance,
the city Itself is undoubtedly being
slowly battered to pieces. The Her
mans claim undisputed gains in tlie
Vosges, having dislodged itu* French
forces from their positions near Hla
monl and iitonville early in tlie week.
The Hermans claims are further sub
stantiated by the statement of the
French War ufflee admitting slight
Herman gains in that soctlon.
The Germans, however, lost consider
able ground in the Argonne and Anas
regions. French attacks on the Her
man lines in the Champagne district
were severely repulsed. Later In the
Week the allies renew Oil the offensive
in the Vosges and claimed some gains.
The French lines in both l.’pper and
Lower Alsace are reported intact with
occasional contact with the enemy.
Week end dispatches reported re
newed Herman activity in ttie whole
northeastern section of France. The'
week's dispatches indicate that the sit
uation is very little changed over the!
entire battle lino I’ndoubtedly ligltt
mg has been of almost daily occurrenci
along practically the whole lino. The
general situation of the buttle lines,
their proximity and the necessity of
keeping the enemy in check seems as
surance that righting it' some character,
probably artillery dueling, was In
steady progress. The absence of
specific data does not interfere with
the theory that much skirmishing and
many sorties in force have taken place,
but os suc-h have not been productive
of definite results they are not record
ed. As far as indicated the lines are
but little changed and the results are
practically nil except possibly at Reims.
At most, what was lost In one section
lias been gained in another: thus
neither side can be said to have ob
tained any particular advantage
The operations of the Eastern zone
have been marked by two sudden and
extraordinary developments, namely:
the sudden change of tactics of ihe
Hermans In their offensive against
Warsaw and the remarkable counter

jetruke by which the Russians praetic
|ally regained control of the entire Ga
jliclan province of the Austrian Em
pire. Along the Polish front the Rus
sians have maintained a steady ag
gressive at neatly all points at ami
below I’rzasnyz with apparent suc
cess The furious oll'ensiie against
the German lines before Flock and
southward toward the Bzura was seem
ingly maintained throughout ttie- week
The German offensive was Uirecied
altm-st entirely against tin- line of foi
titled positions extending southwest
from Grodno to a point along the Vis
tula between Warsaw and Flock. The
fortress of ossowetz has borne ihe
brunt of the German attack which is
intended to cut tlie main line of com
munication behind and to the east of
Warsaw. Success in this direction
would enuhle ihe Germans to strike a
powerful and possibly a vital blow
against the Polish capital, and unless
checked by an excellently executed
stratageticul movement, might suc
ceed in isolating Warsaw and tlie de
fending Russian forces. This plan is
apparently in keeping with ihe an
flounced German intention or March f.ih,
to stretch a battlellnc from Soldtiu on
the East Prussian bonier, southward
lo the northern angle of Houma nip. As
an offset to Ihe new German move
ui'iH the Russians hate ilia ug ui a led a
vigorous offensive along the old buttle
front west of Warsaw lesuiting m con
sideruble gains along the East Prussian
border, north of Przasnyz. The last
accounts Indicated that the Russians
were pressing steadily westward along
liie East Prussian border in the direc
ti -n of Thorn. 1‘iie German dispatches
inntiini ihs \ig--r of this movement
and admit that u German army corps
was sated only with difficulty.
The week-end dispatches from Ger
man sources indicate Glut Hie Ger
mans are on Hie defensit e at all points,
Hie concluding statement being to the
effect that the Germune were holding
their lines at Augustowa and Ossowetz.
A summary of the situuilun in Hie
Poland section indicates that the bul
Slice of lavoi is ip present luigely with
the Russians The batik- lines at pre
sent apparently extend from some point
at ot near Augustowa southwest to
I*i zosnyz, encompassing that city,
thence southward near Pluck, Gods
and slightly eastward to the Galician
borders.
In the Uuliciun districts the must
remarkable mot eluents of the yyintei
have taken place, ’rile Russian forces,
renewing the offensty e when almost
driven from Hie province, have com
pletely turned the tables on the enemy
and are tgaiii pressing on the eastern
borders of Hungary. The Austrian
army of defense at Przeraysl have been
almost completely isolated and with

In order to convince the public of Nome that the statements oi
the Nugget, as to the tourist question were not mere, vaporing®, that
\ there would indeed be a serious attempt to divert to Alaska a portion
of that vast army of sightseers who will visit the Pacific Slope during
the coming summer, the Nugget lias taken special pains to ascertain
with certainty the full extent of the movement and also to learn the
opinions of those best qualified to know as to it- probable success.
That the statements published at intervals in the Nugget arc not idle
buncombe, that it is an absolute and irrefutable fact that a most
tremendous movement with a hacking which practically assures it
success, has been started. and that, without a question of a doubt, a
vast number of sightseer- will journey to the shores of Alaska during
■i the coming season, is attested by the following facts obtained by the
W Nugget's Seattle correspondent under instructions to secure onh
^ such data as was absolutely reliable and such opinion- as were worthy
1 of careful consideration.
The following arc the results of the Nugget'- investigations
The Alaska and Pacific Coast Steamship companies are both making
concerted efforts to increase the tourist trade, not only to Southeast
» cm Alaska but to Seward Peninsula as well.
The Alaska Steamship Company has already announced that

Traffic Manager Zipf, of the White I hi"", predicts unprecedented
