PARIS, Feb. 18—A report has
reached here that typhoid fever has
broken out among the Austrian and

Russia and sent to Siberia. The epi
demic is reported to be beyond the

stubborn resistance in being dislodg
ed from their trenches.
Admits Russians Hold Passes.
It is admitted by the German war
office that the Russians hold Neu
Sandec and Sanok passes in the Car

the report sent from Petrograd that
the Austrians have been driven from
the other Carpathian passes.
Austrians Recapture Kolomea.
Advices from Vienna state that the

tion in Galicia near the northern
order of Bukowlna.
Allies Are Gaining Ground.
LONDON, Feb. 18—The offensive
movement of the Allies against the
German positions along the western
battle front has resulted in signal
advances at many points along the

the French troops north of Arras,
where the Germans were driven from
their first and second line of defenses.
Advances were also made in the Ar
gonhe, Alsace and Vosges districts.

NUT HINDENBURG
10 LEAD IH WEST
Germans Clammoring for His Trans
fer From Eastern Battle Line
To Western.
AMSTERDAM. Feb. 1*.—'Travelers
reaching this city from Germany state
that the people of Berlin are again
urging the kaiser to transfer Gen.
IJindenburg from the eastern battle
line to command the troops in nor
thern France and Belgium.
Gen. Hindenburg’s brilliant strategy
by which he was able to crush the
Russian armies in East Prussia,
where nearly seventy thousand pris
oners and scores'of cannon were cap
tured, has made him the idol of the
nation.
The German populace believe that
with Hindenburg in command on the
western battle line that the deadlock
which has existed for more than three
months would soon be broken and
the way cleared for the Germans to
reach the coast. Military authorities
believe that Kaiser Wilhelm will re
fuse to transfer Gen. Hindenburg as
his thorough knowledge of the east
ern frontier has enabled him to quiet
ly assemble his forces and crush the
Russians before reinforcements could
be brought to their support.
Three times Gen. Hindenburg has
led his troops eastward from Posen
and scored two successes. It only re
mains for his command to capture
the city of Warsaw to have accom
plished his purpose in the east.
