BRITISH ATTACK ANTWERP
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 14.—British aviators dropped
bombs today on the German positions in Antwerp but the
extent of the damage inflicted has not been learned. They
flew, it is said, all the way from the English coast so that
the feat was a really remarkable one. The German guns
tried hard to bring them down but it is declared that this
effort did not succeed.
FIGHTING AT PERTHES
LONDON. Jan. 14.—Severe fighting is also proceed
ing today near Perthes further east from Soissons in
France. From all accounts it seems to be the intention of
the Germans to break through the allied lines in the cen
ter. The two points now attacked near Soissons and
Perthes are not far apart and both are the closest points
of the battle line to Paris.
QUIET IN FLANDERS
LONDON. Jan. 14.—Comparative quiet reigns along
the lines in Flanders according to the official communique
this afternoon. It is assumed that the Germans are con
centrating all their efforts on the lighting in the center of
the line near Soissons and that they have decided to bring
a decision in that quarter if possible. The attempt to
reach the French coast seems to have been abandoned for
the present at least although some military writers warn]
the allies that the activity of the Germans in the center
may be intended to draw reinforcements from the al
lied left and so weaken the French and British line near
the coast. That there is an ominous movement of troops
all over Germany at present seems to be clear and the
opinion is gaining ground that the enemy is about to make
a herculean effort to break down opposition before the
new British army is ready to take the field.

afternoon states that the Russian forces are engaged in;
heavy fighting with the Turks in Caucasia. It is said that
the Turks have suffered big losses. The result of the fight-!

on Tabriz.

SERVIANS PAUSE
VIENNA, Jan. 14.—No fighting on the Servian bor-j
der has been reported for a couple of days. The Austrian
forces in the vicinity are strongly entrenched and cannot
be successfully attacked by any force the Servians could
send against them An advance will be made into Servian
territory when the climatic conditions are favorable, lo
day’s official announcement states that the Russians have
been checked everywhere in their attempt to invade Hun
garian territory and a forward movement on the part of
the Austrian army will be soon undertaken. The Austrian
commander of the fortress of Przemysl has sent word

fully expected Russia will be defeated and the Russian
army retreating into the heart of Russian territory. j

LONDON, Jan. 14.—Lord Raglan,
Governor of the Isle of Man, is
placed in a curious position by the
present war. Although he is a British
peer, his island is regarded as not j
forming part of the United Kingdom, j
and when war broke out it announced
its neutrality. Nevertheless, the Isle
of Man Territorials are a portion of j
one of the Liverpool regiments, and,
as such have gone away as a part of
Kitchener’s army.
Meanwhile, notwithstanding the
neutrality declaration, there are
British troops on the island, and aj
detention camp for prisoners has been
established there.
The Isle of Man is administered
according to its own laws and is not
bound by any acts of the Imperial
Parliament unless specially mentioned
in them. The island is not represented
in the House of Commons.
