PRZEMYSL LACKS SUPPLIES
PETROGRAD, Dec. 31.—The defenders of the Aus
trian fortress of Premysl are reduced to desperate straits
according to the official announcement made here this
afternoon. The food supply has been reduced to such an
i xtent that men have been on half rations for some time.
An Austrian aeroplane was brought down yesterday when
it was attempting to fly into the fortress and it was found
to be loaded with provisions.

LEIBKXECHT AGITATING
LONDON, Dec. 31.—Carl Liebknechc, the socialist
who was the only member of the German Reichstag to
vote against the new war credit, has sent a New Years
message to the British socialists in which he calls upon the
socialists of the world to unit in a war against war. He
declares that the masses everywhere loathe this war and
that among the German workers there is much greater op
position than is generally suppossed.
TOKIO, Dec. 31.—The project of sending a Japanese
army to Europe is gathering force in Japan. It is under
stood that France and Russian favor the idea, but that
Great Britain hesitates to call upon her ally to go to
Europe.
It is estimated that an army of 300,000(the number
under consideration) would cost 5 yen per soldier daily
or about $1,500,000 for all. The fleet of transports would
go by way of Suez and in addition to a total equipment of
arms would have to convey food for many months, in
cluding vast quantities of rice. The idea is that the ex
penses would be covered by a European loan.
Baron Kato, minister, for Foreign Affairs, is quoted
as being opposed to the project.
DUNKIRK, France, Dec. 30.—Gabriol Poulain, who
won the world's professional bicycle sprint championship
in 1905, and 6 and Lapize, an Olympic game champion and
a widely known professional rider have been killed in ac
tion. Among those reported captured by the Germans
are Trousellier, a famous road rider; Brocco, a six-day j
racer: Berthet, a former holder of the world’s one-hour
record; and Hourlier, last year’s sprint champion. I
