WEATHER MAKES POLAND QUIET
BERLIN, Jan. 16.—In the eastern theater the situa
tion is the same as it has been since the Germans took pos
ser ju of the region around Bolimow. Rainy and gloomy
weather has prevented important fighting for the past
couple of days. The lack of cold weather has been a draw
back to the German advance as it is almost impossible to
move troops and heavy guns through the muddy soil. The
Germans, however, have occupied splendid positions and
every move since the capture of Lodz has been an advance.
Germany now has more than three hundred thousand
Russian prisoners but more serious to the enemy still is
the loss of an enormous quantity of guns, great and smal,’
and munitions of war. Marshal von Hindenburg enjoys
the full confidence of the people of this nation and they
are only waiting for the time which they believe certain
to come when he will crush the Russian opposition deci
sively. This city is again celebrating a great victory. 1 his
time it is a victory against the French at boissons where
the German troops carried all before them and inflicted
frightful losses on the enemy who were forced to abandon
their strong positions and retire beyond the Aisne. This
success has driven the German wedge further into the al
lied line and threatens the communications of the f reneh
on both sides so seriously that new positions may have to
be taken up bv them for a great distance on either side.
EXPECT LULL IN WAR
LONDON. Jan. 16—With the exception possibly of;
a few isolated battles in different places military experts
here do not expect decisive fighting for another month.
The weather almost in all parts of the great war arenas ist
unfavorable to large operations and so much difficulty is
found in protecting the troops from the inclemency of the
weather that forward movements are almost impossible
on a large scale. Snow particularly impedes these move
ments. While the bad weather is to the disadvantage of j
the Germans in Northern Poland it impedes the Russian
advance in Galicia and Hungary and particularly in the
Carpathians.

SOME BOERS STILL FIGHT
CAPETOWN, Jan. 16.—While the Boer rebellion is
practically crushed there are still some bands of Boers at
large in the veldt. Colonel Maritz, who was driven across
the German border, is at the head of a mixed body of Ger
mans and Boers and is threatening to cross the border
into British territory again but there is a strong force
of loyal troops ready to check the movement.
No one seems to know what will be done with General
De Wet. So far as can be learned he has not yet been
brought to trial and it is supposed that he will be held un
til the close of the war when he may avoid the extreme
penalty for treason. All the people of the Transvaal and
the Orange River colony are now liable to military ser
vice under the British flag. This enables Prime Ministei
Botha to secure forces against the rebellious Boers and
prevents the rebels from securing recruits.
RUSSIA TRIES NEW MOVE
PETROGRAD, Jan. 16.—A new development in the
war situation is that the Russians have started offensive
movements towards new points in East Prussia and Po
sen The German positions facing the advance along
those lines are believed to be much weaker than where
the lighting has been proceeding for some weeks. It is
admitted by the war office that changes in plans are inad
visable in some respects but the commander in chief de
clares that certain developments have made the alteration
necessary.
