DEnLIN, Jan, IB.
Rejoicing over tho victory on the. Alsno
JMrer was increased today by reports
that the German troops had been Able to
capture- a bridge near Missy and cnln a
foothold on the south bank ot the Alsne,
from which they were preparing to
launch an attack upon Soissons.
PARIS, Jan. 16.
Trench artillery, stationed on the south
bank of the swollen Alsne, between Vlc-Kur-Alsno
arid Comley, la conducting a
violent bombardm.ont of tho German po
sitions on tha north bank. This cannon
ade Is supposed to bo the prelude of
,, tfQrous counter attacks by the French.

A report was current here that tho
Germans might try to debouch across the

In failure for tho Invaders, who would
have to suffer enormous losses In tho

WORK, NOT CHARITY,
ZIEGLER'S SLOGAN;
AWARDS CONTRACTS
Health Director Takes First
Step in Solving City Prob
lem of Aiding 150,000
Unemployed.
"Worklnitmen today are netting for work
not clinrlty."
This Is tho slogan adopted by Doctor
Zlegler, of the Department ot Health and
Charities, who today took tho first step
In n movement to Induce Philadelphia to
help Itself In solving tha problem of as
sisting the 1(0,000 unemployed working
men In this city.
As soon ns Doctor Zlcsler took office
ho was confronted with tho need of Im
tncdlnto help for the great nrmy of men
who nro out of work. At onco, practical
means to this end BUKgested themselves
to him, and today ho awarded nil tho
bulldlnr? contracts In his department for
which bids had been nsked to tho success
ful bidders nnd ordered work to bo begun
at onco. In announcing tho awards Dl-
rector Zlegler mndo the following state
ment: doctoh zinaLnn'3 statement.
Tho lively competition In bids for
new construction nt the Philadelphia
Hospital for Contagious Diseases, 2d
and Luzerne streets, and nt thu Homo
for tho Indigent, Ho mesburg, la , sug
gests that this Is a good time to build.
A total of 20 bids were received for
tho powor plant at Jlolincsburg, while
2S bidders wero In competition for tha
work at tho Philadelphia Hospital for
Contnglous Diseases. ,
The Department of Public Health
and charities has awarded contracts
ulthln tho past 24 hours for nil of this
work for which money Is available,
and building will begin at once. This
will lmvo nn appreciable effect on un
employment. The city could do no
better work In tho direction of reliev
ing unemployment than to start now
nil tho public work for which monoy
could be mada available.
There remains in this department
about J1CO.000 for pow'er plant, and con
duits at Byberry. I nm trjlng to
famillarlzo myself with tho problems
of that Institution as quickly as pos
sible, so that wo may proceed with
Its construction, nnd thus glvo addi
tional work to mechanics mid laborers
who aro now out of employment.
rrivnte individuals could do much to
relieve conditions of unemployment by
entering at this time upon any building
operations thut are In contemplation
for tho near future. They would find,
ns wo have found, that contrnctors
nro keen to secure work Just now nnd
that bidding would bo lively. Such
conditions always bring about the beat
posslblo prlcca for such work, so that
It would probably be more economical
to build now than later, working
men today nro asking for work not
charity.
CHAltlTT NOT WANTED.
In discussing tho general situation In
the city Doctor Zlegler spoke of tho Neces
sity of Borne organized movement on the
patt of the employers of this city and
thoso having money, property and busi
ness Interests to give work to the un
employed and help them to help them
selves. Doctor Zlegler thinks that tho great
majority of tha men who need Jobs nro
self-respecting, honest and earnest men
who will work at anything rather than bo
dependent for n mlnuto upon charity. He
Bald that he had not been In his present
ofllce long ono'ugh as jet to become
familiar with all of tho contributory
causes of the hard times, but that he
realized the necessity of organization nnd
unselfish co-operation among the many
institutions that exist to help the needy
and deserving, In this respect Doctor
Zlegler said:
"It Is impossible for this department
or any department to control trado and
commerce so far as concerns employ
ment. It Is the function nnd desire of
this department to so regulate the dis
pensing of charity that tho greatest good
shall bo accomplished wltn every dollar
and every ounce- of energy that we pos
sess. It was with this in mind that I
awarded thoso contracts for nnincdlito
operation and I urgo upon the builders
the need and merit of beginning opera
tions at onco and employing as many men
at good living wages as the sevoral Jobs
demand.
"I believe that a movement for the
employment of tho working men will
carry a message of vast importance to
many persons In private life who have
money to spend In building and other
lines, but who have delayed operations to
await tho passing of tho present much
talked of hard times. It Is true that the
general Idea obtains that there is upon
us a period of financial depression, but
I think that tho general acceptance of
that Idea together with the widespread
tendency to delay nil Investments until
times shall bo better, contributes to
wards making that golden area of re
newed prosperity mote remote.
"My Idea Is that we should all wake
up and get together and produce among
ourselves and within ourselves conditions
that will give the working man work to
do, wages with which to feed and clothe
his family. This all can be done with
no guts towards tho cause except Intel
llgent co-operation. Factories that are
closed, that when running manufacture
non-perishable products, can run as well
now as by and by. It Is In the by-and-by
that the working man will not need a
Job. It Is today that calls for work
"In awarding these contracts to and
offering Jobs for some hundreds of men I
have done all that my departmental
duties permit and I and those who think
with me In this matter ask the assistance
of the great public. Can we not Join
hands and work together to tho common
end of making the times what they should
be rluht here In this great big, warm
hearted, generous town of ours?"

Vregny, northwest of Soissons, is now in possession of the Kaiser's
forces, who, in driving the French across the Aisnc at that point, have
advanced to within 38 miles of the outer forts of Paris, Northeast of
Roye, the Allies claim a gain, but it in no way compensates for the
loss on the Aisne, which is admitted to be the most notable suffered
by cither side in many weeks. Elsewhere along the battle line from
the sea to the Vosges the hostile armies, in general, maintain the
positions they have occupied since October,
VICTORY AT SOISSONS POINTS
TO DRIVE ON PARIS IN SPRING
German Success on Aisne Most Significant Since Winter
Campaign Started Bitter Chagrin in England.
By J, W. T. MASON
NEW YORK, Jan. 16. The German suc
cess in driving tlie iTcncn across ine
Aisnc east of Soissons Is tho most Im
portant victory either sldo has won in
tho western war area since wlntor began.
Ito present significance is negligible, but.
If the Gormans can maintain their posi
tion en the south of tha river, they will
have a permanent crossing for future
operations toward Paris.
Whether the spring campaign will so de
velop us to permit a new drive on Pnrlt,
cannot be known now. But certainly this
possibility exists, nnd In It Is tho warrant
for Germany's suddenly developed Sols
hons offensive. Tho ICateer, recovered
from his recent Illness, Beems to have
selected the Alsne front for his con
valescent visit to tho firing line, which In
Itself suggests that more than casual Im
portance is nttached by the Germans to
the seizure of crossings over the Alsne.
At no other plaro havo the Germans
secured a lodgment south of tha Alsne.
If they hold their newly won positions
they will be able to threaten tho rear of
the French communications nt Soissons,
and If u serious German effort Is mado
to reach Paris once more the difficulty of
RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE
RECAPTURES PLOCK
Continued from Tiute One
dun, Is getting more and more precarious.
The French have pushed forward their
lines until they can carry on a continuous
bombardment against the German
trenches.
If the Germnns nro forced to retreat
ncross the Jleusc at St. Mlhlel It will
release a French force of approximately
60,000 men for operations In Upper Alsace
or agnlnst the Germans In the Woevro
district. In nddltlon to this. It would re
move all danger to tho forts guarding
Verdun on tho southwest, tho south and
tho fcoutheast.
Violent lighting continues In Cham
pagne, around Mesnll. Perthse and
Beausejour. whero part of the army of
tho German Crown Trlnca Is engaged.
CANADIAN CHARGE SAVES
DAY IN YPRES ACTION
Dominion Iteglment Ilouts Oermnns
in "Dead Man's Alley,"
LONDON, Jan. 16 The Canadian regi
ment at tho front has distinguished itself
In a stirring bayonet charge at a place
near Ypres known ns "Dead Man's Alley,"
according to the Dally Chronicle's cor
respondent In Northeast France.
"The Germans," the correspondent says,
"had moved a great mass of men against
this Bpot on the British front. Mud
helped the thin British line to hold, but
the hondrs were barely even until the
Canadian regiment hurried up from the
rear,
"Suddenly there was heard a roar of
voices and a long line of slouch-hatted
men with fixed bayoneta rushed forward
with the battle cry 'For Canada and
Old England!'
"The Germans broke before the charge,
which carried everything before It.
Trench after trench was taken and the
Canadians did not stop until the Gormans
brought up their artillery.
"The ground gained extended over a
mile In front."
MONTENEGRINS IN DAXMATIA

OENEVA, Jan. 16. Tha Montenegrin

trance of the Oulf of Cattaro, a. distance
of 40 miles.

tho Allies' defense of tho Alsne positions
will be much Increased.
Tlie effort to attribute tho French de
feat to the flooded condition of tho Alsno
Is Inappropriate. If tho Hood destroyed
French bridges nnd mada It Impossible
to send reinforcements across tho river,
similar obstruction ought to havo pre
vented the Oermnns crossing the stream.
It Is probablo that the prime reason for
tho Tronch defeat was tho cxlstenco of
a weak spot In tho French line north of
tho Alsne, which was discovered by the
Germans. Undermanned French trenches
and tho Inspiration given tho Gorman
troops by the presenco of the supreme
war lord doubtless caused what tho Ber
lin official report rightly characterizes
as "a brilliant feat for our troops."
In England, tho French reverse will fcn
received with much privately expressed
personal bitterness. Tho positions lost by
tho French wero orlglnolly captured from
the Germans by Sir John French's army
In the battle of the Alsne. They nre a
part of tho lino north of tho Alsno which
cost so much British blood to occupy and
which emphasized tho brilliant fighting
qualities of the British regulars. For tho
ground to be lost onco more, after the
Urltlsh army had been moved elsewhere
on tho firing line. Is bound to cause deep
chagrin In England nnd an echo of Lorn
Kltchenor's epigram, "Tho war won't bo
begun until May."
KILLING OF PERSIANS

Governors Slain by Turks at Occu
pation of Tabriz.
LONDON. Jan. 16. The Turkish troops
who recently Invaded Persia are now
advancing to tho Interior of tho coun

Teheran. Tho message follows:
"It is reported that the Turks, when
they occupied Tabriz, In Azerbaijan
Province, a few days ngo, ahot the
Persian Governors of the towns of
Soujbulak, Maragha and Burat, through
which they passed In making their way

"Tho Bmall Turkish force which went

It Is believed theso acts will force Per
