OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS
BUSSIAN
The ttustlan occupation of Plllkallen
was preceded by n day's shelling of
the place, during which tho garrison

The present phase of the war In

The attempts of the Itusslans to out
flank the Austrian army near Nowy
Sandec, In order to open the way for
another attack against Cracow, has
led to a counter-offensive by Archduko
Joseph Ferdinand. The nrmy of Arch
duke Joseph Ferdinand, supported by
heavy artillery, Is pressing In the ell
lection of Tarnow to get In the rear
of the Husslau nrmy In Gallcla to cut
Its communication.
equally Ineffective was the Ttusslan
Invasion of Hungary nnd the attempt
to Invade Transylvania from Duko
wlna to Isolntc the army of General
Fischer and to Isolate our troops In
the Carpathians. While In Poland tho
Germans nro pushing their trenches
nearer ami nearer to Wat saw, tho
Teutonic allies are also gaining ground
In the Carpathians. We are In pos
Mcsslon of tho ground from Nagy-Ag
Valley to Luwlkowna, and again hold
Toionya Pass. In llukowlna the en

In tho western part of the Argonne

day brought a gain of considerable
ground. Wo captured 12 oftlcers,
731 ptivates and also took 12 ma

enemy's losses were heavy, between
400 nnd 600 bodies being left on tho .,

The only official flguies of present com

"War Office last month, which gave I,
2.10,000 as tho German strength In the
West, and 021.00Q as the Gernhn s.trongtu

much stronger. The London War Ofllce,
however, has announced thero nro now
four British armies In France. Tho
strength of n British nrmy probably Is
two army corps of 35,000 men each. Tills
would make the British btrength on tho

gians have been able to replace casual
ties to thn extent of keeping up their

cannot be grenter than 1,700,000 becauso

be as much as this. At most, therefore,

BETHLEHEM, Pa., Jnn. 30. Tho orders
for shrapnel given by tho British Govern
ment to the Bethlehem Steel Company
are said to require the manufacture ot
millions of shells. Hundreds of thou
sands have already been made. The sheila
are of various sizes, tho smallest threo
inches.
All tho Bhrapnel Is loaded with leaden
bullets half an Inch in diameter. The
shell Is supposed to explode over the en
emy, the leaden bullets raining down on
him.
The shrapnel Is Bhlpped to Canada,
Company's officials refuse to say where It
Is shipped from tho Dominion. The fact
that the calibres are of various etzes leads
to the belief that some of It goes to the
French aa well as to tho British, That
which Is sont to Vancouver undoubtedly
goes, to tha Russian army.
The company has Invented and per
footed Us own machinery for the produc
tion of tho bullets, It resembs ma
chinery that cuts nalt. An , eccentric
operates a cutter, through which fass
leaden bands, which coma In enormous
rolls. Millions' of the bullets 'are made
dally. Some estlmato of the enormous
quantities of bullets required can be made
fro the fact that a three-Inch, shell con
tains 240 of them, and a five-Inch shell
about 500.
The company has all but completed its
first order for field pieces. The lot con
sists of 2S90 JS-pounders. These guns are
about seven feet In length. The forglpgj
and boring are comparatively easily done,
but great care must be exercised In the

tho western Allies now have 2,030,000

the Gorman strength In the west.
Kltchoncr's new nrmy of n million men
ought to bo fully equipped by the spring,
but It Is Improbable that tho French will
be nblo to add greatly to their own
forces. Filling tho dcploted French ranks
ban undoubtedly made heavy demands on
Franco's trained men. Tho Frcncli forco
probably cannot bo Increased to more
than 2,000,000 by tho Bprlng. making tho

about 3,300,000,
It la reasonablo to nssumo that Ger
many can meet this now forco man for
man. But It will not be necessary for their
to do so, If n purely defensive campaign
Is decided upon, since tho Allies havo
been ablo to hold their own with numeri
cal Inferiority. Germany probnbly will
consider herself capable of meeting tlio
twom''000 lroops ,vlth no moro than
IN THE EASTERN' THEATRE.
The spring campaign In tho West, there
fore,' may seo 0,300,000 men pitted against
each other. Tho Eastern situation may
develop so as to compel Germany to do
plete still further her Western fighting
force, and this is, In fact, the unknown
part'af,tb,9,prpblem. To Germany's pres
eilttEaatern strength of 92t,000 must bo
added probably 1,500,000 Austrinns, making
a totul of 2,t,000. Russia probably has
approximately tho samo number. Austria
and Germany may be nble to ralso their
Joint strengtlt to 3,000,000 men by spring.
Whether Itussia can surpass this Is Im
probablo, but tho matter Is not certain. If
tlio Slavs can do no moro than equal the
strength of the Teutonic nllianco there
will bo a totnl of 6,000,000 men In the East

and Servian campaigns. Possibly 700,000

this plant and that C000 workmen had
been advertised for. Tho official state
ment of tho company In rpgaid to tills
story Is that "tho whole thing is so far
only on paper."
In regard to rumors that tho Foro Itiver
shipyard is busy with war orders and
that tho Schwab plants along tho Dela
ware nro clamoring for work, It Is stated
that tho Qulncy plant has llttlo work on
hand now except the completion of the
second Argentine battleship and tho con
struction of n Chilean cruiser. It la de
clared that no work on European war
orders Is being done.
Several facta have como out, however,
in regard to Mr. Schwab's deBlre to own
n big shipyard. Several years ago, when
ho, acquired the Fore River yard, It was
stated that ho had -bought It to com
pote with tho world on a broad gauge
basis; but he was virtually compelled to
take over tho Massachusetts plant, which
was in financial dlftlculttes, so as not to
fall .In fulfilling his Argontlno contract.
Tho 'Fore River Company, In fact, owed
him eo much for material supplied on tho
South American battteshlp that he had
to pay very llttlo rash. Ho was looking
for a big shipyard nt tho time, and If
lie had not taken tlio Foro River plant
ho would have tried to buy Cramps' ship
yard. .
In regard to the raising of ocean
freight ratea It was said by transporta
tion men connected with tho company
that ocean freights Wero nt present very
unstable, and "a matter of bargaining."
As to war material, tha transportation
was n question for the purchaser. If tho
English Government bought a cannon or
some wheat in the United States It was
up to the British Admiralty to sea that
the gun or the grain got across tho At
lantic. "Rut suppose tho steamship man would
demand a prohibitive rate?"
"Ho is too wiser to do' that," waa the
reply. "Tha ocean carrier needs busi
ness. There have been Jnstancea in
which the carrier demanded 13 cents per
100. a rate that would, have cut off all
profit. The steamship people were glad
to como down to 10 tents per 100,"

"BOBBY" BERESFORD,
HORSE BUYER, SEEKS
ACTIVE WAR SERVICE
Has Purchased 10,000
Mounts for French, But
Now Wants Position in
British Army.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30. The Hon. Seton
Robert Bcresford, hotter known as "Bob
by" Reresford, brother of Lord Declcs
and brother-in-law of tho former Vivien
Gould, will sail fiom New York today
for Franco.
During tho last threo months tho Hon.
Seton Robert has superintended tho pur
chase and shipment of moro than 10,000
horses for tho French cavalry and
artillery.
"In tho meantime," he said, "I liavo
been In hard personal training nnd nm
prepared to accept any kind of a position
for active scrvlco in tho Uritlsh army.
"I'eoplo In America scorn to think that
nnybody In England can go to the front,
but I know: that thero aro tons of thou
sands of men moro than 35 years old
who havo been rejected by tho recruiting
olilces."
In tho course ot his purchase and ship
ment of American horses tho Hon. Bobby
has directed his efforts largely toward
decreasing tho proportions of deaths of
horses at sen. According to his expcrl
enco light sorrel animals aro so easllj
affected by mal do mcr that It Is useless
tc ship them.
"Wnshy chestnuts, as wcl call them, aro
tho most delicate; grays tho stoutest," ho
sums It up. "The artillery hoiaes I havo
shipped havo been strong, serviceable
animnls. I understand that ono shipload
of 1000 arrived In splendid condition, und
In tho nick of tlmo to assist In taking
100 guns In action.
"Owing chiefly to tho fact that ships
havo been difficult to obtain, compara
tively few horses havo so far left this
country. Since tho outbreak of the war
only about 63,000 have Btnrted for Europe.
Ships aro plentiful now and the monstrous
shipping rates havo been reduced. Tho
demand for horso flesh created by tho
war waa a godsend to farmers and small
owners in .tho United States, as thero
has been very small local demand.
