The Russian of ficial report chronicling the death of 6000 Germans and tho capture of many more In this operation admits that tho Warsaw defenders were driven bade to the Second line of trenches. Cossack bands have forced a passage of. tho Vistula, northwest of Wlocla wek, in the general movement on Thorn, and aro 25 miles from tho Prus sian stronghold on tho southeast. The rijMlan army In Northwest Prussia is gaining ground Near Blesun, a Cossack regiment gained a position only 10 miles from the'RUBslan ' trorVJer.

According to the legend, the odd little anmal pops out of his hole to get a line on the general weather:ondl tlons, and if the sun is shining enough for him to see even the tiniest bit of his own 'shadow he pops back Into his hole and We are supposed to resign ourselves to six weeks more of winter. At least that has been the custom. There Is some little difference this year, however, due to tho fact that the "more" in the story, a far as the present season is concerned, 1s a somewhat meaningless word. We would like some one to dare predict what U in store for us it the summer develops an Increase In temperature over the win ter In proportion to previous years.

GERMANS DRIVE RUSSIANS BACK TOWARD WARSAW Petrograd Admits Retirement to Bee ona Trench Line. PETJtOaUAD, Teb. 2. Field Marshal von Itlndenburg's new thrust at Warsaw alrcndy has cost the Germnns 0000 killed nnd many more In wounded nnd prisoners, according to ad missions made by captives and announced In today's official Russian report, which admits tho Czar's forces were driven to their second llnoof trenches. General attack along the entire Warsaw front lias developed. Admission Is mado hero of a tenacious offensive from tho Junction of tho Bzura and Vistula to the Plllca. Military activity recently has been con fined to limited spheres, but tha events of the last few days are regarded as In dicative of a change In tactics, Especial rlgnincanco Is attached to tho great vio lence) with which tho Germans are resum ing their attacks In the Wyszogrod dis trict, at the Junction of the Bzura and Vistula Rivers, and further south near Bollmow. Tho battling along tho Bzurn, west of Warsaw, has cost tho Germans heavy losses. General von Mackensen hurled six regiments against the Russian posi tions southwest of Sochaczew In repeated charges for four days. His object was to cut a path toward Warsaw that would Cause nn abandonment of tho Russian campaigns toward Thorn and Kocn'gs berg. i Heavy artillery tore great gaps In the Germans' lines. While tho Infantry was engaged a force of German sappers tun neled their wny nearly 100 yards to the first line of Russian trenches. By chnnca a Russlnn officer discovered the mouth of the tunnel ns a little group of Germans came 'pouring out. They were made pris oners. Two machine guns were rushed to tho mouth of the tunnel and n com pany of Germans was slaughtered under ground. By weight of numbers the Germans forced the Czar's army at this point to retire from their first line of trenches nnd followed up this advantage by shell ing the Russians out of their second line positions. Reinforcements wcro brought up and the Germans forced to evacuate the captured positions, with the exception or 100 yards of trenches on the Russian right. "N RUSSIANS STRIKE AT FOE ON SOUTH SIDE OF VISTULA Force Passage of Strategic Blver Northwest of Wloclawek. -rETROGRAD. Feb. 2. RusBlan forces operating north of tho Vistula have forced a passage to the left bank. Desperate fighting took place at the villages of Makow and Dyblln on tho south side. - Ae a result of the Russian drive the Gormans, who have held the southern shore of tho river for some time, were at this point thrown back to the lino of villages of Weleze and Kastgnewo, north west of Wloclawek. The ofllctal report containing details of these movements Is silent as to their extent. It Is probable that the Vistula passage was forced by bodies of Cossacks and otjher cavalry. The Cossocks have been particularly acjlvo In tho general campaign in this zone, the objective bl which Is Thorn. The new drlvo brinks tho Czar's forces to a point 25 miles south east of Thorn, and may Indicate an en deavor to reach the fortress' from this di rection by an auxiliary movement. If the operation is one of great strength which apparently Is not the case, It may mean the development of a menace to tho rear of the German army fronting Warsaw. The Germans In retreating abandoned many of their wounded at Makow. Other War News on Pago 4 VON KLUK'S SON KILLED Slain by British Worship Fire at Middlekerke. COPENHAGEN, Feb. 2.

ROMANCE OF TRAGIC TINGE REVEALED BY DETECTIVE'S.'BLUPF Man Suspected of Robbery Confesses Murder in Tur key in Reply to Chance Query. A romance with a tragic termination, the threads of which lend to a remote Turkish village In Asia Minor, developed todny In what was at first an Insignifi cant robbery case. Tho prlclpals In tho caso aro two Turks, one living and one dead, n beautiful Turkish woman and two City Hall detectives. Tho romance may bo entitled "The Man Who Slandered Himself." Detectives Hodge and Oscar Brown were detailed to tho Marceau Studio, 1609 Chestnut street, last Monday, to in vestigate a roDbery entailing a loss of $32. Armon Roublan, a tall, handsome Turk employed at the studio, was among thoso questioned by the detectives. To carry out un Idea which flashed through his brain as tha detectives wero about to leaio the studio, Brown fixed an enig matic gaze upon the Turk and asked htm: "You were arrested before, weren't you? "I was," replied the Turk. "Now let's see, I think It was for murder," ventured the detective, carrying his "bluff" a bit furthor. "Yes," drawled out tho Turk, "It hap pened In Turkey." "Oh. we know all about It," rejoined Brown. "Would you mind accompanying us to City Hall?" After nouban was In a cell, the de tectives communicated with the Turkish Consul In Now York, and received from him the Information that his compatriot was wanted In Turkey for murder. It developed that In a, auarrel over a beau tiful woman, In the village of Marash, Asiatic Turkey, B,oublan killed his rival suitor, noublan was sentenced td prison after the murder, but made his escape In 1911 by bribing the keeper and made his way Into this country through mys terious channels, Boublan, "the Turk who slandered him self," was today confined In a closed room at the Immigration Station at Gloucester, from where he will be de ported to Turkey as quickly as the au thorities can arrange for the trip.

VANCEBOPO, Me., Feb. 2 -The steel bridge over the Bt. Croix Itlver. from Vanccboro, Me , to McAdam Junction. N. B., nn important link In tho Maine Cen tral and the .Canadlrn Pacific Rallwav over w hlch moBt of tho Avar shipments of food and horsrs have been Bent to St. John, N. B., was damaged by a dynamite explosion shortly after 1 o'clock this morning. A; Oerman officer, who gave his name as "Werner Van Horn, was arrested on American soil, nnd confessed to trying to blow up the bridge. Van Horn confessed not only to causing tho explosion that damaged the Candlnn end of the brlge, but said he had also In tended d)nnmitlng the Maine Central bridge at Lambert Lake, eight miles be low Vanceboro, over which tho Candlan Pacific runs, and also the International Bridge between Calais, Me., and St. Ste phens, N. II, He said he had been In Mexico nnd be fore coming to Maine had attempted un successfully to get back to Germany. The blowing up of the bridge, he said, had been prearranged, and the dynamite was delivered to him at Vanceboro by a man he had never seen before nnd who left him Immediately after placing the explosive In his hands. DYNAMITE CAP IN POCKET. A dynamite cap, which he had in his pocket, Van Horn gave to George B. Hoss, the deputy Bherlfl who arrested him, as a souvenir. Showing the officers the map of this section of Maine and In dicating tho bridge on It, he asked If the Vanceboro bridge was the one he had dynamited. He has been here since Saturday, when he came to Vanceboro from New York, and has had plenty of time to familiarize himself with the surrounding).. Boss, who went to Van Horn's room at the Page Hotel to arrest him this morn ing, stated that when he and the other officers entered tho room, Van Horn darted townrd him with a revolver, but Boss took the weapon from him. Van Horn was examined by ofllclals of Washington County. Acting District At torney Chapman, of Portland, was at once notified of tho nrreat and at the some time the Federal authorities at Washington wiro apprised of the situa tion. HAD QEBMAN FLAG AND CHAP.T, No charge has been made again Van Horn. Word Is awaited from the United States Marshal In regard to what shall be done with the prisoner. Recording to Boss, Van Horn snld It was "within his rlqht to blow up the bridge aa an act of war," He speaks broken English. A German flag and a chart of this sec tion were found In Van Horn's pockets. The- Governor of the province of New Brunswick has been notified by Canadian Pacific ofllclals and has ordered an Inves tigation begun at once. The railroad ofll clals asked that this Investigation be In ternational In scope. The eastern part of the stone piers Which support the bridge was damaged by some high explosive. The detonation rocked (he houses In Vanceboro, shattered the windows of the railroad station and alarmed the residents on the Canadian side of the river, CHOSE STORMY NIGHT FOB DEED, The steel girders of the last two span at the Canadian end of the bridge were strained out of shape. Not only was the third pier, that toward the Canadian end of the bridge, damaged, bi)t It Is believed that the straining of the steel structure has impaired to a great extent the entire bridge, and extensive repairs may b necessary. Jtullroad ofllclals said the bridge could he repaired within two or three das. It i possible that Van Horn used nitro glycerin. Neither the Maine Central nor the Ca nadlan Pacific Hallway can advance any motive- other than ope arising from the war shipments There has been no guard of Canadian soldiers on duty at the bridge. Hull road men intimated, before the ar rest of Van Horn, thatOermana or Ger man sympathizers eeizeU the opportu nity on a stormy night, at a time when traffic over the bridge was slack, to out into the transportation line over which Canada has been shipping most of Its prc ylsjons to its opn port at St Johns, The bridge was dynamited." said perlntendent Grout, of the Canadian Pa cific, who U in direct charge of that part CoadstU es yst low BASKETBALL RESULTS.
