LATE WAR NEWS SUM Continued From Flrat I'age. Poland which are attempting to ad vance toward the West Prussian borde were repulsed. Detailed descriptions of the battl< along the Aisne, supplementing th brief announcements of the Frepch am German War Offices, show that thi fighting rivalled in ferocity that wnici occurred along the Yser canal in Flan ders, when the Germans attempted ti break through to the English channel although the number of men engagei was smaller. In the suburbs of Sois sons were hand-to-hand encounters o the most desperate nature, in which th' French Moroccan regiments distin guished themselves, using their rifles a clubs after their bayonets had beei bent or broken in the struggle. Advices from French sources say tha the allied front, in the positions ta ken up after the retreat, is stronge than ever. London suggest? that th Germans may follow up their victor; by inaugurating another forwari movement. Berlin considers that th general offensive movement of the al lies, said to have been ordered a monti ago by General Joft're, has broken dowr Late reports from Pctrograd emplia size the completeness oi the victor; said to have been gained over the Turk ish troops. Of the forces at Kara-Ui gan, according to the Russian War Of fice, large numbers were killed and th survivors were put to flight. In Poland the Germans have agaii attacked the Russians west of Warsaw but apparently have been unable thu far to break through the line of dc fense. In North Poland the Russians con tinue to advance toward the Prussia: border. COTTON SHIPS RUN BETWEEN U. S. AND CONTINENTAL PORT! London, .Tan. 18, 3.39 A.

DETAILS OF DESPERATE FIGHT AT SOISSONS WHEN GERMANS ROUTED ALLIES Soissons, via Paris, Jan. IS, 5.05 A. 'M.—The rear guard of the Moroccan rifle regiments who covered the retreat of the .French center across the river on the 14th, acquitted themselves with distinction. They had been posted in the village of Crouy. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the Germans debauched in the road and ad vanced toward the village. The rifle men carefully concealed their quick firers and posted themsolves on. each side of tho road. Not a sound was made and nothing was allowed to show above tho blackened ruins. The Germans thought .the road was clear and ran to the villngo to get shelter from the French heavy artillery. When they were within 500 "yards of the place the riflemen opened fire suddenly. The Ger mans were surprised. There was no room to deploy and they fell in heaps. Those who could retreated to the brook of 'Brave. Reinforced they reformed their ranks and attempted to turn the French po sition from the east side of the village. Three companies or riflemen were de tached and charged. The shock was * awful. Bayonets were twisted out of shape and then the dusky soldiers used the butts of their rifles. For a second time the Germans gave way. Tho Moroccans were told to hold the place till 5 p. ni. Tt was then t> o'clock but they still refused to retire. They did so only after a stall' officer was sent to them twice with an order for retreat. During the night the (icrman artillery roared ceaselessly in a bom bardment of Soissons but at dawn of the loth the artillery slackened r.nd gave place to inafnrtv fire. The good practice of the French three-inch guns, guided by aeroplanes, prevented German reinforcements from debouching from the western slope of the Vregny plateau and the Germans, exhausted and discouraged at their lack of success, retired in a body to Crouy at noon.
