Austro-German Forces j
Capture Important
Naval Base of Czar
in Russian Poland
HEAVY FIGHTING
IN THAT REGION;
Capture of Kielce Follows the Initiation
of New Offensive Movement By the
German and Austrian Armies Along
Easterfo Battle Front
Berlin, Jan. 26, via London, 12.-5
F. M.—A dispatch received to-day from
Cracow, Galicia, says that Austro-Ger
man forces have occupied Kielce, Bus- .
Kian Poland.
Kielce is the capital of the Russian
province of that name and lies in
Southern Poland, about 50 miles north
of the border of the Austrian province j
of Galioja. In that region has occurred 1
some of the heaviest lighting of the !
eastern campaign. Kielce has been a
Russian base and is of considerable |
strategic value because of the fact that
it is the most important railroad junc
tion northeast of Cracow. Its capture,
if effected, follows the initiation of the
new offensive movement by the Ger- 1
man and Austrian armies all along the |
eastern battl ru.it.

4.45 A. M. —The heavy artillery of
the British has destroyed au enormous i
gun which the Germans were placing on I
a hill about a mile behind their first
line of trenches, and about two miles
from Festubert. with the object of si
lencing the English bowitsers aud bom
barding Bethune. The position of the
big gun was marked by a British avi
ator and the fourth shell from the Brit
ish guns demolished it.
The British gunners then directed j
their fire on a group of German ar- j
tillervnien engaged in placiug a similar
gun a mile further behind, scattering!
them with a few well-timed shells.
They also smashed three pumps brought
up by the Germans to empty water out
of their trenches.
LATE WAR NEWS SUWffIARY
The German armies of the west have
suddenly taken the offensive, deliver
ing violent attacks simultaneously at
several points. The German War Office
report to-day claims an important vic
tory over British troops along La Bas
see canal, in France, just south of the
Belgian border. Positions of the Brit
ish extending over about two-thirds of
a mile, including two strong points of
support, are said to have been taken
by storm and held in the face of coun
ter attacks The French official state
ment. however does not concede this
victory to the Germans. It admits that
they made progress temporarily, but as
rerts that subsequently they were re- i
pulsed.
Both communications report progress
for the Germans near Craonne. where
trenches of the allies were taken and !
retained in part. Elsewhere, according
to the French version of the fighting,
the Germans were repulsed, with the
possible exception of Alsace. It is said
that the Germans bombarded Scnt
hcim. This town lies six miles south- j

"NO HURRY,"
SAYS OFFICIALS
City Commissioners Admit That Compli
cations in the Matter of Acquiring
Property Titles Will Cause Long
Delay in Removal of Settlement
" HardscrabWe" property owners
whose homes thu < itv proposes to raze
to permit changing the lines and re
opening that section of North Front
street, between Herr and (Jalder streets,
need now have no fear that they will
tie as»koil or compelled to vacate their
home on April 1, next, as had been an
nounced, or even before the same date
in 1916, so the City Commissioners said
this afternoon.
Without going into detail the Com
missioners announced that the "Hard
scrabble" case looks to them like one
: that will mean years of litigation in
the courts beforsp all of the property
; owners and the City cam be satisfied.
There is no reason for hurry, they say
; now.
Officially no action was taken on the
; matter at the Commissioners' meeting
this afternoon but after the adjourn
ment Commissioner Lynch raised the
l>oint that the property owners and ten
ants, who are eager to know whether
they must vacate by April 1, next,
i should be given some satisfaction.
"Tell them that it will be at. least, a
I year before they will hiave to got out,''
j suggeste>l Mr. Gorgas. "There is no im
j mediate necessity for hurrying this
thing along. Besides it is too impor
tant a question to rush through."
Then it was suggested that the es
timates of damages to 'be sustained by
the property owners through the sur
render of their homes, which recently
were given to the City Solicitor by the
property owners, should be considered
and sown action taken. A tentative
plan wae suggested under which the
City Solicitor would ascertain if all or
< any nu iber of these estimates are fair
I and should he accepted, and if all are
\ not eqintaWe, the legal advisor then
| would be directed—probably next Tues
| day—to ask the Court to appoint a
j board of viewers who would tix the preii
cnt values of the real estate.
That work alone would require
months, and the Commissioners now lig
i ore that they will not be ready to or
j dcr the razing of the houses before the
spring of If> 1 H ait d possibly not then.
A few of the estimated property vnl
| nes, as submitted, the Commissioners
| ligure, should be accepted, but the ma
jority of them, they contend, are so
| high as to call for the appointment of
the viewing board. To those whoso

to protect the property owner. Of
