Washington.—Nothing will be per-
mitted to interfere with the unanim-
ous consent agreement in the house
of representatives which makes the
pending business there a vote on
recommitting one of the currency bills
for the purpose of including the cot-
ton loan idea pending at the close of
Inst session. The motion to recom-
mit will be debated. In that event
1ft*. Henry of Texas, who is directing
the cotton loan matter, will endeavor
to have the bill adopted so a measure
of cotton relief can he added In the
senate if the disposition is to do so.
The currency bill lh question is that
allowing 100 per cent emergency cur-
rency on commercial paper to banks,
in place of 30 per cent. The banking
nod currency committee wants to
withdraw the bill, explaining that the
emergency for it passed with inaug-
uration of the federal reserve system.
* Several of the appropriation bills
are ready for Introduction in the
house, which indicates that such mea-
sures are to be given preference, with
the view of completing the necessary
legislation by March 4.
< Practically all tho gossip is over
the expression concerning the army
and navy, which have been brought
into the limelight by the Gardner res-
olution dealing with the country's un-
preparedness tor war with "a first-
class naval power.
Claim Resolution is Politics.
Representative Gardner is asking
for a hearing before the house rules
* committee foe a special rule. The
Gardiner movement is looked upon as
a political propaganda for the purpose
of embarrassing the administration.
Democratic members are largely
against the movement and particular,

delegations.

vance of the Russians into Hungary to
afford them relief. Russia has been
sending Cossack raiding parties
through the Carpathians with the ob-
ject of diverting Austria's attention,
but the dual monarchy seemingly is
determined to finish with Servia first.
SERVIA’S END SEEN
Austria Takes Capital and Destroys
One-third of Serb Forces in Four
Months—Big Battles Occur
In Western Poland.
(iSummary of Eve?its.)
Since the extraordinary meet-
ing of the Italian parliament late
last week, followed by a special
conference of the ministry, in
which Italy was shown to be over-
whelmingly favorable to the^ Al-
lies, } it is announced that the
Southern Europe kingdom may go
to war within two weeks.
“Italy’s sympathies and her sense
of obligation draw her to the side of
the members of the Triple Entente,”
says a semi-official dispatch from
Rome. “The nation has been unable
to enter the war heretofore because
of lack of military equipment and
naval readiness. During the last four
months these deficiences have been
remedied, however, and the country
will be well able to look after her
best interests from this time forward.”
In a notable speech to the Italian
parliament Prime Minister Salandra
declared there is no clause in the
treaty with Germany and Austria
which in any way binds Italy to aid
those nations. “If these countries,
which have failed In their coercive
measures to draw Italy into the con-
flict, persist in accusing Italy of dis-
loyally,” Salandra said, “Italy will
publish the full text of this confiden-
tial treaty and show the world that
her present position is well Justified.”
Servia’s Finish Seen.
The end of Servia is in sighL Re-
ports from war headquarters in south-
eastern Europe indicate that the lit-
tle mountain kingdom which started
the present conflict ia about to be
wiped out. Servia has fought Austria,
her big northern neighbor for cen-
turies, trying to preserve her racial
and national independence—but the
end is in sight.
Despatches from London, Petrograd
and Vienna say that 100,000 of the
Servian army—one-third of her male
population—have been killed or
wounded since the war began. Be-
cause of the greater conflict else-
where in Europe the campaign in the
southeast has gone along with scant
notice, but it has beenf a war of exter-
mination. In the operations of Aus-
tria against the Serbs in the last
three weeks, 20,000 Serbs have be4n
taken prisoner. .
Austrians Take Belgrade.
Belgrade, capital of Servia until the
beginning of the war, the city where
the first heavy fighting of the war
occurred, has been occupied’ by tl9
Austrians. The Serbs held out four
months, then evacuated the place.
Belgrad# was frequently under bom-
bardment early in the war and but for
the general European conflict which
compelled Austria to send her troops
against Russia must have fallen an
easy prey to Servia’s big neighbor. Ap-
parently Austria miscalculated the na-
ture of the Servian opposition and only
after Bosnia was invaded did she send
a sufficient force against the Servians
to drive them back.
Now they are being forced backward
and are eagerly looking for the ad-

Warsaw Safe Again.
Russian Poland is still the center
of interest in the war situation so far
as military operations are concerned.
Reports from the rival headquarters
indicate that any decisive result on
either side is still in the balance, al-
though on the face of the known facts
the conviction is growing that the
German general, Mackensen, has done
at Lodz what Bazaine in the Franeo-
Prussian was failed to do at Metz, be
has saved his army after it waa en-
circled by the enemy.
Both Claim Success.
Official news from Poland continues
to be scanty, and, with'" both head-
quarters claiming success, it ia im-
possible to say how the battle is go-
ihg. Of its intensity, however, there
can be no doubt.
The Germans, when they started
for Warsaw, dashed full tilt into a
mass of Russian troops and forced
their way so far in that the Russians
closed on them. Thig_ was taken in
Petrograd to mean tha^\B9B>e of the
German divisions had been cut off
and that their surrender or annihila-
tion was inevitable.
The losses, with the desperate
fighting that has been going on for a
fortnight, must necessarily be very
heavy on both sides.
Germans Escape Trap.
A Beflin dispatch says that a great
story of success for the German troops
has come to light in the fighting near
Lodz. The German forces were oper-
ating against the right flank and ia
the rear of the Russians when they,
in their turn, were attacked by Rus-
sians who pressed them hard, coming
from the east and south.
The German troops turned from the
Russians with whom they were en-
gaged and fought a very bitter three-,
day figbt and broke through the Rus-
sian ring. In doing so they brought
With them twelve thousand prisoners
as well as twenty-five guns and lost
only one German gun.
-Russians Capture Passes.
The Russian troops after a fight
lasting ten days, captured, November
28, the Austrian positiotofWhich pro-
tected the passes in thev&rpathians,
extending fifty vefsts (about thirty
three miles) from Koneczna. which
situated north of Bartfeld is far an
Schuzko, situated south of-Meto La
bores. The Russians in this district
captured cannons, machine guns and
many prisoners. * .
In the first half of November, they
claim, they captured fifty thousand
Austro-Hungarian soldiers and ji9$g
hundred officers. At Flock the Rus-
sian forces aelsed tour ships laden
with machine guns and munitions.
Germans Renew the Attack.
The German artillery is still ham-
mering at the allied lines between
Ypres and 'Arras. Reports reaching
Paris say re-enforcements continued
to come up for the Germans in^thls sec-
tion and the full quota of 100,000 ad-
ditional men is expected to be on tho
firing line, within the next few days.
More Activity in West.
While there fe. every indication that
another big batch; is imminent in the
West, there is no evidence that it ac-
tually has begun. -There has beem
fighting in Flanders, but this doubtless
is the result of an attempt by the Al-
lies to take so mb advanced positions.
There also are reports that the. Ger-
mans have evacuated several villages
on thq Yser canal and are concentrat-
ing on new positions. The British
have taken over command of thexY6er
region, and, like ^be French,, have been
strongly reinforced. It Is believed that
on the first sign bf a German move-
ment to the East in any considerable
force, the Allies will take the offen-
sive.
Germans Gathering Near Ostend.
The .Germans have evacuated sev-
eral villages north ot the Yser. They
are believed to be concentrating large
forces-south of Ostend for a decisive
battle. Reinforcements of one hun-
dred and sixty thousand men are said
to baev arrived during the last few
days. ...
The harbor works at Zeebrugge have
been put out of commission as a re-
sult of a renewed1 bombardment by the
British fleet The docks and various
other works casnot be used now. It is
statbd, and the harbor "has been closed
completely. The submarines there are
unable to leave.
Germans Destroy Ypres.
The Germans have destroyed the
old and magnificent city of Ypren, in
southwestern Belgium. Failing to
capture the place and hold It aa a
startegic* position against tbe Allies,
the kaiser's army drew up to tho
northward an armored train of heavy
artillery and systematically battered
the ctiy to pieces in two days. Tbta
is the gist of a report given in tho
latest French official bulletin.
