to the attempted Austrian offensive,
region Just now with great Interest and
diKpatchcs from Petrograd say that the
Russians are pinning high hopes on this
offensive thrust near the German line.
Elsewhere they are planning merely to

Other news dinpatihcs tell of the move

(irriMai Plnn Offensive In West.
In the western arena of the war the
battle at Solssons still ranks as the only
great conflict during many weeks. There
has been fighting at many points, but a
trench here and a few yards there Is all
that either ldo has gained. . If the Ger
man plan is a renewed general offensive
or a serious concentrated attack at some
strategic point, It has not yet ma
terialized. The Turks claim to have arrested the
Russian advance In the Caucasus, but
they give no details. Tho British press
continues to assert that the propose.!
Turkish Invasion of Egypt Is doomed to
failure, but It gives credence to many
reports to tho effect that such Invasion
surely will be attempted.
Intense Suffering: 1 n Poland.
The suffering In Relgluin. which the help
of America has gone so far to rellove. Is
for the moment In the background when
compared to the deatitution of non-combatants
In Palestine, Poland and the
Carpathians. From Palestine, Jewish
colonists continue to flee to Egypt, being
conveyed as rapidly as possible by tho
American cruiser Tennessee. The desti
tution of Poland is said to be terrible,
and a new appeal for aid has been Issued
by Ignace Paderewskl and Henryk Sien
klewlcz, who speak for all factions. It
Is said that the situation In Poland is far
worse than it Is In Belgium. The fleeing
peoplo of Rukowina are living like ani
mals In caves and fighting with wolves
for such ftustenance as tho snow-covered
country affords.

gratn.i-lt was staler! today that In thai
conference between Arthur Spragne,
York, Harry It. Fleharty, Omaha, ant
tha secretary of the treasury a surprise
wss given tho Nebraska pacificators by
Mr. McAdoo, when ho announced that h
would Insist upon a lawyer being ap
pointed to the vacant Internal revenue)
oilleetorshtp In Nebraska, because thersj
are so many legal complications arising;
nut tit the Income tax law and the war
revenue law that a trained legal mind
Is needed In that position.
Swain of Oreeley, who was recom
mended by Senator Hitchcock for the Ne
braska mnrshalshlp. Is a lawyer, and
inlcht therefore by switched to the col-,
lectorship, if Kpraguo would las willing It
tako the marshalahlp.
It will lie recalled that both factions of
tho democracy in Nebraska had agreed
uiHm tho following slate: Sprague for
callectnr. Swain for marshal, and either
l.oomia of Fremont or Thomas of Sew-,
ar.l for attorney. But agreeing upon a,
thing at home and In Washington is a
horso of another color.
Secretary Bryan remains Imperturbable,
while Senator Hitchcock la standing pat.
And the patronage adjustera, Fpragilft
and Fleharty, are disheartened.
