GERMAN OFFENSIVE CHECKED
1
Paris Gives Out Review of Opera
tions on the Eastern War
Front
SUCCESS CROWNS RUSS MOVE
PARIS, March 2. There was dlven out
in Paris this afternoon a review of recent
military activities In the eastern arena
of the -vsr, which reads sa follows:
"The situation In Rtisnla: The German
offensive movement in the direction of
the Nieman river appears to have been
definitely chncked. On 'the left bank of
this stream the German forces hold a line
running approximately from Pllllwisxkl
to Marlampol to Slmno, twenty-five kilo
meters west of Ollta; to Serejee. south
east of Slmno. to the ben in the Niemen
to tho north of Rodno, to Chantablne in
the upper valley of the Bobr.
"In the vicinity of this last mentioned
place and on the southern boundary of
the forest of Auguatowo there have ben
during the laat few day several violent
engagements which have resulted to tho
advantage of t'-e Russians. The attacks
delivered bv . the Germans on Osaowetx
and In . th. region of Jedwabno, to the
northwest of Lomxa have not resulted
safely
"In the region of Przasynss the Rus
sians, after having driven back the at
tacks of th Germans, undertook a vigor
ous offensive along a front extending for
bbout forty kilometers. This movement
was crowned with success. Krasneseln
and Przasynss were recaptured' and the
Germans were compelled to retreat along
this entire front,' leaving numerous prls
iners In the hands of the Russians.
"All the engagements undertaken by
the enemy along the front which extend
from the Junction of the Biur'a river to
the Carpathians,' as far'ss Mount Xupkow
have resulted fruitlessly and ' the situsv-
tion here remains ; virtually without
chanse. All the recent stacks of - the
Austrian and Oermsn forces, which were
rartleulnrly severe In the direction of
Koxluwkl and Roznlatow have been re
1 ulsed with heavy losxe. Judging from
other sources also It would seem that the
progress of the enemy In this vicinity
has been definitely Thecked. '
"To organize the forces with which
Field Marshal Hlndenhurg undertook this
offensive movement, which today stands
checked, the Germans brought three army
corps from the southern part of their
eastern fronts; two others from stations
in the Interior of the .country and one
trom the French front."

Almost No Chance
For Indian Depot
(From a Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON. March 2. (Special Tel
egram.) The Omaha Indian supply depot
will after July 1 cease to exist, unless
something wholly unforeseen occur to re
store it to a status that does not exist
at present.
While the Indian appropriation bill Is
Mil under consideration, the item with
reference to three "permanent". Indian
warehouses ha been adopted and the sen
ate In committee of the whole has com
pleted a third of the bill, matters of gen
eral legislation being included within that
cope. So much opposition has been de
veloped to the Indian supply bill by reason
of Its general legislation with reference to
Irrigated lands that close observers have
predicted the failure of the measure. Thts,
however, will not change the situation as
to the Indian warehouse at Omaha.
It la now being maintained as a tempo
rary establishment and wii'ether the bill
now under considerstion passes Or not the
discontinuance of the Omaha depot rests
with the commissioner of Indian affairs
and he may discontinue it, at any time.' -

ation that General L. Wood directed that

moved In accordance with the original
