AUSTRIANS DEFEAT RUSSIANS
VIENNA, Jan. 27.—The official statement by the
Austrian government, issued this morning, relates that
the Russians have been forced to evacuate several strong
positions in the Carpathian mountains. Those positions
consisted of heights which gave the enemy a considerable
advantage. The places are now occupied by the Austrian
troops. The opinion created in this country by official
statements is that the Austrians and Germans by their at
tacks on the Russian center will compel the Russian
armies of the left to retire from Austrian territory. It is
generally believed that a week or ten days will decide the
question.

BIG AUSTRALIAN ARMY
SYDNEY, Jan. 27.—The Australian government has
now under way plans for the raising of a rifle reserve
army of half a million men who will be sent to Europe to
tight for the allies should the war be prolonged longer
than people expect. The army will receive training dur
ing certain periods that will not interfere with the bus
iness pursuits of the recruits, It is assumed that half a
million men can be raised for the purpose although it will
probably mean the training of every man of military age
and capability in the Commonwealth.

BRITISH CASUALTIES SLIGHT
LONDON, Jan. 27.—The British warships that were!
engaged in the battle ofl’ the north coast of Holland last
Sunday with the Germans have returned. The dread- j
naughts Lion and Tiger and the destroyer Meteor were:
slightly damaged but the British casualties were slight.
The Lion and Tiger are two of the great, new ships of the
British navy, each of them having a displacement of
25,000 or 27,000 tons. They outclassed the German ships
entirely and in addition to sinking one German battle
cruiser it is believed that they inflicted very serious dam
age on others of the enemy’s vessels. All the ships engag
ed returned to port so it is proven beyond the shadow of a
doubt that no British vessel was lost.
SUBMARINE WAS RUSSIAN
BERLIN, Jan. 27—The torpedoing of the German
cruiser Gazelle is attributed here to a Russian submarine
but no continuation has been received. The Gazelle was
somewhat damaged but reached a port in the Baltic sea
without assistance and will soon have her injury repair
ed and be ready to take to the sea again.
RUSSIANS TAKE TOWN
PETROGRAL). Jan. 27.—The official statement this
afternoon indicates that the Russians have taken an of-1
fensive along a new route in the northern part of East |
Prussia. They have occupied Pilkallen, a town near the’
frontier, between Tilsit and Stallupohen. This means that
thee have again entered German territory although only
for a short distance.

GERMAN LEADER KILLED
CAPETOWN, Jan. 27.—Colonel Seydebreck, com
mander of the German forces in German South Africa,
has been killed while examining a hand grenade. The
bomb exploded accidentally. A strong force of British
is now being gathered for an attack on the neighboring
German colony and an invasion will probably be under
taken for the purpose of annexing the district to the
United States of South Africa.__

A. E. Maltby who passed through
Seward some days ago gave a Ju
neau paper to understand that he be
lieves he is elected to the legis
lature notwithstanding the apparent
lead of C. K. Snow who is now on the
way here from Ruby. Fairbanks, how
ever, has long ago conceded Snow’s
election. In the previous election
something similar happened at Nome.
One of the candidates went to Ju
neau but found that the returns from
the very last precinct had given
Aldrich, the next man, a lead over j
him.
