Steinbach in Alsace Fell into

Desperate Fighting for

Germans Captured Bolimow
in Advance on Warsaw,

' by Russians to Have Been
Checked Comparatively
Quiet in West
Berlin, via wireless to London, Jan. 4,
4 p. m. Steinbach, the Alsatian town on
the heights between Thann and Seen
heim, for which desperate fighting has
been going on for several days, was offi
cially admitted by the German army
headquarters in a statement to-day to
have been captured by the French. The
French also took possession of the heights
to the west of Seenheim, but the Ger
mans in a counter attack with the bay
onet succeeded in regaining the position.
Violent fighting is in progress along
the eastern battle front, leading at
points to desperate hand to hand en
counters. The official Russian statement
aliows that after capturing Bolimow, the
Germans attempted to push on to the
northeast in the direction of Warsaw,
about 30 miles away. This movement
marked the renewal of the German of
fensive toward the Polish capital after a
period of comparative inactivity, but
their advance in this direction is said to
have been repulsed with large losses.
A remarkable night battle on the bank
of the Bzura river is described in the
Russian communication, which says that
the German forces were permitted to
cross the river unmolested and were then
attacked with bayonet without the fir
ing of a shot.. It is asserted that several
hundred Germans were killed and the re
mainder surrendered. .
In other campaigns on Europe's battle
fields, bo essential changes are reported.
In the Trans-Caucasian region' the Turks
and Russians are enjaged in fierce strug
gles, but the reports frou Pctrograd and
from Constantinople concerning the out
come are at complete variance.

ENGLAND MAY BEGIN DRAFT.
Hint at Conscription if Recruiting is not
Stimulated.
London, Jan. 4. A hint that the Brit
ish government contemplated the intro
duction of conscription for increasing
the army and navy was dropped by
Thomas J. McNamara, parliamentary
secretary to the admiralty, while speak
ing at the Browning aettlement yester
day afternoon.
Referring to the fact that there
were many thousands of young men in
Dm T'nitoH ICitKrilnm. without depend-
ends, who had not answered the call to
the colors, Mr. McNamara said:
"If they think Jhey are going to en
joy life of freedom at the other fel
laws' expense, they won't enjoy it much
longer."
The recruiting boom, which com
menced after the holidays, continues.
As the result of six open air meetings
at Cardiff, addressed by wounded sol
diers, there was an extraordinary rush
to the recruiting ollice Saturday evening,
and the recruiting officers were kept
itusy until an early hour this morning.
At one meeting alone 64,0(K men bared
their heads when the national anthems
of the allies were played.

At the council chanilaT in city hall late
this afternoon the aMermanic street com
mitter expected to convene for the pur
pose of holding a hearing on a proposal
to widen North Seminarv etrret near the
North Main street intersection. City At

jthe north end who dispute tl city's
'right to widen the Ufhwey, planned to
jhste counsel st the hearing. Notwith
standing the fact that the road at that

seemed to arrive st snv ferv definite
oi nrlnsion as to ownership. Along in tlie

AT PAVILION HOTEL
Speculation over Speaker
ship Gives Slight Advan
tage to Judge Weeks of
Middlebury over S. C. Wil
son of Chelsea Three
Mentioned for President
Pro Tern, of Senate
With the biennial session of the legis
lature but two days removed, solons
from the more distant towns and coun
ties in the state commenced to arrive in
Montpelier to-day, a goodly number go
ing from trains to the hotels, while the
majority sought out their quarters in
private houses where they will he locat
ed during the term of the session. To
night the corridors of the hotels will pre
sent an animated appearance with the
prospective lawmakers holding forth
with the usual flow of gossip which pre
cedes the opening of the legislature.
Interest centers principally in the elec
tion of speaker for the House of Repre
sentatives, and it is conceded that the
fight for the leadership of the lower
branch of the legislature lies between
Judge J. f. Weeks of Middlebury and
Stanley C. Wilson, chairman of the Re
publican state committee. Reports
throughout the slate indicate that the
former has somewhat the better chance
for election, although many are frankly
in favor of placing a youna man in the
position and feel that Mr. Wilson is en
tirely capable for the job. I'nlike some
vears, the representatives are not solidly
'pledged to support one or the other for
the nomination and the result, it is felt,
will he uncertain until the rollcall is
made Wednesday. The entrance of a
"dark horse" is not fesred by those who
laim to be in a position to venture a
