The position of the Greeks in Turkey is doily becoming more precarious. Murders of Christians throughout Asia Minor are of con- stant oecurrenee.

To such an extent was this fraternising carried out that at one place Where the Germans and Bri- tish played football Christmas Day they agreed to suspend hostilities for twaslays more. • the repert: In this work they are making use of steel ..shields to pro tet themselves train the rifle fire of the Czar's troops. in the nearby trenches.

There has been, however, one brisk combat in the Warsaw region recently. The statement records that the Germans captured s•orne Russian trenches near Socha,czew, ...md•rompaimia. the ill-fated village on the Bzura that was the storm ()entre of the re- eent engagements where von denburg's 'Derail on. Warsaw was brought to an abrupt stop. The Russians returned to the attack Thursday morning, and in a fierce bayonet eneounter drove out the enemy and regained aal the posi- tions previously lost. Five quick - firing guns ando. number of Ger- man pasoners were the Russian trophies of this adventure. Of operations in North Poland or East Prussia the Russian state- ment says nothing, and of l3uko- wino, where chief interest in the eastern war theatre now is centred in view of the imminent invasion of Transylvania from that quarter, and its probable political effect on Roumania, Grand Doke Nicholas' headquarters says merely that "we contiVue our offensive." The Wei- ation east of Cracow and in the Car- pathians is deseribed as "without important change." The German statement issued Thursday throws no light on the situation in Poland, beyond the fact that the continued inclement wea- ther has made operations exceed- ingly difficult on account of the mud. • FRENCH PEASANTS STARVING Many Deaths Have, 'Already Occurred From the Lack: of Food A. despatch from London says: Herbert C. Hoover, Chairman of thc American , Commission for Re- lief in Belgium, returned to Lon- don on Wednesday from a tour of, inspection 'of the 'work bobs.g done for the Commission in Belgium. In a etateraent issued Mr. Hoover said: "An a•ppalling situation has been -presented to the Commission with regard to the French peasantry in the valley of the Meuse, just south of the Belgian frontier, where there are 16,000 persons absolutely with- out food. Our investigation show- ed that a large number of deaths already had occurred there freen starvation. Despite the shortness of the rations in Belgium, our Bel- gian colleagues agreed that we must share the last crust with these people. We therefore sent them food out of our limited Belgium stores," • Mr. Hoover also issued a. report on the' Commission's work in Bel- giena, in which he says the organi- zation for the distribution of foo.d supplies is well on the road to com- pletion, It is aided by 50,000 vol- unteer workmen, and there are only a few localities to which relief has not yet been extended.
