General Joffre Can Do What He Likes With ihe
Germans in the Argonne
A deepatch from Paris says:
Progress by the French trop s an
the Champagt'M district, between
Rheims and. the Argonne forests
which has beeti noted every day for
more than two weeks, has resulted,
•according es the official commu-
• nique issued on Wednesday nights
in the 'occupation o a tug° sectiou
of the ground. which has been
strongly held by the Germans since
their retreat to the Aisne.
It is believed here that the Ger-
mans are coneentrating forces in
Flan,ders for a new drive at the
Chamiel ports-, notably Calais. This
lpelief is based on a d,esp,airca from
London saying that the German
commanders have' received orders
to stop all traffic on reeds leading
from the interior to. Belgium to
West Flenders in order to prevent
the leaking out of news regarsling
the movemene of troops.
The following supplementary offi-
cial was issued ]ate on
Wednesday night by the ereneh
WarOffic
"It can be stated that in the Ar-
gonne, where we hastlieen conetant-
ly.aetacked since December, Lae
roles in the last three weeks have
been reversed. To -day we have
gained the undispatable ascenden-
cy. These kcal actions, of which
the •Argenne is the theatre, show
that more and More the enemy is at
our mercy and ,that our moral su-
periority is assured.
"We have obtained this result by
a .s,eries, of limited operations ener-
getically carried out, and although
the 'German forces which confront
no 'are extremely tourageous, we
fie,el thee at a given •point and mo-
ment wt are masters and can do
what we wish."
The stateanent gives the details of
one of these ' engagements, which,
it slays, occur daily and show the
splendid ardor of the troops.
FILLED WITII
GERMAN WOUNDED
Dismal Scenes Greeted Russians on
Regaining Town After Three
Days in Ellente'e Hands.
A despatth from Petrograd says
The Russians on re-entering
Przasnysz aftea- its occupation for
three days by the Germans are de-
ported ,to have found neaely every
house filled with wounded or sick
- German seldiers. In addition there
were Ressians who had been pri-
soners for four days. Except for
the small ,service, rendered them by
the inhabita-nts, these men had vir-
tually been without care.
Huodeedis of men, had died bean
lack of medical eervices, and their
bodies lay unburied. The streets
were barricaded With agricultural
implements and household ferniture
and there was a gthat seareity of
provisions. Scores of h.ous,es had
been riddled by , and the
menieipal, building was party des-
.. brewed. -
Many pristhers are being brought
beck to Przasnysz, hoeing been cap-
tured from the German rearguard
by the Russian cavalry. Along the
roads there, are evidences of a
hasty retreat.

FRENCH PRISONERS RETURN.
• •
250 Wounded Soldiers From Ger-
many Arrive in Frame.
A de'spatch from Lyons, France,
says: "Maimed French prisoners of
warwho were exchanged for Ger-
man wounded prisoners arrived
here on Weslne'sday in a brain of 16
cars hearing the Bed Cress and in
charge of -the Swies.branch of this
organization. The exeltange was
made at Geneva. The former pris-
oners, among whonn there were
many whose arms or legs had been
amputated, aggregated 250. They
were the first of such exthaaged
men to arrive in France. Many of
them were attired in old civilian
garments, and eerne even
wore the jackets of German uni-
forms. Pinned to the coats of an
weee small bunches of flowersegiven
them during their journey through
Switzerland. After the men had
boort given food at the railroad sta-
tion they were sent to various hos-
pieals. The -se who were question-
ed made no complaint of the treat-
ment that had been shown them in
the German hospitals.

Italy Will Refrain
From Joint Action.
A despatch from Rome says: It
is le,ameed that the Italian Govern-
ment is net intere,eted in the modus
vivendi as regards Germany and
England which was proposed by the
United States +since it is regarded
as certain to'fall. Italiane appro-
val is unnecessary 'and inexpedient,
since it would be apt to be miecon-
&trued, and would be a limitation
on future freedom of action in case
of intervention.
The Italian Government will re-
frain from joint action of any kind
intended to lessen the effect of war
or hasten peace, and will not take
the initiative nor support the initia-
tive cif neutrals. Italy's position is
to protect,. unaided, her own inter -
este, hence she. svill not alter the.
policy followed .since the •outbre,ak
of the war until she deems it fib to
do so.
BRITAIN'S PENSION SCHEME.

er diesaccording to actuaries em-
ployed,by the non-partisan oominit-
the which prepared the plan ab bhe
order of the House oe Commons.
The maximum eep,enditure the first

be about $250,000,000, and the cost
during the first year after the war
