Washington, Dec. 1l.-Declaring
that there has been too much public
ity Of military affairs of the nation,
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, in
a speech in the Senate today. opposed
agitation for special investigation of
military preparedness praised the
strength and personnel of the navy
and urged the organization of an army
reserve.
Anyone may learn about our mill
tary or naval establishment by read
ing the reports of the secretaries OF
the departments and the reports Ok
those who are conducting the differ
ent bureaus and branches of the ser
vice" said the senator.
1T is an open book to all our citi-
zens and there need be no doubt
about our relative position or our ca
liabilities if one is disposed to study
reports instead of seeking notorietv
in the press.
I'm fact, there is and has been al
together too much publicity in such
matters. in my judgment. We have
had a demonstration during the pres
emf European war of the value of Sc
crecy in conducting military opera
tions and there is no reason why we
should spread broadcast what we are
doing or what preparations we have
made. / have no doubt every Euro
pean country is informed in the most
minute detail of our condition, both
on land and sea. and if any change in
our methods is to be made 1t should
not he in the direction of greater
publicity. but should be to protect
our operations even in time of peace
from scrutiny both at home anu
abroad"
While expressing the hope that the
European war would be the last great
war and that nations would see the
folly of maintaining such great mill
tary establishments as great EURO
pean countries have done and that
GENERAL agreement may be MADE
which will provide for at least par
tisl disarmament" Senator Weeks
maintained it was the part of wisdom
TO consider what course to follow III
case such result should not come.
"At this time he continued, III
does not seem to me that it is wise or
prudent to take any action which Will

Although the United States refines
more nickel than any other country,
practically all the ore used comes from
Ontario and New Caledonia. 1t is there
reduced to matte, according to the
United States Geological Survey. and
then shipped to this country for fur
ther reduction to metal. The only do
nestle nickel produced is small guam
tity obtained from blister copper as
by-product in electrolytic refining.
and even this small quantity is SO
mixed as to source that what part of
it is of domestic origin and what part
is of foreign origin can not be deter
mined.

There IS to be no material change in

ARMY is OPER-

The Presence of the Russians Is Said TO
Have Forced the German
Retreat.

Chicago Oct IA dispatch from Dor
deaux to the Daily News repeats the
story that Russian troops are in France
and makes the positive assertion that
100000 Russians are now fighting with
the allies and th~t they were largely re-
sponsible for the sudden retreat of the
German army after it had reached a
point only 20 miles from Paris. The
correspondent adds
"In Bordeaux, where maps of the war
are displayed with the flags OF countries
showing the location of troops, the Rus
sian standard has a position in three
places in the field of action with those
OF the allies. 1t is no secret in France.
Referring to the alleged passage of
the Russians through England the cor.
respondent SAYS il was magnifcently
accomplished piece of gigantic strategy
and there are few people in England
even to-day who have actual knowledge
of the fact that the Russians passed
through that country after they had ar
rived at Leith from Archangel. The
Russians had to be fed en- route and it

The Russian Army Pours Through Three
Carpathian Passes Into

in the Carpathians, at Dukla pass, Sa-

Through two of the passes are rail-
roads which the Russians now control

garian side OF the southern Galician
border.
The force which advanced TO Sanok
pass was opposed by German artillery
sent to cut of its Movement. The Ger
mans were defeated in engagements
south of the city of Sanok and retired
TO the northwest, abandoning their guns.
The Russian force moved on through
the defile
In the Ussok pass the Russians dis.
lodged the enemy from three positions
and gained the further side, where they
are now descending to the Hungarian
plateau. There are no Notifications

An attack by Russian troops on the
