The War Today
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

General retirement of Germans be-
fore the town of Dixmude is reported
unofficially. The Germans recently
took this town from the allies. Dix
nude lies in the heart of the con-
tested district of Belgium, where thou
sands have died as result of Ger
man efforts to force way to the Eng
lish channel. In the absence of Of
fetal confirmation of German with
drawal it seems difficult to adjust the
report to accord with last nights ad-
vices that 125,000 Germans had been
brought up before Ypres to make a
last effort to capture the town.
The latest information from the sit
uation in the cast is that the Germans
were undertaking vigorous offensive
on scattered battlefields in
Russian Poland. In east Prussia the
Russians have penetrated about 80
miles beyond the border and in Galicia
it is reported that the Austrians have
been swept back to the gates of Cra-
COW. In all these regions, however,
the issue hangs in the balance.

CHICAGO HAS BIC
WAR STAMP RUSH
Door of the Office of Collector
Pushed Off Hinges-Police
Are Called in.

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 1. - There was
such a great rush to buy war revenue
stamps today that 20 police were
called to keep order at the federal
building. Two women tainted, the
door of the Office of the revenue col
lector was pushed off its hinges and
several windows were broken. Three
thousand persons packed the corri-
dors outside the collectors office and
the police finally thinned the crowd by
pushing part of it into other corridors
and offices.
An official announcement that so
days grace would be allowed before
enforcement of the penalty for failure
to pay the war tax caused the crowd
to disperse.
New York, Dec. 1.-Ten thousand
people stormed the federal revenue of
fees for war tax stamps. Police had
to keep the crowd quiet, but there was
no serious disorder.

COURT SUSTAINS
new HAVEN CASE
Plea of Rail Heads Attacking
Indictments Dismissed in
New York.

New York, Dec. AFTER hearing
arguments that lasted five hours Judge
Clarence W. Sessions of the United
States district court, without leaving
his bench for consideration. dismissed
the pleas in abatement filed by William
Rockefeller and eight other defendants
in the New Haven case. attacking the
validity of the indictment charging
them with conspiring 10 violate the
Sherman law by building up a railroad
monopoly.
The last speaker for the government
had hardly seated himself when Judge
Sessions began the delivery of his de-
cision, saying that he had acquainted
himself with all the phases of the New
Haven case before the argument.
Judge Sessions said he had little pa
tience with mere technicalities," and
the narrow construction of law, which,
If followed tends to the obstruction of
justice rather than the furtherance
thereof"
The judge remarked that some of
the contentious raised by the attor-
neys for the defense were well worth
considering, but that they might be
made in other proceedings.
The plans in abatement were filed
by William Rockefeller, George +.
Baker. Charles F. Booker, william
Skinner, d. Newton Barney. Robert
w. Taft, James 5. Elton, Frederick F.
Brewster. and Henry X. McHarg.
Baker, Brewster, Barney and McHarg
filed their pleas just before the argu-
ment began. The first contention of
these plans was that the grand jury
which handed down the indictments
had been irregularly selected.
The Judge gave the attorneys for
the nine defendants until Thursday at
10 O'Clock in the morning to file de-
murrers TO the indictments against
them. In the meantime the dismissal
Of the pleas in abatement automatic
ally restored the temporary pleas of
not guilty first entered by these de-
PENDANTS.

Mexico City, Dec. 1.-Thirty-two

as he said there were many persons in
Mexico and in the United States who

Consul Silliman reported the arrival

The general has restored the tram

Dispatches from Consul Silliman,

The president shares former Presi-

night Taft in an address at Montclair
said that while the landing of troops
in Canada by enemies of Great Brit
ain would not constitute a violation
of the Monroe doctrine, any effort to
establish a new form of government in
case of victory would violate that pol
icy. He said: I'VE would not object
to Germany exacting indemnity if she
were the victor, but that Germany
could not, under the Monroe doctrine,

government or take oppressive meas :

FOR A VOICE AT HAGUE
Lot of Soldier Preferred to
That of Those Left to Face

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 1.-The force of
woman's influence should be against
war;" said Mrs. Pethnick-Lawrence of
London, England, in a plea that wom-
an be allowed to reinforce the peace
movement. Addressing the Chicago
Equal Suffrage association, she said
the war had eliminated entirely the
theory that women are protected in
war. I'VE rightly honor the soldier
who faces death in defense of his coun-
try" she said, but his lot is to be
preferred to that of the women who
are left behind to face the complete
disorganization of industry. Thou
sands of women in England are facing
starvation. Let the women's move
ment organize and work so that a new
spirit shall be embodied in the new
peace and fulfill the slogan of the al
lies that this is war to end war"
For Ratification of Treaties.
Among the things advocated by the
speaker were, ratification of all treat
les by the people affected; participa-
ion of women in The Hague confer
ences; and agreement that democra-
cies shall seek agreements which
would protect law-abiding nations and
small nations menaced by stronger
ones.
