WOULD BATTLE IN EUROPE
Japanese Want Government to Send
Troops There.

Toxic. Dec. ADMINISTRATIONS are
being held with the object of urging
the government to send troops to Eu-
rope. This is calculated to distract
the opposition to the increase of the
army.
Leading newspapers argue that it is
not clear hat the allied governments
and people really desire to have the
Japanese take part in the European
war. Japan, they say. in attacking
Tsingtau simply acted in accordance
with the terms of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance.
1t also is pointed out that while the
country is making arduous Efforts to
increase the army by two divisions IT
is not consistent to say it can spare

C%renshaw, naval radio officer at the
Panama canal zone, cabled the navy
department that the wireless of the
British steamer Protesilaus, in Balboa
harbor, was dismantled by canal zone
police Dec. 10 after IL was found she
had been sending code messages.
The cruiser Tacoma is at Cristobal
TO enforce neutrality and the navy
department still has under considera-
rien the possibility OF dispatching an.
other vessel to the canal zone.
A British statement recently to the
navy department said Governor
Goethals had said In a written com
munication that he had been misin.
formed when he charged that a Brit
ish collier was using its radio outfit
contrary TO neutrality.
Oficials here now assume that the
governor had reference to another
British ship, which also figured in the
o61cial dispatches as having violated
the canal rules by leaving Balboa
without clearance papers, and that
that vessel had been confounded with
the Protesilaus. The unnamed collier
had no wireless apparatus.
The Protesilaus is a British mer
chant steamer OF 6,11S tons, which,

London, Dec. 24.-The eighty-mile
front in Russian Poland to the west
Of Warsaw, where the Germans and
Russians are at grips on the banks of
the BZura. Rawka and PiIica rivers.
continues to be the scene OF the most
desperate fighting in either the east
ern or western arenas of the war.
When the weather conditions under
which the troops are fighting are re
called the sufferings of the men in the
trenches may be appreciated to some
extent. The country is experiencing
the full force of winter. Each side
has sustained tremendous losses in
the battle of the rivers, and although
the Germans claim to have forced the
Russian line to retire at a number of
points it is pointed out in reports
reaching London that the Russian
line has been Strengthened and that
the Russians have the strategic adj
vantage. Berlin. however, contends
the German attacks forced the Rus
SLAMS to fall back and that the Ger
man positions are satisfactory. Fur
ther desperate fighting Is in prospect
in this region before a decision is

Claims in East Also Conflict

A similar conflict of claims exists
i'm the eastern arena, for the latest
official communication from P%etrograd
in the same breath admits that the
Russians have been compelled to re-
treat from some positions and states
that German attacks have been re-
pulsed everywhere with heavy losses
TO the invaders. Germany and Aus
tria continue to assert that important
successes are being achieved. To the
north of the Vistula river, where the
Russians assert the Germans several
days & were driven back to the
East Prussian frontier, the Russian
position is such as to make possible
a ianking movement which will men
ace the German army before Warsaw.
Berlin. however. has reported no
change in the situation on the East
Prussian front in the last three days.
1t is believed in London that, not
withstanding the failure of the plan
for an armistice over Christmas, some
sort of a lull will set in on Christ
mas day itself.
