In the western theater Of The war,
the enemy made insignificant advailc-

IN the forest of Argonne strong
point Of support of the enemy was
taken by the Wuerttenberg infantry
regiment, the One Hundred Twentieth,

There is no news from eastern

IN southern Poland the enemys
attacks were repulsed.
"The report circulated in the foreign
press that the 1890 prisoners taken
by us at Kutno are included in the
1000 Russian prisoners reported by
us previously, is untrue.
In the battles at Wloclawek, Kut-

the conviction is growing that the

Bryan today invited Cnas. M. schwab
president Of the Bethlehem Steel
company, too the state department and
gave him the views Of American go

marines in this country for European
belligerents.
Mr.. Bryan declined to disclose the
position of the American government.
He declared the question was not yet

sistants, also refused to discuss their
mission

corning the manufacture in this coun-
try Of ships or materials for ship

Steel company had contracted to build

that government agents, after thor

state department, desired to consult
with the steel companies of this coun-
try to be certain there would be no
violations of neutrality If contracts
were taken. While the exports of

or ammunition is not prohibited by

cred a violation. During the Russo

Washington, Dec. 2.-Proposals for
creating neutral zone in The waters
Of the western hemisphere and con
serving the rights Of neutrals will be
laid by the United States before the
governing board Of the Pan-American
union, which consists Of diplomatic
representatives Of the 2l American re-
publics.
The governing board will meet on
Tuesday. Secretary Bryan said today
that all the suggestions which have
been made viii be discussed. Argen-
tina, Chile, Peru Uruguay and Ecua-
dor are among the countries which
have formally communicated plans for
the federation Of shipping in this hem
isphere through a more vigorous as
sertion of neutral rights. The confer
enee will take the form of an ex-
change of views by ythe diplomatists
and also will include such questions
az wireless and coaling which already
have made controversies with Euro
pean belligerents The general pur-
pose Of the meeting is to reach a con-
cord of views On neutrality questions
SO tflat the IA American republics
will speak with one voice to the Eu-
ropean belligerent powers whenever
new questions arise.
Peru's suggestion for neutral zone
extending the territorial waters from
the three mile limit to include large
area within which coastwise trade Of
ali beIligerents should be unmolested, |
is not viewed by the United States as
practicable at present. because Of the
belief that such move would be mis-
interpreted by one or the other Of the
Such step could only
come from the voluntary action of the
belligerents, according to President
Wilson's recently expressed view. Of.
ficials here believe the project should |
be pressed by the concert Of Pan
American nations after the war
Chile has suggested that foreign
warships be refused coal in any
American port or that only sufficient
coal be given to permit a warship to
reach port in an adjacent country.
Colombia already has adopted thelat-
ter method iii dealing with belligerent
ships.
Argentine and Ecuador have inform
ed the United States that they be-
Iieve a number OF new conditions
have arisen since the outbreak OF the
war which demand joint consideration
by the Fan-American nations be-
cause Of the identity Of their interests
as neutrals Those two countries sug-
gested the calling Of conference
either Of special Delegates or of dip
lomatic representatives through the
Pan-American union, with a view to
a thorough discussion Of the situation I
After conferences between President
Wilson, Secretary Bryan and Com
sellor Robert Lansing it was decided
that the only Feasible plan at present
was to lay the entire question before
the Pan-American governing board,
There the diplomatic representatives
can discuss questions informally with
out committing their governments to
any specific course, and ont Of such
Interchange Of views, plans may be
evolved that can be referred TO their
respective governments for uniform
action
