SHAW WOULD MAKE
NEUTRALS ALLIES
lBy Gable to The Thbune.l

London. Dec. 16.-George Bernard
Shaw replies in to-day's Times to
the proposal made by Richard Bagot,
that Great Britain should reply to the
German propaganda in Italy by dis
tributing in that country half mill
ion pamphlets setting forth official
reasons why Great Britain Is at war
with Germany. Mr.. Shaw says:
81 venture TO suggest that what we
want to disseminate in Italy, and on
neutral ground elsewhere, are not the
official reasons why we are at war with
Germany, but the real reasons why
neutral nations should support our side
in that war with their sympathy, II not
with their active Intervention later on.
81 say side advisedly, for 1t Is OBJ
vious that neutral nations are con-
cerned with the case for supporting
France and Russia quite as much as
with the case for supporting us. In
deed, what we want to impress upon
them is not so much any national case
as the worlds case for destroying the
military prestige Of the Prussian sys-
TEN, which means destroying the sys-
tenn itself, as it has no other assets"

Count Won Reventlow Insists
Naval Battle Does Not Affect
Home Conditions.

London. Dec. 16.-Count Won Revent-
low. writing in the "Deutsche Tages-
zeitung" on the Falkland Islands bat
tie, says: lSxxaz
"The British force had everything al
its disposal and the Germans had moth
ing. Therefore, TO draw from the re-
suit of this fight differences with regard
to the position in home waters would
be complete fallacy. The battle does
not in any way prejudice the develop
ment of conditions in home waters.
I'VE lay special weight on this fact
because It is a truth which might not
be recognized. On the other hand. we
must see clearly that in order to fight
with success we must fight ruthlessly
-ruthlessly in the proper meaning of
the word; that Is 10 say, without any
regard whatever for anything what

TO our military goal"
The "Tagliche Rundschau" says: I'VE

SULTAN PINS FAITH
TO His HOLY WAR
In Speech from Throne he
Blames Allies for Euro
pean Conflict.

London. Dec. ia Reuter- dispatch
from Constantinople gives the glst Oh
tho speech from the throne by Sultan
uehmed V at the opening Of the Turk
isb Parliament yesterday. The Sultan
announced that he was forced to de-
clare war when the Russian fleet at
tackled the Turkish feet in the Black
Sea and England and France began
actual hostilities by sending troops to
the Turkish frontiers.
"The necessity was forced upon US 20

destruction which at all times mas been
pursued against the Islamite world by
England Russia and France, and which
has 2 umed the character OF religious

and those who help them. am con-
WINGED that our forces on land and sea
will add fresh victories TO those gained
by the gloI Gus armies OF Germany ana
Austria Hungary against the common
enemies.
81 can state with much satisfaction
that our relations with the powers
which have not participated in the gen
eral war are sincerely friendly, and
cspecially with our neighbor, Bull
saria."
The Sultan made brief reference TO
the abrogation OF the capitulatlors, and
in giving the cause for this step said:
"The special privileges which our
government has heretofore granted for
eigners had assumed a shape detri-
mental to our rights of sovereignty"
Petrograd via London), Dec. 10
The correspondent Of the "Bourse Ga
zette" in Tihis says that General
Sanders Pacha, the German military
officer in command of Turkish troops,
on arriving at ErZerum ordered the

Ypres. although the last named town is
still in the hands of the Allies.
IL is evident that while the Germans
are prepared to offer stubborn resist

gions mentioned in the official com
munieations they expect the main at
tack Of the Allies 10 be made IN another
direction, or are themselves preparing
for an offensive, for they have gath
cred considerable forces at Courtrai'
from which point they could be quickly
transferred either to Flanders or south
ward across the French frontier.
On the whole, 10 would appear that
the Allies. who now have superiority
in numbers as well as IN artillery, nave
succeeded In making some progress ana
have withstoOd vigorous counter at
tacks delivered by the Germans.
The fact that the Allies are in pos
session Of Hollebeke, in Flanders, ana
that heavy fighting was going on again
to-day. shows that they have made an
appreciate advance during the last TWO
DAYS, as last week they were being at
tackled by the invaders two miles 70 the
west Of Saint Eloy, which is on 1preS-
Armentieres road.
The official statement given out by
the French War Office this afternoon
SAYS that German infantry gained a

Russian left back toward the River
San. This Austrian army, assisted by
German reinforcements, has under
taken the rather difficult task of fore
ing the Russians TO withdraw from in
front of Cracow and also Of relieving
Przemysl.
In the German attacks in the Lowicz
region, it is said, several hundred
prisoners and one field battery were
captured by the Russians. During the
last three days of fighting eight ma
chine guns, two batteries of field guns
and 1000 prisoners have been taken.
The main area Of operations of the
whole strategic front from the Baltic
TO the Carpathians is that now official
~ designated as "south of Cracow.
Both sides have now settled that the
decisive struggle must take place here.
Grand Duke Nicholas has aimed for
this since the war began.
The Germans hoped to compel his
withdrawal from the main object of his
strategic scheme by invading Poland a
first and second time, and now, finally,
by throwing enormous reinforcements
into action in Poland. The Russians
held all these attacks or inflicted seri-
Gus defeats on the German armies
without losing their grip upon the main
strategic scheme At last Germany
sent large forces to the south, and
there they are now, in the picturesque
language of the official bulletin,
spotted about the Austrian forces"
Within the next week the great bat
tie. which is now heralded by the
manGuvring of large forces on both
sides, will open the decisive period of
the campaign. The Russians hope to
clear the way for the invasion of Ger
many along the line which the Grand
Dukes strategy has schemed for dur
ING the last few months.

Germans Lose $4,000 Men
in 8 Days in Flanders

Ey Cable 10 The Iuuuue.l
London, Dec. l6.-"The Daily Chron-
icle'sp correspondent sends the fol-
lowing dispatch from Dunkirk:
"With desperate energy a German
attack has been directed against
Ypres. and in the end the enemy have
retired TO their trenches utterly eX-
bausted. The nature Of the hghung
may be judged by reports which speak
of $4,000 casualties within three days
over an area extending few kilo-
metres north and south Of the town.
The outcome has been an advance by
the Allies, and IL is now reported on
excellent authority that the way is
clear TO Roulers That town had not
been taken up to last night, but a
solid wedge has been driven into the
enemy's line at this point.
"Some details of renewed fighting
reached me here. The Germans, as
usual. opened with bombardment oil
the French "point d'appui," Salnte-
Elov. The heavy artillery was. how
ever. brought up and an effective reply
was given TO the Germans big guns.
The Allies went forward under cover
of this FIRE, but they encountered de-
termined resistance at MOodslede, a
village on the railway between Ypres
and Roulers.
"At Moorslede the Germans had col
lected a number of trucks, which were
forthwith armorplated. These were con-
cealed on sidngs around the railway sta
ton From this quarter a sweeping fire
was directed against the approaching
forces, machine guns and rifles sending
a hail Of bullets. which necessitated
brief retirement for reformation Of the
ranks. The Germans advanced con-
fdently TO the neighborhood of Zonne-
beke, where the country Is wooded,
lending itself to defensive tactics. Our
troops were posted On the heights of
Gheluvelt, and from this position were
able to stem the rush, whereupon the
Germans began to shell the woods. At
a favorable moment a general advance
by the Allies was ordered and the Ger
mans were driven back, Moorslede be-
ing again reached.
Earlier the position of the armored
railway trucks had been reported by
telephone. and French and British
shells were directed upon the station
and its sidings One evidently hit an
ammunition wagon, for a tremendous
explosion occurred. sending three Of
the trucks off the rails. The enemy

GERMANS DERIDE
AMERICAN VIEWS
Newspapers Call Public Opinion
in United States "Humbug
and Hypocrisy"
lBy Gable to The Tribune


London, Dec. 16.-"The Times" says
this morning:
"The article in the Cologne Gazette
about peace talk in America was pub
lished as a communication from indus
trial circles in the west of Germany.
The main point of the article is that
America could not be trusted TO arbi-
trate in what Mr.. Choate called the
war for world supremacy because
America is not impartial. The German
industrialists say:
"'There is the further weighty con-
sideration that while, upon the whole,
the American government has preserved
strictly IN outward neutrality, il has
again been seen that there are differ
ent ways Of being neutral, and Amer
ica's neutrality has, upon the whole,
favored England
The German press is in many cases
going much further than this. The
Hamburger Fremdenblatt,' which may
be described as the chief organ Of
Herr Balm and the Hamburger
Amerika Line, gives great prominence
to an article from "a partner in a great
German firm in New York who uses
expressions like the following:
Zone factor is the general humbug
and hypocrisy of American public opin-
ion. Religion, virtue, abstemiousness,
candor and honor are the stock phrases
with which Americans are stuffed on
every possible occasion, and the sup
posed violence done to the neutrality
Of Belgium was grist to the mill Of
these hypocrites. In any case, the
people in Germany need not bother
themselves in the least about what the
Americans think or say. As long as
German arms win, that is all that mat
tiers, for the American is a thorough
orportunist and never has any sympa-
thy with the side that is BEATEN"
