Washington, April S:-Following
an analysis Of the result of the spe-
cial election in the seventh New Jer-
sey district where Dow Fl. Drukker,
Republican, was chosen to succeed
the late Robert l.. Bremner, by q
plurality of $3.50, the White House
today denied that the result was a
reputation of President Wilson 3
policy.
'Passaic county which is the sew
enth district, is Republican" said
Secretary Tumulty. When Presid-
ent Wilson ran for governor Of New
Jersey he was defeated by the Re-
publican candidate in that county
by 1000. Last year Governor Field
er, Democrat lost the district by
5000. The Democrats never had a
chance to elect a representative
other than Bremner, whose person
ality was very lovable and whose
physical condition brought him many
sympathetic votes. The toll question
cut no factor in yesterdays result.
O'Bryne, the Democratic candidate,

GERMAN ADMIRAL
URGES RELENTLESS
WAR UPON BRITAIN
Demands Further Submarine
Attacks Upon All Kinds
of Shipping Without Dis

LONDON, Dec. ..

LONDON, Dec. %.
The reply OF the German press to the
scathing comment Of English newspapers
on the recent raid on the Yorkshire coast
reveals the state OF mind at which tho
Germans have now arrived The Koel-
nlsche zeitung may be cited as a char
acteristic instance. This journal is one
Of the organs OF the Foreign Office, but
II is impossible to know whether the
articles in question are inspired or not.
The Koelnische zeitung says that Eng
llsh newspapers lie, as usual, when they
declare that whitby and Hartlepool are
not fortified places. The whole world
knows, 1t states, that Whitby has a coast
guard station and a signal station. and
that Scarborough has a coast guard sta
ton. According to German belief all
coast guardsmen are liable TO be called
upon to serve in the navy, and the Ger
man journal adds that an enemy has con-
seduently an indisputable right to bonn
bard such military stations"
Besides" continues the organ quoted,
what heed do the English usually pay
to the loss OF innocent lives7 How many
innocent human beings, too, have been
butchered In East Prussia by the famous
Russian steam roller, which will pre-
sumably shortly be placed with the old
locomotives in a museum? How many
innocent lives have been sacrificed in Bel
GUM TO the British policy, but for which
the war between Germany and France
would have been prevented at the last
moment? War Is war, and 1t strides
over the dead bodies. When war has
been declared there can be only two ques-
tions: Where is the enemy? and HOW
can 1 hit him2'"

Germans in their conduct of war. and

OF war receives far too much attention.
and they worry themselves about humanl-
tartan matters when they ought to be
conducting their campaigns with all
possible rigor He agrees with Admiral
Won Tirpitz that German submarines must
develop still further their activity, and
torpedo everything British that comes In
their way.
England is choking Germany" he
writes "and under the circumstances
everything Is permissible. England may
throw up ner hanus and eXclaim: oh!
Those German baTbarians! and the Brit
lsh may accuse the Germans OF murder
But the Germans must not allow their
hereditary weakness OF consideration to
slacken their trm purposes. German
submarines have already struck terror to
the hearts OF Britons. Let them con-
tinue this says Admiral Schlieper "and
make themselves q continuous terror at
all those points where England is most
vulnerable.
Attack without discrimination war
ships, mercantile marine, troopshIps,
trRnsports-all are legitimate spoil We
cannot bring the British lion TO his knees

CLEARED FOR ACTION
IN CRISIS AT BEIRUT
North Carolina Made Prep
arations to Shell Turkish
Town, Returned Officers
Say.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2s.-The United
states cruiser North Carolina cleared for
action at Beirut, Syria, during her Visit
there In November Ali preparations we're
made to shell the Turkish town. Five
hundred men were fully equipped for
shore duty. These conditions prevailed
for three days, but at the end OF that time
the antI-foreign situation became less
tense.
Just how near the North Carolina came
10 firing was learned today when four
naval officers returned on the liner FIN
iard after being relieved from duty on
the North Carolina, which Is still In the
eastern Mediterranean protecting Chris
tians. The naval officers who reporteu
hack TO duty in this country were mem
berE OF the aviation corps at vera CRUZ
where they had done scouting duty ana
were picked up hastily and ordered Oh
the North Carolina when that snip re-
oeIyed orders over night to leave CaIlD-
bean waters and proceed with the Ten
negsee abroad TO deliver gold to the
stranded Americans. The four otnceTs
were Commander Muslin, Lieutenant +:
M. Bellinger, Ensign w. Cappart ana
Lieutenant c. Sauffley. These four were
in the party that carried American gold
TO Paris. After delivering the money they
left with the North Carolina for Turkey.
One of them told this story OF the Beirut
events:
''As we were proceeding to Smyrna we
passed the British fleet which consisted
of one drcadnought, three batteshlps'
seven cruisers and two submarines. we
afterward learned that one of the SUB
marines which came within hailinE DIS
tance of lis was the famous Bill. whlch
later dived under the mines in the Dar-
danelles and sunk a Turkish battleshlp.
Reaching Beirut we found the mission
aries panicky, but with no serious cause
for alarm. We then proceeded to smyrna
arriving there about five hours after the
firing OF shot across the bow OF the
launch of the Tennessee.
80 serious did Captain Oman, Of the
North Carolina, consider the situation
that he sent a number of officers ashore
TO look around. When we returned the
decks OF the North Carolina were cleared
for action. Five hundred men were
p'rced on deck, all provided with three
dayg rations and armed to the teeth.
Landing boats were lowered with ma
chine guns in them, while the rapid-fire
guns on the decks were sighted 80 that,
at a moments notice. they could rake
the shore. The president of the Ameri-
can College was supplied with set OF
signals so that he could communicate
with the cruiser.
For three days the men remained un-
der arms, expecting orders any minute
to 90 ashore and start fight However,
the situation calmed down and the four
of US left on the Vulcan"

cUxHAvEN DAMAGE HEAVY,
SAY UNOFFICIAL REPORTS

THE HAGUE. Dec. 2S.-PFiyats adVices
received here today from Hamburg state
that the British aylators caused heavy
damage IN their aerial raid on cuxhaYan
and that panic prevails In several OF the
coast towns OF East Fresiand, Holden
burg and Hanover as q result OF the
attack. On their return flight 10 the

British aviatora threw four bombs upon

The ofielal reports from Germany de-
clare that no damage was done on the

fortineRtions erected there we're reduced
BY the explosion Of two OF the bombs.

failed, they have been reduced in the last
ten days to frontal attacks, which caused
alarming Losses all round the clock on
Christmas Day. On Christmas night they
kept hammering at the Russian defenses
on the River Pilitza, Is miles southwest
Of Warsaw.
At the same time the AustrianB were
attempting to force the passage Of the
Nida near its confluence with the Vistula.
Here, in spite OF the army Of General
Dankl, which Is reckoned as Austria's
finest troops, a humiliating defeat was
inflicted by the Russians. who took 1000
odd prisoners, including IS officers.
The Russkl Invalid, the leading mill
tary organ, says the Austrian forces are
melting away. It considers the German
methods OF discipline unsulted to an army
in which a large slav element prevails.
The Slavs will fight only II their sympa-
thies are aroused and II they are treated
as men, not as machines. In this war
they prefer to surrender.
The Germans have found the same true
of their Polish troops, who have now all
been sent to Belgium. This argues Ill for
the new German appeal to the Poles to
help their liberators.
"The result of the GermRns' struggle to
establish themselves on the Warsaw side
of the rivers which the Russians are
defending has simply been to carpet the
earth with dead. For all their sacrifice
OF life no advantage whatever has been
gained.
''The character OF the fighting was forci-
bly, illustrated by an attack near
Bolimovo, on the Rawka. As the Ger
mans advanced the Russians set hre to
a farm in a wood In their rear. The
Germans, silhouetted against the glow,
were an easy mark for the machine guns
OF the Russians, which were used with
ghastly effect Several armored motor
cars armed with these guns ran up and
dow nthe road, which had been hardened
by frost, and poured deadly stream Of
bullets into the Germans. The Russians
constantly changed their positions and
made counter attacks on the Germans
which were q complete success. They
killed 1000 and took two battalions pris-
oners.
what the Germans can do instead OF
making frontal attacks of disastrous
kind Is not suggested. but the arrival be-
hind their front of l1-inch guns may
point to a new development. There are
no fortified places here for the Germans

ably will show whether or not Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg has anything up
