German Critic Takes Exception
to Attitude of United States

BERLIN, Dec. 5.-Cvia London.)-The
attitude of the United States is COM
mented upon by Count Ernest Won Re
ventlow, the naval critic, in an article
IN the TageszeltnnB today, in which he
says that England and France are OBJ
tanning from America materials of war,
while Germany is not enjoying similar
assistance.
Referring to the diplomatic discussion
between the United States and England.
concerning the holding up by British war
ships OF American cargoes as provisional
contraband. Count Won Reventlow says:
"If England and France are willing to
favor the United States as much as pos
sfble' without departing from their policy
of Ataiving GfFmahy at the expense Of
small pentra1 nations. the reason IL that
both Countries have ordered many milf
slipns ~of@ deiiars~werth OF war materials
IN the United States. and that American
Industry is working feverishly to supply
the wants OF both these warning nations,
from wooden covers, shoes and horseshoes
up to collapsible submarines. A sub
marine, ftfaneported In parts according
to the 'transAAtlahtic viewpoint, does not
constitute contraband OF war nor does
the fabrication thereof for the use OF
lbelligerents amount to breach of neu-
trality. IS l.4l -.t

Bee.)-The general impression from all
sides is that. the Vistula-Warte fighting
has been more severe than anything ex-
perienced before during this war on any
front
The Germans In the early conflict
chrlstened It "the imperial battle" for
they had been impressed by the highest
authority that upon their success de-
pended the whole future OF the war. and
as reward for victory were promised they
would be disbanded TO their homes
The Germans still persist In their
niassed formations against rifle. Maxim
or bayonet. and as a result their losses
have been appalling. Experts estimate
the Germans have lost two-thirds Of their
army in Poland.
There were several critical moments
during the fighting north OF LODI. One
Russian division held its ground against
two German army corps and nnally drove
them back. But for the late arrival
OF one Russian army corps the battle
would have finished In complete Rus
sian victory a week ago. The strategic
position meant a complete German de-

Robber Peppered
With Bullets by a
Quick Policeman

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. SAN unidentl-
fled robber was shot and probably will
die as the result of bold attack on a
special policeman last night after he had
held up two liquor establishments. The
bandit is in an emergency hospital with
bullets in his brain and body, while
Irving NJ Brown. The special policeman,
is uninjured. It was just after Peter
,zigneau had been held up in his saloon
and robbed Of $50, that Brown entered by
a side door. The robber was just leaving.
This fellow just held me up" Zig
neau cried to Brown.
''Yes, and / want you" said the rob-
bes, making e threatening advance toward
Brown and reaching for his pistol.
Brown was too quick, however, and
shot the robber twice before the latter
had time to fire.
A few minutes before a robber, ap-
parently the same one, held up a bar q
block from zTgneau's. He took. the bar
tender and three patrons into the back
yard at the point of a gun and departed
so the richer. While robbing these mer

The Days
War NetUs

Italy's attitude in the European
war has again become a source OF
concern in view Of Premier salan-
dra's declaration that his country
was in no way bound to fight with
Germany and Austria.
The newest phase OF the war,
so far as was indicated by the
days dispatches, is heavy fighting
in Alsace, where the French have
succeeded In maintaining a foot
hold on German territory since the
opening Of hostilities.
Dispatches from Petrograd I'm
dicate that the Germans who
fought their way out OF the Rus
slap trap performed most des-
perate and valorous feat. The
heavy force southeast of LodE,
which was hemmed in, is said to
have cut It's way with bayonets.
step by step, for fifteen miles.
The desperate character OF the
hand-tohand fighting in assaults
on trenches, the use of hand gren-
AIDES and bomb-throwing ma
chimes are described in a British
official eye witness report issued
today, which also discloses that
the allies are using tunnel-boring
appartus for subterranean ap-
proach to the German entrench-
ments.
Today's announcements from
the French and German War
offices contain claims OF progress
on both sides. At one point
north of the Lys, says the French
report, an advance Of 500 yards
a noteworthy movement in view
Of the character OF the operations
was made.

German Soldiers in Poland Told
They Might Disband if Victorious

curious tactical spectacle, with the Rus
SLAMS and Germans In alternate strips
covering a considerable area of the Polish
battle field. The Germans have alter
mated furious attacks with retreats.
The kaisers sons, Prince Oscar and
Prince Joachim. are reported to have
escaped only by taking fiight in an aero
plane.
II there was point besides their war
machinery. upon which the Germans par
ticularly prided themselves II was their
marching power. Yet even here the Rus
SLAMS have shown themselves immeasur-
ably superior. The gran1 duke officially
noted a while ago that some Russians
corps had marched and fought eontinu-
ously for months, had taken fortified
positions and had covered more than 600
miles.
The Russians do their marching flat
foot whereas the German records are
made by means OF motor traction. over
Polish roads IN the autumn season the
Germans find their methods badly handi-
capped. whereas the Russians eontinu-
ously improved their records as the men
got more ana more hardened.
One corps covered twenty miles in one
day and thlrty-six the next, and went
into the fight on their arrival with an
ardor superior TO that Of the attacking
Germans. who had the worst OF It.

Enough; these are business considera-
tions, which naturally dominate the ideas
of contraband and the treatment Of the
American commercial marine"
Commenting on the declaration Of
Premier Salandra in the Italian Chamber
OF Deputies today CFriday), the Nord
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung says that
Italy's attitude In reserving for itself the
right to take a hand in the political read
justment OF Europe. so far as its own
interests are involved" should make a
great impression in Europe.
/ Premier Salandra made It clear" says
the newspaper, that Italy's neutrality
is self-imposed and voluntary on Its part.
For, this reason. Italy has reserved the
right TO act Independently. Should de-
veiopments threaten its position as a
world power through intended territorial
gainr. then its policy of aloofness, main
tanned up to the present time. would nc
longer be binding.
