Daniels was before the house committee all day and in the senate senator Weeks of Massachusetts de- nvered a prepared speech deprecatfng too much publicity in the matter of military strength and pointing to the secret methods of the European pow CTS not at war as an object lesson. Questioned by Nearly Every Member.
 Led by questioning. participated in by nearly every member, Secretary Daniels discussed the navy's inabiI- ity1 to get satisfactory airshfps, the problem of the submarine torpedo boat which has offered more difficulties than all other craft combined; op- | E@1o4 I<AAA Gts e1ese1n@ dpPIOpIAdLlUnH IOI either the submarines or aircraft. and incidentally suggested that the pub lie need not be surprised at any time from now on to read of battle royal between the fleets of the opposing nations of Europe.
 A reference to Mexico followed ques- tons by Representative Roberts of Massachusetts. about criticisms of the board of the navy on general use of battleships when gunboats would suf- flee. MT, Daniels agreed with this in general, but said that there were oc- casicns and emergencies when battle ships and not gunboats were essen- tial.

ThaW Case in
 Supreme Court
ON APPEAL FROM NEW HAMP-
 SHIRE DECISION
ON A HABEAs CORPUS
Gossip Says That Should Court Re- verse Judge AIdrioh's Decision, Thaw May Plead Guilty of Conspiracy as a sane Person wIsh Idea of Gaining Freedom After One Year.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Extradition of Harry K. Thaw from New Hamp- shire to New York, to answer an in- dictment for conspiracy to obstruct justice by escaping from Matteawan insane asylum, was taken under con- sideration today by the supreme court, after listening to oral arguments.
 The case came up on appeal from Justice Aldrtch's decision in the feder- al court of New Hampshire releasing Thaw in habeas corpus proceedings from extradition.
 Question after question propounded by mttlbers of the court as to the soundness of contentious submitted by Thaws attorneys and an arraignment by the latter of counsel for the state of New York for dragging Into the case" Thaw's wealth were the fea- lures of the argument,
 Jerome Claims Tha~ a Fugitive.
 William Travers Jerome opened the argument with the declaration that Thaw was a fugitive from justice, charged with committing a crime in New York. Franklin Kennedy, deputy attorney general of New York, argued at length that the law under which ThaW was committed to Matteawan n after the killing of Stanford White was constitutional.
 Chief Justice White asked his first question when Philander c. Knox,
 
 that only those who had committed crime could be extradicted, and the state of New York was precluded from setting up a contention that Thaw had committed a crime by five de- eisions of it's courts that he was in- sane.
 The chief justice suggested that a man might be insane one day and de- clared sane the next To this Mir. Knox replied that the presumption was that Thaw remained insane Thaw's Counsel Closely Interrosated.
 William A. Stone, former governor of Pennsylvania. was interrogated the bench during his argument that the indictment of Thaw for conspira- cy was not valid, and therefore no crime was charged in it. His posi- ton was that the indictment stated Thaw was Insane, and, therefore, on It's face it showed he could not com nit crime. e
 Does the Indictment state Thaw is insane?" Inquired Justice McKenna
 It says he was in an insane asy- lun, = responded MT. Stone,
 Well, if Thaw.s automobile had broken down on his journey, could he have been Indicted for stealing an- other one?r insisted the justice.
 Not If the indictment set out he was insane"
 SNSl1So I1tuey suggested that per son might be in an insane asylum and yet have lucid moments
 The burden is on the state to show he had become sane,' declared the at- torney.
 But can the burden of proving that be considered on habeas corpus pro- ceedings," insisted the justice.
 Talk about the corridor room after the argument indicted that should the court reverse Judge Aldrich and permit eXtradition Thaw might te advised to plead guilty to the charge of conspiracy as @ sane person, with the idea of gaining freedom by serv- ins the maximum sentence of one year for conspiracy.

The pendulum of war apparently has swung back again in favor of the Rus sians in the east zone of hostilities.
 An official report from Petrograd de- ciares that the Russians have repulsed two units of Field Marshal Won Hin dxniburgsS army-near Mlawa and I.,wicz-administerin enormous cas- Eialkies and taking many prisoners and guns. At some places on the Mlawa front and before Lowicz the Russians attacks, but that these were repulsed and the Germans retreated in disor-
 Gsrmans Put to Flight.
 Ecwicz, according to the Russian statement, the Muscovites permitted the Germans tc approach very near to their trenches and then put them to dight with galling fire.
 Successes also are claimed by the Russians to the south of Cracow. where, however, the Germans are said to be GtubbornIy resisting.
 The Germans realized that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's brilliant manOeuvres which brought the. Ger mans almost before Warsaw again, af- ter they had been thrown back to the East Pruseian frontier was not yet a decisive victory, was acknowledged fn a statement of the German official yreEs bsreau DeaHng with the sftua- t1O1A LpE NAE1ht4tS 4gh AADp1fs l1tG StntC~s 1nent said the resistance of the Rus sians "is by no means broken and that much yet remains to be done be- fore the Russians can be considered definitely defeated.n
 Servians Claim Victory.
 The Servians continue to assert that. they have administered a crushing de- feat to the Austrfans and taken large numbers of prisoners and great quanti- ties of war material. On their side, the Austrians say no new material events have occurred in Servia and Shat the reorganization of the Austrian forces is progressing without heavy battles resulting.
 Fighting continues in France and Belgium at various points and claims of advantages secured are made by both the contenders After having ed- Initted the loss of trenches in the re- zion of Ypres, the latest French report declares that these again have been reoccupied by the allies.
 With the return of the French gov- ernment to Paris from Bordeaux, a corps of aviators is doing scout duty over the capital to ward off possible attacks by hostile aircraft.
