Germans Shower Gifts on Americans.
A remarkable demonstration Of Ger
man friendliness to Americans Is de-
scribed by some Americans who
reached London from Flushing. At
Munich the burgomaster saw the
Americans OF aboard special train
and made laudatory speech. He
handed flowers to every American
woman and book on Munich to every
man.
On the way to the frontier the entire
population Of two villages turned out
to see the Americans. When the train.
left Red Nauheim, q German band
played American airs. To each wom-;
an was presented bouquet of red and
white roses and to each man book

SERAIA ELIMINATED FROM
AUSTRIA'S CALCULATIONS

budapest. Dec. 25.-Baron Conrad
Won Hoetzendorf. chief of the general
staff Of the Austrian army, in an in
terview published today in the news
paper AZest. practically admits that
the defeat of the Austrian army which
invaded Servia has resulted in the
elimination of Servia from the field OF
operations.
Baron Hoetzendorf said that as far
as Austria Is concerned, the principal
theater Of war at present is Poland
and Galicia, where the Austr0- German
forces are concentrating all their
available forces against the Russians.
The chief of staff added that Servia is
secondary consideration which can
be attended to.
When he was questioned about the
reports that Italian soldiers serving in
the Austrian army because they were
born in the "unredccmed" provinces)
were placed In the front rank Of the
fighting forces and that many Aus
TRANS of Italian origin in Trieste and
TrentinO had been executed for their
anita ustrian sentiments, Baron Won
Hoetzendorf denied that his govern
ment was animated by an anti-lta liam
policy. He admitted, however. that
the Austroitalian frontier had been
fortified since the start of the war.
Baron Won Hoetzendorf concluded by
aging that the austrian government
places full trust in its army.
