GERMANS AT FRONT,
5S IL Army CORPS
Western Front Has A, While
141a Are in East, in Addi-
tiOn TO TerritOrials.

Paris, Dec. IA semi-oficial commu-
nication concerning the German armies
in the field made public here tonight
says:
Germany at present has at her dis
posal twenty-five and one-half active
army corps, of which twenty-one and
one-half are operating against France
and four against Russia. Of the thirty
three German reserve army corps,
twenty-five and one-half are now EN-
ployed against France and ten and one
half against Russia.
"These figures show that there is a
total of fifty-eight and one-half army
corps, active or reserve, fighting for
Germany on the two fronts, and not one
hundred army corps, as has erroneous
ly been stated by the German govern
ment.
"If the territorial units CLandwehr),
of which nothing was said in the Ger
man official note, are taken into ac-
count, it will be seen that eight Land
weir army corps are engaged against
France and seven against Russia-that
is to say. in all on the two fronts thirty
territorial divisions"

BOY SLAYER TO Be
FREE FROM JAIL
Lad, Frightened, Pleads
with Guard-Weeps for
Victim of Accident.

Passaic, n. j., Dec. MAX Rabino-
witz, ten years old, the youngest pris-
on,r ever put in a cell in this state
charged with murder, was ordered re-
leased tonight and will be taken home
tomorrow from the Paterson jail.
John NJ. Ward, of Ward e. McGinnis.
lawyers, of Paterson, had a conference
with Prosecutor Dunn this afternoon
and went Immediately to Hoboken,
where he saw Justice Minturn and got
the order for the boys release. No
bail was required, and the report
reached here from Paterson that prob
ably no further action would be taken.
Max tried to be brave during .he
more than twenty-four hours he wa.
confined in the county Jail. He was
escorted to his cell by stalwart guard,
who slammed the doors with a crash.
Then the boy tried to become friendly
and inquired:
"Please, mister, when will get out 2"
81 don't know" was all the reply he
got.
Sleep came hard to the ten-year-old
slayer of his friend, Samuel Hochman.
He talked about the killing to himself
and his rest was broken by memories
of the accident which cost the life Of
the son of neighbor and intimate OF
.he Rabinowitz family. He was espe-
cially anxious to clear himself before
their playmates and convince them that
he didn't mean to kill Sammy" but
the new gun went off before he knew it.
This morning when Joseph Rabino-
WITT, the sixteen-yesr- brother of
the prisoner, called at the Jail he found
Max crying. To the first efforts to
comfort him he replied:
81 know, but / killed Sammy and
the boys will never be my friends
again. Joe, what are they going to
do to me here? Will they kill me like
big murderers ?" He was told his life
was safe.
The police have arrested lsidor Har-
ris, fifteen, who sold Max the gun dur
ing the absence of his father, julius,
who has a store at 1856 Passaic st.

Debt Includes British Cap

He Explains.
[By Gable to me Tribune. ]

London, Dec. 1.-The Tribune corre-
srondent called David Lloyd Georges
attention to-day to New York dispatches
appearing in the morning papers set
ting forth the comment Of certain
American papers regarding his state
ment in Parliament on Friday that
America owes England 100000, 900.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer took
an immediate interest in the subject
and under his direction the following
statement was issued:
Judging from the comments which
have appeared in the American press
the Chancellor of the Exchequer's
statement on Friday last in the House
of Commons with regard to exchange
between this country and the Unit I.
States of American appears to have
been incompletely reported in Amer
ica. Mr.. Lloyd Georges actual words,
as reported in the officia. report, were:
"'Ameri "a, suppose, owes us nearly
a thousand million pounds in fixed and
floating capital, but we could not buy.
IL was impossible to do any business.
Why? The exchanges had broken
down. This paper machine had crurl-
pied and somehow got out Of order,
and the result was that no business
was possible
"This statement seems to have
reached the United States in the form
that America owed the United King
dom thousand million pounds, with
out any explanatory words that this
sum was owed in fixed and floating
capital. These words, of course, make
it quite clear that Mr.. Lloyd Georges
statement referred to the total of Brit
ish invested capital in America, and in
no way to Americas Indebtedness IN
respect OF the current balance of trade
between the two countries"
In the course of statement concern
ing the financial condition in Great
Britain, Mr.. Lloyd George told the
House OF Commons on Friday that the
financial deadlock which followed the
outbreak of the war was due to in
ability TO collect outstanding debts
abroad. He was quoted as saying that
the United States owed Great Britain
$5,OOO,OOO00O, adding, "but we could
do no business"

directed principally against the front
between Bielawy and Sobota. To the
north of Lowicz our offensive was

[By Cable 70 The Tribune I

By Cable TO The Tribune
Petrograd, Dec. 1.-Fighting with a
desperation that has as yet kept IT'S
twenty mile of front intact, tho sec
tion of the German army cut off west
of LODI, in Russian Poland, is holding
off the violent attacks of the Cars
troops, while heavy reinforcements are
gathering for its aid thirty or forty
miles north along the Vistula.
The fanks of the isolated German
corps are continuously harassed by
Cossack cavalry divisions, and the
losses OF the invaders have been ex-
tremely large, but the Russians thus
far have been unable to crowd them
back from their well intrenched posi-
tions. The line which the partially
surrounded force is holding extends
from Szadek, southwest of LODI.
through Zgierz TO Strykow, north of
the larger city.
Break Through Russian Line.
1t appears, however, that, fighting for
their lives and in the knowledge that
q real defeat would end the German de
fensive and compel them to fall b&ck
on their own frontiers, the German
troops succeeded in breaking through
the Russian lines in one place.
Around Lowicz hard fighting is lin
progress. On the high road from VIE
lun to Petrokoff, about twenty-six miles
from each place, at Szczercow, the Ger
mans made determined attempt TO get
forward. They were repulsed NTH Sc
rious losses. Over the remainder II
the line on this front throughout yes
terday an artillery duel was maintained.
Official news from Poland continues
to be scanty. though of the intensity
of the fighting there can be no doubt.
The Germans, when they started for
Warsaw, dashed full tilt into a mass
of Russian troops and forced their way
so far in that the Russians closed on
them. This was taken for days in
Petrograd to mean that the surrender
or annihilation of the German divis-
ions vas inevitable, but Il is gradually
becoming clearer that the invaders
have fighting chance for escape.
Attack German Supply Line.
Further details of the capture by the
Russians of four boatloads of machine
guns and other war supplies at Plock,
on the Vistula, show that the Germans
have been relying mainly upon the
River Vistula for an easy line of com
municatlon to their armies in Poland.
The supplies Of ammunition, with
which the men have been so lavish.
have been brought by barges, which,
starting from Dantzic, Elbing, Grau.
denz, Bromberg, Thorn and other
points conveniently reached by German
railways, have gone up the river to the
heart of the German positions in
Poland.
The Russians have made only be-
ginning of cutting this line Of COM
munication by the capture Of the four
fully laden parges IN the neighborhood
of Piock. The next landing place avail
able is Vlotslavsk. This means that az
supplies have to be brought day's
march farther than was the case before
the capture Of these barges. and IL may
be presumed that the Russians will no,
b content with capturing one river
convoy, but will proceed to make this
line OF communication generally un.
available for the Germans al the front

rBy Telegraph TO The Tribune.

FL Paso, Tex. Dec. General Ia
pata, whose forces hold Mexico City,
has rejected all overtures made by
General Villa for a joint possession
OF the capital. and his troops were
fighting to-day in the streets of Mexico
City suburbs, according to private ad-
vices received by prominent Carranza
men here tonight.
The advices say that Villa has made
his headquarters at San Angel, a sub
urb Of the capital, which overlooks a
portion of the city, and is not far
from Chapultepec Castle, which, it is
claimed, is held by Zapata troops
Villa to-day sent $4,000 men toward
Mexico City, but they were driven
back by Zapata troops, the report says,
and battle was fought in the out
skirts of the capital.
The Carranzista dispatches declare
that Zapata is defying Villa and has
commenced the formation of an inde-
pendent government, with himself as
President and with Mexico City as his
capital, declaring that as Carranza has
deserted the capital and Villa is un-
able to take and protect it he feels
that it is his duty to protect the peo-
pie and the foreign interests.
No Villa Report Of Battle.
Villista dispatches TO Juarez to-day
said that Villa was waiting in sub
urb of Mexico City for the arrival of
President Gutierrez, and that he and
Gutierrez would enter together. villa
men have had no report of fighting be-
tween Villa and Zapata troops, and dis
credited the dispatches received in Fl
Paso. They declare that the last word
received from Villa at Tula was that
he and Zapata had reached an agree
ment and that the Villa troops would
take charge Of the capital to-day.
