,Insistent on Her Substantial
Claims in Regard to Right
to Search Ships.
REPLY DISSECTED
IN OFFICIALDOM
Secretary Bryan and Other Officials
Decline to Comment on British Re.
ply and Contents Of Note Will Not
Be Made Public Until After Prssi-
dents Return to Washinston-6ritish
Insist on Right to Define contraoand.

Washington, Jan. o. Secretary
Bryan and other officials were today
going over Great Britain's reply to the
American note protesting on the
seizure of American ships on the high
sea. Awaiting the return Of President
Wilson, all officials refused to comment
on it. When the president arrives the
reply will be laid before him.
The study of the reply has convinced
the officials that it will be necessary
to await the supplementary note before
continuing the negotiations. That, of
course, will not prevent immediate con-
sideration OF special cases that may
arise in connection with new seizures
>or detentions.
Friendly But Unyielding.
Official circles regard the British
position as conciliatory, and while
Great Britain has not yielded any Of
her substantial claims in regard to the
right of search Of neutral ships, the
London foreign office has shown a dis
position to discuss the subject in a
friendly manner
There Is disposition on the part Of
the United States officials to separate
the question Of the manner of the
searching OF ships from other questions
involved. The British note makes It
apparent that there must be full OPP
portunity to discuss such questions as
the right of a belligerent nation to
prescribe for itself what shall be con-
sidered contraband and to determine
what 1t may allow to be exported to
neutral countries which may serve as
gateways for admission to an enensy's
country

London. Jan. s.-Coincident with
their new movement from the north.
the Germans have renewed their vio-
lent offensive movement near Warsaw.
They are hacking their way forward In
some points but are driven back In

leaves the situation in Poland as a

The Russian sweep thru the Austrian
forces continues unchecked. and the
army is expected by British observers
soon to be we'll over the mountains

Servia with her army more or less
rehabilitated, is described In London
as attacking the dual monarchy from
the south with renewed vigor. Austria
declares the latest Servian attempts

credence is given to the plan of Ger

The present position Of Austria
Hungary, according to observers. who
today are giving expression to their

Situation in West. N
The opposing forces in the west are
SO nearly evenly matched and the posi-
ton OF their trenches are such that
sapping and bomb throwing must be
relied on to gain, and barring any vic
tory in the sporadic artillery duels, this
form Of warfare undoubtedly will per-
sist along the line in Flanders and in
France until the weather improves the
ground and permits more extensive in
fantry operations.
Several days have passed since the
first reports of Russian victories over
the Turks, but the Turks have not yet
admitted any reversals.

Dec. 49,, (via London). JAM l9.-';Even
the occupation of Warsaw and Of the
Vistula line would by no means signify
the end of the campaign. The Rus
slams. with their immense territories,
can fall back indefinitely.
! Defeated at Warsaw, they can fall

and eventually on Vladiyostok. OF

r Thus spoke Germany's popular hero.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, to- the
Associated Press correspondent in the
course Of four hour conversation to-
day. He explained how the mid d-winter
Poland campaign, in which the Rus
sian advance was checked and rolled
back, had involved frightful blood let

Never in the days Of the battle of
Tannenberg and the retreat of the
Russion general Hennekampf's army
from the Mazurian lakes. did the
Russians lose SO heavily as in the
sanguinary fighting around Wlock-
lawek, Kutno, Lodz and Lowicz, the
field marshal said.
He added that at least 100000 Rus
slams had been killed or wounded since
Nov. 13, and that 10000 other Rus
slams had been made prisoners. The
contest, according to Won Hindenburg.
had been proceeding everywhere favor
ably to the Germans and Austrians
since the fall of Lodz and the com
mencement OF the Russian retreat. Yet
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg de-
clared that all the fighting had not
been taken out Of the Russians.
So large of frame is the field mar
shall that he seemed under, instead OF
over, the average height. He has a
large head and rugged shoulders and
wears a heavy sweeping mustache, less
aggressive in curve than the emperor's,

Near Perthes the enemy delivered
