NEUTRALITY
Not Being Observed by Some
Americans in Berlin Says
aNeWspaper.

Correspondence Of Associated Press.)
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 80 - The
Hamburger Nachrichten complains
that Americans in Germany are act
ing as the representatives OF London
newspapers. this being viewed by the
Nachrichten as hardly in accord with
strict ideas Of neutrality. The Mach
richter says:
Ever war between civilized ma
tions is Initiated by the rupture of
diplomatic relations. Newspaper
representatives in many respects re-
semble diplomatsists, for their task
is to obtain information, and to give
their own country a true insight into
the existing state OF affairs.
Can we take 1t as in the slightest
degree possible that those London
journals which are Ehouing the
greatest hatred toward Germany
can still be maintaining their corre-
spondents lying low in Berlin?
"Of course not. They are Ameri-
cans! Thus they enjoy the protect
tion Of their embassy; and even IL
they place their telegraphic reports
before the German censor, naturally
whatever they send their editors
through the American postsbag goes
through unexamined.

Austros German Armies and
Russian Forces Battling Now
IN earpathian Passes.
! siTEuTON REENFoRcEMENTs
Are Piling Up in the Vicinity Of
labassee in the Western
Field of Operations.


LONDON, Jan. 3O.-Two condi-
lions call particularly for comment
today BY British observers of the
war:
The Austro-G German concentration
IN the Garpathians which is regarded
ss q menace to the Russian armies in
Hukowina and the Russian activities
In East Prussia, which have been
characterized as threat to the Ger
man forces In this territory. Thus at
the extreme ends of the immense
eastern front military operations of
the greatest importance are now de-
yeloping.
AS to the western battlefront an
other big battle in the vicinity OF
Sotssons is confidently expected as is
bitter conflict near LaBassee, where
FOR some time the Germans have been
piling up reenforcements.
Russials new invasion OF East Prus-
sia is becoming we'll defined in Brit
ish eyesgas an outflanking movement.
For some time past this frontier dis
trict has been in Russian hands with
out attracting much attention but
now the invaders have begun series
: of slight western advances along the
fifty miles front from Tilsit south
ward almost as far as Angerburg.
! This front is only about fifty miles to
the east of the Prussian fortress of
sKoenigsberg.
'3 Many miles to the south the COM
,bined Austro-G German armies and the
forcesof Russia are battling in the
snow, In the Carpatnian mountain
passes but as is usual with mountain
fghting the situation is confused,
each side maintaining that the tide OF
battle is running in its favor. 1t will
be hard to form clear picture of the
situation until the Russians emerge
In forceson the Hungarian plains or
the Austro-G Germans hammer them
back to the mountain passes perhaps
causing at the SAME time Russian
retreat in Bulwoina. One effect of
this struggle has been to bring the
Austro-German troops so near the
Roumanian frontier as to fan the
war flame in that country, a fact
which may have an important bear
ing on deciding when Roumania will
enter the conflict.
Little reliable information has
come to hand concerning the fight in
the Caucasus. roundabout runlor
credits Russia with the reoccupation
of Tabriz. The London newspapers
have hailed the fighting to the east OF
El Cantara as the real beginning Of
the Turkish invasion of Egypt, now
seem inclined to qualify THAI asser-
tion. While there has been more un-
important skirmishes to the east of
the Suez canal there Is little proof
that the Turks are advancing in
force.

 IRRITATE WILSON
Frets at Delay in Taking Up Ship Purchase Bill-Hints
 at Extra Session.

Washington, Jan. 15.-T, senators with whom he talked today, the presi dent expressed irritation over the long debate on the District of Colum- bia apprCps:4..son bill, which lie be- licves is being made buffer to post pone consideration of his ship pur- chase oill.
 The injection of the prohibition question into this local bill by Demo crats who submitted the amendment and have spoken in favor of it at much length, is not looked upon with complacency by the chief executive. He is quoted as having frankly toic senators today that if the ship pur- chase bill is not acted upon at this
 session, it will be due to the lack of political foresight on the part of the Democrats, who should be held re sponsible for the failure of his legis lative program. He is limiting broad ly at the likelihood of an extra ses- sion if the ship purchase bill fails.
