New York, Dec. 9.-Telegraphlng
to the American Red Cross, Consul
General Hanna asks that 1000 cheap
blankets be sent to him at Monterey,
Mexico, to relieve the suffering ma
tives who have appealed for help. He
reports that food supplies are short,
though citizens Of San Antonio, Tex,
have sent him carload of food and
clothing.
Several outlying towns are appeal
ing for help" he continues. IF the
winter keeps cold there would be
great suffering from hunger and cold.
After four years of war this whole
country is short of food. l will make
all supplies and money go as far as
possible"

Crossing of River From Allies
and Advance Through Burn
ed Forest of Agreement.

Berlin, Dec. 80. (By wireless to Lon
don)-The German official statement
given out in Berlin says the German
attacks in Poland have made progress
and that Russian advances have been
repulsed.
I'm Poland on the right bank of the
Vistula, on branch of the Bzura, and
on the Rawka rivers our attacks have
made progress. In the region south Of
Inowlodz strong Russian attacks have
been repulsed."
Undoubtedly the Russians have
strengthened their forces opposing the
Austrians In Galicia and the latter will
be compelled to make new dispositions
of their troops, which will require
some time."
See No SIav Gain.
Local experts say the Russian occu-
patton of the line from Krosno to Jas
10 is no real gain for the Russians, but,
on the contrary, is a weakening of
their position. This view, however, is
undoubtedly too optimistic and the
fact must be faced that the Russians
extreme left wing is proving itself SUI
perior to its opponents for the present.
The Russians action in strengthening
their forces there undoubtedly is due
to their realization of what the en-
circling Of their flank in Galicia would
signify.
Berlin, via London by Wireless, Dec.
S0.-An official statement reading as
follows, was given out in Berlin:
In the western arena of the war we
gained some ground after relatively
unimportant engagements, near Nieu-
port and to the southeast of Ypres.
Several strong French attacks to
the northwest of st. Menehould have
been repulsed with heavy losses to
the enemy. We captured 200 prison
ers.

ture by US of one fortified French

U. S. THREAT SCARES BRITAIN
Wilson's Threat Is Biggest Surprise
to England Since the Venezuelan
Incident.

London, Dec. 30.-While the note
sent by the United States to Great
Britain insisting upon early improve
ments in the treatment accorded to
American shipping by the British fleet
has not yet reached the British foreign
office, British officials have read it's
contents as cabled in press dispatches
from Washington, and they manifest
ed deep interest in the elimination of
this serious controversy.
Overshadows the War.
The papers gave larger headlines
to the American protest than they de-
vote to the developments of the war
itself. 1t is generally regarded as the
gravest incident in the relations Of
Great Britain and the United States
that has occurred since the Venezuelan
affair The seriousness with which
the situation is regarded among we'll

tween Great Britain and the United
States within a year.
Seizure Not Protested.
1t was pointed out that the United
States does not protest against either
the seizure or the search of her vessels
by British warships, but mainly
against the manner of doing it.
VIII Demand Damages.
Washington, Dec 30.-This govern
ment intends after the war to hold
Great Britain to strict monetary &C
count for any violation of rights to
American shipping.
President Wilson made this enIpha-
ticaFy evident in discussing the dis
patch of a blanket protest to England
against transgression of America
maritime rights. Financial restitution
will be demanded.
He held that this note was not a
threat to Great Britain. He insisted
that it was merely putting the shoe
on the other foot or, in other words,
only applying the rules Great Britain
has heretofore insisted on in time of
war when her own trade was affected.
