man success can be discerned. The
Polish winter is close at hand. Cen
erals Janvier and Fevrier have given
powerful support to the Russian cause
in the past, and the enemy forces, COM
posed partly of new levies Of imma-
fure or middle-aged men, will undereo
terrible hardships in Courland during
the coming months. When the spring
comes they will be confronted with
fresh masses of Russians no longer
short of munitions and fired with the
determination 10 recover their lost
territory and end the German menace.
Allies Strong In West.
In the west also no success for the
German arms seems possible. The AL
lies are far stronger than they were
last year. Their new resources OF
heavy guns and ammunition are only
beginning TO come TO the field. The
experience Of last winter will be more
than reversed, and German inferlority
in artillery should tell heavily in the
future. The great French attack in
Champagne in September and our own
have proved that with well conceived
and executed plan the German line cal
be b. oxen wherever the necessary sac
rifce appears justified.
On the Italian front. among the
passes of the Tyrol and in the Carnic
Alps, military activity must be limited
during the winter, but the Italian army
is slowly but surely gaining ground in
the west, and the fall of CoIizlg may
open employment for larger forces,
which must be held in check il Trieste

Austrian victory in this quarter, and
the drain upon the manhood OF Ger
maly's ill-starred vassal mas already
reached serious dimensions.
il was Just when the war of inva-
zion had spent itself in Poland and a
recoil involving danger to the Germans
had set in that the Kaiser's advisers
embarked upon the Balkan adventure.
Frank II. SjmOnds. in The Tribune of
November 81, had lucidly explained the
German plans for striking a blow
against the British Empire in Egypt
and the East. These plans are of long
standing They weren't unknown to

had been crushed by brilliant exhi-

England was not content to stand aside
when the Liberties of Europe were in
deadly peril, and Germany's deliberately

quickly wrecked.
Whether the latest venture is, to
borrow Mr.. Simonds's words, threat

SAFETY ORDINANCE
INSPIRED, HE SAYS
Stewart Brown Declares lie
Could Name Concerns Back OF
Elevator Agitation.

Stewart Brown, president OF the
United Real Estate Owners Assocla-
ton, caused ripple of excitement
Yesterday at the public hearing before
the building committee OF the Board or
Aldermen on the propC sed ordinance
providing for the installation OF SAFETY
devices on passenger elevators IN ONCE
buildings, hotels and department stores:
1t would have been more exciting II
Mr.. Brown had carried out his threat
TO name two concerns which, he sald'
had accelerated the ordinance
There is no doubt that one or two
concerns control the safety devices
which would be used the elevators II
this ordinance were adopted SAID MI
Brown. IL am perfectly wiling 10
name two firms which have accelerated
this ordinance"
Mr.. Brown hesitated Alderman
Crane urged him to name the concerns.
Mr.. Brown finally said that he would
withdraw his statement.
Considerable opposition TO the ordi-
nance DEVELOPED at the hearing. Charles
A. Campbell. representing the Hotel
Mems Association, opposed the ordl-
nance on the ground that il was unwise
TO delegate arbitrary power to the Su-
or might not be a mechanical engineer,
TO reject or accept any device. While
the ordinance provides only for the in
stallation of the devices in elevators IN
course of construction. and in buildings
erected in the future, Mr.. Campbell said
the hotel men felt it would really be
the first step in making the use OF the
devices mandatory in existing Elevators.
He pointed out that this would mean
an added expense of severa! million
dollars to hotel men and other property
owners. He read the reports Of certain
mechanical engineers to the effect that
similar safety devices on the elevators
In the Municipal Building and in an
uptown hotel and department store had
proved unsatisfactory.
The committee will report on the
matter to the Board Of Aldermen next
Tuesday.

Two Advocates of Big Navy
Named on Senate Committee

Washington, Dec. e.-Friends of an
adequate navy were delighted TO hear
to-day that the Democratic steering
committee had decided to assign Sen
ators James d. Phelan, OF California,
and Key Pittman, Of Nevada, to that
committee. Senator .helan succeeds
Senator George c. Perkins on the COM
mittee, while Senator Pittman fills the
vacancy caused by the retirement of
Senator Thornton, II Louisiana.
As Senator Phelan takes the place of
a Republican, his appointment increases
the number OF Democrats on the COM
m:ttee. Because Of this the Repub-
Leans are expected to ask for two
places on the committee, one left by
Senator Pc kins's retirement and the
other to balance the increase in the
number OF Democrats.
Last year the committee stood ten
De. .ocrats 10 seven Republicans. Sem
ators Perkins and Thornton were big
navy m n, and il was feared that small
navy Democrats might be Apo nted.
Their friends say hat Senators Phelan
and Pittman are both in favor Of an
adequate navy.

German Fear Takes Root.
That these states did not use the
power lying in their hands was partly
at least, due TO the fear created by the
Geman propaganda and by the object
lessons of brutal ruthlessness delib-
erately provided in Belgium, France
and Poland. Bulgaria, under a pre-
arranged agreement. was, therefore,
brought in to stab Serbia in the back
and effect with added horrors what
Germany was unable TO accomplish.
The real lesson was the weakness Of
the Central Powers for further ag-
erosion. German methods and insid-
ious propaganda, supported by gold,
were able 20 obscure this lesson. In
America to-day the farreaching plots
against the lives and industries of the
people may have tended TO create an
impression Of invineibility Of German
