NO REQUEST MADE YET
FOR ATTACHES SAFETY
U. S. Is Waiting on Germany Be-
fore Taking Up Negotiations
With the Allies.

No request has come from the Ger
man government at Berlin or the en-
bassy here for safe conducts for the
return to Germany Of the military and
naval attaches. Boyd and Won Papen.
whose recall has been requested. Con-
sequently the State Department has
not yet taken up with the allied gov
ernments the question of securing i'm
munity from arrest of these men.
1t was admitted by the officials that
the case was complicated by the recent
action of an Austrian submarine in the
Mediterranean in arresting and remov-
ing from Greek vessel a British mil
litary attache. That incident might be
regarded as depriving the German gov
eminent of the right to claim immunity
from arrest for its attaches If they
sought to take passage from this
country on neutral merchant vessel.
To Pass on New Attaches.
Touching the replacement Of Capts
Boy-Ed and Won Papen by other Ger
man officers designated for the purpose.
it was said at the State Department
that usually these selections were
made with the assent of the govern
ment to which they were assigned, and
the German government was specially
insistent on its privilege of passing
upon the acceptability of such military
and naval attaches going to Berlin
from foreign countries. Therefore it
could be assumed that the consent of
the United States would first be sought
to the designation of new attaches to
the German embassy in Washington.
Possibly that agreement might be re-
garded as comforting upon them i'm
munity from arrest upon the high seas
while on their way to their new posts,
but no decision has yet been rendered
on that point.

that Capts. Boy-Eu and Won Papen

Russ Victory Reported.

LONDON, December 10.-The follow
ing Russian official communication, re-
ceived In Petrograd from Teheran, and
later sent here, says:
Russian troops have occupied Sultan
Bulak Pass, where insurgent gen.
darmes and German mercenaries had
been terrifying themselves for the past
two weeks under the command of Ger
man and Turkish officers. The road to
Hamadan is now open. The enemy fed
in complete disorder, pursued by our

A Reuter- dispatch from Petrograd
says:
"A telegram from Teheran says that
the Russian legation is informed that
the Russian troops have gained VIC
tory In the direction of Hamadan, de-
feating a force consisting of 500 cav
airy, infantry and insurgent gendarm-
erie and 1900 German and Turkish
mercenaries. of whom a large number
were killed or wounded. The Russian

London Not Alarmed.
The announcement of the Turkish
government that an advance on Alden
was in progress was news to London,
but caused no alarm. The port and
coaling station of Alden are regarded
as impregnable. Strong Notifications
face the whole narrow neck of land
connecting Alden with the mainland.
A previous advance against this Brit
tsh possession. made last July, was un-
successful.

Mrs. Weed Reports to Con.
gressionaI Union on .Wom-
ems Status in U. S. Service.
SAYS LACK OF POLITICAL
POWER MAIN OBSTACLE
Number of Reports Submitted at
This Mornings Session of the
Organizations Convention.

A summary of quiet investigation
regarding the alleged inferior status
OF women in the government service
was the feature of the report of the
chairman of the research committee.
Mrs. Helena Hill Weed, submitted at
this mornings session of the conven-
Woman Suffrage, held in the Cameron
House on Lafayette square.
Mrs. Weeds report was one of a
number of documents relating to mat
tiers of vital Importance to the union
read al this business session, and that
portion of it relating to the govern
ment employees was characterized by
undertaken by the committee"
What 1 shall show you is that the
women's opportunity for pay is not the
same as that of men. and that their
chances of promotion are less" said
Mrs. Weed. She disagreed entirely with
certain statements made in a letter
written. by Charles McIlhenny. presi-
dent of the civil service commission,
to the wonsen's vocational educational
conference of last year. to the effect
employment upon merited demonstra-
tive open competitive examinations
interesting, if true" was Mrs.
weeds comment on this assertion.
pointee is left entirely with the de-
partment or division head, and that is
the great trouble. There are, of course.
positions no woman can fill, but there
are many others in which opportunity
and pay should be equal. and these are
IN many cases denied women. 1t is
the lack of political power on the part
OF the women and not the disabilities
incident to their sex that is the main
obstacle.
Women who have passed examina :
tions with higher marks than men are
found to have been given positions at
from $500 to $500, while the men who
had passed the same tests with lower
marks received from S720 to 5000.

: than we have reasons of supposing.'
"Should Be Pleasant Reading

she will have less on her conscience
!, than we have reasons of supposing."
"ShouId Be Pleasant Reading"
The opinion is express ed by the Globe
that DIR. Won Betf -Hollweg
speech should be pleasant reading for
the allies 1t adds: I'VE hope his conf
dence is not assumed"
Referring to the remarks of the chan
cellor in regard to carryi ns on the war
until the triumph of Germany Is con-
coded, the Globe continues. Ihat is
good news. What was to be dreaded
was that he might rise TO some mig II
conception of statesmansh lp ana en-
deayor by careful manipulation or al
mitted facts to persuade the allies TO
call the struggle draw and accept
patched-up peace. In such an eHort ne
would have had the assistance OF Ger
tain Influences in allied nations.
From that danger-incomparao ply the
worst and most subtle which the allies
have to face-the speech has gone lar
to relieve them.
Summa rizes Object of Speech.
The main object of the speech is sum-
married. by the Daily Chronicle under
four points, first, to deny that Ger
many is seeking peace; second, TO
threaten the entente allies with the
consequences if they do not seek peace
third. to divide the entente allies by
singing out Great Britain as the caus
for the continuance of the war, and
fourth to deny that Germanys mora
position, with regard TO Belgium, IS
any worse than that of the entente
allies.
These" says the Chronicle, are all
fine themes for an orator. But they
are not supported by facts. and II the
chancellor thinks his words at the
present moment can either buliE IN
allies into surrender or cajole thcm
into quarreling among themselves, he
entirely overrates the potency OF his
eloquence-'
Want Peace, Is Belief.
The Daily Graphic. which expresses
the belief that the world will smile at
the idea of Germany offering to foreso
advantages which DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg said would accrue to her
through a prolongation of the war,
says:
People don't talk about peace unless
they want it and it is because the Ger
mans are conscious of the risks of pro-
longing the war that they are talking
so noisily about peace"
The Daily News says:
DIR Won Bethmann- HollweS could
scarcely have had better stage setting
for his speech. The precise significance
of the entente allies retreat from the
wide view it cannot be denied that su-
perficially the power of the German
military machine never has been more
ostentatiously displayed than 1t is to-
day: while the chancellor could with
great FEASIBILITY also point to a pc.
litical triumph for Germany.
The real barrier to peace lies not in
the arms of England, but OF Germany.

Fears Preparedness" Will Hamper.
Fear that Congress might limit riv-
ers and harbors appropriations on ac-
count OF the preparedness program was
expressed at yesterday afternoons SEES
sion by Gov. Edward F. Dunno of Illi-
nois. He pointed out, however. that
Germany. although in the throes of
war. was deN clipping her waterways by
opening new harbors and making 9TH
er improvements for inland navigation.
Less talk of expense and more Of in
vestment should be practtced In con-
nection with rivers and harbors appro-
priations, Representative J. E. Meeker
of st. Louis told the delegates. After
careful investigation. he said. he had
vet to find well cared for waterway
on earth that has not more than paid
it's way.
Criticises Seamen's Act.
Representative William E. Humphrey
Of Washington criticised the seamen's
act. He expressed the opinion that the
defeat Of rivers and harbors bills in
recent years was due not so much to
those who cried pork" or talked of a
lobby. as it was to the condition of the
national Treasury. He looked for lit
tie in the way of appropriations for
rivers and harbors until there was
more money in the Treasury.
Judge D. D. Woodmansee of Cincin-
natl said that rivers and harbors body
did not need any defense, because its
work spoke for it.
Senator James D. Phelan of California
spoke, as did also Representative Ben
G. Humphreys of Mississippi, H L.
Whittemore OF Ardmore, Pa, and A f.
Dillmont of Buenos Ares. Argentina.

We, too. wish to end this war, forced

with our brave Austro- Hungarian, Bull

carried our glorious banners far into
the enemy's lands and who have de-
stroyed the Serbian army. We rely
upon the unshakable position of nur
armies in the east and in the west,
