Won't Seize Foodstuffs.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 26-C0unt
Won Bernstorff, the German ambas-
sador, notified the state department
that his government has given Off
cial assurance that no foodstuffs
shipped from the United States to
Germany will be seized for military
or other governmental use.
The order of the Federal council
of Germany for the seizure of all
stocks of corn, wheat and flour by
February l, had been construed by
some officials here as likely to de-
prive the owners of the carge Of
the American steamer Wilhelmina of
the right they claim to land the food
supplies in Germany. The basis of
their claim was the declaration that
the grain was not intended for the
German army, or the German gov
ernment but for -combatant indi-
viduals, and therefore not subject to
seizure according to the terms Of the
Hague convention.

relations which is investigating great
philanthropic foundations and indus

ROCKEFELLER, JUNIOR, SAYS HIS FATHER HAS

To most of these inquiries Rockefel-

did not know it. Questioned concern
ing his fathers gifts he said he had no
data which would show .'how much
more the world would have benefited
if this quarter of a billion dollars had
been given to labor in increased Wag-
es." Rockefeller has now testified ten
solid hours and will continue tomorrow.
Mr.. Rockefeller said he was not
aware that for 23 years no verdict had
been found against the Colorado Fuel

LONDON, Jan. 26-The Germans,
who are reported from Holland to be
making preparations for a big mill
tary venture to celebrate the En-
peror's birthday, tomorrow, already
have made somewhat more deter
mined effort than usual against the
French and British lines in Flanders
and northern France They delivered
an attack on the first division of
the British force on either side of
the Labassee canal. Both the British
and French officials assert that all
attacks failed of their object. and
the Germans suffered heavy losses.
The Germans, on the other hand,
while admitting their attack on the
British north of the canal was un-
successful, say on the south side of
the waterway their efforts resulted
in complete success, and that the
British attempt to recapture these
trenches was repulsed with heavy
losses A hospital at Bethune was
shelled by the Germans, and the
wounded had to be removed to Bou-
uogne. There was also heavy fight
ing east and west of Craonne. in
Argonne and in Alsace.
German attacks were followed by
a heavy bombardment by the British
artillery of the German positions be-
yond Labassee in which, according
to a report from Boulogne, one big
German gun vas Destroyed, while
the Germans were prevented from
getting second heavy gun into
position. This was on Saturday.
On Monday the Germans made
their attacks, and some of the hard
est fighting of the campaign took
place. The Russians are making
another effort to advance in East
Prussia, while in Poland there is
slackening in the fighting on both
sides for the moment. The Russians
appear to be concentrating on their
offensive north of the lower Vistula.
while the Austro- Germans are max
ing preparations to meet the Russian
advance through the passes of the
Carpathians, and in southeastern

Russian submarines made their ap-
pearance in the western portion Of
the Baltic and succeeded in torpedoe-

which, however. reached port with
the assistance of a Swedish steamer.
Their activity stopped the trade car
ried on by German steamers between
Germany and Sweden.
The German cruiser Gazelle, accord
ing to Copenhagen dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph, was struck by
two torpedoes discharged by subma
rines and was discovered adrift off
Ruegen. in the Baltic, by the Swedish
ferry steamer King Gustave which
toWed her TO Sassnitz. The Gazelle was
badly damaged
A Reuter- dispatch from Amsterdam
quotes the Berlin Telegram as saying
the Gazelle was attacked near Rueger
by a hostile submarine and suffered
slight damage. There were no losses
among the crew. The dispatch added
the cruiser entered a German harbol

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-An ap-
peal to congress to go slow in eX-
pending millions for battleships un-
til it can build in the light Of the
lessons of the European war, was
voiced in the senate by Senator
Tillman, chairman of the naval COM
mittee He opposed the building of
any dreadnaughts this year, despite
the administration program. and Of
fered an amendment to the pending
naval appropriation bill which would
direct the secretary of the navy to
submit to the next congress plans
and specifications for battleships of
a type most desirable in view of the
experience in Europe. He suggested
that half a dozen or more fast battle
cruisers would best serve the country
at present.
"Already the fight between the
fleets of two opposing navies in the
North Sea has demonstrated one
thing" said Tilman. that is that
speed is of vital Importance in any
war craft we are to build, whether a
! battle cruiser or a dreadnaught. The
faster German cruisers got away
from the British. but the slower
| Bluecher. although faster than any
battleship We have, was sunk. Yet
the general board urges the construc-
+ ton of more battleships"
4 He said if contracts are now let
and later we find more speed neces-
sary it would cost the government
very much to make the change. The
senator asserted the war undoubted-
ly would explode many theories about
battleships and submarines. He re-
ferred to the German AZ centimetel
guns, adding:
The Germans or some other natior
may be holding in reserve some
devils engine which will make super
