ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Great Britain's preliminary reply to the Am erican note requesting better treat ment of American shipping was made public simultaneously here and in Lon don hy mutual agreement. It grants the justice of the principles set forth in the American note, but defensively cites statistics proving American ship ping In certain instances has greatly increased instead of being hampered, and that Great Britain is not respon- sible for much interference even where there is suspicious shipping.
 Particular stress is laid upon cop per shipments to Italy since the be- ginning of the war which show more than double for the corresponding pe- riod last year. The copper sent to Enrope other than to belligerents, Hol- land and Italy is shown to have been almost five times that of the previous year.
 With such figures" the British note says, the presumption is very strong that the bu k of the copper consigned to these countries recently is intended not for their own use but to belliger- ent who cannot import direct.
 There were four consignments of copper and aluminium for Sweden de- tained, which positive evidence shows was definitely destined for Germany The note says only forty-five shipments were seized out of 773 vessels and only eight vessels taken to the prize court. one of which was released. The note which was addressed to the American Ambassador at London promises a more elaborate answer and suggests that further instances of British inter ference will be furnished, It calls at tention to the report that copper may be shipped in bales of cotton because cotton is not contraband It cites the | fact that cotton trade was demoral- I ized to prove that the state of wal (COntinued on Page FOur)

bRAWNER ID bE CHIEF IF POLICE
 V|CE BR|SB0|s
We'll Known Brick Contrac- tor Rendered Office by City Manager Parish and is to Assume Position OH February 1

Walter Brawner is to he the next chief of police of Phoenix. His ap- pointment will become effective Feb ruary 1, the day selected for the re tirement of George O. Brisbois as head of the police department. That Brawner is the choice of City Mama ser Parish to succeed the incumbent has neither been officially announced by the manager nor acknowledged by ,Brawner. Nevertheless The Re publican is in position to state the position and has given his ac- ceptance.
 For some time it has been appar- ent that Manager Parish intended to make a change in the office of the chief of police. As long ago 5s September 1 the position was ten dered to Rrawner, but he declined to accept it at that time. Now that Manager Parish has determined 10 make the change. and realizing that a vacancy is to be created, Brawner has accepted the position rendered him. Just when official announce ment of the appointment of Brawner will be made is not definitely known, but it likely will not be much be- fore the closing days of January. Walter Brawner is one of the most prominent brick contractors in the southwest and one of the most in fluential citizens in Phoenix. He is Kentuckian by birth and was ser geant-at-arms of the Kentucky legis- | lature at the time of the shooting of | Governor William Goebel of whom he was close friend.
 In the ten years or more that Brawner has lived in Arizona he has made scores of friends. He is q striking character. for he has com hined unfaiing courtesy with abso- | lute integrity in all of his business
 dealings It is the general opinion
 of those who know him best that he i possesses those qualifications which
 should make for success in his new
 office

Water in Trenches

GENEVA, Jan. 10.-Despite the fact there is more than a foot of water in the trenches, fighting in Alsace con- tinues. Steinbach has been taken and re taken six times which accounts for conflicting reports. The Germans have already lost in killed and wounded 5000, according to reliable reports. The French now occupy Steinbach.
 With the latest German official statement claiming Steinbach, the above makes the reports more con flicting than ever.
 Belfort, a great French fortress, is filled with prisoners-men mostly for ty years old or more. At Basel and Dele (eleven miles southeast of Bel fort) firing of heavy guns is heard night and day.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl


 LONDON, Jan. 10.-The British re- Fly to the American note occupies the attention of tnc press and inc , ,nlblic in the absence of important news from the battlefields What llt- tie news is published is mainly repe- titions of previous reports. EXteH- sive action on the western front lS prevented by flooded conditions. From the coast to the river Disc the coun- try is under water and rivers have | oyertopped their banks. Rain and mud keep the infantry out of ac- lion, but the big guns are active. l Along the Aisne valley, through the champagne district the french are pushing their offensive and or ganiZihg on ground recently gained These advances were made at heavy cost. A British eye witness who has been the official historian of events at the front emphasizes the import ance of the artillery and high eX- plosives. and claims artillery super ! iority for the allies, who are utlliZ- lirg it to the utmost.
 In Western Argonne the Germans claim gains and to have repulsed the French attempts to carry thelr trenches in Woevre, Alsace. The Germans furnish the only news from the east, saying the Russian offen- 1 sive toward Mlawa was unsuccess- 1 ful and their forces were driven back.
 In the Caucuses the Turks made q stand on the frontier near Kara . Urgan, fiercely attacking the Russian lines Seemingly the Russians be- lieve the report that the Turkish cruiser .Goeben has been damaged, 1 for their Black Sea fleet, which is superior to the Turkish without the Goeben, has been attacking Turkish { ports and destroying shipping.
 The only development near the east is the departure of NJ. Guena- dieff, former Bulgarian minister of foreign affairs, for Rome. on a semi official mission to ascertain the at titude of Italy toward possible fu- ture CO., ordination of Italo-B -Bulgarlan interests in the European war.

 Exports To Europe
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArCH1


 BALTIMORE, Jan. 10.-Railroads entering this city sent out notices to- day that they were obliged to place temporary embargo on grain for European export from Baltimore, ef- fective tomorrow This action was taken because of the tremendous movement and insufficiency of vessel tonnage engaged in the export trade. The largest grain business in the history of this port has been handled during the last few months, there having been an average monthly movement of between S,500,000 and 9,000,000 bushels.
 Elevators here have a large supply of grain in storage and several large shipments for export are in transit.

London, Sept 20-The Germans
have occupied Wilma and by a wide
sweeping movement to the north of
that city have succeeded in almost, If
not entirely, surrounding portion of
the Russian army, which is fighting in
the railway triangle between Wilma,
Ida and Vileika.
At any rate, the Russian forces in
this district either must fight their
way out eastward or retire in south
easterly direction. for the only rail-
way left entirely in their hands is
that which runs from Wilma to Ida
and thence to Baranovitchi.
The army of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg, which took Wilma and
has reached Vileika, to the east of
Wilma, is working in close co-opera-
ton with that of Archduke Leopold
of Bavaria in an effort to catch part
Of the Russian army. an operation
which has been SO often tried with

commenced their drive in Western
