WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-one or
two generations should pass before

asked Taft whether Japan might not

we were going to do about 1t. IL the
Japanese were aggravated by our,
treatment of Japanese in California,
THAT might happen" answered
the witness, but I don't think they
would seize the Philippines for any

is quite true the islands are far from

FROM FRENCH SOIL
Strong Offensive Movement in Ar.

Drive Back Hosts Of Kaiser.
ALSACE CAMPAIGN VIGOROUS
Germans are Reported TO be Alarmed
Over Activity OF French I'm Province
and are Developing Heavy Ddlyes
TO Hold Gallo Troops Back-No
Gains are Made.

PARIS. Jan. with the begin
ming OF the new year experts were OF
opinion that the second prelude" of
the pending campaign in the western
war zone had begun. They believed
point had been reached where Gen.
eral Joffre considered the allies were
strong enough TO hold the Germans
at bay in the extreme north and that
the offensive he was developing in the
Argonnes and Vorges was designed 10
force the invaders from France.
French activity in Alsace was plain
ly alarming the Germans. They had
been strongly reinforced and were de-
veloping heavy drives against the
French in the Moselle and Meuse re-
gions. and strong counter attacks in
the Argonnes.
These moves were interpreted as at.
tempts 10 divert Gallo attention from
Alsace. but II was said at the war
office the Kaiser had failed 10 make
material gains in any OF the quar-
ters mentioned.
Along the allies left wing fierce ar.
tillery fighting continued today.
An attempt by Franco British fore
es TO take the German positions in
the Labasse region failed but so also
had the German counter attack in the
same district. ea
II was clear that Joffre wasn't wor-
rying concerning the situation along
the left since all reinforcements had
been dispatched from his cented and
right.

Though he had promised to take

Is held up by Marion Jack and VIII
Moore as showing inconsistency and
insincerity because the Judge had or

letter addressed to Judge Lowell,
Messrs. Jack and Moore show up the
latter's double dealing and make It
clear he brought proceedings against

fense for one man to hold office,
when he was not qualified, as for an
other man to do so.

pose was somewhat shaken when you

considered certain. This wasn't the
official opinion but It was the judg-
ment OF competent naval authorities.
The admiralty is Withholding de-
tails OF the disaster. Latest accounts
were that l51 OF the crew were saved
Hopes were entertained that fisher
men had rescued n few more.
Assuming the survivors numbered

least 55s.

sunk 10 minutes after the explosion
The admiralty issued a list OF the
FormIdable's 35 officers. headed by
Captain Loxley. with the comment
that all were believed 10 have per-
ished.
Survivors declared their escape
was little short OF miraculous. Di-
rectly following the explosion life
boats were ordered launched but the
time was so short and the sea so high
that only one cutter was fioated after
leaving the davits. Several boats were
smashed against the Formidable's
sides as they were being lowered.
