ALLIES LOSSES BIG,
THE GERMANS ASSERT

Berlin, Jan. 19.-Claims that the al
lies have lost in killed, wounded and
captured 10000 men since early in
December is made by the war office.
In that time German losses have been
less than one-fourth of that number,
it is asserted.
In summing up the result the war
office said:
Since our enemies assumed the
offensive on the western front on Dec
5 they have been unable to make a
single gain. On the contrary We have
made distinctive gains. We have
gained from two to four miles along
the Aisne front and our guns now
dominate the whole valley. North o!
La Basse and in the Argonnes we have
steadily advanced until now at sew
eral points we occupy positions the
enemy held when they announced the
resumption of hostilities."
Reports from German East Africa
fatty contradict English claims of vic
tories there. 1t Is claimed that in the
fighting at Longa, where 5000 Eng
lish were engaged against 1000 Ger
mans, the British were routed with a
loss of 5000 men

UNTERMYER IS
FIRST WITNESS
Industrial Commission In
vestigating Foundations.
BELIEVES THEY DO GOOD
Prominent New York Attorney Thinks,
However, That Those Big PhiIsn-
thropies Should Be Placed Under
Federal Instead Of State Control.

New York, Jan. 19.-Great philan-
thropic foundations are ably managed
ana do much good, but they should
operate under federal charters rather
than under charters granted by states,
Samuel Untermyer said Mr. Inter
myer was the first witness at the in
yeNgation of the federal industrial
relations commission into the opera
ton of the great charitable institu-
tions.
Mr. Untermyer was questioned by
Chairman Frank p. Walsh. He dis
cussed socialism and socialistic char
ity at some length. The latter. he
said, is necessary II the people are to
receive relief
Speaking of the concentration of
money, Mr. untermyer said he knows
of banking interest which, through
the reorganization of insolvent rail
roads, has come into the control OF
100000 miles of railroads in the Unit
ed States. When such a situation ex-
lists, the witness said, the sharehold-
ers have no power at all in the man
agement of the roads; the directors
and trustees were controlled entirely
by the banks.
Conditions improving.
Mr. Untermyer said he thought la
Dor conditions in America have been
more or less demoralized and that
poverty had been increased by the di-
version of cash in certain directions.
The illicit gathering of large guam
titles of money undoubtedly has
caused considerable poverty" he said.
1T is true, however, that in the past
few years this condition has not been
so bad.
THE concentration of power and
capital OF any kind is grossly unfair
to labor"
The commission plans to hear j. p
Morgan Thursday. AT subsequent
hearings John d. Rockefeller. Jr.

mond, Andrew Carnegie, DR.. Charles
