Greene, Rockefeller Aide,
Gives Views On Indus f

New York. Feb 3-Jerome D.
Greene, secretary OF the Rockefeller
Foundation, resumed the stand today
before the Federal commission on in
dI1stria1 relations conducting an in
quiry here into the causes OF indus
trial unrest Mr.. Greene told OF the
various organizations with which he
Is connected Since he resigned from
the personal staff of John D. Rookie
feIler, Sr., he said, he had taken no.
part in the Rockefeller enterprises.
His entire time was devoted to the
work OF the Rockefeller Foundation

said 1t was possible that investments
and the business of the Rockefeller
phflanthorpfes were discussed at the
same meeting at which the inter
Iockedr directors were present.
The word publicity, MIR. Greene
said, had been given black eyer
because OF methods by which edf-
torfal and news space used to be pur-
chased in newspapers ''The honest
publicity as dispensed by Ivy j. Lee,
the witness thought, was perfectly
fair and proper.
The foundations now employs only
three clerks. The number 6y be sin
creased later when the foundation is
a little older. MT. Greene said.

ing.

London, Feb. 8 British mil
itary experts are unable to ex-
plain the sudden and violent
offensive movements begun by
the Germans to the west Of
Warsaw, in Russian Poland
and in the vicinity of La Bas-
see, in the northwestern end
of the battle line in France
In both these regions there
has been return to the old
style of German battering, the
men being hurled forward in,
close formation at great sacri-
flee with, British reports say,
little permanent gains.
In Russian Poland the Ger
mans are holding some. ground
in front of Warsaw which these
attacks netted but the recent
German onslaughts on the
western battle front, military
officials assert, almost invaria-
bly, have resulted in failure to
consolidate the positions gain
ed.
1t is suggested that Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg, the German com
rnander, is again hammering toward
the Polish capital with the idea OF
holding there Emperor Nicholas
crack troops which otherwise might
be transferred to the Carpathtans
where the Russianse and Austro-Ger-
man forces still are fighting in the
mountain passes Neither side has
been able to force the other onto the
plains though the Russians claim to
be more than, holding their own.
La Bassee, 12 miles south of the
Belgian border, long has been a cru
ciaI point on the western front and
the British troops congregated in the
neighborhood have suffered heavily.
The Germans have declared time
and again that, other things being
losses upon the British and this. to-
gether with the better preparation
of the ground by the artillery, may
account for the renewed sIaugh-
ter.
Advice to Shipping.
English newspapers are com
menting extensively on the menace
to be found, in German submarines,
particularly to merchant shipping
The papers are filed with editorial
advice as to how shippers should act
in case of attack The more con-
servative writer's say a ship should
not attempt[to ram a submarine as
this would place her in the category
of a naval opponent and leave no
reason why the submarine should
spare the crew.

New York, Feb. 3-The govern

Prince Line, Hamburg-American line
the L4amport & Holt Line and others
charging restraint of trade In con-
nection with freight and passenger

Brazil and against the American

The government suits were fled
about two years ago. That against
the Prince Line and others charged
that the companies composed the So
called Brazilian conferences; defend
ants to the other suit were all mem
bers of the so-caI1ed Far Eastern
Conference, it was alleged. In
that for some years the defendants
had engaged in an unlawful con-
spiracy to restrain trade and destroy
competition in ocean carriage be-
tween ports in the United States and
specified foreign ports and to mon
opolize such trade.
The alleged unlawful acts Of the
members of the so-ca1Ied far eastern
conference were confined to freight

The federal district court was ask

OF the combinations Illegal and to
enjoin certain alleged practices in
conducting the business.
In disnissinge the petition against
the Prince Line and is co-defendants
whereof one is a British Line and
two arc German Lines, Judge Lacom-
be, in his opinion, asserts that the
combination complained of having
been practically dissolved as a re-
suit of the European war land in
consequence the questions presented
have become largely academic and 1t
seems unnecessary to undertake any
exhaustive discussion of the facts

RUSSIAN

Petrograd, Feb 8.-Successes for
the Russian arms in the region of
Warsaw and in the Carpathians are
recounted in an off1cial Russian state
ment issued here today. Conf1rma-
ton is given also to the report that
German troops have been sent to the
Carpathians to assist their Austrian
allies. The text OF the communication
follows:
ssThe engagements in the region of
Mlawa have continued favorable to
our troops. On the left bank Of the
Vistula the battle on the roads from
Bo1imow proceeded on Feb. with
considerable intensity. A large num-
Der OF heavy and light batteries par
ticfpated energetically In the engage
ment.
The German attack on the morn
ing of the second, north of Borjimow,
was repu1sed with great losses for the
enemy. A violent combat was begun
south of the village of Goun1ine where
we recaptured advanced trenches
sion of a small farm is still unde-
cided.
South of the Pe1ica near Dounaiet7
the nemy increased the intesity OF his
bombardment, continuing night and
day, but attempts of the enemy's
troops to make progress were without
success.
I'm the Carpathians, the conflict
continued January 81 and Feb. 1. Our
forces advanced, fighting. along the
broad front at Duk1a Pass as far as
the lower San, having crossed the
principal ridge of mountain ridge in
the region of the Jastiska and Mezo-
laboroz where we took a battery of
six cannon, two mortars, a number of
rapid drers and numerous prisoners.
ttAn offensive movement under
taken by the enemy southeast of
Uzsok Pass was repulsed with enor-
nous losses.
News relative to the Transports
ton of German troops to the Car
pathian front finds confirmation in the
fact that on Feb. 2 southeast Of
Beskid Pass we destroyed a battalion

remnant of which, notably battalion

from Book Of Genesis Des-

Rev. W. H. feTPus0H ldhcS
from Book of Genesis Des-
cribing Fall Of Man
The Union Services were largely
attended again last night, when Rev
l.. N. Ferguson, pastor of Trinity M.
z. Church preached the sermon.
He took as his text "The serpent
beguiled me and I did eat" He said
i was not taking undue liberty with
the text to translate it thus, THE
Serpent caused me to forget,
and with that idea, he pressed the
subject. Men forget Gods good
ness, mercy and love, and this IS
what the Devil wants, US to forget
our duties to God. and our fellow
men. The Almighty demanded obed-
;encc. love and loyalty, but Satan
causes men to forget. He closed with
an earnest appeal to think of GOD,
to remember our duties and surren-
der the life to Christ.
