GERMANS TRY AGAIN
RENEW ATTACKS SiMULTANE.
OUSLY TO SOUTH AND WEST
OF WARSAW.
HAVE CHANGED THEIR PLANS
Military Men at Russian Capital Think
Austro-German Forces Would
Take Nangorod-Chances Grow
Less Every Day.

Petrograd, Jan. 4, via London
Having for, flied themselves along the
line through Skierniewice, Rawa and
Opocznew, Russian Poland, the Ger.
mans again have renewed their stub
torn attacks simultaneously to the
south and west of Warsaw and have
endeavored to cross the Vistula river
near Czerwinsk, evidently with the in.
tention of directing movement
against Nowo Georgiewsk. This is the
information contained in dispatches
received here from the eastern war
theater
In the south, near Groitzy. the Ger
mans are attempting an advance to-
ward the Vistula, in the region mid
way between Warsaw and Ivangorod,
it is said
The German plan, according to the
dispatches, seems to be to have the
Austro-German forces, which are now
near Konskie and moving in the gen.
eral direction of Radon and Ivango
rod, join the German forces around
Groitzy in beseiging Ivangorod.
Military men here express the opin.
ion that it is now apparent that Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg's real goal is
not so much Warsaw, the capture OF
which would give him only moral
advantage, as Nowo Georgiewsk and
lvangorod, for the Germans, in order
to keep western Poland, must possess
the latter two places. 1t is assured
however, that the Germans are still
60 to 20 miles from Ivangorod and that
every day the probability of taking
these places Is lessened.
The general opinion expressed in
Petrograd is that neither Ivangorod
nor Nowo Georgiewsk can be taken
The Russians, however, do not depre
ciate the perfection of the German
technique and fierceness of attack and
the effect of the German heavy artil
lery now in action in Poland.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: The railroad
rate decision. the continued big ex-
ports of wheat and other products and
the colder weather, which stimulates
retail distribution, exert the most i'm
portant influence in the markets this
week. December, with its holiday in
terruptions and inventories, is not usu-
ally month for large developments
in business activity, but the recent
progress in financial recuperation, the
rapid establishment of big balance
of trade in favor Of this country, and
the rate decision giving a large part
of the relief asked for from the inter
stae commerce commission, combine
to create favorable sentiment In
business. The better feeling has un-
doubtedly impaired a brisker move
ment to the Christmas trade, which,
though less in volume than last year,
has been much more active than ap-
peared possible few weeks ago.
Bank clearings for the week were
$2,06S, 323, Jos, a decrease of 11.2 per
cent, as compared with $2,331 ,35S,727
in the same week last year.
Failures for the week were 376,
against 44e last week, and $50 in the
same week last year.
Wheat exports were 6,579,942 BUSH
els. against 3,s04,7s3 year ago.

Washington-The immigration bill
containing the restrictive literacy test
for admission of aliens, which has
been the obstacle in immigration re-
form legislation for the greater part of
two national administrations, passed
the senate Saturday by vote of so to

recorded despite the fact that Presi-

The vote in the senate indicated
that the bill could be repressed by

measure. Senators who voted against
the bill were Brandegee McCumber,

Although the senate amended the
house bill in several particulars, the

an additional exemption to Belgium

GERMANY WANTS OUR TRADE
Attitude on Transfer to American Flag
Of English Built Vessels Stated.

Attitude on Transfer to American Flag
Of English Built vess els Stated.
Washington.-The attitude of the
German government toward the trans
fer to American registry of British
built ships is reported in a cablegram
from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin,
dated December %, which was pub
lished last Saturday in the Daily Com
merce reports, issued by the foreign
commerce bureau.
Inquiry was directed by Mr.. Gerard
to ascertain IL there would be objec-
ton to the exchange of American cot
ton by such vessels for German prod
ucts, and the reply, he states, was SUBJ
stantially as follows:
ut may be stated that the transfer
to the American flag of "a British YES
sci after war has been started is not
valid per Sc but the German govern.
ment, reserving the right at any time
to withdraw its consent, is ready
where such ships are engaged only in
direct trade between American and
German ports and carrying American
goods into German ports and return
ing German material consigned to and
for use only in the United States to
waive the invalfdity of such transfer"
The message adds that it would be
expedient in the view Of the German
foreign office that an official state
ment Of the purpose Of such vessels
to engage only in the traffic mentioned
be prepared by an American official
and that safe conduct for each round
trip be obtained from the German am
bassador here requesting German war
vessels not to interfere with the
steamer.

UNCLE SAM GETS ANXIOUS
Wants to Know Why British Takes
Such Liberties.

Washington.-Whil no word came
from Ambassador Page Saturday as to
the character of the reply which Great
Britain will make to the American note
of protest concerning interference with
American trade there were several de-
velopments in the general shipping sit
uation.
The United States asked Great Brit
ain for information as to how the lat
ter's statement made early in Novem-
Der, that naval stores, including rosin,
camphor or turpentine, would be re-
garded as noncontraband, will be re.
conciled in actual practice with the
notification from the British foreign
office Of week ago saying these prod
ucts now are absolute contraband. In.
formation is sought as to how cargoes
en- route are to be affected and
whether resinous products are in
cluded in the classification.
The Italian ambassador informed
the state department that while stat
istics would make it appear that ex-
traordinary amounts of copper ship
ped from the United States to Italy
might be for unneutral purposes, the
fact Of the matter was that as Ger
many needed her own copper Italy
could no longer import from the coun-
try Immediately to the north of her,
but must seek the metal in the Amer
lean markets.
President \. iIson Hopeful.
Washington.-Offici of the Wash
ington government expect the coming
week to clear the air Of much of the
uncertainty prevalent over the seiz-
ure of American cargoes and ships by
the allies. President Wilson and his
advisers are confident that Great Brit
ain will recognize that the position of
the United States as set forth in its
note does not differ from that which
Great Britain herself has repeatedly
maintained In previous wars in which
England was a neutral.
