POLAND CAMPAIGN MYSTERY
Just What Is Going on Not Known
Through Official Channels.

London, Jar. 12.-There is consider
able mystery both here and in Petro,
grad Is to the actual conditions Of the
fighting in central Poland along the
Bzura-Ravka line and north of the Wis.
tula on the road from Mlawa through
Przenysz toward Novogeorgiewsk, the
Russian fortress protecting Warsaw
on the right flank.
Apparently the Germans, besides a
movement against the Polish capital
from the north, are attempting to
cross the stretch of undefended terri
tory between the lower Ravka and
Warsaw. They have succeeded in
making their way across the river q
number of times and there has been
violent fighting at Sukha, east OF
Spierniewice, and no appreciate
progress ha been made.
Military experts profess to be UNI
able TO understand the present trend
of German tactics, especially since
Marshal Won Hindenburg is sacrificing
a great number of men for no apparent
purpose and certainly with no result
as yet.

Ship Test Case Not Relished.

London. Jan. 12.-The question Of
the status of the steamship Dacia,
formerly a Hamburg-American liner,
which was purchased recently by Ed,
ward n. Breitung Of Michigan and
granted American registry, is admit
teddy causing anxiety in responsible
circles in London.
Press dispatches from America say
test case Is expected in regard to
this ship. which was bought by an
American citizen after the outbreak
of the war ana which is to be manned
by an American crew and probably
loaded with cotton destined for
Bremen.
The dispatches add that the prob
able seizure Of the vessel will raise
very important questions. There is
every desire here to minimize the
number Of contentious subjects be
tween England and the United States,
but ii seem as if it will be very diff
cult to avoid a conflict on this ques-
ton.
Originally Hamburg American
liner, the Dacia has been kent in
neutral harbor since the outbreak of
the war to avoid capture. The pro-
posal is to transfer her to the United
States flag and send her to Bremen
with cotton. This seems like an in
tention to avoid in every way the in
ternational law In regard to the trans
fer of vessels in time of war.

BIG FIGHT FOR PERTHES
The Only Engagement of Importance
Along Whole Battle Line.

London, Jan. 12-OGiciai accounts
Of the fighting in the west from Der
lin and Paris show that comparative
calm prevails except at a few points.
Even in upper Alsace and in the Ar
COME, where there have been violent
encounters recently, activity has slack
ened. Near scissors and in the vicin-
ity Of Per,hes, however, spirited en-
gagements are in progress.
The German var Office admits tina;
the French have captured trenches
north of scissors toward the western
end of the battle line, but states that
further onslaughts were repulsed. The
French announcement says two more
lines of trenches, covering 500 yards
of the front, have been occupied.
There is similar disparity of state
ment concerning the progress Of the
lighting near Perthes, which has as
sumed Importance because the prize
at stake is control OF railroads of high
strategic value. The French communi-
cation states that 200 yards Of German
B
man authorities say that positions Won
! by their opponents were retaken.
Should either side gain possession
of Perthes the railroad now held by
the other lines of communication
would be cut and it would be niece =
sary to evacuate trenches for a con
siderable distance. The Germans re-
allied that danger when the French
captured Perthes and brought up large
forces in an attempt TO regain the lost
terrain.
The British idea that operations up
to the present are only preparatory
to big events fits in with bit of gossip
now heard here. 1t is TO the effect
that Lord Kitchener, when asked con-
corning the probable duration of the
war said:
81 don't know when it will end but
l do know when ii will begin and that
is in the month OF May"

NOT known by washington 10 MaHc
Coed Certain Important Contentious
Alleged In Its Preliminary Note.
Grey's Strong Statements Need
Much Support by Evidence.
Washington, Jan. 12.-Officials of
the state department are awaiting
with great interest the coming of the
detailed reply from England to Presi-
dent Wilson's note of protest concern
ing interference with American ship.
ping.
The preliminary reply sent by Sir
Edward Grey contains much that
needs considerable explaining from
Washington viewpoint. and state de-
partment officials are unanimous that
the full supplementary paper must
needs go far to cover over seeming
inaccuracie. in the first note.
The British note maintains that the
British authorities have adhered to
the Tui" srrgosted in the American
note and detained cargoes only where
there Is r'2' ground for suspecting
the presence OF contraband." To sup
port this contCntion in the face OF
one exactly to the contrary from
Washington il is believed The British
must adduce specific and complete
data about each particular case.
Officials regard it as inconceivable
that the British government would
make claims Of this sort in pre-
Hnlnary uate which it could not sup
port with evidence but until the ev-
dence is produced doubt will exist
here as 10 the full accuracy of the
British statement that there have been
no unwarranted detentions.
The British note likewise states that
the British have adhered to the rule
of not putting cargoes Of foodstuffs
into prize courts except in cases of
presumption that they are intended
for the armed forces of the enemy.
If Greet Britain has evidence against
American cargoes to support this
statement officials here would be much
interested in seeing it.
AnClIeF statement contained IN the
British note exciting interest here is
that declaring that there are four
consignments to Sweden at the pres
ent time of copper and aluminium
which though definitely consigned TO
Sweden are, according to positive evil
dence in the possession of his
majestys government, definitely des-
tined for Germany"
Sir Edward Grey must in his second
note produce evidence in support OF
this strong statement, ii IS believe,
here, if he hopes to have his argument
that attempts to get contraband into
Germany through neutral countries
warrant the steps Great Britain has
taken to prevent it.

from an American vessel by the
French cruiser Condo in neutral

that he was arrested on an American

Garrison Sides With Filipinos.

PROMPT passage of the bill to ex-
tend the scope of self-goyernment en-
io"sd by the FiiipinOs was urged by
Secretary Garrison of the war depart
ment as logically the next step in the
long recognized policy of the United
States toward the islanders. The sec
rotary explained that the present bill,
improperly styled an Independence
bill would provide merely for a
further test of the Filipino's capacity
for self-government.
Responding to questions, Mr.. Garri-
son said from a military standpoint
the Philippine islands were liability
not an asset IL the United States.
Senator Hitchcock asked Mr.. Garri-
son if he thought the provision of the
bill prohibiting polygamy was wise
one. Speaking as private citizen,
Mr.. Garrison replied he did not believe
in attempting to force such matters on
the non-Christians. Nowhere in
Christ's sayings, he asserted, was
there any word against plural mar
riages or about the marriage relation,
although tn. Israelites had practiced
polygamy during Christ's lifetime and
for centuries before.

The bill affects other than those

such marriages whether performed in

Washington, Jan. IL Before ad-

a vote on the Mondell resolution for a
constitutional amendment making
woman suffrage nationwide.
Supporters and opponents flocked
into Washington last night and this

bibition resolution came to test vote
and was defeated.
Majority Leader Underwood and

As was the case with the Hobson
prohibition resolution. they are willing
for the Democratic membership of the
house to go on record for or against
votes for women.
That the resolution is destined to
defeat by an almost two-thirds ma
jority is the opinion of anti-suffrage
members OF the house. Representa-
tive Frank w. McndelI of Wyoming,
who will lead the fight for his resolu-
ton, disputed this claim but does not
contend that he can win.
