HAS AUTOS FOR RUSSIA
Steamer to Sail for Archangel

Loaded TO her capacity with Amer
lean made automobiles, the Russian
steamer Ekaterenoslau was preparing
last night, az her pier in West Hobo
ken. 20 sail to-day for Archangel. The
usual calling port Of the Russian boat

AIDED the lower portion Of the Baltic
Sea Russian ships have no access to
the large Russian Baltic ports.
IL could not be learned whether the
cargo was destined for English or Rus

Great Britain declared automobiles TO
be contraband and seized several ship
ments of cars intended for Italy. Since
then there have been no exports OF
cars. except TO England.
Officers on the ship admitted that the
trip would be made along the extreme
northern course, TO avoid meeting Ger

five weeks 10 complete the voyage. The
steamer will carry no passengers.

ALLIES GAIN MORE
THAN MAP SHOWS
Moral Aspects of War In
dictate Gradual Move
ment Toward Victory.
By NINE. JEAN ALCmE PICARD.

Paris, Jan. r. Looking at the map
the ordinary observer may think with a
feeling Of encouragement that the stu
alton is exactly the same as it was two
months ago. To be sure, the opposite
armies have hardly moved, although
everywhere a slight giving way OF the
German forces can be noticed.
Yet despite the slow progress the
Allies feel the time has not been lost
and every move is step toward VIC
tory. This for many reasons. FIRST.
along the whole line Of battle we passed
from the defensive TO the offensive,
which is a great point. Then, too, VIC
tory is not the result Of a more or less
important area of ground regained from
the enemy or a large number or prls-
oners made or Of thousands Of enemies
killed. but it lies also in the approba-
ton and adoption by other nations or
the cause for which we hght-the
spreading Of our national ideals, the
participation Of the whole world IN the
hated evil against which we are strug-
Cling.
The sympathy Of other countries -
at the least a moral support invaluable
in this war, and in some cases will be-
come actual material help. Such IS the
case of Rumania, ready to take the field
very shortly, and we are assured Italy
will follow suit almost Immediately.
Bv degrees. but surely, Germany Is
losing her friends in Sweden and Hol-
land. That renders the importations
from or through these countries every
dav more scarce and difficult. In
Switzerland. where in the beginning OF
the war Germany counted on many
svmpathiZers, public opinion Is dis
tinctlv turning i'm favor of France. The
"Basler Nachrichten," so strongly Ger
manophile in past months. last week
denied theoretically the assertion made
By German statesmen and newspapers
that Switzerland. following only ner
own inclination, would rather favor the
sending back 10 their country OF the
Germans who passed the border.
A Swiss soldier stationed with a
regiment on the extreme Alsatlan IRON
tier relates in a letter | have just re-
ceived how they follow with interest
the fighting around Cernay. Ihey
were watching duel of artillery one
day. when suddenly particularly brill
liant results were obtained by the nre
Of the French ISIS. A cheer OF "Flye
la France!" went up from the ranks
so spontaneously and enthusiastically
that the officers were unable to sup
press IT.
In the same proportion as we ap-
preciate a manifestation Of sympathy
from other nations the Germans feel
bitterly the need of it. We are able
TO observe it in their efforts to regain
the friendship withdrawn from every
side because of their attempts to cloak
their deeds of vandalism, their greed
and ambition of ruling the world with
the mantle Of justice and self-defence'

GERMANS DENY
ATROCITY STORIES

Amsterdam Ovia London. Jan. l2.-
An officially inspired telegram from
Berlin repudiates all the accusations
against German troops made in the
report Of a French committee which
investigated certain alleged atrocities.
This report was given out to the pub
lie on January : by the French Cabi-
net. The dispatch from Berlin says:
"This French statement is an un-
broken series Of ISLANDERS. with 70
other intention than to create hatred
against the German people"
Continuing. it complains that the
French report is lacking in detail. and
it says that German military com
manders always have maintained disci-
pline among their troops and OBJ
served all the rules of warfare. Spe-
cifc charges. il adds, will be investi-
gated and the results made public.

SERVIA TO DEMAND
LARGE TERRITORY
Wants Bosnia, HerzegO-
vina and Dalmatia if
Allies Are Victorious.

Rome Jan. 12.-Contrary to state
ments that have appeared in the news
papers Of London, Paris and Berlin
that an understanding has practically
been reached about a Seryian outlet
to the Adriatic Sea, il is stated in
Servian official quarters here that this
will not now satisfy Seryia.
1t is declared that such a conces-
sion would have been satisfactory two
years ago, when the subject was dis
cussed at the London conference, but
that now, after war in which her life
and independence were risked, Servia
could not accept a port or strip Of
coast. What she now claims, IT Is
stated, are the Servian regions pos
sessed by Austria, including Bosnia,
Herzegovina and Dalmatia, which must
be assigned to her through the prin-
ciple of nationality.
The "Popolo Romano" usually well
informed about Austrian plans, states
that the forthcoming Austro-German
attack on Servia wiz not be In the
nature Of a punitive expedition, but
will aim ~ joining hands with Turkey
across Servia, with the cooperation OF
Bulgaria.
Athens (via London, Jan. 12.-The
Albanian insurgents, according TO in

recently occupied by Italian forces and
where Essad Pacha and his troops

ment, are stationed.

BRYAN SAYS WOOL
EMBARGO IS LEGAL
No Treaty Rights Contravened.

Mayor of Boston.

Boston, Jan. 12.-Secretary OF STATE
Bryan, in a telegram received TO-DAY
by ex-Mayor John F. Fitzgerald
chairman Of the foreign trade commit
tee of the Chamber Of Commerce. ex.
presses the opinion that the British
embargo on wool shipments from Aus.
tralia does not contravene treaty
rights. The Secretary's telegram was
in answer TO a message from Mr
Fitzgerald sent Saturday requesting
the State Department 20 make an q.
fort for the removal Of the embargo.
'In view of the probable ARRANGE.
ments with the British government tor
licenses 20 export wool from British
territory 20 this country under sug.
gested guarantees" Nh Bryan wired
"the department should not advance
the claim that the embargo contra.
yenes a treaty with Great Britain IN

Moreover, the department suggests
for your careful consideration the
general doctrine that agreements Of
the kind involved in our treaty with
Great Britain would not prevent Great
Britain from entering into trade
agreements with other countries. tx.
tending to them more favorable trade
advantages, when those agreements
are based on considerations, or upon
conditions, and that in the last case
we could only claim the same adj
vantages upon the same conditions.
Careful consideration should be
given to the questions whether Great

German consular agents YESTERDAY

Nearly $500 men were affected by

permission. These men will be given
their board and lodging free. but they
