REDFlELD OPTIMISTIC
Secretary Of Commerce Says Era Of
Prosperity Is Ahead For The
American People

New York.-A greater era of pros
perity is in view for the United
States, Secretary of Commerce Red
field said in addressing the fourth
annual dinner of the Queensborough
chamber of commerce.
Secretary Redfield discussed Ameri-
can trade relations and Industrial con-
ditions esulting from the war in Eu-
rope and cited the advance in freight
rates granted to the railroads and the
opening of the Panama canal as fac
tors leading toward an improved bust
ness status. Discussing foreign COM
merce, he said:
"Our floating debt to Europe, which
it once was felt might have to be
paid fully in gold, has instead been
paid in goods and more than protect
ed, so there seems to have begun an
inward flow Of gold responding to the
reduction in the price of exchange"
W. Morgan Shuster said that in fur
nishing supplies to the nations at war
the United States was handicapped by
an Inadequate merchant marine
ANY other nation" he said, "that
possessed our wealth and opportuni-
ties, given the present conditions in
world politics, would long ago have OBJ
tanned full control of the worlds

Moslem Troops Reported To Have

German Attacks In Poland

London.-Battles, large and small,
all having an important bearing on
the situation, are raging at widely
separated points in Europe and Asia.
The Turks have occupied the Per-
sian town of Tabriz, which is Rus
sian sphere of influence; are battling
with the Russians in the Caucasus
and are reported to be making prep
arations to invade Egypt.
The Russians have resumed the Of
fensive in East Prussia, while the Ger
mans continue to attack them in Po-
land, and they again are trying to
cross the Nida river in Southern Po-
land, held by the Austrians.
The battle creating the greatest in
terest is that in the Aisne valley,
northeast of scissors, where the
French have been attacking the Ger
man entertainments for a week. They
took important positions, but the Ger
mans, bringing up re1nforcements, re-
covered some of the lost ground.

NO NAVAL RENDEZVOUS
Secretary Daniels Announces Annual
International Marine Gathering
At Hampton Roads Off

Washington.-The proposed inter-
national naval rendezvous at Hampton
Roads has been abandoned, according
to plans announced by Secretary Dan
iels, for the cruise of the Atlantic
fleet and visiting foreign war craft to
San Francisco in celebration of the
Panama canal opening. Instead, the
program provides that the ships shall
proceed directly to Cristcbal, at the
eastern entrance to the canal, to be
passed through at stated intervals.
Consent of congress must be OBJ
tanned for the change, as the law au-
thorizing the cruise sets forth that the
United States should invite the mari
time nations of the world to send
vessels to Hampton Roads for the
event. Secretary Daniels said, how
ever, he had no doubt the necessary
legislation would be enacted at once.
He pointed out that the war had
made impossible a rendezvous Of the
international character contemplated
by congress, and that the isthmus
would be a more convenient gathering
place for the American fleet and the
few visiting vessels that would par
ticipate. Only Spain, Portugal, Argen-
tina and Cuba, SO far have Indicated
their intention of sending ships.

Wilson Is Proud Grandfather.

Washington. - President Wilson's
talks with callers centered mainly
about the new White House arrival,
his first grandchild, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Francis B. Sayre. Thousands Of
congratulatory messages and many
presents arrived.
The grave look Mr.. Wilson has worn
since his wife's death was supplanted
by broad smile.
Maj. Ebert M. Bacon of Houston,
Tex, who was baptized by the late
Mrs Wilson's grandfather, was one
of the first to congratulate the presi-
dent.
A large heap of rattles was sent
the baby by members Of the Wilson
and Sayre families and close friends.
Several baby baskets had also been
sent to the White House, but the
one used was prepared by Mrs. Sayre
herself
A toy Princeton tiger for the Sayre
baby was given to President Wilson
by a committee from the Princeton
Alumni Association.

MAIN RUSSIAN ARMY

GLARS TROOPS APPEAR TO BE
MENAClNG THE ARMY IN
EAST PRUSSIA.
BAYONET FIGHTING IN WEST
Germans and Allies at Standstlll,
However Both Claim Minor Sue
cesses Near La BoisseIIe.

London.-Characte fighting is
going on in northern France, where
the village of La Boisselle, 20 miles
northeast of Amiens, was taken from
the French by the Germans and later
-e-captured by the French.
At this point there has been much
work with the bayonet. A French
ammunition depot blew up and part
of the village was destroyed by fire.
The Germans, taking advantage Of
this incident, attacked the French
with the steel and drove them to posi-
lions beyond. In a fierce counter-at-
tack some hours later the French re-
captured the position.
A French eyewitness with official
authority gives some idea of the ma
ture of fighting that has been going
on in the West. He describes the
fighting near scissors 10 days ago
as resulting favorably for the Allies
but later the waters of the Aisne,
swollen by the heavy storms, came
over the banks, washed away bridges
and prevented the Allies from send
ing reinforcements to points where
the French troops were being hard
pressed by the Germans. This result
ed in a retirement of som ething like
a mile and the establishment of a
strong front in a good strategic posi-
tion on the right bank of the river.
The long7awaited decisive action in
Russian Poland has not developed,
probably because of the unfavorable
weather conditions which have pre-
vailed for some weeks, but the Rus
sian statements tell of small engage
ments at certain points along the
trenches which indicate preparedness
on both sides to take advantage of any
Cd ening that offers.
In Galicia the Austrians have sue
ceeded east of Zakliczyn in forcing
the Russians to evacuate their trench
es for several miles.
No further word has been received
regarding Russian operations in Kir-
hbaba Pass, through which they ex-
pected to carry their aggressive
campaign into Hungary.

SAID SULLIVAN WAS TOOL
Minister To Dominican Republic Pic

That Island

New York-James M. Sullivan, the
American minister to the Dominican
republic, was pictured at the inquiry
here into his fitness to hold the post,
as having been associated with inter-
ests that for money considerations
would guarantee to obtain profitable
contracts from the Dominican govern
ment.
E. Bright Wilson, attorney for G. D.
Smith, Memphis, Tenn, contractor,
testified that his client told him ne
had been approached with an offer Of
such a guarantee and had been told
that Sullivan could enable him to get
road contracts in Santo Domingo that
would net 80 per cent. The man who
approached his client, he said, was will
liam G. Beers, an attorney, said to be
associated with the Samuel M. JAR
Wis interests, who controlled the Banco
Nacional at Santo Domingo. That is
the institution, which it previously had
been testified, obtained the deposits of
Dominican customs funds through Sui
livan's influence.

Washington.-The house of repre-

Hundreds of women who had sat in

nouncement Of the result with varied
expressions Of approval or disapprov-
al. Detection mingled with enthusi-
asm as the purple and yellow sashes
of the suffragists and the red rose-be-
decked anti-suffragists filed out into

long strain of oratory.
Suffragist leaders undismayed by
the result of the vote, declared that
the fight was by no means over.

Berlin.-Vienna reports state that 1t

Austrian submarine No. IL. The
Courbet was rammed by her sister
ship, the Jean Bart, which was at

The Courbet sank. The Jean Bart

French the ground near scissors
which soldiers of General Joffre, COM
mander-in-ch of the French forces,
spent a fortnight in capturing, re-
mains the outstanding feature, al
though it has been somewhat offset
by the reported British success near
La Bassee and the capture by Zou-
ayes of German trenches in the re-
gion of Arras. There have been at
tacks and counter attacks at other
points, but generally it has been the
artillery which has been kept busy.
The Russians continue to harry the
Turks, who made a stand on the Dor
ders of Trans-Caucasia after their re-
cent defeat, and claim to be capturing
many more prisoners. The Russians
also are making new dispositions in
the province of Azerbaijan, Persia,
which the Turks have promised to
evacuate as soon as the Russians leave
the province and the Persian heir pre-
sumptive reaches Tabriz. The COVER
norship of the province Of Azerbaijan
is an appanage of the heir presump-
tive.
Heavy fighting continues near Sois-
sons, where the Germans have won
important advantages. Near Perthes,
in the Argonne and upper Alsace and
elsewhere along the western front,
activity has subsidized.
