junction Of the Pilica and the vistula.
In the angle formed by these two riv-

Guilty. Numerous little streams run
through this region.
1t is possibly the purpose of the
Germans, turned for the time being
from their attack upon Warsaw, to
cut that city Of completely from Ivan
gorod. They can sever water com.
munication by reaching the Vistula
and planting their artillery on its
western bank, but they cannot cut rail
communication before crossing the
Vistula, a feat they were unable to ac-
compllsh in their first campaign
against lvangotod.
The conflict In the Mlawa region OF
northern Polanl q continues without de.
cisive result. The military experts as
sert, however, that a Russian retire.
ment there would result in no danger
to Warsaw, as the troops held at Novo
Georgievak would be able to prevent
the investment of the capital. The
latest official sta dtement says:
"On the left bank OF the Vistula riv,

more stubborn. In spite of their great

Washington, Jan. 11.-Gossip is gen.
eral among the presidents friends
over the meaning back of his state
ment in his speech at Indianapolis
that there may come time when
the American people will have to judge
whether | know what | am talking

Some Of his friends insist that the
president was merely referring to the
fact that future generations will Judge
his actions and that he did not intend
to convey the impression which was
gained by the crowd, that ne & :ght be
candidate again for the presidency.
Let's Crowds Impression Stand.
Others of his friends point out that
he evidently realized, because of the
cheering, the construction that had
been placed on his words, and yet he
did not correct the impression beyond
saying: 'I didn't intend to start any
thing then"
The president returned to Washing
ton fully prepared to push his govern
ment ship purchase bill. He served
notice in his speech that he will do
everything possible to overcome oppo'
sition to the bill.
Mr.. Wilson will try to send to the
senate the nominations of the trade
commission members soon after his
return.

In his speech the president attacked
the Republican party, defended thf
record of his administration on tn
Mexican policy, and the tariff and Gu
