German Victories
DUNKIRK AGAIN BOMBARDED
American Note to British Govern
ment Received Favor
ably in Italy

Emperor William. in a striking adj
dress to his soldiers and sailors on
the first days of the new year, refers
to the brilliant German victories since
the opening of hostilities and then
lays emphasis on the statement that
every attempt fthe enemies of the
fatherland to enter upon German ter
ritory in numerical strength has
| failed.
Behind the army and the fleet is
the German nation, His Majesty de-
clared, prepared for every sacrifice
, to protect the country from outrag-
eous invasion. In conclusion the EN-
peror calls upon his people to face
the new year unflinchingly and to win
new victories for the fatherland.
AS the year 1915 opens, after five
months of hostility in the great war,
the fighting, both in the eastern and
1.-THE western arenas is going on with
out decisive results for either side.
There has been no material let-up
with the advent of severe winter
weather in the determination and Sc
verify of the encounter. In Poland
| there are to-day hostilities between
| Germans and Russians between the
! Nistula and Pilica rivers, and along
the battle line in France, from the
sea to Switzerland there are almost
continuous exchanges of artillery fire
or infantry charges against trenches
followed by desperate counter attacks
Neither is aerial activity being neg
/ lected. Only yesterday four German
aeroplancs dropped bombs on the
French channel port of Dunkirll.
| There are in Germany to-day after APP
proXimtaely l so days of hostilitles no
fewer than 5S6, 900 military prisoners
| of war. These include over S,100
officers among whom are found 2S
generals. Russian prisoners are the
most numerous, with nearly 10000
officers and men.
