NEW YEARS GREETINGS OF
 THE GERMANS scoRNEo BY
 CANADIANS IN RESENTMENT

OTTAWA. Ont. Jan. 9.-Maj. Gen. Sir Sam Hughes, minister of militia, has received an offic.a' conmunlca- ton rom the Canadian official repre- sentative in France. It follows in part:
 "At midn ght on New Years eve the enemy endeavored to make a truce at various points on our front. In one instance, after daylight on January l, the enemy mounted the parapets and shouted. New Years greeting.
 "In all cases the enemy was an. swered by much gun and rapid fire action. This ended the overtures Of friendliness.
 Enemy artillery has been normal during the week. Whenever the ene- my displayed tendency to lombard certain sections of our Ines, the wig orous retaliation quickly reduced the guns to silence. On no occasion has the enemy artillery evinced any de- sirc to have the last word.
 Enemy Aeroplanes Driven of
 "A considerable number of trench mortar bombs have been fired at var lous points in the lines or our second division. Two of these failed to ex- plode and were recovered for exam nation purposes.
 Several enemy aeroplanes have been seen over our lines. At times .hey have been engaged in directing he fire of their guns but have dis appeared on the approach of our own planes
 "our patrols have maintained their activity. No enemy patrols have as yet been encountered. A'spec'al re ,onnaisance of the enemy's lines was undertaken by Lieut.. Kent and Sergt Milne ot our Tenth Western Batal 'on. Leaving our trenches before day break. they reached a point between he lines from which good observa lions of the enemy trenches could be btained. They remained there ip ,oncealment throughout the day. se turing valuable information regard ing the enemy's disposition and activi- les and returned safely at dusk.

made qualified disclaimer of respon- sibility for the sinking of the Hesper- ian, declaring it was satisfied that the liner was not sunk by 0 German submarine. The suggestion was made that the ship had struck a floating mine. At variance with this theory. however. were the statements from the captain of the ship and surviving passengerD.
 The Italian steamer Ancona was torpedoed on Nov. 9 by an Austrian submarine off the coast of Tunis and POS of the 507 persons aboard were drowned. Eleven were Americans.
 On Nov. 15 the Italian government sent communication to the State Department of the United States set ting forth that the Austrian submar- inc shelled the Ancona as the passen. gers and crew were taking to the boats.
 cIto Warning Shot.
 On Nov. IT Austria reported to the Washington government that the sub marine had sent a warning shot over the bows of the Ancona, which fled at full speed. The torpedo then was fired and those board were given for ty-five minutes to leave the ship. It was denied that the submarine fired on the life boats. The submarine was compelled to submerge because of the approach of another boat, 1t was declared, and the Ancona was torpedoed.
 On Dec. Secretary Lansing sent a note to Austria demanding disavow- Il of the act, punishment of the com nander of the submarine, reparation Or the American lives lost and meas. ures to prevent recurrence of the act
 In reply to this protest on Dec. 16 Austria stated that the United States had failed to designate the persons whose word 1t had taken regarding the action of the Austrian submarine and sought to avoid break as well IS reparation.
 Austria sOwo to U. s.
 On Dec. IS President Wilson reit- ,rated the demands made in his frs; note. refused to enter into a discus. sion of the facts and details of the evidence of the United States had collected, and asserted the Ancona had been torpedoed after 1t had stop. ped and no provision was made for the passengers. On Dec. S1. Austr a expressed her willingness to comply with all the damnds of President VII son and asserted the submarine com mander had already been punished.
