Teutons and Russians are embattled In
one Of the most fatefuI battles of the war
on the forty-mile front south of the
Focsami-Braila line, which forms the last
fortified barrier to the Teuton advance

With the embittered stubbornness of

forced by fragments of the shattered
Runanian army, are selling every inch
Of ground at the price Of blood-and in
many parts have succeeded in stemming
the Teuton tide.
In the vital sectors. however. the in
vading wave sweeps on irresistably, reap

a means OF refIling the depleted Golfers
Of the Federal Treasury is now under
consideration by Secretary McAdoo and
Treasury Department officials seeking
new sources OF revenue. The proposal
cles of food in cold storage warehouses
throughout the country. and was hailed
by administration leaders in and out
OF Congress as a new means of taxation
which would raise revenue without
arousing popular disapproval.
The suggestion will be informally laid
before Congress soon after the holiday
season. The outlook for a 100 de-
felt during the next fiscal year has
aroused considerable anxiety among ad-
ministration leaders
So the Treasury experts have turned to
the cost of living itself as a source OF
revenue. Various government investiga-
tions Of high food prices have developed
charges that the "cornering' of food
products in cold storage has had much
to do with raising prices.
Revenue experts believe that such a
tax as is proposed would prove remedial
and at the same time help out the Treas
ury.
They propose 20 place a graduated tax,
based on the length OF time products
haev been stored, on all food products,
meats, butter, eggs. vegeta bles. poultry
and similar products. The tax would not
be charged until the product had been a
certain specific time in storage. and would
increase with the length OF storage and
with the quantity Of the product stored.

rub" who claims the discredit of having
taught Raymond Beck. the Angel Faced
Boy" to be a thief, will be taken on
another ride today to show Brooklyn
detectives more Of the homes he says he
robbed. Charlie. whose name Is Charles
ortner, is IS. but boasts he has COM
mitted 200 or more burglaries in two
years, obtaining a total of $4,000 in loot
often he wore evening clothes to rob.
The amazing skill of Ortner was shown
to detectives when he opened a Yale
lock with his fnger-nails Capt Carey
said Ortner performed this trick in view
of a half dozen detectives, while not
permitting his audience to see how II
was done. The lock was supplied by
the police.
When Ortner told of being the instruc-
tor of Raymond Beck, the Angel Faced
Boy" who was sentenced to serve ten
years in Sing Sing in December 1915, il
was pointed out that Beck is a year
older than he and might have been the
instructor. Ortner sneeringly retorted:
Nothing doing. I taught him all he
knows. I worked with him on that last
job, but they got him, not me, that

GRAND JURY TO PROBE
latest rise in COAL
Special Federal Prosecutor Will Pre-
sent Evidence in New York.
-ial to The Washington H.raJd

SPECIAL To Inc washington Herald.
New York, Dec S.-This weeks un-
warranted rise in the price of coal, as
well as the big boost last month, will
be investigated by the United States
grand jury early next week. Special
Prosecutor Frank N. Swacker, in charge
of the Federal inquiry into criminal con-
spiracies to increase the prices of fuel
and food. said today that there is
nothing in the coal situation to excuse
the latest increase from s7.75 to IS 25 and
$50 ton to New York consumers.
I'VE have information from the big
coal mining companies" he said that
the supply Is normal for this time of
year. and the wholesale price, Of course,
remains unchanged.
1T is not unusual to have a slight
shortage in production Of coal In the
holiday season. 1t happens every year.
In other years, the retail price has not
been raised in New York There is nc
real reason for raising it now."
We also have information, which is
not yet reduced to concrete proof, that
big coal spectators receive large sup
plies of coal from mine owners in pre-
ference to coal retailers with whom they
even had contracts, thereby creating an
artificial market price.
I'VE have also discovered that the
shortage of coal in early November was
merely nominal. and the excuse, for rails
ing the price to S12 ton in New York
shortage Of labor and strikes at the
mfnes-was not true"

GERMANY TO WORK FOR
FUTURE WORLD PEACE

Berlin Cvia SayviIle), Dec. 2S.-Germany
in her reply to the Swiss note takes
particular pains to emphasize that as
far as the safeguarding of the world 8
peace In the future, the imperial govern
ment fully agrees with the view ex-
pressed by President Wilson in his re-
cent note to the belligerents.
In accordance with the President of
the United States" says the German re-
ply to Switzerland, the imperial gov
ernment is of the opinion that the great
work of the prevention of future wars
only can be begun after the termination
OF the present struggle
In emphasizing this point, the German
government manifestly refers to this
passage in President Wilson's note:
In the measures to be taken to Sc
cure the future peace of the world the
people and government Of the United
States are as vitality and as directly in
terested as the governments now at war.
But the wsF>must first be con-
cluded'
In its note to Switzerland, Germany
reiterates that "as soon as this moment

MYSTERIOUS Note IN
Hotel fire TRAGEDY
Police Search for Troubles" of Nude
Woman Victim.
Special to The Washington Herald.

Dover, N. J., Dec 2S-Miss Lillian c.
Green, noted markswoman, whose death
the authorities are investigating, did not
receive the fatal burns at the Lake Dem
mark Hotel, where she was found. This
was the theory generally accepted today
after DR.. W. g. Costello, Of Dover, who
treated the woman, had been questioned
Or. Costello did not arrive until three
hours after he was summoned. BY that
time Miss Green had lapsed into uncon-
sciousness.
The physician asserted that Miss
Green's body was frostbitten. It is
claimed that this is conclusive proof that
the woman was burned some distance
from the hotel, and was carried there
to die.
Another obstacle was introduced when
Thomas W. Morley, owner and manager,
made public a letter he had found In
the dead woman's room. The letter was
from a woman living in BROOKLYN. and
an excerpt from It read:
IT sincerely hope the coming year will
be the best year you have ever had. and
that you will leave all your troubles be-
hind you
The authorities probably will endeayor
to get IN touch with the writer OF the
letter to ascertain what TROUBLES " II

ARREDONDO WILL
REMAIN AT POST
Ambassador Designate Denies
Reports of His Recall by
First Chief.

Carranza's answer TO the request OF
the United States for his signature to
the protocol arranged by the Joint In.
ternational Commission is In the hands
of Secretary of the Interior Franklin X.
Lane. chairman of the American section
Of the commission. Its contents were
not made public last night.
The Spanish text has been translated
and the reply Of the first chief is unsat-
isfactory in that 1t is inconclusive. Com
ment on the reply as known to Secretary
Lane was withheld on the ground that
he desired to study its contents closely
and not risk discussing its terms upor
unmatured judgment.
There will be another session Of the
Joint Commisson.s The date has not been
set for this final gathering
The Carranza answer was delivered to
Secretary Lane today by Senior Luis
Cabrera, secretary of finance of Mexico,
and chairman of the Mexican section OF
the Joint Commission.
The only other persons in Washington
who were given glimpse of the docu-
ment were Eliseo Arredondo and his
publicity adviser. These two gentlemen
held an extended conference in the en-
bassy this morning. For more than two
hours they were closeted. Then the am
bassador designate uttered his denial
that he had been recalled or would be
withdrawn from his present official posi-
ton.
In diplomatic circles 1t was stated that
the rejection OF the protocol is based
upon three objections.
First, the admission by implication
that United States troops have a right
to cross the border at any time in pur-
suit OF marauding bandits while this
right is withheld from soldiers of the
de facto government
Second, failure to adhere to the
Mexican proposal under which the in
ternational differences were to have
been adjusted; and.
Third. the unsatisfactory arrange
ments for the withdrawal of the Per-
shing force.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Tne police OF Brook
lyn are frankly puzzled by the stories
which, they say, two boys have told OF
repeated hold-ups, attacks, robberies, and,
in one case. the staying OF a man who
resisted them when they attempted tc
rob him in the street
One, John Harold Cantwel, jr.. 3 years
old. says his father is chief clerk of the
Municipal Court, Brooklyn, and a Demo
cratic politician of Importance in his dis
trict. The other describes himself as
Frank Kelly. and the son Of an empIoye
of the highways department
According to their stories, the boys de-
sired pleasures that kept them up late al
night, such as drinks. expensive dinners
and taxicab rides.
1t was this. they say, that caused them
to supply themselves with revolvers and
blackjacks with which, Mr.. Conway says
they told him, they held up many per
sons, obtaining loot enough to enable
them to dress and live life of pleasure
without having to work.
Nearly twenty hold-ups were committed

GERMANY EAGER
TO MAKE PEACE
Further Concessions May Be
Offered, Washington
Believes.
TERMS PROBABLY KNOWN
White House Credited with Understand
ing of Conditions Teutons
Have Advanced.

Continued agitation by Germany for
peace in the face of the apparently i'm
movable opposition Of the entente powers.
was last night accepted in Washington as
the most encouraging development in the
peace situation.
Count Won Bernstorr. the German Am
bassador. reiterated his declaration that
Germany Is earnest In her desire to end
the war
Diplomatic Washington accepted this
statement as indicating that the central
powers may be willing to go further in
stating their definite peace aims.
Terms Now Available.
The German Embassy made it clear
that statement of the terms proposed
by the central allies-in more or less
definite form-is now available to the
United States. under seal Of secrecy.
Secretary Lansing declared that all
questions as to this "confidentiaP' matter
were clearly improper and declined to
discuss II. 1t was clear, however, that
Germany has submitted to this country
her Informal plan for allowing the United
stltes to handle her peace terms until a
similar declaration can be secured from
tn" entente allies.
Advices to Washington from American
diplomats abroad, and through belliger-
Cnt representatives here, were to the ef-
feet that while the entente powers are
still jointly preparing a reply to the Ger
man peace advances, they will steadfast-
ly maintain their refusal to discuss peace
until Germany has made her terms clear.
The formal copies OF the German and
Austrian replies to the Presidents peace
note were received at the State Depart
ment today without comment. Both were
laid before the President who likewise
refused to discuss them. The official text
OF the notes differed but little, and only
in insignificant details from the published
versions.
No Action at Present.
The State Department and the White
House took the altitude last night that
there was nothing for the United States
to do toward peace until the formal
reply Of the entente powers to the Presi-
dents note has been received.
Neutral diplomats, however, declared
tina. the general policy of neutral in
dorsement of the. Presidents proposals
would be continued AID that specific in
dorsements might be officially received
from the Scandinavian nations, Holland.
and the South American countries at
any time
Senior Calderon. the Bolivian Minister
and dean Of the Latin American diplo-
matte corps. said that joint action by
the South American nations was
to be expected promptly. A change
of ministry in Bolivia has delayed ac-
tion slightly. and Minister Calderon yes
terday cabled the new Premier, Senior
Sanches, for instructions Central Amer
iCan countries are expected to follow
closely the action of the South Ameri-
can nations.
The German Embassy was emphatic in
its declaration that the peace advances
Of the central powers were bona fide,
and in denying published reports that
the peace proposals were designed to
forestaIl a serious break with the United
warfare.
