London, Jan. 5-While the battle
on the borders of Bessarabia is still
apparently far from a decision, each
day finds the Russians claiming the
occupation of additional enemy posi-
tions. Press dispatches continue to
claim the Austrians have evacuated
Czernowitz in Bukowina, but there is
no official confirmation. The Russians
are directing their whole energy
towards making a gap between the
German armies in the north and the
Austrians farther south. The Aus
TRANS still claim the repulse of Rus
sian attacks.
Other fronts are comparatively
quiet, but bombardments have been
reported on the Italian front.

Startling Admission Made
by Head of Bureau of
Yards and Docks.
TESTIFIED BEFORE
NAVAL COMMITTEE
Situation at New York is
Referred to as Being
Rather Serious.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Only one
thoroughly reliable, deep water naval
station exists in the United States,
according to Rear Admiral H. T.
Stanford, head of the bureau of yards
and docks, who testified before the
house naval committee today. The
station he referred to is the Puget
Sound navy yard. The situation at
the New York yard was pronounced
by the admiral to be rather serious
and while annual dredgings were not
needed at the Norfolk yard, he said
that the river and channel in front
of this yard should be widened.
Difficulties were encountered by
vessels at times in entering the Phila-
delphia and Charleston yards, said
Admiral Stanford.
u regard the situation at the New
York yard as rather serious" he
added. "The basin there was dredged
to depth Of thirty feet at mean low
tide. Extreme low tide makes the
basin only 267s feet. The big bat
tleships require thirty feet. Each year
sedimentation to the depth of a foot
takes place in the basin and annual
dredging is required"
Vessels at times, he explained, were
held up two hours outside tho San
Francisco yard by the fog and the
Trade Winds for six months Of the
year disturbed channel conditions.
Representative Galloway of Texas,
asked for the detailed expenditure at
each yard of every item under which
the admiral had grouped the expendi-
ture without reference to Individual
yards.
"There has been severe criticism of
the navy department by the people
that the navy appropriations have not
produced the results they should
have" declared Representative Gallo

yard and the people want them.

detail"
Rear Admiral Stanford agreed TO
furnish the details tomorrow.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The bonds of
restraint against public discussion of
the international relations of the
United States incident to the Euro
pean war were broken in the senate
to-day, and for more than an hour the
session was enlivened by a debate
over the governments neutrality
policy, the exports of war munitions
and travel by American citizens on
belligerent owned ships.
There was no division OF the de-
bators along party lines. Senator
Jones, of Washington, Republican,
denounced as unpatriotic Americans
who imperilled the nation by taking
passage ON beIligerent vessels.
Works, Of California, Republican,
asserted the United States was
'hypocritically" claiming to be neu-
trail when 1t was In fact participating
IN the war through selling munitions.
Lodge, ranking Republican member
of the foreign relations committee, de-
ciared that to place an embargo on
arms now would be worth more to
Germany than million men, that it
would be q grossly unneutral act"
and would in fact make the United
States an ally of Germany.
4 O'Gorman, of New York, and Hitch
cock, of Nebraska, both Democrats,
urged the advisabi1ity of an embargo
on munitions. Works declared that
40 the government knew the Lusi-
tania carried munitions and yet did
not warn Americans not to travel on
her, the government therefore was
therefore fsnorally responsible for
Che Americans death.
The debate finally ended when
Stone, chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee, pointed out It was
not I'm order. He said he had not
called attention to this before as he
thought it very well TO get an index
to the senate.

Washington, Jan. 5.--Oficial de-
tails upon which President Wilson
and Secretary Lansing will decide the
course of the United States in the
crisis caused by the sinking of the
steamer Persia are still lacking to-
night and it was reiterated that moth
ing will be done until the full facts
are established as to whether a sub
marine really sank the Persia and
what was the nationality of the sub
marine. Members of the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations will begin
consideration of the situation Friday.
Press dispatches today said the
Reverend Homer r Salisbury, an
American missionary en- route to In
dia, was aboard the Persia and was
lost is true This will bring the total
of Americans aboard up to three.
American Consul McNeeley has al
ready been reported lost and Robert
Grant, of Boston, as saved. Another
London dispatch tonight said fifth
boat from the Persia has landed at
Malta, but did not give the names of
the occupants who, it is said, believed
a sixth boat succeeded in getting
away from the steamer.
President Wilson conferred with
Secretary Lansing s an hour today
over the new su ne crisis. No
additional facts beyond the definite
knowledge that only two Americans
were aboard the Persia had been re-
ceived by the state department over
night. Such information as had al
ready been received, however, was
carefully reviewed.
There still was every indication no
action would be taken pending the
receipt of fuller advices. Whether
the status of the Persia was changed
from an unarmed liner to that of a
vessel which might technically be
classified as armed by the fact that
she mounted one gun, is point which
United States navy experts would be
called upon to help determine. Meagre
have failed TO indicate
the gun was mounted for
defense or offense.
Senator Stone, chairman of the
foreign relations committee, con-
ferred late today with administration
leaders with view to determining
when the committee should be called
to consider the absorbing information
al problems now confronting the coun-
try. The senator said he would like
to have the committee meet tomor-
row, but that he would not call a
meeting until assured that members
could be present.

Mr.. Asquith opened his address
with an analysis of the figures in the

fact that during the Derby campaign,
nearly 100000 men had offered their
services. Even deducting those re-

ability, the total was still in excess
of $780, 900. ''These are wonderful,

after making the largest possible
hypothetical deduction to consider the
