THE WAR TODAY

Heavy guns of the opposing ar
mics are striving Tor dominance
in important sectors OF the Fran
cO-Belgian front. Berlin today re.
ports artillery battles, which it
characterizes as 'sfierce" between
La Bassee canal and Arras, and
south OF the river SOmme and like
wise a virOrous bOmbardment Of
Lens by allied artillery.
The first mentioned sector,
which includes Lens, was the
scene of the notable advance by
the British and French last Sep
TENDER. The region south of the
SOmme came into prominence not
long since with sudden thrust
by the TeutOns, who claimed TAX
ing $500 yards of trenches.
Intensive artillery fire in these
sectors may presage an attempt
by the allies to regain lost ground
or a general effort to make gen.
eral advances.
Paris, neither in its statement
of today, nor that of last night,
mentioned the artillery engage
ment which the German cOmmun-
icatiOn records. The Berlin bulle-
tin declares in addition that the
French were driven out of a
crater they Occupied after a mine
explosion Oh Hill 2S5 in the Ar
come.
While reports of the actual OPP
ehing of an offensive movement by
Teut0nic allies against SalOniki
appear to have been premature,
the cables continue to bring &C.
counts of troop movements TO in
dictate that such an offensive Is
probably not far distant. Athens
dispatches today tell of continued
concentration of German, Austrian
and Bulgarian forces on the Greek
frontier, together with the transfer
of heavy artillery southwark from
Nish.
With such a movement in the
Balkans In prospect, the reports
that come from Rumania command
increasing interest. Advices from
allied sources declare that the fric-
ton between Rumania and the cen.
trail powers has increased and that
Rumania, supposedly in view of
the reported threatening attitude
Of Germany and Austria, has col.
lected forces close to the Austro.
Hungarian frontier.

ARMY OF RELIEF
is STILL HOPEFUL
FOR POLAND AID

Chicago, Ill, Feb. I've are not
surprised at the statement of Sir Ed
ward Gray, Englands secretary Of
foreign affairs, that his country can
not permit shipment of food to Poland
under present conditions" said John
F. Smulski of Chicago in statement
today. Mr.. Smulski, who has repre-
sented American Polish organizations
in negotiations regarding relief for
Poland, expressed the belief, however,
that international conditions would
shape themselves as to make possible
the sending of foodstuffs to the people
of that war stricken country.
England asks what is right and
fair she should ask of us. Germany is
willing to make every necessary con-
cession consistent with charity and
humanity" continued Mr.. Smulski. In
the face OF existing military conditions
we have no right to view too critically
the attitude OF either side. We must
wait until we have exhausted our eff
forts and receive an Ultimate refusal
LAS | read Sir Edward Grey's letter
to Herbert C. Hoover, chairman OF the
American Commission for the relief
OF Belgium, made public yesterday,
England demands three things of Ger
many: Prohibition Of the export of
foodstuffs from Russian Poland; guar
shall not be drawn on to
maintain the occupying armies and as
surance that the relief committee will
be given a free hand in the distribu-
ton of food.
AS to the first demand, l believe
Germany will agree to prohibit furth-
er expectation of foodstuffs from Rus
sian Poland.
LAS to the second, l believe that
there are no native stocks of food,
and hence they could not be drawn on
by the occupying armies.
"As to the third demand, we will
give every assurance that the relief
committee will be given free hand
and that imported food for relief will
be distributed only among the suffer-
ing civilian population"

United States Not to Allow
Mere Choice of Words
to Stand in Way.
settlement CERTAIN
President and Lansing to
Wind Up Negotiations
Without Delay.

Washington. D. c., Feb. 7.-Secre-
.orv lansing today fatty denied that
rsw demands had been made in the
rusitania case at a time when the
German government considered the
negotiations practically were at an
erd He was speaking of the Berlin
disnatches quoting the references by
Dr zimmerman, German under-sec-
rptsry of foreign affairs, to new de-
msnds.'
This government" said Secretary
lansing, has not increased the de-
mands made in the Lusitania case as
set forth in the notes of May 10, June
and July q. l doubt if DR.. Zim-
mermann ever made the statement
that new demands had been injected,
because he must know that it is ut
terly false
No New Demands.
Secretary Lansing would not go in
to d-tails or discuss Dr.. thinner
manns statement further. When DR..
Zinmermann's statement was pub
lshed in this country, however, his
reference to new demands was taken
to apply TO a possible continuation on
the word illegal" in the proposed
form OF settlement. The only ground
American officials could find for con-
strung that as embodying new de-
mand, was the possibility that it might
be considered applicable not alone to
the destruction of neutrals on the
Lusitania, but also as to the method by
which she was sunk.
Secretary L -nsing said he expected
to confer with President Wilson to-
day. He made it known, however, that
the state department considered the
situation unchanged.
Chairman Stone of the senate for
eign relations committee said after
talking with administration officials
that his impression was the Lusitanla
case was practically settled" He did
not go into details. Secretary Ian
sing, however, indicated that some an
nouncement might be given out within
the next few days.
There was no indication whether
the president had definitely decided
whether Germany'S latest proposal
was satisfactory or unsatisfactory,
-Words- Not to Block Way.
Administration officials let it be
known that a mere choice OF words
would not be permitted to stand in
the way of success Of the negotia-
tons, and that the United States will
not insist on the use of the word IL
lega or "disavowal" in Germany's
acknowledgment that sinking OF the
liner without warning and the loss OF
1l5 American lives was wrong.
lnasmuch as the proposal now be-
fore President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing is described in German head
quarters as substituting for the word
Illegal" d phrase which Germany
hopes will be acceptable to the United
States as covering the same point
without humiliating Germany, and
having regard for public opinion In
that country, this announcement was
taken as strengthening the optimistic
atmosphere which surrounds the nego-
tiations, and possibly leaving open the
way to continued negotiations. The
principal consideration of the United
acknowledgment by Germany that the
sinking Of an unresisting merchant
iaan without warning is in contraven-
uon Of International law and that such
novel warfare shall be permanently
