London, January S.-Under escort of officers assigned by the admiralty, cor respondent of the Associated Press and party of foreign journalists, recently
 were given the first opportunity to visit
 one of the great naval bases on the coast where cruisers, destroyers and subma-
 rines are assembled for their watch over
 the North sea- and from which point
 big. ocean going submarines are sent on forages to the Baltic and the Darda- nelles.
 It was an impressive sight of concen- trated power and elert readiness, with long lines of battle-scarred cruisers stretching seaward and headed by the famous Arethusa, back of them vast lotilla of destroyers, then a countless number of submarines of the latest D and E type which have recently per formed such brilliant work from the Dar- danelles to the Bosphorus and through out the Baltic.

NEW HAVEN JURY IS STH|.L|. l !. UNABLE E TO REACH AGREEMENT Has Had Case Since Friday at NOOn-RumOrs as to
 Stand of Jurors Are
 Conflicting

New York January S.-The jury in the case of the Il former directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad charged with criminal violation of the Sherman antitrust law, were still deliber- ating on verdict tonight. The case was submitted to them at 1:3o o'clock yester- day afternoon.
 Rumors in the courtroom were conflict ing. One was that majority of the ju- TOTS favored the acquittal of all the de fendants; another that they had agreed on the acquittal of some and could not agree on the others; still another that they favored the aequittal of some, the conviction of certain others, and could not agree upon the rest
 The time that had been taken in the de- alterations led some of the attorneys to conjecture that the jury had found against the defendants on the question whether conspiracy existed in 1S90 the date of the enactment of the sherman law

RUSSIANS RENEW
 ATTACK IN THE WEST
Stubbornness of Fighting Revealed in Statement From Berlin-Austrian Line Pierced, But Invaders Were
 Hurled Back by the Reserves


 In Galicia and Bessarabia the Russians have resumed their fierce attacks on the Austrian lines and made breaches in them at some points, but were subsequently, driven out, according to the Aus trian official report. At one point the Russians were only elected after hand to hand fighting in which the reserves had to be brought up, the statement reveals. The fact that German 15-inch shells have begun dropping in Nancy just back of the French lines, has caused stories of de- struction and panic to be circu- lated in Paris and elsewhere. From the statement issued by the prefect of the department in which Nancy is situated, to discredit these ru- mors, it apears that there have been casualties in the city, six persons having been killed and 10 wounded and that the population is leaving, but it is declared that

GERMAN COMMENT ON
 CRISIS IS CAUTIOUS
None of Berlin Papers Predict Out come of COnscription Fight in
 England

Berlin, January S.-(Via London) The German newspapers display much interest in reports of the conscription crisis in England, but venture no pre- diction regarding it's outcome. The Morgen Post speaks of the British governments 'Pyrrhic victory" and says the Asquith cabinet emerges from the struggle greatly weakened.
 The socialist organ, Vorwaerts, is disposed to think that conscription in the form proposed will be carried through It says that a hard struggle is ahead, but if the war lasts sober calculation will have to reckon with the fact that the present active resistance will be overcome.
 The Post warns the German leaders against building great hopes upon Eng lands internal conflict. It points out that crises have a habit of adjusting themselves and adds:
 What difference does 1t make any how if England really should have d crisis? Todays cabinet would go and tomorrows cabinet would come and would begin where this one left off England must wage war with all het powers to ward off misfortune, and any new minister who might come would come with this feeling. Just as victory is certain for the ministry ir Parliament, just so will the ministry maintain itself before the people Il new elections come Despite all out cries of anti-conScription gatherings there is no evidence to show that the English people today would resist con- scription as strongly as they certainly would have done a year ago. Engltsf voters along with their leaders have learned their lesson. One must at least wait to see whether they will deserl their leaders in such an hour.

 Although troops began arriving here about o'clock this morning, none was taken to East Youngstown for patrol duty until nearly noon when Mayor Cunning ham of that place requested that militia men replace police officers there in order to permit the men to get much needed rest.

HUMPHREY LATEST TO CUT LOOSE WITH
 ATTACK IN HOUSE
Becomes Highly Oratorical in His Assertions That All the Democratic Pr0speri- ty Is Blood Soaked"
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, January S.-(Special.)-T republicans are apparently more con cerned with the delivery of campaign speeches in Congress in that a President of the ''standpat variety might be elected the coming fall than with the solution of the innumerable delicate and far-reachlng problems with which the country is con fronted.
 For instance, because Secretary Red field, some days ago, ventured the asser- ton that prosperity has settled over every section of the United States, Mr Hum phrey of Washington on Wednesday de- livered an address in which he character ized democratic prosperity" as prosperity of the "blood- soaked variety.
 And in the Senate, on the same day, the white feather brigade injected into the orgy of running debate the irrelevent con- tention that the government was guilty of murder in that it issued passports with out demanding affidavits that American tourists will not put foot on vessels of beIligerent nations.

THE G. 0. P. PROGRAMME

In other words, it is evident that the political advisers of the republican party have commanded their orators to argue away in any possible manner they deem proper the fact that the nation, under L democratic administration, and under 4 practical tariff flor revenue only, is prosperous.
 some time ago, as readers of The Ages Herald will reeall, senator Penrose ut- tered a remarkable statement to the effect that the depression of some months gone was traceabIe directly to the Underwood tariff, and that the present business re- naissanee is due solely to the fact that distracted Europe is engaged in the most destructive war of the ages.
 To practically the same effect, MT. Hum phey spoke in the House. Unfortunate, no democrat made answer to the rhetorician of Washington. But as is recalled, Sena- tor Underwood replied to Senator Pen- rose, and demanded that if the repub- licans impute to the tariff whatever ills have befallen, they must in fairness award to the democratic Legislation cer- tain tribute for existing prosperity. MT. Hef1in of Ala abana, declared today that he would in all probability attempt to an- swer Humphrey next week, and democrats are resting secure in the knowledge that in the hands of the Alabama orator, Will sons administration and it's achievements ro fo of h11 xxtal

Arriving at the German port of Warne- muende in d ferryboat from Denmark the Americans, with the Norwegian, Swe- dish and Danish delegates, were met by special train. The train, which was provided by special permission of the military authorities, stood on the dock surrounded by soldiers.

 For the first time in the history of the city saloons were closed in Youngstown on a Saturday. Saloons in East Youngs- town and Struthers were also closed, but those in Girard, five miles away, were open, and cars running to that town were crowded.
 Reports from Struthers, where threats had been made to blow up the Yellow creek dam, which would result in the flooding of the business section of that place, said all was quiet there. A de- tachment of soldiers were sent to Struth-
 CTS today and these, aided by armed citi- zens, patrolled the district tonight.
