1900 feet, suddenly righted himself
and dived at the balloon. He opened
and continued firing until he almost
touched the big gas bag. Just as he
passed over it the thing burst into
flames and was destroyed in a few
seconds.
The Germans lately have adopted the
ruse OF "stalling" and shamming
fall out of control. 1t is a thrilling
but not uncommon thing to see Ger
man machine when closely pressed turn
its tail straight up in the air and dive
toward the earth for distance OF two
or three thousand feet, and just as the
initiated onlocker would expect a
"crash" it hattens out and starts pell-
nell for its own lines. One does not
always get away with this bit OF aerial
strategy. however, as IS shown by the
record Of Captain B. After attack
ing three hostile machines he saw one
Of them going down in spinning nose
dive. He suspected the honesty OF
that dive and decided TO do a little
diving ION his own" This dramatic
downward duel continued for full fiye
thousand feet, until the German was
driven into a spin land seen to crash.

Two French Counter Al
tacks Beaten Back,
Says Berlin
BOTH SIDES "JUMPY,"
WAITING BIG DRIVE
Trench Raids Reflect
Armies Man9uvring to
Strike First Blow

London. Jan. Though subjected
TO incessant bombardment and two
sharp attacks in the last twenty-four
hours. the Germans cling TO the posi-
tons won from the French on Hill 3Oi,
northwest Of Nerdun.
Nivelle's troops advanced against the
enemy last night and again in the early
hours Of this morning, but the Germans
held out against every attempt to dis
lodge them. While Paris records the
obstructive" bombardmeni or the po-
sitions occupied by the troops Of the
Grown Prince on Hill 30i, it makes no
new claims of success in efforts TO re-
gain the lost ground.
Along the entire Nerdun front the
artillery duel was violent. At Eparges
the Germans undertook a surprise as
sault, but found the French on the
alert and were unable 10 advance.
Whether the Germans expect great
offensive by the French on the Meuse
or merely hope to sharpen the French
salient east of the river, it is impos-
sible to Judge until the attack is re-
newed by one side or the other
On. the remainder of the front lively
infantry operations were carried
through by both sides.
The increasing number of trench
raids and patrol encounters north Of
the Somme and in the La Bassee and
Arras sectors is regarded here as sig
nificant. Both sides are swaiting with
tense nerves the concentration of en-
envy forces for some new point OF at
tack. Naturally, each is anxious TO get
the jump on the other, for the first
blow is usually the most important.
The extraordinary aerial activity con-
tinues along the whole front from
Verdun to Ypres. French scouting
squadrons engaged in several aerial
battles yesterday, in the course Of
which they brought down five German
machines. Bombing groups attacked
works behind the enemy's lines with
success, causing a number of fires and
explosions.

Liverpool, Jan. 27.-Sir F. Z. Smith,
the British Attorney General, speaking
at a meeting of workingmen here to-
night, criticised President Wilson's re-
cent statement concerning the freedom
Of the seas.
Before the war broke out he said,
"the seas we're free to all the world
and for whom does President Wilson
claim freedom? As long as we remain
geographically an island there will be
no freedom for a power that agrees

Rank and File Hostile to
Party Approving "Peace
Without Victory"
PACIFIST MINORITY
ABSORBS MAJORITY
War Advocates Yield to
Avert Split, but Action
May Force Rupture
BY FRED B. PITNEY
lRr cahle 70 The Tribunsl

Paris. Jan. 27.--The resolution
adopted yesterday by the Socialist
group in the Chamber of Deputies APP
proving President Wilson's peace
speech and calling on the French gov
eminent to declare itself in accord
with the utterances of the President
is by no means unanimously accepted
by the rank and file of the Socialist
party.
On the contrary, there is widespread
disagreement with the resolution, and
the result seems to show two things:
First, by the long immunity from
elections which the war has given to
the Deputies the Socialist members of
the Chamber have in many cases got
decidedly out of touch with their con-
stituents; second, the division of the
Socialist Deputies into a majority and
minority is now practically fiction, as
the pacihst minority has almost alb
sorbed the majority, which previously
had favored fighting the war to a VIC
torious conclusion, no matter how long
it took.
The three Kienthalists we're the
most radical opponents OF the minority
and they were so radical that they
formed h group by themselves. They
still stand out in their own little block,
but be il remembered that in the re-
cent Socialist congress in Paris the
session was secret and the resolution
finally adopted was quite pacific in
tone, while on the peace vote the ma
jority was cut down until il was just
barely visible to the naked eye.
IL is generally accepted that the
meaning Of the vote is that the ma
jority gave in to prevent a split in the
party. But this is by no means a
satisfactory state Of affairs TO the rank
and file of the party.
In general, the rank and file accept
President Wilson's speech with pleas
ure as outlining just what France is
fighting for. What sticks in their
crop is what is troubling the rest OF
the country-the phrase peace with
out victory"-and the Socialist electors
are by no means pleased that the lead
ers of their party, by adopting the
resolution yesterday, committed them
to such a declaration.
That action is certain to accentuate
the bitterness within the party, which
has already become so acute that the
Socialist congresses have TO be held in
secret so as to try to hide their
troubles from the people, and may re-
suit in a definite split. the "war to vic
tory" minority forming a new group
by themselves.

corn was not entirely sufficient to last
until new crops we're available. In this
contingency the importation Of some
hundred thousand tons of bread corn
from Germany had been planned, but
the Austrian share Of the Rumsnisn
stores makes this unnecessary, the
provisioning Of Austria being assured,
after the conquest Of Rumania, with

Local difficulties occur everywhere
during the war, but according 70 MY In
formation such local difficulties are
much more frequent in the countries
of our enemies than in our country
and those of our allies. The assertion
that the peace offer was made because
of food difficulties is on q line with
many similar reports spread BY the
Entente press during the war, all OF
which have been proved by the facts
TO be untrue"

As matter of fact, the first part
of the Presidents purpose, to make
new move in the peace maneuyres-
he probably will make several othars in
the next few months-is OF little prac-
teal Importance. Peace - not in sight.
The Allies are determined on another
campaign.
What President Wilson says or DOCS
will not influence that determination.
The Germans, understanding that they
have reached the apex OF military
ing il. Their representatives here
agree that peace is two years of.
The second part Of the Presidents

ton TO convince the American people
that the time has come to abandon the
Washington doctrine of isolation from
the affairs and quarrels of Europe and
the Monroe doctrine Of keep of the
Western Hemisphere" is of great prac-
teal and immediate Importance. 1t is
in this discussion that the supporters
of the Presidents policy require in
tellectual honesty.
Conflicts with Monroe Doctrine
81 am proposing. as it we're, that the
nations should, with one accord, adopt
the doctrine of President Monroe as
the doctrine of the world" So spoke
President Wilson.
II is that part Of his address that
his supporters are trying TO use as
foundation for their theory that the
Presidents new policy does not mean
the abandonment of the Monroe Doc
trine. IL does absolutely conflict with
the Monroe Doctrine. Democrat sup
porters Of the President in the Senate,
talking privately, freely admit that.
There ought to be no mistake in the
minds OF the American people that the
new foreign policy now advocated by
the President is direct reversal OF
all cur foreign policy.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, who opposes
such reversal with all his heart and
soul. is fighting first OF all for honest
admission Of the facts, that the Amer
lean people may not be deceived

Momentous Struggle Ahead
The greatest question which the peo-
pie of this country have had TO decide
in all their history is about to be pro-
posed to them. The speeches which
public men so far have made have been
only the fire OF the skirmish line. The
ensuing battle now plainly about TO
be fought must have tremendous con-
sequences.
One side, il is certain, will be led by
President Wilson. He believes aban-
donment of isolstion and of the Monroe
Doctrine offers the best plan for the
safety Of the republic. All his oppo-
nents here realize that his position was
taken deliberately and after long con-
sideration.
Senator Borah, who so far has been
the most vocal Of the Presidents oppo-
nents. will have behind him the power
full influence OF Theodore Roosevelt.
There are plain and entirely credible
signs that members Of the Presidents
