fuous; to use workingmen wherever he

there is hardly any phase Of human ac-
tivity in which he does not have TO

One must not conceive Of the admin

as if Mr.. Groener would shift the work
ingmen from one place to another arbi-
trarly and without giving regard TO
their local relations. II is not con-

there will be every endeavor to bring
work TO the workers, namely, to create
wherever heretofore luxury or peace

Everything will be conducted in the
most rational manner, which hereto

could work only part time, maintained

likely given the fundamental ideas for
this new civil service law. Next 70

General Quartermaster Ludendorf,
who represents the pushing energy.
In addition 10 them there is. the new
Minister of War, Won Stein, a man who
has been particularly popular in Ger
many because he wrote and signed the
first great news Of victory IN the fall
OF 1914, when he was the general quar-
termaster. lie was recently one OF the
generals at the Somme, and he is there

necessities OF modern warfare with its
huge requirements Of munitions. lie

A special role is being played in con-

execution by the youthful General
Groener. from Wurttemberg, who
proved himself during the first year
and a half Of the war a genius in the
strategy of Iailroading for he is re-

German stroke was not deep enough or

Another part Of this secondary pur-
nose was to throw the onus Of prolong-

desired 10 wash her hands Of further
blood guilt. II was hoped that neutrals
would be convinced that the Allies were

ATTACKS BY BOTH SIDES
REPULSED ON WEST FRONT
Vigorous Fighting Brings Success
Neither 10 the Allies Nor Germans

London, Jan. Vigorous attacks by
both sides at many points marked the
day i'm the Western front. In none OF
their attempts was either the Allies
or the Germans able to pierce the
enemy's trench lines.
The Germans carried out sharp at
tacks on the Ancre. near Beaumont
Hamel; north Of Ypres. in the region Of
Wytschaete, in the Nosges and east Of
the Meuse North Of Arras heavy
British attack was rolled back by the
troops Of Prince RupDrecht but in the
Armenticres sector a raid on the Ger
man trenches proved successful.
French aviators continued their at
tacks on enemy stations and encamp-
ments. One German machine was
brought down in a battle at close range.

Washington, Jan. THE first act oil
the leak drama will be staged at the
Capitol tomorrow. All that has hap
pencd thus far has been only prologue
and it is yet too carly TO say whether
the play will end as a farce or trag-
cdy. The farce theory is a big IA
yorite.
An imposing list OF witnesses for
tho first real hearing of the investiga-
ton has been compiled by the House
Committee on Rules. II includes:
Secretary Of state Lansing, who will
be expected to testify as to the posi-
bility Of leak having occurred
through his department.

President. whose name was mentioned
TO the committee Friday by Represen-
tatiye Wood. introducer of the leak
resolution. Mr.. Wood said that there
were rumors current that Mr.. Iumulty
lunched with Barney Baruch day or
two before the leak is supposed TO
have occurred, and produced a letter
signed "A. Curtis relating the same
rumOr.
Mr. Tumulty has denied these ru-
mors, and has asked Mr.. Wood to
apologize for dragging his name IN
without justification.
Bernard NJ Baruch, Wall Street
operator. who is alleged TO have made
q million dollars or so by the stock
markets fluctuations about the time
the note was sent.

Thomas W. Lawson. whose vague but
emphatic declarations that there had
been a leak forced the passage OF the
Wood resolution. He arrived here
from New York this morning.

Germany several months ago and IS
thought to have sources Of inside in
