GERMAN A|RMEN
GAIN SUCCESSES
ON WEST FRONT
Drop Heavy Explosives on
French Factories and Win
Aerial Engagements; Teu-
tons Feeling Way Forward,

Berlin, Jan. 25 (by Wireless to Say
vile. )--The success of German airmen
in numerous operations along the
western front is dwelt upon by the
military critic of the Overseas News
agency in his review of the situation
in that fighting area today.
For the purpose or reConnoiter-
ing" he writes, German aeroplanes
have advanced far behind the hostile
lines. The Pompey and Frourd
foundries, north of Nancy, were eff
ciently shelled by heavy artillery with
the assistance of observations made
by the airmen. simultaneously a
German battle squadron successfully
dropped bombs of total of 1900
Kilograms on the same objects.
Win Air Battles.
? German machines won victories
over the enemy in numerous air en-
gagements both in front and behind
the hostile lines, the enemy in conse-
quence losing eight machines.
OF the Rumanan front the critic
writes:
'In the Carpathians severe cold
prevails. The weather being clear,
however the forces of the central
powers are steadily feeling their way
forward, step by step. The shelling of
Galatz is proceeding and during clear
nights the glare of the burning town
is visible at distance of several
miles.
The Bulsar Retreat.
Accommodating detachments com
prising two Bulgarian companies,
crossed the st. George arm of the
Danube and advanced one kilometer
northward over the frozen swampy
ground, driving back the Russian out
posts During the night they re-
treated, under orders, before an at
tack by superior hostile forces.
Seven Russian tugboats carrying
war material attempted to reach Reni
Gin Bessarabia on the Danube) during
the night but were sunk by artillery
fire"

Secretary Lansing Sends Note
to Camanza Calling Atten-
ton to IDjuStiCeS to For
eign interests,
WOULD GIVE VAST
POWER TO PRESIDENT
Provisions Now Under Con-
Sideration Would Take
Property of Aliens Without
Compensation,

Mexico City, Jan. 25-Secretary of
state Lansing has sent to General
Carranza through Charles b. Parker,
American charge daffaires here, a
communication in regard to certain
provisions which it has been pro-
posed to include in the new Mexican
constitution. r h e communication
calls attention to the article vesting
the executive with power to appro-
pirate property without judicial re-
course. and also the article providing
that civil commercial companies can
not own properties of u greater area
than is necessary to accomplish the
purpose fer which they are formed
and placing the power to determine
what area is necessary in the hands
of the executive.
Might BE Confiscation.
The communication says that If
the latter provision were made retro
active it might he confiscatory, as no
provision is made for compensation.
Attention is called to the article
providing that there be no exemp-
ton from taxation. If this were given
a retroactive effect says Secretary
Lansing's communication, it would
impair contracts of many foreign
corporations now operating under
agreements providing periods of ex-
emption by the federal or state gov
ernments
Regarding article SO, dealing with
the expulsion of obnoxious foreign
ers. objection is made because the
proposed nrtcle permits the executive
To expel anyone. without recourse to
appeal, whose presence is deemed in
advisable by him. The letter states
that this is not in accord with the
usual practice of nations that cause
he shown clearly.
Files Another Protest.
Mr.. Parker also has sent to Gem
eral Carranza a statement from Sec
retary Lansing protesting against the
proposed article in the new constitu-
ton which stipulates that special
concessions must be obtained by ex-
ploiters of oil lands, and allows COM
panies now owning such lards one
year in which to secure new conces-
sions in order to protect the proper
ties they have acquired. The state
ment says this article means virtual
naturalization of Mexican oil lands
and might prove confisCatory of for
eign owned property.

He tried to smile at his wonderful
luck, but he was under the spell of a
new mood. We were listening breath
lessly, hanging on every word, yet
fearing that he would tell too much
of the horrible side of war After a
short pause he went on.
81 never minded the dead, but the
rending cries of the wounded and dy-
ing were constantly ringing in my
ears, while the terrific cannonading
maddened me with it's never-ceasing
roar. 1t took me a full week to
become accustomed to the horror of
it, and for two months the only sleep
| could get was seated in the trench
my head in my hands,"
Then he weakened the horror of
our impressions by telling how TWEEN
ty French prisoners were brought
back to their trenches by German
soldiers who had gone astray. In
one of their advances the French had
turned German trench Of which
these soldiers were unaware, so that
when they started to the rear with
their prisoners they walked into the

He stopped his narrative, coughed ;

of the contrary, but soldiers are al
ways hungry. Besides, he was long

ty dishes prepared by his mother. The
table W. S quickly set in the back
garden, all the reserves of the kitchen
were brought out, and for two hours
the family lowered over him as he ate
and talked, amused at his joyful ex-
carnations on the funny ways of civil
ians. He had such disdain for
them.
He found napkins and tablecloths
altogether superfluous and, with his
boyish laugh, he said that things were
simpler in the trenches. For in

to words, "to clean your tin plate
