Captain Angler. head Of the British

the affair. Major General Erwin, COM
mander Of the camp. has addressed a
communication to Captain Angler re-
questing that steps be taken to pre-
vent any further statements by mem

Sergeant Farquhar declares that his
statements that it required half of the

Czernin Tells of
Sending Text of
Speech to Wilson

LONDON. Jan. o7.-Addrcssine the
Foreign Affairs Committee Of the
Reichsrath Saturday. Count Czernin,
Austro-Hungarian Minister OF Foreign
Affairs, according to ar Amsterdam dis
patch to the Central News, referred
frankly to the differences in the Aus
trian and German war aims. He cx-
planned that Germany wanted to get
her colonies back and obviously could
not consent to abandon occupied terri
tories before securing guarantees for
the restitution Of her possessions. Aus
tria, however, was differently situated
She stood everywhere on enemy terri
tory. except in Eastern Galicia.
The Cologne -azette's" Vienna cor.
respondent says that Count Czernin in
formed the Austrian delegations Sat-
urday that the TT Of his speech on
the war aims mad already been for
warded to President Wilson before it's
delivery.
This paper says that the statement
has caused an enormous sensation and
confirms the belief that Count Ger
nln's references to the United States
were TO actual steps taken TO bring
about an exchange Of views between
the Western powers and Russia and
Germany.
The Socialist paper "Vorwaerts"
joins in the controversy that has arisen
IN the German press as to whether
Count Czernin's peace invitation to
Pre- sident Wilson is indicative Of a
break in the Austro- German alliance.
Pan-German papers think that it is,
but ''Norwaerts" points to the
''weighty" phrase in Won Kuehlmann's
speech. I'VE are in agreement with
Count Czernin,' as proving, contrary to
the pan-German assumption, that
Count Czernin's fraternal kiss for
Presidcn Wilson received the German
governments blessing in advance"
Again complaining of German Chan
cellor von Hertlins's ambiguity. "Vor-
waerts" outlines it5 own programme,
based n "thc honest right Of self-
determination for the Eastern peoples.
including the right to rejoin Russia,
the complete reestablishment Of tho
independence Of Belgium and the return
OF occupied French territory on the
sole condition that France foregoes her
claim on German territory"

Baker to Put
InDefence in
Senate o-day
Hopes to Convince Nation
Conduct of War Was
Efficient

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81 Over
shadowing every other activity at the
Capitol tomorrow will be the appear
ance Of Secretary Baker before the
Senate Military Committee to answer
Senator Chamberlains charges of IN
efficiency and outline the War Depart
ment's accomplishments at home and
abroad.
The Secretary is prepared to reveal
much that hitherto has not been en-
phasized or even made public, and is
represented as confident Of reassuring
the country regarding the nations part
IN the war, as we'll as Of demonstrating
the absence Of necessity for the Sen
ate committees proposed legislation
for reorganization Of the war-making
machinery.
Though without prepared state
ment, Mr.. Baker will 90 before the
committee with a mass OF data bear
ing upon every important activity Of
his department. Cross-examination by
committee members is planned and his
testimony probably will continue all
day. and possibly part of Tuesday.
Later in the week he may make a SINH
lar statement before the House Mill
tary Committee and comment further
on army questions before that commit
tee in connection with the $7,700,000-
900 army appropriation estimates.
In both Senate and House this week,
possibly beginning tomorrow, extended
! debate on war efficiency is planned
Administration leaders OF both bodies
are preparing addresses championing
I the governments record and replying
/ to its critics.
Although the Senate committee voted
to meet tomorrow in its regular room,
and ignored Secretary Bakers request
that he be given hearing where he
might address a many members OF
both Houses as desired to listen, the
plan tonight was to adjourn to large
quarters if considerable crowd
assembled.
The place selected is. one Of the eau
Gus rooms of the Senate Office Build
ing, in which the famous lobby anC
other inquiries were held. Even this
room may not accommodate the spec
tators, and there was talk tonight Of
limiting attendance to members o.
! Congress.
The committees army investigation
will proceed, after Secretary Baker,
examination is concluded, with inquiry
into the aviation service and other
army branches. Tuesday the commit
tee expects to reconsider the Cham
berlaln war cabinet bill, probably re-
porting it to the Senate, with minor
ity proposing reference to the Nava
Committee. When it will be brought
before the Senate, where Adminstra
ton leaders are confident of killing tho
measure, is problcmatical.

Pershing Reports S Wounded
in Action and List of
Killed Is Growing

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Thc con-
tinued publication of official reports
from General Pershing of the deaths
Of American troops in action is re
garded here as strengthening the be-
lief expressed TO The Tribune several
days ago that the American forces have
taken over a section Of the battle line
in France. During the last five days
the lists of men killed in fighting have
grown steadily larger, and while still
insignificant in comparison with the
losses sustained by the French and
British day in and day out, they are
believed large enough to indicate that
Pershing's men have permanently
taken charge Of some trench section.
probably in the Lorraine region.
Official Washington is awaiting the
receipt of a detailed statement by the
American commander concerning the
fighting of the last week before COM
hitting itself on this question. Gen
eral Pcrshing's next report is expected
to make clear the exact activities OF
the American forces and to contain
what may De an important announce
ment.
General Pershing to-day reported the
wounding in action Of FIVE infantrymen.
Private Bergard Gorski, 3701 Diver

The German Chancellors speech to

the chute with rope around his waist.
Cropping in the sooty darkness, he was
able to grasp Reilly's arm. He tugged

held the man fast. Then the men at
the mouth Of the chute felt jerk on
the rope and hauled out two figures
