HOLLAND Threatened
BY PRESS OF GERMANY
Breach of Neutrality Charged In
Transfer Of Ships to Y. s.
Service.

Amsterdam, Jan. 25.-The Cologne
Gazette shakes the mailed fist over
what it calls Hollands breach of neu-
trality in consenting to charter to
America 80 Dutch ships in American
ports. Under the provisions Of the
declaration of London and according
to Anglo-American marine law, de.
clares the newspaper, ships in the
coastwise service of an enemy coun-
try become enemy ships even though
they fly neutral flag, and the owners
are neutral subjects. Hence these 80
ships become enemy ships, it is said,
and nation sanctioning such a deal
is guilty Of breach Of neutrality. We
shall remind Holland Of this" adds
the Gazette.
The Dusseldorf Nachtrickten speaks
of Holland as in the war service of
the United States, arguing that the
chartered vessels, even if they do not
touch European waters, set free Amer
lean ships for transport service.

CHAMBERLAIN ANSWERS CHIEF
SENATOR SAYS WILSON DOES
NOT KNOW FACTS.
Oregon Legislator Takes Floor On
Question Of Personal Privilege
Repeats Statement Which
Drew Fire.

Washington, Jan Is. - Senator
Chamberlain, chairman Of the mill
tary committee arose to question of
personal privilege in the Senate
Thursday, and replied to President
Wilson's recent statement charging
that the senator, in a speech in New
York advocating government war re-
organization and declaring inefficien-
cy existed in all branches of the gov
ernmcnt, had made IAN astonishing
and absolutely unjustifiable distortion
OF the truth" .
On Question Of Personal Privilege.
Six thousand persons clamored for
admittance to Senate galleries, which
hold fewer than 1000. Not since the
Presidents war declaration message
has there been such excitement at the
capitol as developed. 81
Senator Chamberlain took the floor
on question Of personal privilege.
He decided on this course because of
repeated threats Of administration
leaders to prevent his speech.
Senator Chamberlain repeated the
statement which drew the Presidents
fire, and declared the President him
self does not know the truth.
Blame for Deaths in Camps.
Senator Chamberlain said ne would
show that the deaths of the hundreds
and thousands Of men at cantonments
and camps were due to the War de-
Dartment and chat all eDidemica
could have been prevented If the War
department lad been effective"
In beginning his address Senator
Chamberlain said the President had
attacked both his veracity and integ-
rity, heretofore unchallenged, but that
in replying he did so without any per-
sonal feeling against the President.

VIGOROUS ALLIED

GENERAL BLISS BACK IN PARIS
AS REPRESENTATIVE ON
U. s. WAR COUNCIL.
MAKE PLANS TO MEET DRIVE
Chief Of Staff Said to Garry lnstruc-

lies In West.

Washington, Jan. 25.-General Tas-
ker H. Bliss, chief Of staff, who has
arrived in Paris, will represent the
United States army on the supreme
war council.
Secretary Baker in so announcing,
disclosed that the general is accompa-
MED by high officers of every branch
OF the service to advise about any
questions that may arise.
While Secretary Bakers statement
merely said that General Bliss had ar
rived in France to represent the army
on the council, there have been intt
nations that renewed recommends

on the widest possible scale were in
Guided in the instructions the general
received before sailing. ~
Will Plan to Meet Drive. ,-
Probably the primary consideration
before the council when it recon
venes will be the widely advertised
proposed German offensive on the
Western front. A mass of informa-
ton has reached the Allied powers
from many quarters indicating an I'M
rendind drive against the British or
French lines, or both, which will be
carefully reviewed. Ways and means
to meet such concentration of Ger
man and Austrian forces as is indi.
Gated, undoubtedly have been consid-
cred. .. $685..
The possibility is suggested here
that tie Allies may anticipate the
German attack with a great drive as
the British once did in Flanders,
Pershing Cannot Spare Time. .
General Bliss attended the first
meeting of the council and decision
to send him back to Europe as a per-
manent representative in that body
was made because it was recognized
that General Pershing's duties in
organizing and commanding the ever
increasing American expeditionary
forces were too great to permit him
to undertake the presentation Of
American views on military opera
tions and to sit with the council
in framing plans of strategy that
cover all fronts and all armies.
No word Of the departure of Gen
eral Bliss had been published until
the news of his safe arrival came.

SITUATION IS HELD CRITICAL
WARNING SOUNDED BY LONDON
CORRESPONDENT TO ENGLAND.
t1indenburg Said To Be Massing 200
~ Divisions For Drive
49,. In France. -

London, Jan, 25.-The situation on
the western front is now critical, in
the opinion of Col. c. A. Repington,
one of the foremost English mill
tary critics, who recently resigned
from the Times and became military
correspondent of the Morning Post.
In his first contribution to the Post
he criticises Premier Lloyd George
and the war cabinet severely because,
he asserts, they have failed to main.
tain the strength of the British arm
les in the west, thereby creating the
present conditions.
Germans Active.
Colonel Repington says the Ger.
mans now have 165 divisions on the
western front or more than all the
Allies combined, excluding the Italian
theater. The number of German troops
is being increased, he adds, at the
rate Of to Is divisions monthly ana
may be expected to reach more than
200 divisions as soon as it is possible
to concentrate them. The arrival OF
some Austrian forces also is to be
expected and news already has come
Of the appearance of Austrian troops
in Belgium. Remarking that the &C.
emulation of this immense force may
be either to support negotiations or
for a grand attack, the writer says
all the evidence points to the impend-
ing delivery of series Of great at
tacks.
Reviewing the strength of Great
Britain's allies, Colonel Repingten
writes:
1.-THE American troops are not COM
ing in as fast as some sanguine esti-
mates foretold, but l feel sure that
General Bridges, who accompanied Mr.
Balfour to the United States, must
have given the war cabinet pretty
accurate forecast. The American
army can be only a contingent during
the next few months. This is all the
more reason why we this year should
place every available man in the
field"

RUSSIA REJECTS
TEUT0n DEMANDS
DELEGATES TO BREST-LiTovsk
CONFERENCE DECIDE TO
TURN DOWN OFFERS.
NOW Up TO RUSS CONGRESS
Congress Of Soldiers and Workmen's
Delegates Must Now Decide
Question Of Peace ..
Or War.

Petrograd, Jan. 25.-Russia's dele.
gates to the Brest-Litovsk peace con
ference have decided unanimously to
reject the terms offered by the Ger.
mans. ...,
M. Kamaneff, who returned from
Brest-Litovsk with Foreign Minister
Trotzky, said the remainder of the
Russian delegation had stayed there
in. order to avoid the appearance OF
an immediate rupture.
1--WE were told" he added, "that
the German terms were the last they
would offer. .....
I'VE were unanimous that they
should be rejected. Final decision,
however, must rest with the soldiers
and workmen's delegates"
TIE terms of the Germans, as enun.
ciated by General Hoffman, one of
their chief delegates to tie peace
conference, so far form an insuperable
barrier for the Bolsheviki government,
which has expressed determination
to carry out the policy of no annex
ations and no indemnities.
Germans After Annexations
Couriand in it's entirety and all of
Russia's Baltic provinces are to be re-
tanned by Germany, according to Gen
earl Hoffman, in what is termed as
Germany's last proposal to the Rus
SLAMS and the added threat was given
that If the Russians failed to acqui-
esce in the demands, further inroads
would follow and the important port
of Reveal, near the mouth of the Gulf
of Finland, would be occupied. ~ 81.
In theatric fashion General Hoff-
man delineated on a map before the
=sstonished Russian delegates the new
Russian frontier as the Germans in
tend it to run-from the shores of the
Gulf of Finland eastward to the Moon
Sound islands and then to the west
of Minsk and thence to Brest-Litovsk
leaving within German boundaries
some of Russia's choicest territory.
siavs Amazed at Audaeity.
Amazed at the audacity of the Ger
man program, the Russian delegates
asked for time to consider the de.
mands. This was grudgingly given, to-
gether with the announcement that it
was the last postponement that could
be expected. Later the Russians unan-
imously rejected the German terms.
What the new situation will bring
forth is problematical. With the poll
tical situation in Russia still in tur-
moil and the battle line depleted of
lighting men through defections, it is
hardly probable that the Russians will
be able to withstand at the present
moment any great show of force by
the Germans toward the capture Of
Reval, which would prove handy
base from which to operate against
Petrograd or to push their line fur
Their forward from the old battle line.
