fled, is supplied with good warm cloth
ing and large reserve supply is avail

~ know of no instance where the
work of the navy has been delayed by
lack of supplies, said MCGOWAN, and
there have been no cases Of suffering
because Of insufficient winter clothings
in spite of the large number of enlist

months. -
Every man on the fighting ships of
the nation and at the training stations
has two all wool blankets, McGowaR
said. and there is a reserve supply at

FAKE CRISIS
IN POLITICAL AFFAIRS
OF Central EMPIRES
There Is Evidence That Junk
ers Are Still Safely In
Saddle In Germany
By Lowell Mellett

Omitted Press staff correspondent
London, Jan. 9-Germany has Just
fput over another "fake political
crisis, - according to best information
available here today.
The idea evidently was conceived
by the pan-Germans and the fact that
it apparently was carried out and its
manufacture eieyerly cloaked, is fur
ther evidence, together with the kais-
er's attitude, that the junkers are
still safely in the saddle in Germany.
The 'fcrisis" was in the widespread
report that Quartermaster General Luz
dendorff and Field Marshal linden
burg would resign unless policies fay
ored by the German annexationists pre-
vailed at Brest-Litoysk.
Both Ludendorff and Hindenburg
have been held up to public view as
demigods, guaranteeing the safety of
the people through their superhuman
cunning in war The report they might
step down tgaa evidently circulated
with the idea of inducing the people
to agree to any steps whatever which
might retain these two "supermen
on the job.
Best information via Holland Is
that neither Hindenburg nor his alter
ego ever seriously considered resign.
ing. Both are confident that their in
fluencc is potent-despite the more
liberal tendencies Of Foreign Minister
Kuehlmann.

Of the conviction here that the militar'
lists and autocrats still reign supreme
in Germany is the fact that so far

POLITICAL OFFENSIVE
IS DIRECTED AGAINST
THE CENTRAL POWERS
London Papers Generally
Comment on President
Wilson's Latest Speech
By Ed L. Keen

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Jan. 9.-President Wilson IS
speech was the second great salvo in the
allies political offensive-the drive
which is expected to be more effective
than guns or bayonets in the defeat of
Germany.
Other allied leaders very shortly win
fire further salvos Of verbal artillery.
Then, if authoritative information
here is correct, Will come a concerted al
lied bombardment in the form Of Il joint
re-statement Of all war aims statements
by the leaders of thought among the
allies.
AS London eagerly read the presidents
statement today, its special appeal to
Russia was held the most timely fea-
ture Of the whole cpochaI document.
President Wilson Is speech came at a
psychologically opportune moment Pre-
mier Lloyd-Georgc S speech had mark
ed effect in "bucking up" Great Brit.
ain. On the top wave Of this feeling
throughout the empire comes President
Wilson s notable address, indicating
thorough agreement and complete unity
among the allies.
The Wilson message was received too
late for comment by any Of the London
morning newspapers except the Chron-
icle, which said:
"Once more the president has seized
Oh a great occasion to lead the conscious
of civilized mankind. He is exerting
unique authority, both moral and poll
teal, as the spokesman for the democrat
ic future OF the world. ="
Most of London s newspaper editor
ials hailed the Wilson speech as part of
this political offensive against the Cen
trail Powers.
The Evening Standard headed its
editorial comment A parallel often
sive; second blow The editorial it
self said in part:
"'The president IS address is a notable
contribution to the drumfire against
the enemy's moral position, while sol
diers deal energetically against them
in the field. We hope the politicians
win continue to shell the system whose
creed is imperial domination of the
globe. We hope Downing Street (name-

peace ideals. The theaters in cities
large and small are showing motion
pictures sent over by the Creel com
mittee and literature of all kinds Is
beinc distributed by tile ton.
In Austria Hungary, aeroplanes are
dropping educational matter over en-
emv trenches to convince thinking
people among the soldiers fighting
there that their battle is vain one,
should Germany be victorious and
place her iron heel upon Emperor
Charles domain.
Similar laetics are being pursued
ever German and Bulgarian trenches.
This country, for the first time since
the war started, is actually "getting
across to enemy fighters the Ameri-
can position in the war, the dangers
of a German made peace and the safe
ty of a peace sponsored by this gov
ernment.
Hundreds bf thousands of dollars
are being spent in the undertaking,
probably the greatest "moral offens-
i've in the world S history, but con-
fidential reports show that the effort
is bearing fruit. Conditions in Austria
Hungary and even in Germany arc
such as to cause tremendous concern
by the rulers at the demand for DEM
ocratic government by the liberals.
In Russia, the Germans have found
tnat the sr1it of the peasant, even
in political chaos, cannot be easily
dominated and, through a better un-
derstanding Of the allied position re
sulting largely from the successful ap-
n ] I.
statement of allied war aims, Russia
at last appears to be awakening to
her danger.
But whether or not successful in
preventing a separate Russo-German
peace, President Wilson will not relax
his determination to help Russia pre-
serve the democracy she has won. The
committee ON public information will
continue its work of education.
This is America s peculiar contri-
antion to the war diplomacy of the
world-and the United States will
carry on its work until the end.

Presidents S Address Is Word
ed So As To Allow Many
Notifications
SHOULD is EMPLOYED
FOR IMPERATIVE MUST
In Many Statements There
May Be Seen Hint Of
Possible Modification
By Carl D. Groat

Washington, Jan. Off Germany re-
alizes she has reached the end Of her
hope, Presideat Wilson S and LLOYD
George 5 war aims utterances will pave
tho way to peace. If she has not yet
reached that decision, bitter struggle
is ahead.
That is the view of high authorities
today. All experts say that the nation
ought not to be lulled into any false idea
OF an early peace. As for congress, there
was surprisingly general thought the
speech will hasten negotiations.
Reason for Speech.
The president 8 main purpose in maxi
ing yesterday 8 speech were:
To appeal strongly to Russia al
to bring her back into the allied fold;
10 appeal to the liberals, particularly
Austria and Germany, to bring about
changes which would shunt militarism
aside; and to put the American allied
war aims so strongly on record as to
destroy doubts of where we stand.
The president s sympathetic appeal to
Russia was regarded hopefully in state
department and diplomatic quarters,
particularly by the Russian representa-
tives.
1t was held too early to hazard
guess as to what Russia will do. The
Russian embassy thought the people as
a whole will welcome the expressions.
But there were suggestions in some cir
cles that Germany will try to offset It
by accepting some of the Wilson pro-
posals and hypocritlcaIly agreeing to
f'negotiate on others so as to impress
Russia with willingness for negotia-
tion.
On the whole, however, the feeling
here was that it will go far toward
swinging Russia back to the allies.
1t was pointed out today that both
President Wilson and Lloyd-George
were in some respects more conciliatory
in tone than ever before and that Will
son apparently left some loopholes for
negotiations, such, for instance as the
Alsace-L Lorraine matter.
