HUN REPLIES ID WAR AIMS
 CONSIDERED
 VERY HOSTILE
Hertling and Czernin Answer
 President and Premier But Leave Only Bad Taste of Prussianism in Their Wake
CBy Review Leased wirel

Germany. through her imperial chancellor. Count vOn Hertling. and Austria-Hungary. through its foreign minister. Count CZernin. have made reply to the peace terms of the allies and the United States as recently enuneiated by David LlOyd-George. the British prime minister, and President Wilson.
 Although both Count von Hertling and Count Czernin affect to see the possibility of coming into agreement wit htheir enemies in minor points. the concrete basis essential to peace are declared to be unacceptable.
 The spokesman for Germany was un compromisingly hostile to a majority of the peace aims as put forward by President Wilson. treating seriatim in his address those upon which Germa- ny could not come into accord. Count CZernin was more moderate in his treatment of President Wilson's ideas. declaring that the presidents view. point, expressed in his latest address to congress. showed that there was less incompatability between Austria Hungary and the United States than had seemed to be the case.
 From the German standpoint, ac- cording to Won Hertling. the restOTa- tiOn to France of Alsace-Lorraine is beyond the realms of discussion. Re- garding Belgium. he declares that it's restoration could be settled only ir peace negotiations, but that Germany never had demanded the incorporation of Belgian territory by violence. Likewise methods of procedure in the evacuation of northern France. must take account of Germany's vital inter ests and be agreed upon between Ger many and France.
 The chancellor said the fate Of Pc land and the Balkans and the read justment of the Italian frontier lies with Austria. while the evacuation of Russian territory concerns only Rus sia and the central powers. Gemrany, he added. considered that the integrity of Turkey and the safety of its capital were closely connected with the Ques- tion of the Dardanelles, which was of vital interest to Germany.
 With regard to Russia, Count Czer- min said Austria-Hungary desired no

PETROGRAD. Thursday. Jan. 24.- Major General Bonch-Bruevitch, chief of stan at the Russian front, paints a gloomy picture of the condition of the Russian armies in a report to Ensign .krylenko, the commander in chief. The army organizations are utterly de- mOralized. he says. the officers are in- experienced and the maintenance of discipline is impossible. The only pos sible salvation for the army, the only chance for offering an effective resist- ance. he declares is for the vauoUs sections of the army to fall back Co their defenses and undergo a thorough reorganization of the units duCer trained leaders.
 Western Front Open
 Many parts of the western front are entirely open General Bonch-Bruevitch reports. at numerous places there be- ing only 240 infantrymen to the mile. The reserves are refusing to relieve the men in the trenches and the sol diers are deserting in masses.
 Communications are broken and few horses are available. The wire entan- elements have been destroyed Co facil- itate fraternizing and the exchange of commodities with the German armies.
 At many points. adds the chief of stan. fortified points have been de stroyed. making resistance utterly im- possible on the lines as at present .c- cated even with good troops. Various branches of the staifs must soon cease work. he declares. because of the dis ordered conditions and the economic life of the army will thus be ruined.

SOLDIERS CLASH

Infantry Company Engages Mexican Soldiers in Pitched Battle Near the Internation- al Bridge at Fl Paso.
CRy RevIew Leased wirel


 FL PASO, Tex. Jan. 9. - For an hour and forty-five minutes tonight American and Mexican soldiers ex- changed shots across the Rio Grande near the Santa Fe international bridge in the southern section of Fl PasO. The river at the scene of the encount- CT is less than 150 feet wide and up- ward of 500 shots were exchanged One American, Private Linn. an infan- tryman. was struck in the lip by bull let. One Mexican. who was directing the fire from the Mexican side of the river, was seen to topple from his horse.
 According to the officer in command of the infantry company on duty at the bridge. the firing commenced when several groups of Mexicans supposed % have been smugglers. attempted to cross the river. It is not clear wheth- CT the first shots came from the Mex jeans or the. American side. but within a few minutes the shooting became general on both sides.
 Constant Fire
 On the Mexican side soldiers, many of them mounted. were stretched out for a distance of 300 yards and kept up constant fire apparently directed at the custom house and the immigra- tiOn service station at the American end of the bridge.
 The soldiers of the American bridge guard returned the fire briskly. shoot ing whenever they could discern a moving figure on the opposite bank of the river and at flashes of their Op- ponents' rifles.
 At II o'clock the firing ceased almost as abruptly as it had began. the Mexi- cans retiring from the river bank to- ward the business center of Juarez.
 The shooting caused the most in tense excitement in South Fl Paso which is inhabited almost entirely by Mexicans.
 Affair Trivial"
 Asked over the telephone for an ex, planatiOn the officer in charge of mili- tary headquarters at Juarez declined to make any statement beyond saying that the affair was trivial and that it was ended
 Since the United States authorities a month ago inaugurated a rigid en- forcement of the passport regulations thousands of Mexicans have been de- nied admission here, and the officers believe that those who attempted to cross tonight were men who had been rejected and were trying to effect an entrance into the United States under cover of darkness.
