PRESS IS ATTACKING GRAYSON’S APPOINTMENT
BUENOS AYRES, Jan. 21.—The
absence of the reports ol' additional
sinkings is now leading to the be
lief that the German commerce de
stroyer is entering the Pacific
Ocean.
BERLIN, Jan. 21.—The German
Admiralty reports that a German
submarine sank the British battle
ship Cornwallis on December 9th.
The British have concealed the loss
of this vessel. The Cornwallis, it is
announced, was sunk southwest of
Malta.
LONDON, Jan. 21.—Details of
the sinking of the British steamer
Dramatist are disclosed by some of
the crew that escaped. The raider
stopped the Dramatist, then hoisted
the German ensign and lowered
trap doors exposing guns. The
Germans then removed the crew of
the freighter and sank the steamer.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 21.—
Some international question is raised
as to the status of armed steamers
by reason of the fact that it has
been ascertained that there are three
Americans who are prisoners among
those who are held at Swinnemunde
Germany on board the captured
British freighter Yarrowdale.
HIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 21.—The
reports of the raider being present
in the South Atlantic are persistent,
although no vessels are reported to
be missing or over due just now.The
raider is probably adopting another
field for its activities.

TEUTONS TAKE POSITION
m RETIRE RUSSIANS
PETROGRAD, Jan. 21.—The
Teutons attacked Namesti in strong
force and succeeded in driving the
Russians towards the Sereth. The
Germans also attempted an attack
upon Barrash but were completely
unsuccessful. Fighting in the lower
sections of the Sereth-Danubian
valley is constant.
BERLIN, Jan. 21.—The Teutons
stormed and captured Nanesti in
Rumanian and gained the position
after severe fighting. Minor Russian
detachments in the eastern Carpa
thians have made repeated attacks
but have been unsuccessful. Four
hundred Rumanians were taken
prisoners in the two days fighting
in the Galatz sector. Heavy snow is
impeding the German artillery
movements and it is seldom that so
much snow has fallen there.
LONDON, Jan. 21.—Gain and loss
still are about evenly reported from
Rumania indicating a winter dead
lock. It is believed that the Ger
man statement that heavy snow is
impeding the artillery movements
will account, more than anything
else for the inability of the super
ior organized Teuton forces to forge
ahead. The situation is unlikely
to be productive of changed condi
tions until weather conditions
change when unless the Rumanian
and Russian forcec have improved
their epuipment, the situation is
likely to mark a resumption of the
successful driving policy fo Macken
zen. This very candid criticism is
by the military expert of the Times.

four neutral vessels have been sub
marined during the past week.
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—The giant
British Linenhall from Naples ar
rived here today and reports an ex

ralty still declines to make public
its efforts to locate raiders in the
Atlantic.

Cor. Lane’i Way and Front Street
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 21.—
Much opposition is following the ap
pointment of Dr. Grayson, the Wil
son family physician, to the post of
Gear Admiral.
The New York World usually a
staunch supporter of all the Wilson
policies will have none of it. This
is the first attack the World has
made on Wilson since he became
President. The World asks for the
withdrawal of the nomination and
says that it is wholly unwarranted.
Such promotions, concludes the
World in today’s (Sunday) issue, is
demoralizing the services. Rank |
favoritism is another expression
used in the article.
The Munsey-owned New York
Sun in less lenient in its criticism.
It is termed to be preposterous.
Grayson is ridiculed as wholly unfit
for such a position. It takes the li
berty of pointing out that Amiral
Dewey after the glorious victory
of Manilla Bay only jumped ahead
to his promotion for that great event
four numbers. The Sun asks if
keeping the Wilson feet clear of
bunions or the musical voice of
the president free from annoying
hoarseness is so much greater naval
feat than that of Dewey, that it
would justify Grayson jumping
ahead one hundred and thirteen
numbers.
The other papers are all indignant
this morning and regard the ap
pointments as ‘ludicrous’, or ‘dis
gusting’, or ‘unexpectedly frivol
ous’, or 'grossly unfair’. Senator
Jones officially objected in the sen
ate, thus delaying the confirmation
and the matter may be referred to
committee.
LEAK PROBE MEETS
GOTHAM, TOESDAY
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—The ac
tivities of the Rules Committee of
the House are to afford them a re
laxing and informing trip to Wall
street. That is to be the scene of
their spiritual endeavors to curb
the gambling tendencies of officials
and laymen. *
The leak probe will start in New
York on Tuesday and an array of
financiers are on the lists for exa
mination. This list includes the most
imperial of the financial emperors
who were not to be lightly incommo
ded by a trip to Washington. The
mountain declining to come to the
law-making Mahommeds, they wise
ly betake themselves to the moun
tain.
Miss Ruth Visconti will honor
the probe also with her testimony
which is expected to be sensational
in the extreme. This notoriety
huntress is recognized as charming
her way into the public eye with
all the success of a movie favorite.
Tom Lawson is to come to New
York according to a telegram in the
Times this evening where he will
watch the lions at the feast or the
financiers in their testimony.
The whole thing is not expected
to take more than a day or two,
r.nd most of the time will he taken
