GERMANS ON ACTIVE
OFFENSIVE IN WEST
LONDON, Dec. 20.—The Germans
began an active offenoivo in the
Ypres district where they recently
received very large reinforcements
They made no gains despite fre
quent assaults. They are now keep
ing up an active artillery bombard
ment.
LONDON, Dec. 20.—German avi
ators bombarded Poperlnghe to
day.
LONDON, Doc. 20.—British mo
nitors are shelling Ostende.
LONDON, Dec. 20.—The Briitsh
have full information of the most
powerful German concentration of
forces over yet has occurred in Bel
glum. This concentration has been
going on since the Germans first be
gan removing troops from the east
and from the Balkans. They have
been quartered back of the Teuton
front and been inactive now for
several weeks, despite their number
being almost daily extensively in
creased.
The view here held is that this
concentration forecasts the attempt
to invade Great Britain by way ot
the Scheldt for which the German
strategists are known to have been
planning for some time.
This daring move will be at
tempted, it is believed, in order to
force a conclusion to the war.
Paris, Dec. 20. — The most im
portant phase of the western situa
tion is the sudden developments
near Ypres, although so far the
German offensive has been easily
held in check. Snow covers tho

CARRANZA GRANTS AMNESTY
TO ALL FORMER OPPONENTS
EL PASO, Doc. 20.—The Villa
tists have now thrown up the
sponge and left Carranza and his
party in supreme control. Carranza
has granted a general amnesty to
his late opponents but it is very
doubtful that Villa has any inten
tion of taking advantage of this de
claration.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 20.—Beyond
some Yaqui dissatisfaction reported
as causing some disturbances in
Sonora state, Mexico except in Mo
rellos, is completely peaceful. The
projected revolt of Felix Diaz, it is
believed, will not materialize. Car
ranza has now supreme control ol
the situation and conditions here
are gradually reaching normal.
There is enormous satisfaction at
the end of the civil war.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 20.—
The State Department has granted
Villa the right of political asylum
in the United States should he en
deavor to enter. It was held to be
necessary to obtain a ruling on this
point as there seemed to be some
opinion that Villa should be denied
entry.
CHIHUAHUA, Dec. 20.—In the
amnesty agreement with the Villa
leaders, it is stated that Carranza
agreed to make no discrimination
and to treat all alike. The announce
ment that an agreement had been
reached was the occasion of a gen
eral celebration here, and the town
is still festivating in honor of the
peace.

ADVISES COMPULSORY
SERVICE AS LOGICAL
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 20.—
Charles Edward Russel, the well
known publicist and socialist, says
that the only logical preparedness
plan Is the compulsory military ser
vice way for all adult citizens of the
United States. Russell’s opinion is
that they are beating about the
bush when suggesting modilied
forms of militarism, when it is in
tended that militarism should be
adopted and any other form short
of full compulsory military service
is therefore only an inefficient at
tempt to avoid the public’s being
aware wliat is really wanted.

QUARTER MILLION MEN
LONDON, Dec. 20.— It is offioi
a .v stale! that the Dominion ot
Canada has furnished recruits to
the number of a quarter of a mil
lion men and that more are pro
mised.

ment is paid the Canadians as the
ablest and most efficient forces in
the field.
The country has ceased talking
conscription owing to the success
has followed Lord Derby's systems
tic plans. It is pointed out that the
plan is however little short of a mo
dified conscript Mon.
The reported German invasion to
day has markedly stimulated re

BIG INVASION PROJECT
DISCUSSED BY PAPERS
LONDON, Dec. 20.—The projected
invasion of England is now the to
pic of the last evening papers. The
determination of Germany to under
take such a risky move is attributed
to the fact that they beleive it poss
ible of success and conclude that it
will if successfull strike the vital
blow of the war.
The people appear to be incredul
ous of that possibility, but as the
authorities are giving out absolutely
no naval news, the public does not
know what measures have been
taken to prevent the Invasion
On the other hand the beginning
of the Ypres offensive leads the
Mail to believe that no invasion is
planned but that a terrific lungs
v ill be made in order to reach
Calais.

NEUTRALISTS WIN IN
THE GREEK ELECTIONS
. .ATHENS, Dec. 20.—The Gounaria
party favoring neutrality won out a
clear majority in the recent elec
tions. Venizeolos refused to parti
cipate, declaring that the elections
were illegal.
Serious political friction is de
veloping within Greece between the
King and the constitutionalists led
by Venizelos, who claim that the
King is exceeding his power.
LONDON, Dec. 20.—The Egyptian
drive is doubted. It Is held here
that it will never materialize.
LONDON, Dec. 20.—Although
Kitchener has gone on record as
favoring the Dardanelles operations
being maintained, the British have
abandoned the Suvla Bay positions
in the Ansae region. Suvla Burnu
is about the center of the Peninsula
jutting out into the Aegean in a
sharp peak which has easily been
held by the Allied fleet. Its strate
gic value has always been criticized
for It has delayed the Allied forces
by confronting the Turks in the
widest and most difficult section or
Gallipoli.
LONDON, Dec. 20.—Conflicting
reports are heard as to tho ulti

CONGRESSMAN TAVENNER
MAKES EFFECTIVE REPLY
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 20.—
Resenting with indignation the
charge of Congressman Tavenner
that the Navy League was practical
ly supported if not dominated by
munition manufacturers who pro
fited by the agitation, Colonel
Tomson challenged Tavenner to
name one single munition manufac
turer who was even indirectly in
terested in the League.
This elicited from the Congress
man a prompt and apparently ovei
whelming retort to the effect that
the chief officers were some of
them munition makers while most
of them were contributors to the
Navy League. Coming down to
specific details to call the bluff of
the President of the League, Colone’
Tomson, Tavenner declared that
Judge Gary contributed one thou
sand dollars to the League’s funds
and he was a notorious profiteer in
the munitions industry; J. P. Mor
gan was Treasurer of the League
and Morgan minted coin literally
from munitions; Baker another pro
lific holder of “war babies” as mu
nition stocks are known on Wall
Street is a thousand dollar contri
butor to the support of the Navy
League; Bacon another munitions
manufacturer is a director of the
League, while Friske who is engag
ed almost wholly at the present
time in deriving his profits from
munitions of war, was one of the
League’s Vice President’s Tavenner
gets sarcastic near the close of his
retort to Colonel Tomson’s chall
enge.

BRiTISH PARCEL POST SEIZURE
SUBJECT OF PROTEST
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Dec. 20.—
The British parcel post interference
is being protested by the United
States.
LONDON, Dec. 20.—The sending
of contraband packages through to
Germany is the subject now discus
sed in the press. The mail has been
the recognized means for shipment
in parcels of large quantities of rub
ber of which Germany stands in
very great need. It Is admitted
that interfering with mail opens up
a new question, but parcel post can
not be treated in the same way as
correspondence.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Deo. 20.
President Wilson has named Janu

WASHINGTON, D. C„ Dec. 20.—
A memorandum submitted by the
Treasurer Department relative to
the restrictions on American trade
with belligerents, declares that the
Scandinavian imports so increased
since the war during the past thir
teen months as practically to ba
lance the loss of the German trade.
The conclusions drawn from the
memorandum are that German sup
plies are drawn through Scandina
vian countries instead of througn
German ports directly on account ot
the Allied interference.
BERLIN, Dec. 20.—Protests are
being made at the ctoppage of the
