Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the Pritlah AmbaMdor. called at th Slate IVpartment today for tb flrvt time since the American note of protest on shipping was sent to Great Hrltaln. He conferred with Counsellor Robert Lannlng. Though he bad received no Instruc tions as yet concerning the answer which is to be made to the American note, the nrillsh Ambasiador Indicated that It would be of a most friendly character. It Is understood that Sir Cecil regards the American note as moderate In tone, compared to the usually peremptory and mandatory tenor of notes of this kind passing be tween neutrals and belligerents In times of war. ON SHIPBUYI Bill WASHINGTON. Jan. 4 President Wilson made it plain today tha't the government ship purchase bill must be enacted. He said he was confident It would succeed but Indicated he would call an extra session of conKress unless the bill wns enacted during the present session. Callers were told by the president that more shipping fa cilities were Imperative. President Wilson also Indicated that the speech he is to deliver in Indian apolis, Friday night, will be the open ing gun for the Democratic campaign for 1916. He left the Impression that It will be of a decided political nature and that he would answer attacks on his admlnsitration. Dispatches for several days bate Indicated that the decisive battle on the eastern front has been developing In the rodon of Cracow. Military experts of Petrograd. Perlln and London have explained th.it the chief pur pose of the German advance on Wirw was to forcv the Russians to let up In their campaign In Gallcia and Hungary. Germany Is not so much In dancer from a direct Invasion from Poland as It Is from a rollupa of the Auxtrtan defense and a Russlon advance from Gallcia. So Kleld Marxhel von Hlndvnburg has endeavored to force the ciar's forces to come northward to defend their own lands and give Austria breathing spell. It Is the same strat egy as was employed by General Joffre when he forced tho battle line away from Paris and Into southern Relglum by constantly attacking the German right flank In that fold. Rut apparently the Russians have not been turned from their purpose. They have n-tr-ated In centra! Poland given up I.od. Sklernlewlce, Ixwtci and Plotrkow and drawn back 'within thirty miles of Warsaw but they are still maintaining a force at the southern end cf the battlefield that Is able to take the offensive against tho combined German- Austrian armies and to keep a hold In Huncnry. They are now reported to be sending new masses against Cracow. This great battlefield Is shown on the map. At A there appears to be a gap between tho northern and southern Russian armies, and here, so Petrograd dispatches say, German cavalry In strong force Is trying to prerent the Russians from completing a line that will run along tho rilica river. At B the Germans and Austrlans have launched an attack along the NJda river, trying to get to Klelce. but have been driven back after once crossing that stream. At C Is the front of the German-Austrian advance, which came from West Cracow and the Carpathians and drove the Russians back almost to the railroad running from Leraberg to Cracow through Tarnow. Now the Russians again are at tacking and report that they have met with success In the entrances to the Dukla and Lupkow. D shows where the Przemysl garrison attempted to break out and form a Junction w ith the Austrlans who had come through the Carpathians to relieve It. Both tho imrrison and the relieving force have been defeated, according to Petrograd accounts. In the district shown at E the Russians have gained a strong foothold In the southern foothills of the Carpathians, from which they can conduct an advance on Hudapest in case they now defeat the Germans and Austrians around Cracow. leaders have been Invited. It Is generally etpected that an ef fort wilt be made to balane the vari ous appropriations In conformity with a general policy for (he promotion of the National dcf,-ne, plana for which probably will he submitted to President Wilson for final aiproaI. The varl ous bills for the Ini rease In (lie Reg ular Army will be one of the prlucl pal topics for dlscuitslon. While this conference was being pl.inn.-d the House military committee today heard Representative Gardner. of Massachusetts, advocate his pro posal for commission of the m.-n to Investigate tho military preparedness of the country and the naal aiibcoin mlltie wound up Its work on th ' nuxal approprUtlon bill, which Is to be sub uiltted to the full committee Wednes day.

PETROGRAD Jan. 6. The people of the Russian capital today entered upon their annual Christmas celebra tion under conditions strangely new to those of the present generation. While the spirit of festivity is not entirely absent, it has been lessened to a not iceable extent by the conditions of war. The customary feasting and public fes tivities are being omitted almost en tirely, while the religious features of the observance are more pronounced than heretofore. In Petrograd, and throughout the empire, there will be scarcely a family reunion during the holidays that will not be saddened by the absence of one or more members at the front, and many of whom are destined never to return. Another feature that Ives a marked distinction to the holiday, especially among the masses Is the fact that it is the first Christmas In Russian without vodka.

C, Jan. 6. The North Carolina legislature met today and or ganized for its biennial session of six ty days. The lawmakers are confront ed by a mass of routine business that is calculated to keep them pretty busy through the session. Some new meas ures of importance are on the agenda, but the general belief prevails that the leaders will steer clear 6f what may be termed radical legislation. PARIS. Jan. 5. The official com munication Issued by the French war office tonight Included the following: "Grand Duke Nicholas has address ed to General Joffre the following tele- gram: " 'I hasten to inform you of the joy ful news that the army of Caucasus, notwithstanding that its forces have been reduced to a minimum, with a view not to weaken the army In the principal theater of the war, has won two decisive victories on December 21 and 22 (January 3 and 4, modern calendar) against Turkish forces su perior In number, at Ardahan. against the First Corps and at Sari Kamysh against the Ninth and Tenth Turkish Corps. '"The entire Ninth Corps has capl tulated; the Tenth Corps Is making every effort to withdraw, but is be ing pursued by our troops.' " Crushing Defeat Caused By Failure of Attempted Ruse Great Battle Is of Ten Days Duration, TO TEACH NATIONAL HYMNS DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 31. Dr. Charles E. Chadsey, superintendent of the public schools of Detroit, is of th belief that not more than one person in 10.000 knows all the Btanzas of the "Star-Spangled Banner" and "Amer ica." In consequence of this belief he has directed that a part of every school day during the month be de voted by the school pupils to learning the words of two national hymns.

It Is official ly announced that the Russian troopB have gained a decisive victory at Sari Kamysh. The entire Ninth Army Corps of the Turks was captured. The following report received from the Russhn head quarters in the Cau casus was made public tonight: "Last night our troops won a com plete victory over the Turks at Sari Kamysh. We have beaten two Turk ish Army Corps and made the entire Ninth Turkish Army Corps, Including its commander and three division com manders, prisoners. "Small bodies of Turkish troops, which succeeded In escaping, were rigorously pursued and destroyed. "We continue pursuit of the Tenth Corps of the Turkish forces which are In full retreat. Regarding the situalion in Poland, general hjadquarters has issued the following official communication: Un the left bank of the Vistula on January 4 rifle and arlillerv fire con-1 tlnued. Roundabout and South of Iior- Jlmow there have been separate engagements." PETROGRAD, Jan. 6. That the tenth corps of tho Turkish army has been almost annihilated by the Tins slan Caucasus force, which yesterday reported the capture of the ninth and the defeat of the 11th corps, Is assert ed in the official statement of the gen eral staff of the Czar's troops defend ing the southeastern part of the em pire. , The official statement follows "At the end of November the bulk of the third Turkish army was sent to the region east of Erzerum, preced ed by two army corpB, besides a re serve corps near Hassan Kalah. "In conformity with the plan of En vey Pasha, the third army was to pro ceed a3 follows: "The ninth and tenth army corps were to advance In the direction of Oltl and form the offensive wing, whereas the 11th corps had orders to hold Its powerfully-organized position and to attract through a strategic demonstra tion the weight of our troops. In cas the Russian troops had taken up the offensive energetically, the 11th corps had been ordered to fall back on the fortress of Erzerum, carrying along with it the Russian forces." St .
