- tonight from the headquarters of the
Army of Jne Caucasus:
"In the direction of "Van, on Decem

The official communication Issued to
day by the Russian general headquar-
ters says:

No definite news was received today
from the battle raging near Warsaw
' as to how It is going. Reports, how
; ever, describe it as the most bitter yet
fought in Poland.

The Russian forces are still holding at

Sochacst-Tv Objective Point.
J Sochaczew continues to be the Ger-
man objective in the attempt to reach
; Warsaw.' The Russian forces on the
right bank of the Bzura are heavily en-
trenched. Their artillery is so placed
y that it commands the river to its junc
' tion with the Vistula, 18 miles north.
'. Southward the Russian line extends to
. Opoczno, 25 miles east of Piotrkow,
' which recently was evacuated, and 45
, miles east of Sczerczow, where the Rus--'
eians first opposed the German extreme
right.
It is pointed out that the Russians
. thus have assumed positions on their
third line of defense. The evacuation
of Lodz, which lies to the west of this
. line, was thus in logical sequence to
,- this movement, and, according to the
general opinion here, had no bearing
- on the attack on Warsaw.
The Russians for the present appar-
ently are attempting nothing more than
; to retard the enemy and to defeat at
: tempts at flanking movements.
The following official statement was
issued here late tonight:
"The head of the general staff says
that owing to the mal
widely printed in the newspapers
during the past few days concerning
the condition and strategic positions of
tur armies, he thinks it iitting to
'warn the Russian public against the
partiality and inaccuracy of these re
ports. "The fact that our armies adopted a
narrower front was the outcome of a
. decision arrived at after full and free
consideration by the military authority.
Keuson for Plan Obvious.
"The reason for this plan is obvious,
, In view of the concentration in' front
; of our army of considerable German
forces.
"Moreover, this plan offers other
advantages concerning which, un
happily, we cannot give details for
the present for military reasons"
we have made slight progress in the
Forest des Chavaliers, to the northeast
or the Fort of Coyon."

15. It says: ,
"During the period from December 7

enemy again attacked our positions and
succeeded, with heavy sacrifices, in re

"On the 15th a new German attack
failed and our connection is assured
with our troops around Belfort, who
also have made progress.
"Thann, which hitherto had been
spared, has been bombarded.
"On the 13th our aviators succeeded
in dropping bombs on the railway sta

"In short, at many points we have
made attacks which have succeeded.
Nowhere have we abandoned what we
have gained. -Everywhere the enemy
has taken the defensive, which has
given our troops confidence of their superiority."

'On the 7th. Vermeiles as well as
the village of Rutolre fell into our

time to fire them. In the streets we
found a number of bodies and a larere

NEW YORK, Dec 21. Plans of the
committee recently organized by Amer
ican physicians and surgeons to relieve
a reported shortage of medical supplies
setback
because of the possibility that such
supplies may be considered contraband
of war by the belligerent nations. It
was announced tonight.
Both the allies and the Germans
have agreed to give free passage into
Belgium of all food and clothing des
tined to relieve non-combatants, but
whether they will consider medical
supplies in the same category is a ques-
tion which is causing some anxiety to
the executive committee of the physi
cians' organization.
The committee cabled to Herbert C.
Hoover, chairman In London of the
American commission for relief in Bel
glum, for information on this point.
If the necessary diplomatic -arrangements
can be made, it was announced,
the physicians will arrange for the
shipment of special 50-pound boxes
containing the supplies most useful for
the ordinary ailments of the civilian
population.
The third. ship to sail from the Pa
cific Coast under supervision of the
relief commission, it was announced,
will be the Cranley. A cable from the
London commission today said the
Cranley had Just been chartered to
carry 6800 tons of cargo and had start
ed from Hongkong. Her first port of
call will be Tacoma, whence she will
go to Seattle, then to Portland and San
Francisco and. finally, San Pedro. CaL
She will pick up some of the cargo
which has been donated by the Wash

GLOUCESTER. Mass., Dec. 21. A
new type of projectile which would
scatter a white-hot mixture of molten
steel over the object of attack and at
the same time permeate the atmosphere
with a deadly gas which would make
it impossible for fire-fighters to ap
proach has been invented by John Hays
Hammond, Jr., according to a state
ment made by the inventor tonight.
The new missile may soon appear in
the European war, as some of the
belligerent nations are now negotiating
for its purchase, he said. The United
States Government at present is con
ducting experiments with the new
projectile at Sandy Hook, he, added.
The. missile is designed for use in
siege guns as an aid in destroying:
towns and dirigible balloons.
Mr. Hammond explained that -th
projectile carries an aluminothermic
mixture, which, five seconds after the
projectile is discharged, turns the steel
inside to a white-hot mixture at a tem
perature of 5400 degrees Fahrenheit:
When the projectile hits the target,
the inventor said, it explodes, its white-
hot contents setting fire to whatever
inflammable material it strikes. To
avoid the possibility of anyone in the
locality quencning the flames. Mr.
Hammond said, he had equipped the
projectile with a chamber filled with
hydro-cyanic acid, the fumes of which
are deadly.

wants to defeat George E. . Hampton,
recently nominated to be Collector of
Internal Revenue. Senator Martine had
recommended another man for this of
fice, and as his colleague. Senator
Hughes, had been allowed to' name the
other internal revenue collector in New
Jersey, and had agreed to concede the
other appointment to Senator Martine,
the latter feels that he has just grounds
for a grouch. The President did not
consult Senator Martine before nom
inating Hampton. Furthermore, it is
intimated that Hampton was selected
by Secretary McAdoo. notwithstanding
McAdoo is a New Yorker.
Senator Reed, of Missouri, Is also
after the scalp of one of the President's
nominees. Senator Reed, lives in Kan
sas City, and under an unwritten rule
that has been observed by Presidents
for many years past, was entitled to
name the postmaster in his home city.
Instead of consulting Senator Reed,
the President consulted Postmaster
General Burleson, and on the tatter's
advice nominated a man who has held
a subordinate position in the Kansas
City postofflce for many years. This
appointment was a direct slap at Sen
ator Reed, and gives him the same
ground for objection that was raised
in New York by Senator O'Gorman.
Meddling la Kxtenatve.
Further evidence of the meddling of
Secretary McAdoo in New York patron
age is disclosed by the inability of
Representative Fitzgerald, of New
York City, to secure the appointment
of John M. Gray, as United States Mar
shal for the eastern district of New
York..
Fitzgerald, more than any other man
In Congress, has striven to hold down
appropriations and save the Adminis
tration from the charge of being ex
travagant. Ha has performed n-s vaU i
uable service for the Administra
tion as any man in Congress. But Sec
retary McAdoo doesn't train with Fitz
gerald, and has entered protest against
me appointment of -Gray, with the re-
suit that a Republican still holds the
Marshalship. Representative Fitzger
ald has many friends In the Senate and
if the President undertakes to nomi
nate a McAdoo man for the eastern
Marshalship he is likely to have fur
ther trouble on his hands
New York Democrats are much put
out aii me President because he has
consulted his son-in-law quite freely
about the distribution of patronage in
New York, and has generally ignored
the Democrats In Congress from that
state. Many recommendations madn bv
these Democrats have been objected to
oy aiCAaoo, ana. In consequence, a trreat
many Federcil offices in New York are
still rilled by Republicans, while Demo
crats with strong political backing are
allowed to cool their heels and await
tne residential pleasure.
These are only a few of the patron
age troubles that are brewing, or have
developed since the election. Others
have yet to come to the surface. But
if the President continues to Ignore the
men who have a constitutional right to
be heard regarding important Federal
appointments in their states, he will
quickly develop an Insurgency in the
Senate that will rise to embarrass him
in more ways than one and on more
occasions than one. Secretary McAdoo.
