Tliere are six points on the bat tlefront where artillery engagements Jiave taken place, and the Belgian ar tillery Is described as active in Flan ders. Advances near St. Georges also are asserted. The text of the communi cation follows: "In Belgium. In spite of the condi tion of the ground and the difficulties which result, our infantry made prog ress in the sand dunes in front of Nieu. port.

WAR NOT FOUGHT ON PLAN I Continued From First Pt.) levy for the increase in the army last year, and who, as commander of that army, hastily concentrated in the first 10 days of mobilization, broke up the French invasion of Southern Alsace and drove the invaders back upon Bclfort. As a general staff officer, as Prus sian Minister of War. as army in spector and prospective commander. General von llerlngen has been in close touch with the modern theory of war. but he admits that all did not come out as the experts bad expected. Krearfc System Changed. Take the laying out of trenches, for sample." he said. "The first principle to be observed In laying out trenches, according to our ideas before the war, ' ris to secure as extended a Held of fire as possible, so as to force an attack ing enemy to advance a long distance under the fire of the defenders. Now we have learned that the first essen tial is to have them concealed and pro tected from artillery lire, even if the lire does not extend more than 50 yards before the trenches. That . Is enough with modern weapons to stop any at tack. "In several places along the front our men anJ the French occupy opposite slopes of the same rldse with the crest of the riJe between them, so that neither side can see the other. In the old days it would have been thought that the side seizin? the crest could drive out the others, but now neither aide dares chow a head above the crest. t'olamas ow Avoid Cities. "Another lesson we have learned la in resurd to the occupation of cities In advance. We now march our columns around the city Instead of through it, fending only ltrht reconnoiterliiir par ties into It until we have established that it is clear of the enemy. "Hand grenades, we dud, are the best wrapons for street and house-to-house lighting. A couple of hand grenades thrown into a house occupied by the enemy will clear it more quickly than anything else and with far lets loss of life than by the use of the bayonet. Our men all carry grenades now. In trenches wc are using with remarkable effect not only hand arenades'but large mines containing a great quantity of explosive and thrown by a special type of sun. These explode with tremen dous effect, killing or utterly demor alizing everyone iit the opposite trenches." Mlae Beasbardrd Una t.rraadra. In the course of the correspondent's atay at headquarters a report was brought to the General ono day -that the French had endeavored to push forward a large mine from thtiir trenches into the German ' trenches, at this point only a few yards distant. The Germans opened a bombardment on it with their hand : renades the mo ment It uppeareU above the breast works and sm-eeeded in exploding it before it reached the danger aone for them. - - The correspondent mw several e.f these hand grenades. They are about the size of a baseball and are bound to short wooden paddles, making them handy to throw. Usually they are provided with fuses which the user lights from a match or a cigar. A supply of these is kept in readiness in every trench. When patrols go out between the lines each man usually carries two In his belt, and storming parties sent to take a village or town equip themselves liberally with these weapons. General von Heeringen was asked whether the first month's fighting had settled in any way the question of the superiority of dense or extended lines of attack, English and French reports in the early days of the war having described the German soldiers as charging; in almost solid formation and ificurrine- heavv loss. The General in timated that there was a great deal of legend in the story and that in order to get the men forward under heavy fire it was necessary to advance in such successive rushes rather than in dense lines, owing to the effect of the modern infantry weapons. British Soldiers Toughest. Which of the allies has the best trooiMr asked one of his hearers. General von Heeringen had only praise for both British and French. The French were stiff, hard fighters. but he seemed, like most officers at the front, to think that the British sol diers were the toughest opponents. The correspondent has found German otll cers of all arms united in this opinion of the excellence of the British per sound and material. The German in lantrvman has a wholesome apprecia tlon of the way in which the Tommies stick to their trenches to the last. The German artilleryman praises the work of the British guns. The aviators who have had to do with both French and British flyers say that the Britons are more enterprising than tneir rrenca colleagues and that the British biplane is superior in many pointa to all other aircraft. The clothinr and equipment of the English officers are considered almost ideal. Evidence or tnia is given dj i number of German officers encountered wearing British greatcoats, even staff officers of higher grades considering themselves lucky when they can put their shoulder-straps and buttons on the brown overcoat of an English pri vate. Comparisons of Bravery Avoided. Deeds of bravery in this war were too common, the standard of courage among the supposed over-civilised races of Europe too high, the General De lieved, to draw any comparisons or to select any special exploit as the Drav est. What had caught his fancy most, however, was the action of the untried regiments of young troops thrown into the fighting in Flanders and getting their baDtism of fire in what is con ceded to be the most vicious fighting of the war, who went in singing "Deutschland. Uber Alles" and bore their part with the enthusiasm of youngsters and the steadiness, under heavv losses, of seasoned veterans. Life at headquarters is one of steady work, notwithstanding the comparative Inaction of the army for several weeks. The officers of the staff and General von Herringen has a large official fam ilv. of Derhaos 50 officers mess togeth er in two larsre connecting rooms of the interesting old French building used as headquarters. The telephone central, connecting the General with the Emperor or field headauarters with Berlin, with the headquarters of the other armies and with his own subordinates, down to the simplest non-commissioned officer commanding a squad in the foremost trenches, is in an adjoining room, but durinsr the correspondent's stay at headauarters the commanding General was almost never Interrupted at table by reports or communications, ine business of running an army has been so systematized that the commander may take his meals undisturbed by military routine. Table Luxury Discouraged. The food Is good and simple, soldierly to almost the same degree as that of most of the men in the trenches. "His excellency," said one of the staff, "does not encourage table luxury. Food is supplied by the townspeople on requisition and he wishes to make the burden to them as light as possi ble." "For a time." he added smilingly, "we had trouble in getting even the table wine required, the stock having ap parently run out, but we later found supplies where do you think? In sol diers' graves. A French shell which fell into one or these revealed a little trick of the Inhabitants to bury such supplies, round up a mound of earth above them and set up a wooden cross at the head of the supposed grave."

GOOD IMPRESSION MADE American Action In Certifying Car goes Favorably Received Wash ington Asks for Co-operation of Snippers. LONDON', Jan. 6. Although the For eign Office regards with high favor the American Government's plan of certifying cargoes loaded under the di rection of officials of the Treasury De partment and destined for European ports, it was said today that England cannot accept sucn certification as an absolute guaranty of the nature of the cargo in case any cause for suspicion arises after a vessel leaves America. In other words, the right of search cannot be waived, because of the pos sibility of shifting cargoes at sea and of the Impossibility or having in Treasury officer who issues the certif icate accompany the ship to her desti nation to guard against smugglers who may carry copper or other con traband on small ships to be trans ferred at sea. Right Held Over Smugglers. The waiving of the right to search shiDs bearing contraband cargoes, in the opinion of several prominent Brit ish officials, would be an invitation for smugglers to ply their trade, whereas the retention of the rlgnt wouia tena tn Drevent dishonesty. This position is precisely .tne same an that taKen ov me jureiKu vntw concerning the certification of mani fests of American cargoes by British fTnnsiuis at American ports. A decidedly fa-orable impression has been produced here by the American certification plan. British officials re gard it as a- further manifestation of the desire of the American Government to hasten a satisfactory settlement oi the differences concerning tne aeiay and seizure of American cargoes. British Public Not Informed. Owlnir to the failure of the London newspapers to discuss the preliminary negotiations between Ambassador Page and Foreitrn Secretary Grey, extending over several weeks oeiore tne American note was presented, the English pub lic was not well advised concerning mo differences which grew up. WASHINGTON. Jan. 5. The notice tn shinnera drawn by the State. Treas ury and Commerce departments, after belnsr disDatched to Ambassador Page, was being sent throughout the country today. "The Government," says tne notice, looks tvith confidence for co-opera tion from the American business public to prevent such action on the part of shippers as adds unnecessarily to the difficulties of business at this time. Whenever shippers desire such aid in carrvinsr on their foreign business, in Treasury Department will furnish upon application to the customs collector at any port, an officer to supervise the loading of cargoes to cenny to mo completeness and accuracy oi tne man ifest. As a further precaution, it Is suggested that the shippers accom pany the ship's manifest with an affi davit saving that the articles shipped pr enrreetlv shown by the manifest and that the packages contain noin Inn- firmt that which Is shown there.'

UNION MEN MUST PAY CContlnued From First Page.) bidden combination had been proved. "It requires more than blindness of justice," said Justice Holmes, "not to see that the many branches of the United Hatters and the Federation of Labor, in pursuance of a plan, emanat ing from headquarters, made use of such lists (unfair dealers) and of the primary and secondary boycott in their efforts to subdue the plaintiff to thefr demands. The union label was used and a strike of the plaintiffs employes was ordered and carried out to the same end, and the purpose to break up the plaintiffs commerce affected by the quality of, the acts." Dues-Paid Members Liable. The controversy, he added, narrowed down to the responsibility of the de fendants for what was done by the labor organisations. The defendants were laboring men, as a rule, not em ployed by Loewe & Co., but living In nearby towns, and a few were National officers of the Hatters' Union. On the question of responsibility, the justice said: "The court, in substance, instructed the jury that if these members paid their dues and continued to delegate authority to their officers unlawfully to Interfere with the plaintiffs inter state commerce in such circumstances that they knew or ought to have known and such officers were warranted in the belief that they were acting in the matters within their delegated author ity, then such members were jointly liable and no others. It seems to us that this instruction vflciently guard BH TAIN GUARD ed the defendants' rights and that the defendants got all that they were en titled to ask in not being held charge able with knowledge as matter of law. Boycott Generally Understood. "It Is a tax on credulity to ask any one to believe that members of labor unions at that time did not know that the primary and secondary boycott and the use of the 'We don't patronize' or Unfair" list were means expected to be used In the effort to unionize shops. Possibly they were thought to be law-fuL" In support of the conclusion that theH members knew of the use of these means to unionize shops, the jus tice referred t the Hatters' Union by law for strike and union label agita tion funds, and cited the provision in the American Federation of Labor con stitution for prosecution of "what it called legal boycotts." "If the words of the documents on their face and without explanation did not authorize what was done, he con tinued. "the evidence of what was don publicly and habitually showed their meaning and how they . were Inter nreted. The jury could not but find that by the usage of the unions the acts complained of were authorized and authorized without regard to tnetr in terference with commerce among tn states." . The damages, which under the law ware three-fold the injury suffered. were approved over the objection that some of them accrued since me action began.

An unofficial re port from Vienna says tnat Austria has had to witnstana very strong at tacks from the Russians on these heights.

A remarkable story of how a German army corps In its retreat from the Marne escaped from the Gond Marshes is told by Ed ward Mennell, . of Croydon, who haa been visiting the war area in connec tion with a scheme organized by the Society of Friends for Alleviating Dis tress. The Gond Marshes were consid ered to be impassable by those who did not know them. The French accordingly drove a German army corps into the marshes, but, with the exception of a few men and heavy guns, the Germans disap peared in one night, much to the astonishment of the French. An ex amination revealed that small piles of slates had been placed at intervals In the marshes, and so that they should be seen by night they were covered with phosphorescent paint. It was then recalled by the Prefect of Police that five months previously some Germans obtained permission to survey the marshes for a peat-cutting venture. About a week before the war they left word that they would sub mit their report to their principals in Berlin, and would return shortly. NORTHWEST PIONEER DIES A. G.
