letter That Caused Disfavor Written
. in November at Coburjr.
OMAH.X. Jan. 19. The letter of Vice-
Consul John L. Outright to which the
Nottingham authorities took exception
was printed in the Omaha World'
Herald December 13. 1914. It was
wr.iten at Coburg, Germany, where
Outright was then vice-consul, and
bears data of November 20.
"I am sorry to see the anti-German
attitude of the American papers. To
me there never was a better example
of the way the American people love
to be duped than the way they are al
lowing the French and British reports
te nil their publications to the detri
ment of the professed American policy
of giving each side to a controversy
fair play and of sympathizing with the
party that is down.
"Just why American papers axe so
deud against Germany Is hard to un
derstand. It is true she declared war,
but she did so only with a confident
feeling of justification in the French
invasion on the south and the unex-
cusrd Russian mobilization on the
north. They say that the circum
stances were the same as if Kngland
should mobilize quietly along the
Canadian border without excuse, or
Mexico, with possible envious eyes on
Texas, which waa once hers, just as
Alsace Lorraine was for a short period
French, should bubble over the Rio
Grande. Yet the allies, they figure.
with the apparent motive of meeting
the approval of the world, were care
ful to see that it was Germany and
not they who made the declaration, al
though they were well on in their
preparation for war long before the
Kaiser Issued the mobilization orders.
I am firmly of the opinion that Ger
many did not want this war. There is
not a German in Coburg, and I venture
to say in the whole empire, that does
jiot detest the very thought of the war.
She is simply defending her own bor
ders, she says, and disclaims any in
tention whatever of keeping a particle
of the conauered territory. Yet, if we
main can place any credence in the
German reports here, the French pa
pers long ago appeared with maps of
the way Germany was to be divided
among the allies.
"The invasion of Belgian soil that
has caused such furore at home was
merely a necessary war measure, which
t.ie Germans verily believe would have
been taken by the French and with
.far less trouble had she not done so
first. If I mav judge from what little
1 have seen of the German nation, of
the spirit of the dispassionate self
sacrifices of every person from Kaiser
to peasant, and of that truly wonder
ful system of mobilization. 1 make so
bold as to predict that within a year's
time the allies will have found the
war lord's army so replete with ef
ficiency and so devoid of the human
element of fallibility as to be irre
sistible, and that within that time they
will be well satisfied to accept the
terms of Germany, whatever they be,
and keep the peace for many years tj
come."
Discussing the invasion of Belgium,
llr. Outright says:
"Germany feels she is justified in
that her existence depends on her su
ce.ss and that her passing through Bel
gium was done in the spirit of neces
sity of self-defense. The Americans
reading of France and England's dis
creet sympathy with po' 11 1' Belgium
seem to believe that Germany, not be
ing satisfied with some five or six
world powers with which to do battle.
deliberately drew Belgium into the
fight. Those who have come into con
tact with the peaceful fair-mindedness
of the Germans over here at least cred
it them with having reasonable ground
for their action. Like every true Amer
ican. X used to have the idea that one
military power of a nation so strong
as that of Germany must have aggres
sive motives of a conquest behind it,
but 1 have been converted to the idea
that a nation surrounded with territory
that is no more friendly than Ger
many's neighbors have proved them-1
selves to be can take no other course
than to maintain the world's greatest
war machine."
Speaking of the preparedness of
Germany for the war. he said:
"At a minute's notice every one of
the millions of available men in Ger
many was converted Into an efficient,
well-equipped soldier, marched to a
train already prepared and under or
ders of the government and shipped

army of millions of such men were
streaming along the border of the na

a soldier I cannot, of course, talk on
the political aspects of the causes of
the war, but can apeak from a military
standpoint
"it was forced upon us by the Rus

we could do nothing but arm our

J WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. J. L. Cut-
H right who was Vice-Consul at Not-
1 tingham. sailed from England Janu
J ary 1 for the United States, having
relinquished his office of his own voli-
tion and upon the insistence of his
I family, according to State Department
sfficials. The department has had no
phase of the campaign Is the result of
an attempt on the part of the French
and British to force th'eir way north
to separate us from the sea and en
velop oar right flank and rear, relieve
Antwerp and oblige us to retire from
Belgium.
Germane Not Outflanked.
"Their plan was the failure, our
counter stroke the success, of the
operations in Flanders. They have no
outflanked us and we are still there.'
What is your view of the general
offensive of the allien and Kitchener
new army?" he was asked.
'The offensive, replied the German
chief of staff, "was to begin, according
to General Joffre'a order, on the day of
December 17. So far we hive no rea
son to be dissatisfied with its results.
We not only have held our lines suc
cessfully, but have even gained ground
More of such offensive can only be wel
come to us.
As to Kitchener's army, the British
are good fighters and I have all respect
for them, but an army without neces
sary omcers and non-commissioned ofh
cers are scarcely an army, accordm
to present-day standards. They may
send them over to attack us, nut
think we are strong enough to beat
them and drive them back with bloody
heads.
Landtag in Belgium Welcomed.
They proposed landing in Belgium.
We are fully prepared for any attempt
lnthls direction; the sooner it comes
the better."
There was nothing boastful in Gen
eral Von Falkenhayn's manner. These
statements were made, instead, in
quiet tone and with confidence in th
preparedness of the German army and
Its ability to meet the situation.
'What effect upon the German con
duct of the war, "General von Falken
hayn was asked, "has the British block
ade and contraband policy exercised?"
'Practically none at all, he replied.
Of food we have enough. Have you ob
served any scarcity in Germany? We
may have to husband certain things
and be sparing with our wheat con
sumption, but our 'war bread' (referring
to the bread made from the prescribed
admixture of rye and potato meal to
wheat flour) is quite as tasty and nu
tritious as the regular wheat bread.
Food Sufficient for Germans.
"The problem of feeding the civil
populations of Belgium, Poland and the
occupied parts of France, particularly
uch cities as Lille or Lodz, presents
some difficulties, but for ourselves we
have enough.
As for the embargo on copper. Gen
eral Von Falkenhayn laughed, "we have
no copper underground, it is true, but
bove groundr we have more than
enough for air military needs. If our
regular supplies become exhausted we
eed only draw on the enormous quan
tities of manufactured copper already
n Germany. In our cables for trans
mitting electricity, for instance, we
ave a couple of years supply.
British interference with copper
shipments, it seems to me, is a heavy
blow for America, but for us it is noth
ng." (General Von Falkenhayn used
the vigorous South German expression
for "utter indifference. )
"How long, Your Kxcellency. do you
hink the war may last or can last?
Lord Kitcheners three years?"
It can last," said the German Chief
of Staff, picking out that particular
part of the question, "indefinitely for
us. I see nothing that can force us to
top fighting.
Human Slaterla! Not Lacking.
Food and materials? We are amply
supplied. Our strategic position is
good. Human material? Do you know
that the recruits of the 1916 class are
to be called to the colors? October 1
915. is the normal date. I was occu
pying myself with this question yes
terday. Does that look as if there Is
any lack of soldiers? We have more
troops in Berlin today than in peace
mes. They still need training, how
ever. No men are sent to the front
without adequate preparation.
Enthusiasm? iou have been at the
front and know that there is no slack
ening In the zeal of the men for their
task. No! We can go on Indefinitely
And if in this war, in which Kal
mucks. Kamchatkans. Tucomans. Sen
egal negroes, Indians and what not
have been brought in to maintain in the
white man s Europe the so-called bal
ance of power; if in this war to crush
a nation whose offense is that through
industry and hard work it has pros
pered and is prosperous, we should go
oown we snau go sown with honor,
fighting to the last ditch and the last
man."
Repetition to Be "Eliminated."
"And how far does Germany wish to
carry this war. Your Excellency? Until
the other side is completely crushed?"
"Until they are so defeated that the
possibility of a repetition of this un
provoked attack upon us Is completely
eliminated," he declared earnestly.
"What about the new clouds on the
horizon. Your Excellency Italy and
Roumania?"
"Those are questions you should ad
dress to the Imperial Chancellor or the
Foreign Secretary."
"But under certain contingencies
they might become questions of inter
est to the chief of the General Staff."
"Out of the question." -was the em
phatic reply. "1 cannot believe that
these two states, which have been
united to us for SO years by ties of
alliance, should suddenly array them
selves in the ranks of our enemies. I
consider that utterly impossible."

LONDON, Jan. IS Reverses that
mav mean the beginning of a third
German retreat in Poland are reported
in dispatches from Petrograd.
All the trenches which the Germans
succeeded in taking have been recap
tured by the Russians;' says one dis
patch, which, declares that the advance
on Warsaw of the German center has
been unsuccessful, owing to the heavy
artillery fire poured into its ranks.
While the German forces in Cen
tral Poland are continuing their ef
forts to advance west of Warsaw, be
tween Sochaczew and Bolimow, and
southwest of Warsaw, between Skier-
nlewlce and Grodzisk, their left
flank is endangered by. the advance
of Russian troops along the right bank
of the, Vistula west of Plock. and the
position of their right flank, accord
ing to Russian reports, is no longer
tenable.
, Advance or Retreat Use.
It is now the consensus of military
opinion in Petrograd that the German
army must either force its way through
the Russian line in the center, wnere
its present efforts are directed, or else
retreat to the Warta River, which
would mean falling back to within
about 25 miles of the German frontier.
The Russian movements, designed to
encircle the German flank will make
it impossible, military men say, for
the Germans to maintain their present
positions in the center.
The expected co-operation of Aus
trian forces from the southward has
failed to come. The attempted advance
of tbe Austrians east of Pietrkow, at
well as in the Tarnow region, on th
Dunajec. has been checked successfully
by effective work of the Russian ar
tillcry.
Along the immediate Warsaw front
there has been no material change in
positions recently. In the extreme
north, the Russians report a steady
advance toward feast Prussia and in
the extreme soulh they say they are
movins forward successfully in the
Carpathians. Their northern move
ment has been retarded near Loetzen
by the German fortifications and the
general Impenetrability of the country
In the Mazurian Lake region. In the
south, however, the Russians appar
ently have occupied all the Carpathian
passes and have crossed the borders of
Transylvania.
Wholesale Assault Unlikely.
So far as can be surmised by Rus
sian military critics, the Germans have
no intention of inaugurating in the
Immediate future a wholesale assault
which would precipitate the decisive
contest. Nevertheless, they continue
their aggressive movements by means
of scattering attacks along the whole
front Recently these attacks have
been diminishing in number and intensity.
The Russian army, reported to have
occupied the Carpathian passes, is now
said to have emerged into the plains
of Hungary, 30 miles from the border
of Bukowina.
The German official report today
said :
At Radzanowa, at Cjezhum and at
Slerpec (north of the Vistula River)
the Russians were repulsed with heavy
losses. Several hundred prisoners re
mained in our hands."
'In Poland and in Western Galicia,

tion today, "the fighting is confined

I following statement:.

"It is reported that the speech of
General Angeles has created a favor
able impression and that the people of
Monterey are especially gratified at the
iioerai position taken by him In con
nectlon with religious tolerance.
'The dispatch further said that it
was expected th it railroad communica
tion between Monterey and the United
States would be in effect soon via El
Paso, Tex., and Torreon. and that tele
graphio communication would be open
via tm Paso.
Oil Embargo Explained,
Eliseo Arredondo and Charles A.
Douglas, representatives of General
Carranaa, confered with Secretary
Bryan today explaining the decree with
reference to oil companies at Tamoico.
They denied that any embargo had
been placed on exportation, reiterating
that Carranza's action applied only to
new wells and developed projects. A
telegram waa given out by Arredondo
signed br Rafael Zubaran Canmanv.
Minister of the Interior under Carrania,
which read as follows:
"I am directed by the first chief to
inform you that it is not true that
Consul Canada made any representa
tions by order of tbe American Govern
ment in regard to the decree relative
to petroleum."
At the State Department the fallacy
waa contradicted. Secretary Bryan be
ing authority for the statement that
on complaint of American and foreign
oil companies in Tampico that tbey
were being prohibited from exnorting
on, a message waa sent to Consul Can
ada to discuss the question with Car

If the aircraft which made the at

munication over the old Central line
and a lack of confidence in the general
southern situation.
'It is now known that the provisional
President, with his party, went to Pa-
chuca. Two automobiles containing
several of Blanco's staff, including his
private secretary, with baggage and the
money or tne paymaster, were capturea
in the suburbs of the city. It is re
ported that the provisional President
took with him a large amount of sup
plies. General Palafox was quoted in
noon paper of January in as an-
ouncing the occupation of Orizaba by
the forces of the convention. It was
also published that Cordoba was
threatened. All telegraphic communi
cation from Mexico City was suspended
for a while on Saturday last.
Prices of Necessities High. -
There is said to be a scarcity of ar
ticles of prime necessity in the city
and the depreciated currency makes all
prices high, even on the products of
the country. Examples of prices on
imported articles are five pesos per
kilo for cheese and 10 pesos per kilo
for ham. A kilo is two and one-fifth
pounds.
The department is in receipt of a
ispatch dated January 16 from
Monterey with reference to the depar
ture of the followers of Carranza from
that place. The dispatch says that they
left there January 15 and that the
rmy of the National convention, com
manded by General Felipe Angeles and
Generals Emilio Madero and Raoul Ma-
ero, entered the city kt about 2 o'clock
the same day. Up to the date of the
dispatch no looting had occurred, good
order prevailed and the officers and
oldiers who had just taken posses

everything possible to assist the people.
Religious tolerance Promised.
"On arrival. General Angeles made
an address from the balcony of his
hotel in which he expressed gratifica

accorded to himself and followers by
the populace of Monterey. In this
speech General Angeles expressed a
desire to co-operate with the people in
all their efforts for the prosperity and

YARMOUTH, via London, Jan. 19
A hostile aircraft passed over Yarmouth
at 8:30 o'clock tonight and dropped sev
eral bombs. Considerable damage to
property resulted and it is feared there
was some loss of life. One man ia re
ported to have bad his head blown off.
Bemb Falls t Square.
One bomb fell in Norfolk square, close
to the seafront, and another on the
south quay. A third struck the York
road drill hall, fragments of the casing
of the shell crashing through the glass
roof of the billiard-room of the head
quarters of the National Reserve. A
fourth missile fell near the Trinity
depot.
Great excitement prevailed in the
town and special constables, the police
and the military were called out to
calm the people, who streamed out of
their homes when the explosions oc
curred. The electric supply was imme
diately cut off and the town was
plunged in darkness. '
Whirring of Propellers Heard.
The whirring of the propellers of
the air craft first attracted attention
to it. Then came the explosions and
the sound of breaking glass. The
first bomb dropped near the recruit
ing ground and the others near tbe
drill halL In all five bombs were
thrown . by the aviator or aviators.
After the attack the air craft sailed
in a southwesterly direction.
One man was found outside his home
on St. Peter's Flam. His head had
been crushed. . He was identified as
Samuel Smith, shoemaker. A woman.
who has not yet been identified, also
waa found dead, while a soldier waa
discovered in Norfolk Square with a
wound In his chest.
The towns of Yarmouth, Sandrlng-
ham. King's Lynn and Cromer are all
in the province of Norfolk, which abuts
the North Sea about 150 miles north
east of London.
Yarmouth, known as Great Yar
mouth, and Cromer, are favorite water
resorts, while Sandringham contains
the country palace of the late King
Edward. Kings Lynn Is a Beaport and
market town. It contains shipbuilding
yards, iron foundries, machine shops
and other industries.
If the air craft which made the at
tack were the ones which passed over
the island of Ameland, they probably
started from the vicinity of Cuxhaven.
In this case they would have had to
fly about 150 miles across the North
Sea to reach England.
Whole Row of Houses Damaged.
So far as can be ascertained thus far
these are the only casualties in Yar
mouth, but owing to the complete dark
ness that prevails as a result of the
cutting oft of the electric service, this
statement cannot be accepted as defi
nite.
The greatest damage done by any of
the bombs resulted from one that fell
In St. Peter's plain near St. Peter's
Church, which damaged a whole row
of houses, breaking all the windows
and littering the street with slate from
the roofs and brick.

LONDON. Jan. 19. Hotly contested
engagements between the Germans and
French are expected to be renewed on
the Aisne, where both sides are being
heavily reinforced It is believed by
military experts that the Germans will
make strong efforts to break through
there and again move on Paris.
A violent attack has been made by
the Germans around Ypres and the ar
tillery engagement since early Monday
has been terrific, according to dis
patches received via Amsterdam.
To meet this new offensive by the
Germans, strong reinforcements have
been rushed to the British lines in this
vicinity.
Snow fell yesterday in Belgium, in
Northern France and the Vosges, but
nevertheless there waa artillery fight
ing in these sections, according to the
official communication of the French
War Office, given out in Parle this
afternoon. French troops have reoccu-
pied the trenches at La Boiselle, pre?
viously given up by them to the Ger
mans. Yesterday saw no further fight
ing at Soissons. but near Pont-a-Mous-
aoa the French claim a slight advance.
Artillery la la Dock
The German official statement given
out in Berlin today says:
In the Western theater except for
a few unimportant skirmishes, only ar.
tillery duels took place along the en
tire front".
The Frenoh official communication
follows:
"In Belgium, there has been a snow
storm and also intermittent artillery
exchanges at certain points. There was
also a fall of snow yesterday In the re
gion of Arras, where our heavy artil
lery on several different occasions
silenced the batteries of the enemy.
'As we set forth yesterday a fairly
spirited engagement has been develop-
ng at La Boiselle, where, following the
breaking out of several fires, we were
compelled during the night of January
7-18 to evacuate our positions. These,
however, we recaptured January IS at
daybreak. The enemy has not renewed
these attacks on the part of our front.
'In the sections of Soissons, the bom
bardment of the suburb of St. Paul dur
ing the night of January 17-1 waa not
followed by any infantry attack, and
the day of January IS passed in abso
lute calm.
Germs as Lose Field Works.
'In the valley of tbe Aisne to the east
Soissons and in the section ol
Kheims, there were yesterday artillery
exchanges. .
"To the northwest of Pont-a-Moua-
son we yesterday occupied another field
work of the enemy in the Forest of Le
Petre, where we today occupy 500 yard
of the trenches of tbe enemy.
"In the Vosges, yesterday saw
snowstorm. Here also there has been
artillery fighting, particularly In Bande
Sapt and in the neignborhood of
Thann."
The correspondent of the Amster
dam Telegraaf at Selxaets, in the re
gion near Ghent, wires that the Ger
mans have issued proclamations for
bidding the inhabitants to discuss the
war, under penalty of a heavy fine or
long imprisonment.
"Some of the inhabitants already
have been punished," he says. "In fact
the prisons are filled, nbt with ordi
nary criminals, but with citizens who
have unwittingly been guilty of some
Infraction of the numerous German
proscriptions."
The capture of several German field
works on the east bank of the Meuse
River, which, according to the French
official statement, were taken by as
sault, is about the only notable change
in the Western war theater.

WASHINGTON STREET AT TENTH
YARMOUTH IS XOT FORTIFIED
London Mail Protests Convention of
The Hague Was Violated.
LONDON, Jan. 20. News of the Ger
man air raid on Norfolk County
reached London too late last night for
the newspapers generally to give their
editorial views concerning it.
The Daily Mail, one of the few pa
pers to touch on the attack in its edi
torial column, while expressing sym
pathy with the victims, protests that
no military purpose was served Dy the
raid. It says Yarmouth is not a for
tified town, and that, if it were, no
tice should have been given the people
of the intended raid, under the terms of
The Hague convention, which Germany
signed.
"The British people," the Daily Mail
continues, "will only set their teeth
and- will redouble their exertions. The
airship is yet an imperfect machine,
but with improvement will become
more formidable. For the present,
however, the results achieved have
hardly realized the anticipations of
Count Zeppelin's employers."

Gerard cabled the State Department
today the substance of a statement
made to him by Captain Farley, of
the American steamer Greenbrier,
which arrived at Bremen a few days
ago with a cotton cargo from New
Orleans, after having been subjected
to a series of detentions and inter
ruptions, notwitnstanding assurances
which had been given by Great Britain
that shipments of cotton in American
vessels would not be detained.
Officials did not disclose the detail
of Captain Farley's statement, but it
is said lie charged that after examin
ing the Greenbrier's papers, a British
prize crew ordered the American flag
hauled down and convoyed the ship
into Kirkwall, a British port. Captain
Farley refused to navigate the ship
while the British flag was at her mast,
and asserted that through incompetent
navigation by the British three booms
were swept away. He was ordered to
take the ship to Lelth from Kirkwall,

can flag and later was able to proceed
to Germany, after a delay of three
days.
