JUSHE DEFEAT ONLY MARS ALLIES' GAINS German Loss Continuous for 2 Months, With One Excep tion, Says Paris. OFFENSIVE BREAKS DOWN J)cfenf.ivc of Kaiser's Forces Will Go Same Way, but Patience or French and Other Nations Is Declared Xecessary. PARIS. Jan. 21. From November 15 to January IS the Allies have continu ously pushed the Germans back on the line from the sea to the Swiss fron tier, with the exception of at one place on the Aisne in the vicinity of Sois- fons according to an official state inent made today by the French War office, covering the progress of ahe Mir during the period given. With the conclusion in the middle of November of the battle of Ypres the operations took the character of siege warfare, says the report, which sum marizes the results as follows: "By the Germans Destruction of the market, of the cathedral and of the hospital at Ypres: destruction of the town of Nieuport and of the Nieuport baths, and the bombardment of Armen tieres, Bethune and Arras. Bombard nient of Koupir and of Soissons: recap ture of hill No. 132 and of an eminence near Crouy, and a gain of from 1200 to 1800 yards to the north of Soissons; advance of 300 meters in the Arson ne jilung :i front of 800 metres at a point near the Brook des Meurissons: bom bardment of a church at Nancy and of me Hospital at Tbann.

Capture of St. Georges and of the house of the ferry man and of Korteker. The general ex tension of our front around Ypres; the success of Wybendrcrt and the cessa tion of the attacks of the enemy's in fantry. "From the Lys to the Oise The cap ture of the chateau and of the vil lage of Vermelles and of Rutoire: the capture of many German trenches be tween Aix-Noulette and Carency; the partial recapture of Saint Laurent and of Blangy. near Arras: the capture of La Bolsselle: the capture of German trenches at Libons; the capture of Quesnoy-en-Santerre, near the end of October, and progress to the east, fol lowed by general extension and con solidation of our front. "From the Oise to Rhelms The cap ture of the German trenches at Nam poel and of the plateau of Noubron, both of which, however, we lost agaLn; the destruction of numerous pieces of German artillery; the reduction by four-fifths of our previous percentage of infantry losses, thanks to the great er efficiency of our artillery and the consolidation of our defensive system. IT Cannter Attacks Stepped. "From Rheims to the Meuse Ad vance of one kilometer (two-thirds of a mile) in tho region of Prunay; ad vance of more than two kilometers in the region of Perthes, and the stopping of 17 German counter-attacks; ad vance of nearly one kilometer in the Argonne. In the Forest of La Grurie and of Bolante. and the repelling of numerous counter-attacks, the exten sion of our front in the neighborhood of Verdun, and the destruction of many German batteries. "From the Meuse to the Swiss fron tier Important advances in the Forest of Consenvoye in the Forest of Apre mont in the Forest of Ailly. in the Forest of Mortmare and in the Forest of Le Petre: the checking of all the German attacks here: progress to the northeast of Nancy, in a locality called the Forest of Parroy: progress to the north and to the south of Senones and in the entire neigrborhood of Ban de fapt: capture of the Tete de Vinnu, which commands Sainte Marie and and of the Tete de Faux: the complete checking of 34 counter attacks de livered by the enemy: the capture of Auspach and of Steinbach and of the heights to the east of the last men tioned place, and progress in the di rection of Minister, Cernay and Alt kirch. Allle Score 10 Advances. "Summing up We get 10 general ad vances on the part of our troops which wero distinctly perceptible at certain places, as compared to 20 general with drawals on tho part of the enemy, al ways with the exception of the situa tion to.the northeast of Soissons. "This is a comparison of the last two months. To complete it, it should be added that, first, the German offensive in Poland has been restrained for a month past: second, the Russian of fensive continues in Galicia and in the Carpathian Mountains: third, the Turk ish army in the Caucasus has been in large measure annihilated; fourth, Ger many has exhausted her resources in officers (an average of 13 officers to a regiment) and will not in the future be able to develop her resources in ef fective men except at the expense of the existing units: fifth, the armies of the allies, on the contrary, are finding it possible to strengthen themselves further to a measurable degree. "It can consequently be affirmed that to obtain final victory it is sufficient Franco and her allies know how to wait for it and at tho same time pre pare for it with inexhaustible patience. The German offensive has been broken: the German defensive will be broken in its turn." KRUPPS PETITION ENGLAND Germans Ask British Patents and Hidden Motive Is Su.-pected. LONDON. Jan. 21. The official jour nal of the patent office contains two applications relating to armaments from the Krupp firm, of Germany. One patent is sought for a gun mounting, another for a projectile fuse. The fact that the Krupp firm should thus reveal secrets of the great plant at Essen to a hostile government has aroused much comment. Patent agents suggest that some hidden motive may be back of the applications. PERKINS DISCARDS MAXIM Continued From F1rt Paite.l its logical end. furnished sweatshops, child labor, long hours, insanitary con ditions and discord. Co-operation and organisation, on the other hand, tend ed to place more power in the hands of a few men. and consequently such or ganizations should be under the control of the Federal Government. Mr. Perkins did not agree with Samuel Untermyer that many industrial difficulties were due to absentee owner ship. In' the judgment of the witness the large Tesources of endowed-foundations did not constitute a menace, but, lie said, the Government should re quire them to make public all trans actions at least once a year. Mr. Per kins believed in placing power and re sponsibility with these executives and holding them to strict accountability. Proat-SktarlBS Not Solution, lie did not think the coupling of profit-sharing systems with wages would do much to solve the problem of properly ' compensating labor. He thought the plan of permitting em ployes to purchase stock of corporations was "good business," "and," he con tinued, "that is why I believe in big business where there can be employeo profit-sharing, welfare work, pensions, accident and benefit plans. Such things are not possible in small units of busi ness." Industrial depression and unemploy ment, the witness thought, were due to the defects and maladministration of Federal laws. He said many of the present laws, both Federal and state, were old and useless. Germany, he pointed out, had long since discarded antiquated laws and made new ones, applicable to the present days of big business instead of -business by small units. A law passed at the time of the en actment of the Sherman law to prevent stock watering and overcapitalization in railroad and industrial organizations would have done much toward protect. Ing Investors, consumers and labor generally, and such a law would pre vent such maladministration, lie be lieved. The Sherman law had done much to hinder the industrial development of this country, the witness -asserted. THAW TO GO TO TOMBS CELL XEAR ONE FIRST OCCUPIED TO BE SLEEPING PLACE.

NOBILITY IS IN MOURNING Majority of Best-Known Houses In London to Bo Closed This Season and Princess Mary Will Omit Her Formal Debut. -LONDON. Jan. S. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) The coming London season will be the dullest since the Crimean war, owing to the fact that there 'is scarcely a noble family which is not in mourning. While there will be little or no entertaining bn a large scalu and positively no state balls, the King has let it be known that he wants to keep up the routine functions, pro vided no unforeseen emergency arises. These functions. however, will be of the simplest character. If the Germans are unable to turn the scales in their favor or cause the forces of the allies no unparalelled dis aster, the social year will be opened at Buckingham Palace about the middle of February with a formal reception of diplomats and high officials. In past years there have been usually two of these courts held during February and March and two more in May and June. This year, however, it is probable that two will be suspended. Ceremonial Guardsmen Scarce. The King will most likely hold his usual quartet of levees for the officers of the army and navy and the gentle men having access to Wie court. The levees may be held at Buckingham in stead of St. James' this year, on ac count of the scarcity of guardsmen for ceremonial duty, - Even extra levees are said to be under consideration, in view of the large number of officers appointed or promoted, since it is the custom for them to appear at court on such occasions. Although almost the entire body of army and navy officers are at the front, they are frequently relieved and allowed home on tur- lougb. a Both the King and Queen feel strong ly that court balls are out of place at this time and these will not be re sumed ur.til the war ends. It is also decided that there shall be neither Derby night nor an Oaks night ball. although the King will not forego his usual Derby night dinner to his fellow members of the Jockey Club, unless compelled to by circumstances. Familiar Faces Absent. This year's opening court will be marked by the absence of several fa miliar faces, notably the late Sir Will iam Carrington. Keeper of the Privy Purse; Lord John Hamilton, the Dep uty Master of the Household; the Hon. W. Cadogan, equerry to the Prince of Wales, and Major Rivers Bulkeley. The losses of war among the minor mem bers of the household have also been considerable. , The majority of the best-known houses In London will remain closed this season, notably Devonshire House, Hyde Park House, Grosvenor House, Sunderland House, Strafford House and Montague House. There will be none of the semi-public costume balls, which used to be a notable feature of Lon don's season, although a bazaar in aid of the Prince of Wales' fund has been suggested. Had the war not intervened the for mal debut in society of Princes3 Mary would have been a gala occasion, cele brated by a fancy dress ball. Yet she will appear at the first court held after she attains her 18th year, on April 25. GERMAN VICTORY "DECEIVES fContinu-d From First Page.) places as many as five successive lines of permanent French trenches, each with Its entanglement of barbed wire supported on iron posts which were screwed into the ground. Pioneers might cut their way through the first entanglement before the gen eral artillery attack, but it was neces sary for the others to make the ad vance across the exposed positions un der fire. The attackers, however, were General Von Kluck's veterans, who after the famous dash on Paris, the bat tle of the Marne and the retirement to the Aisne, had been remaining here in comparative inactivity since the middle of September: German Victory Cemplete. They succeeded somehow in sweeping across the plateau, first in the center and then, on January 13, on the left or eastern flank, carrying trench after trench by storm in an uninterrupted and irresistible attack. By nightfall of January IS, they had driven the French from the plateau. The follow ing day they cleared the French from the valley below and drove them across the river. The victory was completed by an advance through the valley on that same day. The earlier operations made this comparatively easy; in fact many of the French had no alternative but to surrender, as the only path of escape over which a retreat might have been attempted was commanded completely from the plateau above. Roadside Becomes Cemetery, The correspondent reached the bat tlefield over the turnpike leading from Soissons. approaching by automobile as far as the village of Crouy, a scant mile from the French outposts, which were the scene three days earlier of desperate combats. The road is cut into the side of the hill between the plateau and the val ley. The narrow margin of roadside on one hand before the drop into the valley had become one long ceme tery. The Germans had interred there their dead of past months in long rows of graves, each surmounted by a stone or wooden cross telling sometimes of one. oftener of 20 or 30 or more, com rades lying at rest beneath. On the opposite side of the road were entrances to numerous tunneled stone quarries driven several hundred feet into the hillside. Within the quarries had been lodged German troops, the number in each cavern varying from a company to a regit ment Village Torn by Sheila. The Village of Crouy itself presented the familiar picture of shell-wrought destruction with which the correspond ent has become so well acquainted after five months of travel through the war zone. From the battlefield on the plateau bove was unfolded a panorama of the precipitous sides of the Aisne Valley and tho French positions on tne op posite sides. Soissons. in full view be low, seemed startlingly close, with the towers of the cathedral and the thir teenth century abbey emerging from the maze of stone houses. The promenade along the exposed side of the plateau, in sight of ois-, sons and the bank of the Aisne. held in force by the French, gave a rather uncanny feeling of insecurity. How ever, it was less dangerous than it seemed, as a slight haze rendered the little group in German field gray in visible to the French artillery on the heights on the opposite side of the val ley, and the infantry in the valley itself, although nearer, was too far below to direct an effective fire. The haze also made it impossible to ascertain to what extent Soissons had suffered under bombardment. French Retire Fishtlng., The battlefield is still dotted with corpses by the hundreds, principally of French soldiers who fell during their hasty retirement from the trenches. They had to cross open fields under artillery and Infantry Are, and death overtook some as they ran. The posi tions of the bodies show that most of the French soldiers retired fighting, al though some of them fell on their faces as they were stumbling toward the rear. Some lie sprawling on their backs, faces to the sun, occasionally with heads pillowed on knapsacks, showing that death was not instantaneous and that, perhaps, a last service had been rendered to them by their fleeing com rades. Three or four had managed to draw from their pockets packages of black French cigarettes -for a final smoke before passing away. Most of the bodies lie with heads pointed toward the abandoned French trenches, rifles by their sides or often still clenched in the stiffened hands. , At the edge of the plateau, just over its brink, lay a long line of dead men. They had turned for a last stand against the advanc ing Germans and had met their death. Death Met In Last Stand. Study of the situation showed that they had made no attempt to rush down the declivity to temporary safety. The bayonets on all their rifles were fixed, and in a number of cases the chambers of their pieces still held ex ploded shells. Two or three rifles were found, the stocks of which had been broken off at the grips, evidence of the severity of the hand-to-hand fighting. There was no feeling of horror or revulsion at the sight of these hun dreds of corpses; their very number took away the impression of human slaughter. They seemed like figures in a huge panorama" painting of a bat tie. -The human note, however, often came out when one was told of the contents of the letters found in the knapsacks or grasped in tho hands of these dead French -soldiers. It was the duty of the Intelligence officers in the party with which the correspond ent traveled to glance at such letters for the sake of the final information that they might contain. But of th there was little. Far oftener he found letters from home with sentences about the health of the children and references to little presents and delicacies on the way to the soldier. Sometimes there was home gossip, and often expressions of anxi ety for the safety of husband or father, and always the hope for the end of "this terrible war" and the sate re turn of the loved ones.
