The fourth month of the Kuropean war ends to day with Field Marshal Sir John French, the British commander on the conttnent, admitting; that the allies In France and Belgium are outnum bered by the Germans. This la the most significant state ment yet made by any of the British reports. For the first time, it seeks to allay criticism at home by giving credit to individual units of the Brit ish expeditionary army. . In his state ment this force's field commander-in-chief takes the nation and the world Into his confidence, despite the early martinet rules laid doyn by "War Min ister Lord Kitchener, and confesses that, from the-moment the war began up to the present 'time the allies have been unahle to maintain a sustained offensive because the Germans have had them outnumbered. Only tactical errors by the Ger mans, says Marshal French, gave the Franco-British forces the two positive offensive victories they have secured their victory in the battle of the Marne and another in the battle of Saint Omer and Hazebroucke. British F oread Germans Back. This latter figbt was the sequel to the German drive of 35 miles west of fcllle, which carried them to within 22 miles of Calais. At this point the arrival of the British from the Alsne forced the kaiser's troops to retreat the whole of the 35 miles back to Lille. Marshal French's declaration that an offensive campaign by the allies had been rendered impossible by the Germans' numerical superiority must be accepted as a positive fact and not as a mere excuse to explain away the paucity of the former's victories. The official TJordeaux renort to Paris last week made the same admission. in this Bordeaux statement the Germans were credited with having 50 army corns in the western fighting area. ! representing probably 2,000,000 men. A revision of credit for the deeds of the past four months is, therefore, necessary. The Germans have proved that they possessed a superiority in equipment over the allies, for lack of equipment undoubtedly accounts mainly for the allies' Inability to oppose superior numbers to the kaiser, whose own army Is divided, east and west. Germans Mora Efficient. Not only In preparedness before the war, but in productivity since it be gan have the Germans revealed their greater efficiency. But is It --the inevitable conclusion from Marshal French's report that the Germans have not shown a man-foreman superiority to their enemies in the field. owing to Russian pressure on his east-f eru frontier, the kaiser has been hold lug fast to French and Belgan terri tory by virtue of sheer military skill, against . numerically superior forces. This, it now appears, has not been the case. It is the French, British and Belgians instead who have been cling ing desperately to their positions in spite of the fact that they were great ly outnumbered. Peace Politicians Blamed. - Whatever criticisms may be direct ed against France and Great Britain on account of their' inability to outnum ber the divided German armies after four months of fighting, it must be admitted that the blame should be laid at the door, not of the military leaders, but at thac of the peace poli ticians who failed to provide the nec essary machinery in advance. Germany is not the allies' superior in military genius. This Is proven by the belated acknowledgment that never have the allies been able to meet the Germans on an equality numerically, and they have held their ground against the latter for weeks. Marshal French expresses the opin ion that the present battle is at last drawing to a close. This may be his way of intimating that the allies will soon have more men on. the firing line than the Germans. RIVAL MEXICANS RACE FOR TAMPICO WHERE BATTLE IS EXPECTED Washington Officials Report Mexico City and Vera Cruz Are Both Quiet, ft"nlt(d Prs I.eed Wlr. Washington, Nov. 30. Carranzistas and Vijlistas were racing today for Tampico. where General Pirballero has repudiated Carranza. Tw thousand Carranzistas were on their way tt Tampico from Vera Cruz. Both Mexico City and Vera Cru were reported quiet today. Administration officials . refused to take seriously unofficial reports that General Carranza had demanded the withdrawal of American warships from Vera Cruz harbor. General fighting throughout Mexico was predicted soon. Sanchez Commands Guerrero. El Paso, Texas, Nov. 30. Dispatches received here today announced the ap pointment of .General Gertrudis San chez as commander of the state of Guerrero, a Zapata stringhoid. and also that of General Juan Banderas. Zapata's prihcipal lieutenant, as mlli- etary commander of the state of Slna- loa. The appointments were believed "here" to mark the beginning of a plan to weaken General Zapata's power by removing , his chief lieutenants from commands In territory-he now cobtrols and sending them elsewhere, naming Villlstas to command Zapata territory. General Angeles, commanding 200 Vlillstas, has reached Tula and will go on to Mexico City to guard lega tlons there; until General' Villa sr rives.- Then Angeles will attack Car ranzistas at Pachuca. A delegation from Mexico City .went to Tula Sunday to escort General Villa to the capital, but he Insisted upon de laying his entry. . - TOTAL EXPORTS OVER DOUBLE NOVEMBER 1913 Improvement in . Business Conditions-Is Reflected in Huge Increase in Ship ments. POSTAL RECEIPTS ALSO SHOW GOOD INCREASE Bank Clearings' $48,000,000 and Building Permits Are Over Half Million. That business is rapidly increasing is clearly shown in the reports of Portland's exports far the month clos ing, today as compared with the show ing of November. 1913. Perusal of the figures shows that Portland's ex ports of wheat, flour, lumber and oats for the month are much more than double what they were for the corre sponding month of last year. On top of this the postoffice reports an in crease of about 1 per cent In postal receipts over November of 1913. Ex ports this month amounted in value to J2.743, 180.77. Last .November they were $1,482,306. Wheat exports almost trebled, flour doubled, and only lumber showed a do crease. The wheat exports last No vember were valued at $669,493, and the flour was worth $2fc8.747. For the month just closing, wheat exports amounted to 1,82,829, and flour $169 860. The lumber exports this month amounted to about $65,000, WliJle bank clearings show a de crease as compared to November of 1913, it is due to the fact that huge sums are owing Oregon for her crops and the money will not begin to flow into the state in appreciable quantities for several weeks yet. When they do. the real condition will show in the fig ures. cieaay increase in the postal re ceipts is noted. Uuring the month Which closes tonight it is estimated that the receipts will aggregate $92, 000 as against $90,000 for the corre sponging period of 1913 an increase of a little more than $1000 in favor of this month. " Building permits for this month will run to an estimated total of $510,000. Bank clearings for the month will run about $48,000,000.

Head Balks at Mediation President Welborn ot the Socksfsllsr Company Says Ha Knows of Wo Con troversy With Employes. Denver, Colo., Nov. 30. "I know of no controversies between Colorado op erators and their employes," said Jesse Welborn, president of - the, Colorado Fuel & Iron eompe.ny, here today, "which render mediation the obvious Way of effecting a settlement. "All serious labor troubles in the Colorado coal fields have been caused by labor organizations trying to force their regimeoji business against the wishes of the employers and the work men. v Mf the commission Just appointed by President Wilson can prevent the labor organization responsible for Col orado's present trouble from bringing about another strike solely for recog nition of unions, a great service will have been rendered and a strike of the kind from which we are now suffer ing will be a thing of the past. There are not more than a thousand of our former employes now on strike. We believe it to be our duty to respect the wishes and rights of the 11,446 men working in October, rather than the 1000 men not working." The members of. the federal indus trial relations commission announced today they would hold their first ses sion Wednesday. Strike Mediators Will Act at Once Colorado Commission Appointed by President Wilson Will Begin Work Immediately to Evolve Settlement. Washington, Nov. 30. The members of the commission to settle the Colo rado coal strike named by President Wilson will begin work immediately. The committee is composed of three members Seth Low, president of the National Civic federation; Patrick Kil- day, of Scranton, an officer of the United Mine Workers of America, and Charles Mills or Philadelphia. Representatives of the department of labor in Coloradb have been Instructed to plan the commission s work. President Wilson expects to evolve a plan for settlement which will result in the reopening of the mines. The president said he was convinced that the operators "would accept the serv' ices of the commission. If the plan works, the president probably will suggest that congress create a similar commission to act in future controversies. The success of the federal mediation commission in settling railroad disputes has con vinced the president that a similar body ought to exist to consider dis putes in other industries. "Jim Crow" Car Law Is Constitutional Washington. Nov. 30. Oklahoma's "Jim Crow" car law. requiring rail roads to segregate white and negro passengers by providing separate coaches and compartments of equal comfort on trains and separate waiting rooms in stations, was approved today by the United States supreme court when it affirmed a decree of the Okla homa federal courts which upheld the act and asserted actual discrimination must take place before the case could be decided.

Ptrograd, Nov. 30. Slav hopes of complete victory over the Ger mans la Russian Poland rested to day on the enormous reinforce ments the czar waa rushing to his forces in that region. Experts stated that the expecta tion was to crush tha Germans cotn- pletely south of Plock and in the Lodz region. The kaiser's trcops, however, it was admitted were making desper ate efforts to cut their way to safety, and despite the highly op timistic unofficial reports which have been in circulation recently, men in a position to know the actual situation acknowledged that the Slav's successes wete not yet final and decisive, , The official version was that Rus sian progrtss was "favorable." Good judges of military matters said it was evident that the detached battles which have been raging for a week past along the czar's western frontier had finally been welded Thto one huge engagement. The statement was made that the army under General von Makensen. which was sent to reinTorce General von Hindenberg," had virtually been cut into' three sections, but it was owned-that one ot 'these sections had succeeded in extricatinc itself from immediate danger. GERMANS CONFIDENT OF POLISH OUTCOME BUT LACK DETAILS Berlin, via The Hague. Nov. 30. Germany was full of confidence today concerning the outcome of the fight ing in Russian Poland. News that General von Hindenberg, commander of the German troops In the eastern field of war, had received a field marshal's baton and' that the kaiser himself had joined him at the eastern front, was received with great enthusiasm. The war office did not claim a Teu tonic victory . in Poland and it ad mitted that fighting there was of the most desperate character, but it did announce, on the strength of an offi cial report from von Hindenberg, that (Concluded on Pipe Twelre, Column Stren) RO MANY CALLS COME TO THE WINTER RELIEF BUREAU FOR SHOES AND CLOTHING FROM PERSONS UNABLE TO FIND EMPLOYMENT The Journal Appeals to the Generous Public for Contribu tions of Various Kinds to Saye Destitute From Suf fering During "Holidays and Winter Months, Winter Keiiaf ZTxnd.
