HEADS OF NATION'S
WITNESS BATTLES
;'?i Poland R}|t?fK With 111
tens/ty?Germans Reported to
Have Broken Through
Russian Lines.
London, Dec. 1.?(10 p. m.)?if e
battle in Northern Poland is being
toi:g:it out under r e eyes of the German
emperor, on the one side, and the
Russian emperor, on the other. These
two monarchs left for t. e front today
so that virtually the heads oall the
nations war are with their trcops.
The kinz of England is in France:
the king a. Belgium, as usual, is
spending ail his time with his soldiers,
w/ile President Poincare, of France,
started today for another visit to the
northern battlefield.
Official news from Poland continues
j scanty, and, with both headquarters
claiming successes, it is imposible to
say now the battle is going. Of its intensity,
however, there can be no
doubt.
The Germans, when they started for
Warsaw, dashed full tilt into a mass
of Russian trcops and forced their way
so :ar in that t e Russians closed on
t em. This was taken in Petrogard to
mean that some of the German divisions
had been cut off and that their
surrender or annihilation was inevitable.
Rtissan L:ne Broken.
It appears, however, that, fighting
fcr their very lives and in the knowledge
that a great defeat would end
the German offensive and compel them
to all back on their own frontiers, t:.e
German troops broke through tv.e
Russian lines at one place and at another
are holding their entrenchments !
against all the Russian attacks. Their
flanks still are being harassed by the
Cossacks, but seemingly the Russians
are not now in a position to gain the
sweeping victory they had anticipated.
The losses, with t:e desperate fight
ing that has been going on for a fort-!
night, must necessarily be very heavy!
on both sides.
Against the Austro-German forces
in tee south the Russians continue to
gain more decisive results. They now
hold all Austrian positions protecting
t'_e Carpathian passes and are said to
have arrived abreast of Cracow, while
tfceir captures for t'-ree weeks number
50,000 men.
Lzyely Cannonade.
In the west, although the German
official report says there is nothing

IU fumuiuiiitdiC) r; cuvu viiiv.ia.1 |
statement notes a lively cannonade in
Belgium and German activity north of
Arras. This may mean the Germans
have commenced, or are about to coinence,
another attempt to get t rough
to the French ports. Certainly tr.ere
are important changes in the dispositions
of the German troops.
Military men here disagree some believing
the Germans will rest content
with holding their positions until the
close of the battle in Poland, where
they need all t''.:e men they can get,
v:ite others look for an immediate resumption
of t':.e battle in Northern
France and Flanders.
The Germans, too, according to
Dutch reports, are strongly fortifying
Zeebrugge and other Belgian ports
against a renewal o?: attacks by the
allied fleer. Fighting around Ypres
vras due to the allies pushing their
fines forward. .
SAYS UNCLE SA -I WILL
HAVE TO FIGHT WINNER
George B. Mcriellan Stales Monroe
Detr ne is Likely to Br/ntr
Great War.
Princeton, X. J., Dec. 1.?General
disarmament and universal peace will
net follow the European war, and the
Tnited States may have trouble wit>.
the winner, were the predictions made
by George B. McClellan, former mayor
of New York, and now professor of
economic 'iiistorj in Princeton University,
in an address here tonig'.'.t.
"No matter who wins," said Prof.
McClellan, "it is almost certain fcr.at
at some not far distant date we shall
be confronted with the alternative of
abandoning the Monroe doctrine or
fighting to maintain it. I: we fight
lor-it in our preserit unprepared condition,
there can be but one outcome.*
A triumphant and victorious Germany
would have little to fear from us. and
while we possibly might check Japan
by herselC, we scarcely could hope to
do so if sC.e received lielp."
The cause of war, according to Prof.
McClellan, is the spirit of nationality
wii icli has seized all of Europe, and
the present war cannot be charged
against any one man or any group of
men.
Prof. McCIellan made a strong appeal
that Americar > awake to their
present condition of unpreparedness
and that immediate steps be taken to
buiid up a national defence.

Halifax, X. S., Xov. 30.?A Morning
Chronicle special staff correspondent
j who went to Europe to investigate
i rnnrHtinns in t'.:e war zone cabling
J from Rotterdam depicts pitiable con!
ditions among the homeless Belgians.
Despite efforts of the American commissions
for relief in Belgian to feed
' re ngees. the correspondent says the
; food supply for immediate needs has
j been exhausted and non-combatants
! are aski-itr aid from O.nada. The disi
! patch in part follows:
I
" 'Will Canada ielp?' T'.is is the
| pathetic cry which meets me everywhere,
as I have gone up and down i
; the lines c: t'l:e starving and homeless j
Belgians. I
I
"The American commission :as ex- j
hausted the immediate sources of
food supplies. They can not obtain !
fcod in Holland or in England for j
i I
| immediate needs. Another flight of i
Belgians toward Holland has begun;
the panic stricken people are stream!
ing across the frontier into the bor'
der towns, which already are overrun
; with wandering refugees. The situa!
tion has become so acute the Ameri|
can commission 'has asked the British'
! governent to sell to it the Canadian
; gift of flour now in England and immediately
available ;or distribution j
! among the starving Belgians.
'"The British people, driven to des!
npration. are arming themselves with
'any weapons upon which they can!
lay hands. T'ae danger is that they I
may precipitate a riot and that will
bring on them military reprisals/'
Spee/al Baby Boxes.
New York, Xov. 30.?Boxes of food
prepared especially for babies and "n;
valids are to be sent to Belgium by
tr.e Woman's Section of ttfe Aemican
Commission for Relief in Belgium, it
was announced today. Bv* means of
these "baby boxes" it is thought, the
lives of a million bahies and children
may be saved.
The commission stated that food
sentf heretofore has been mainly for
the adult population. By the newplan,
packages of the babies' food will
be marked with a white band so that
on arrival in Europe they can be sent
immediately to ailing children. Boxes
of food for invalids or adults, witoblue
or red bands, respectively, also
will be forwarded.
T:.e presidents of 14 State federations
of women's club have accepted
places on the cooperating committee
of t'.:e women's action of the commission
within the last three days and
15,000 club women have expressed
| their intention to cooperate in the
work. This brings the number of j
American women engaged in this j
work nearly 700,000.

Why We Shall \ot Have Koal Hard
T/mes. j
In the November American Maga- j
i zine appears a highly practical and
intensely interesting article entitled
"How the War Has Opened a Busij
ness Opportunity to America." The
j author is of the opinion that we are
i not in for 'hard times?at least not if
.
we manage our affairs with intelli-;
gence. On this point he says in part:
" 'Of course, we can make hard
ir-n-r* nut nf anvthins:. But there is no
i natural reason or it thac I see; in
! fact, it's all in our favor. If manu-1
facturers, inventors, chemists, and
scientific experts generally all join
forces and study the problem, and
keep everybody too busy to talk, we
will be making the best use of our
luck. The situation is simply a big
call on Yankee resourcefulness.'"
