Cr
r The Germans hac increased the violence of their attacks and fierce
engagements were in progress along the entire 300-mile front.
The French official statement says the Allies have maintained their ad
vanced positions on the left and have advanced slightly in the Argonne and
Woevre regions.
The German Staff has moved its Belgian headquarters from Ghent to
Grammont, 20 miles to the south, according to Amsterdam dispatches. The
garrison in Antwerp is reported greatly reduced
Unofficial reports say the Allies have occupied Courtrai, Ostcnd and
Kicuport and forced the Germans eastward from Dixmudc.
British cruisers and monitors hac driven the Germans from their
trenches along the Iiclgi.m coast. ,
Capture of the northern France canal system from Arlettx, 36 miles
to the Oisc River is announced in Berlin. Arelux is six miles southeast of
Douai. This canal is cast of the German line. The announcement indi
cates a slight withdrawal of German forces to the canal, which will be a
new battle line.
French artillery has repulsed with great loss a German assault in the
Vosgcs
While Pctrograd celebrated victory over the Germans at Warsaw, the
War Office issued a statement which virtually admitted the presence of
the Kaiser's forces within eight miles of the Polish capital. The fresh
German offensive after repulses a few days ago to bases 50 miles from
the objective is taken to indicate determination on the part of the Kaiser's
Staff to keep the Russians too busily engaged in defending their own soil
to carry out the Czar's plans for an advance into Silesia. Pctrograd reports
i complete rout of the Germans before Warsaw.
RiibSia has recalled garrisons from Siberia and Manchuria to fill out
the first line opposed to the German invasion, thus indicating to Berlin
heavy losses in the great battle along the Vistula.
Berlin reports that the Russians have been expelled from Galicia, though
Pctrograd claims further success in battle south of Przemysl, which con
tinues heavily invested.
Japanese warships, the main body of the fleet, was officially reported
tcourmg the Pacific in the region of Hawaii for German ships. A heavy
bombardment of Tsing-Tao was begun.
Great Britain gave notice to foreign Powers that ships of its enemies
now l)tng in the Suez Canal would be seized or removed. Reports of
threatened destruction of the canal and alleged use of the waters as a base

A sensation was sprung at the hear
ing of the "Steel Trust" today when It
became generally known that testimony
by Colonel Roosevelt, In which he denies
that Judge Gary or II. C. Frlck had
imposed upon him in connection with the
transfer of tho Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company to tho United States Steel Cor
portlon, would be read
The Government contends that the ex
I'resldent was misled and that certain
facts lold before him by Frlck and Judge
Gar) were untrue. Tho transfer took
placo In 1607, after several captains of
finance had told Colonel Roosevelt that
the Tennessee concern was facing bank
ruptcy and that only a transfer would
prevent a general panic In business.
It Is contended by Spcclnl Assistant
Attorney Gt nernt Dickinson that tho for
mer President wis mlsl'd nnd that the
transfer resulted in general violations of
the anti-trust act.
Testimony given by Colonel Roosevelt
and published over his name In The Out
look, of which he was associate editor,
will be read by the corporation law)urs.
The former Prldent's sworn testi
mony which absolves, fudge Gary nnd
Mr Frlck, reads In pirt as follows:
"It has been alleged, on the authority
of Government officials engaged In car
Ding on the suit, that I was misled and
thnt certain facts weren't laid before
mo. This stntement Is not correct. I
wns not misled."
Today's hearing threw light on a fa
mous trip In a special train to the White
House In November, 1907. Aboard the
train were Judge Gary and H. C. Frlck,
who went to plead with Colonel Roose
velt regarding tho Tennessee Arm.
The trip to Washington was decided
according to the argument of the "Steel
Trust's" lawyers nfter a "S O S " slg;
nai nnn oeen sent uroaacusi oy mosa
who were Interested In the Tennessee
Coal nnd Iron Company
It has been learned that the Govern
ment will contend in rebutnl that Colo
nel Roosevelt wns deceived by Judge
Gary and H. C Frlck when they called
at the White House to plead with him
not to oppose the transfer of the Ten
nessee Company
The suit Is being tried In the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals, before
Judges Bufllngton.wlfunt. McPherson and
Woolle). In the Federal Building.
Tho argument of the nttornc) for tho
"Steel Trust," which hns been character
ized as the combination of many trusts
by tho Government, Is that Colonel
Roosevelt, when President, had been In
formed of whnt the t'nlted States Steel
Corporation contemplated doing.
In the brief filed bv the defendants ap
pears a letter written by Colonel Roose
velt on November 4. 1M7 The trust law
ers are trvlng to prove that the anti
trust laws were never violated, becnusa
before the transfer of the Tennessee Coal
Company they had made known their
rensons for the taking over of that com
pany. RooscvnuT's LnTTr.rt read.
Colonel Roosevelt's letter, written to
Charles I Bonaparte, when the latter
was Attorney General, regarding a vl&lt
to him b) Judge Gar) and H C Prick,
reads as follows
"Mv Pear Mr Attorney General:
