The nrincioal fiBlitiue in West
Flanders is now centreing in the vi
cinity of Yprcs, where both Allies and
Germans have made attacks, appar
ently without achieving any con
spicuous success. The Paris War
Office's, official statement issued this
afternoon declares that German infan
try attacks in that region have been
repulsed, while the report of the Ger
man General Staff, issued in Berlin,
declares that attempted advances by
the Allies have been thrown back.
Paris reports little activity else
where on the line, except in the Ar
Bonne, where attacks by the German
infantry have failed to gain ground.
Unofficial reports from Berne,
Switzerland, confirmed by dispatches
from Berlin, show that on the ex
treme French right, in Alsace, a battle
of considerable proportions-is in prog
ress, the French having developed a
new offensive toward Mulhausen and
Altkirch.
Strengthening of the German lines
in, Poland and Resumption of the of
fensive, particularly against the Ger
man centre at Lodz, stand out as the
salient features of the Poland cam
paign. 'Both Kaiser's and Czar's War
Offices agree that fighting has been
furious at several points along the
line, and each side arrogates such
advantage as exists to itself. North
of Lodz the Germans have been forced
back, but at the centre their re-form,
ed line holds firm, while the perilous

FACES CONSPIRACY CHARGE
TO SHIELD HIS DAUGHTER
Book Publisher and His Associate
Accused of Obstructing Justice.
Two Philadelphia law book publishers
took tho alternative of facing conspiracy
charges In court today rather than havo
tho daughter of ono of them appear for
a hearing on a statutory charge before
a Magistrate, where only the complaint
would ho heard and she WoUld have no
opportunity to defend herself,
Tho wen are George T, Blsel, presi
dent Of tlin acorgn T. Blsel Company,
721 b'nnsotn street, and Cyrus M. Dixon,
vice president of the eo'inpany. Disci's
daughter, Mrs. Florcnco H. rilffoul, wns
arrested in .Wllllamsport Inst week on a
statutory charge preferred hy her hus
band, Arthur 10. Clifford, formerly an
ottlclal of the hook publishing firm.
Blsel .admitted In Quarter Sessions
Court today heforo Judge Uarrntt that
he know tho whereabouts of his daugh
ter nnd offered to produco her In tho
protection of tho Qiinrier ScbsIohb Court.
As the mutter Is still In tho jurisdiction
of Magistrate Harris, before whom Mrs.
Clifford was to havo had a further hear
ing last Monday, Judgo Barratt could
do nothing but comply with tho demand
of John II. K. Scott, attorney for tho
complainant, and hold Blsel nnd Dixon
In $600 ball each for court On n chargo
of conspiracy to obstruct Justice. Dixon
anld he knew nothing of tho whereabouts
of Mrs. Clifford, hut was held because
Clifford said he had made n statement,
to tlie effect tho woman had been sent
to a foreign country.
Judgo Barrntt made clear to Blsel that
he was transgressing tho law It ho re
fuged to produce tho woman beforo a
magistrate or in any way nldcd her to
keep out of the jurisdiction. He refused
r to avail himself of this advice, declar
ing he would not have his daughter sub
mit to a one-sided hearing before a mag
istrate. Itc admitted that tho only Jus
tification he had to offer for his refusal
to produce the womnn was that as her
father he would not stand Idly by and
permit her character to bo besmirched.
Ball for the woman at 'Wllllamsport was
furnished by Dr. N. R. Hubbard, a dcntlBt,
nnd when she failed to appear at the hear
ing beforo Magistrate Harris, tho latter
ordered the 300 bond forfeited.
Doctor Hubbard, who also was sum
moned to court today, was exoneratod on
his declaration that there was no agree
ment, explicit or Implied, that ho was to
be reimbursed for his loss by tho for
feiture of tho ball bond, no said he nat
urally expected Blsel would compensate
him If tho bond wero sued out. The
dentist was discharged, the testimony not
connecting him with any arrangement for
the removal of Mrs. Clifford from tho
jurisdiction of the court.

OHIO COAL STRIKE TO GO ON:
40,000 FACE STARVATION
Miners and Operators Fail to Agree
on Compromise.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 4, There will be no
peace In the Ohio coal region, The strike
will go on. This was the result of tho
conference of' miners' delegates from Sub
District No, 8 and Ohio operators which
broke up suddenly and adjourned sine die
today without any agreement being
reached.
There will be no Christmas In the East
ern Ohlol coal fields this year. Starvation
stalks In the Belmont County hills.
Twenty thousand children there will be
lucky to have enough to eat and more
fortunate If they have clothing to keep
their bodies warm. Similar conditions
affect SOOO women and 13,000 men.
These statements were made today in
the conference of representatives of the
miners and operators trying to settle tho
strike begun eight months ago.
The miners want 47 cents a ton for their
mining. The operators offer 4l. cents.
Strikers reported that many families ot
eight were existing on less than J3 a
week. Shipments of food and clothing to
the strike region from Ohio cities during
the past few weeks have alleviated the
distress very little, miners' representatives
said.
Governor Cox has suggested that .000
discarded militia uniforms be sent by
the State. This will probably be done.
Cards have been sent to every church
In Ohio asking that dally prayer be of.
fered for settlement ot the strike.

TAYLOR BRANDS
SEPARATE T
PLAN BETRAYAL
Transit Director Says Cos
tello's Frankford Scheme
Would Tie City's Hands
in Fight for High-speed
System. "
Would End Chances of a Coin-
peting Chestnut Street Sub
way if P. R. T. Refuses to
Agree to Co-operate.
TrunMt Director A. Merrltt Taylor this
afternoon branded the proposed elevated
railroad to Frankford, Independent of his
subway-elevated plans, as an "unthink
able betrayal of a public trust."
The Director said such an elevated
would not only tie tho halids of the city
In Its fight for better transit conditions,
but would removo nil chancer ot con
structing a compctltlvo eubway under
Chestnut street In the event that the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company re
fused to agree to the-transit plans.
PLAN WAS COSTELLO'S.
The ordinance providing for tho Frank
ford elevated road wns Introduced In
Common Council yesterday by Peter E.
Costello, of the -41st Ward. It provides
for the Immediate construction of a two
track elevated railway on Front Street to
Kensington avenue, to Frankford avenue,
to nhawn street, and Ignores the plans
of Director Taylor.
Commenting on tho ordinance this after
noon Director , Taylor said;
"According to tho newspapers, an ordl- ,
nance, was introduced' In Councils yes
terday offering a franchise to the Phila
delphia Rapid Transit Company which,
will enable that company to construct an
elevated railway over Front street,
Kensington avenue and Frankford avenue.
"The terms of this ordinance as pub
lished disregard the plans which hate
been developed by the Department of
City Transit for the establishment of a
complete high-speed system In the city
in a way which will connect up every
Important section with ovcry other Im
