WAGE BITTER FIGHT
TO CONTROL VISTULA
Russians Seize Ground on
Bzura's Left Bank as Base
to Protect Novo Geor
giewsk. TETnoanAD, Jan. 21.
A desperate Htruggle Is In progress for
possession of the left bank of the Vistula,
from Its Junction with the Bzura nt
Wiszogrod westward to Dobrzyn, a dis
tance of approximately 6 miles. Posses
sion by the Russians of Wlszogrod and
their footing on the left bank of the
Uzura In that vicinity afford them a base
for their operations against the Germans,
who are In force to the west of that
position, and effectually prevent a move
ment upon Novo deorglevsk, which has
been the German objective In the advance
toward Warsaw from the north.
In endeavoring to retake trenches cap
tured by the Russians Immediately west
of Wlszogrod the Germans are reported
to have lout S00 men.
The Russian advance on the right bank
of the lower Vistula Is being pushed with
a good deal more energy. Under the
threat of this development, the Germans
again are showing considerable activity
on the lower Bzura, where for some time
they have been comparatively quiescent.
They have been bombarding Hlshogrod,
and a few miles further south, (hei)ed the
Russian trenches at Vltkovlce, a Russian
point on the left side of the Ilzua.
An Interesting incident Is reported from
the district between Sklernlewlce and
Rawa. Here the Russians hold the po
sition on the right bank of the Rawka,
from which they have been maintaining
a brisk artillery fire.
A tremendous explosion took place at
Novl Dvor, seven miles from North
Rawa, occupied by the Germans. A
dense column of black smoke was seen
Issuing from the village, It Is Inferred a
hell must have fallen on one of the
Qetman magazines,
In the same neighborhood a detach
ment of Russians crossed the Rawka by
night on rafts and concealed themselves
In a trench lately occupied by the Ger
mans. The ambush was a complete suc
cess, as presently the German patrol
came along unsuspectingly and was anni
hilated. AUSTRIANS WRECK RUSSIAN

ATTACK ON BRITAIN
MAY ROUSE DUTCH
AGAINST GERMANS
Neutrality Breach Cited in
Zeppelins' Flight Over
Holland Territory Four
Killed in Raid.
l!ONDON, Jan. SI. Tho most impor
tant feature of the latest German exploit,
tho nlr raid on the Norfolk coast towns
Tueadny night, which cost four lives, Is,
in London vlow, the presumption that the
raiders, both In coming and teturnlng,
violated the neutrality of Holland.
All dispatches from Amsterdam re
ceived slnco the raid positively declare
that tho airships passed directly over the
outer Frisian Islands, and It Is considered
in the highest degree probablo fnat the
Government will make a formal protest
to tho Netherlands Government.
Although tho loss of life and property
In the raid was lnslgnlPcant compared to
that of tho more spectaaular sea raid on
the Yorkshire coast, public Indignation
runs, it possible, ever higher than after
that event, and every comment heard Is
chiefly concernod with the question of tho
violation of Holland's borders.
An especially interesting feature of tho
case is that it is only a short time since
Germany itself formally protested to
Switzerland against nn nllegod breach of
its neutrnllty by the French and British
aeroplanes while making for Fricdrich
shafen. On that occasion, it Is remem
bered here, the allied raiders were ablo
to demonstrate beyond all doubt that
they had passed only over French nnd
German territory. In tho present case
there seems to be no doubt that the
Germans passed above the Frisian
Islands, If not over a portion of the main
land. rOTJR KILLED, 31 INJURED
BY GERMAN AIR ATTACK
LONDON, Jan. 21. Although the news
papers are minimizing the importance of
the Zeppelin raid over the Norfolk
coast, in which four persons were
killed and 31 wounded, the British War
Office Is taking more drastic measures
to safeguard London against attack from
the air. The use of lights for outside
advertising purposes or for the illumina
tion of shop windows Is now prohibited
entirely. Houses must be darkened and
automobiles must not carry headlights.
Instead, small red HghtH will be placed
upon the rear of motor cars and other
vehicles, and the drivers are warned to
move slowly and cautiously througli the
streets at night.
THREE ZEPPELIN CRAFT
TOOK PART IN ATTACK
LONDON, Jan. 21.
It Is now established that there were
three Zeppllns In the raiding fleet. They
flew together until about 30 miles from the
British coast, whet) they separated, one
going toward Yarmouth, another toward
Cromer and the third toward Sheringhnm.
The British Government is considering
the possibility of lodging a protest with
neutral nations on the ground that Ger
many violated the neutrality of Holland,
because the raiding aircraft passed over
the Frisian Island group of Dutch Islands,
The newspapers contlnuo to publish the
most violent attacks against German).
The Dally Express says:
"The Germans are not soldiers and
have no right t- he treated as soldiers
They are the Apaches of this war-"
The Times says: "Thev German Gov
ernment and the German, people alike
have made it clear to the world in a
hundred ways that they are ready to
commit any outrage and they do not pur
pose to obey the laws of God or man."
Most of the papers now refer to the
Germans as "baby killers."

PETROGRAD, Jan. 21. The Turkish re
treat from the Caucasus has become al
most a rout, according to official reports
received here today. In their precipitate
flight toward Erzerum, portions of the
Turkish forces nro becoming disorganized
and their rear guard is falling Into the
hands of the Russian cavalry advance.
In a series of such engagements with
the remnants of the retreating Turkish
army tho Russians have captured
"numerous prlsoncis," today's official

Gerard Criticised for Attending Pro

LONDON. Jan. 21. The report from

Kmhassy staff attended a meeting of the
so-called American Luncheon Club, In
Berlin, and listened to nntl-Brltlsh vitu
perations by Doctor Kaempf, president of
the Reichstag, has oicasloned widespread
comment in diplomatic circles here,
It Is not only that British sensitiveness
Is offended by the Ambassador's presence
at this sort of gathering, but the fact
that the procedure of American diplomacy
in Berlin appoars to be so opposed to the
procedure followed by American diplo
matists here.
Is the American Embassy in Berlin
Initiating a new school of diplomacy?''
asked a well-known atUche here. "Are
America's foreign representatives In oth
er European capitals to follow hence
forth tho lead from Berlin or to take
their model from the Court of St. James?
"Walter Illnes Page has refused cate
gorically to do precisely what Mr. Gerard
Is reported as having done."

DANIEL GUGGENHEIM
STARTLES HEARERS
BY RADICAL VIEWS
"Socialistic," He Says at U.

Unionism and Profit-sharing

JOHN EDWIN NEVIN
NEW YORK, Jan. 21. "Every worker
In the United States Is entitled to a Job
and the Government should see thnt ho
gets it. As a matter of nctual right, tho
worker is entitled. In addition to elekness
Insurance, to old-age pensions, and above
nit, to a. sharo In the protlts resulting
from his lnbor."
This wns the sentiment expressed today
by Daniel Guggenheim, millionaire min
ing nnd smelter king, to the Federal In
dustrial Relations Commission. Guggen
heim was nn amazing witness; In fact,
eo radical In certain of his views as to
cause audible wonder from certain parts
of the audience.
lie openly characterized his own vlowa
an socialistic. He said he believed a
better day for industry Is dawning In
tho United States because employers nt
last are realizing that thoy must bo more
fair to their employes. Envy ho char
acterized na the great canker nffectlng
tho body politic, and ho Bald he sympa
thized with the worker who was envi
ous. Tho smelter king declared ho
fnvorcd trades unionism as a general
pioposltlon, although he maintained the
"open shop" In his own properties.
TELLS OF "UPLIFT WORK."
"Until a year and a half ago," he sold,
"conditions wcro met by us as they nrose,
but wo found that wo wero not doing nil
wo should for our workmen, I folt we
should Iioubo our men better, provide
benefits and pension funds for them In
order to get a higher degree of efficiency,
nnd we decided to obtain some one who
could meet Just such a situation. So we
engaged Dr. C. P, Noll, former labor
commissioner, nnd he hna charge of our
general uplift work."
The benefit plan has not yet been put
Into effect, Guggenheim said, as it has
Just been suggested to the directors. In
every State where thero are compensa
tion laws, he said, his company has
adopted them.
"At our Perth Amboy, N. J., plant, we
lire Insuring our men's lives as an experi
ment," said Guggenheim. "We do this at
our own expense, nnd If the plan works
out as wa expect It to, we will make It
universal."
When asked what were the causes of
strikes at his Perth Amboy plant, Gug
genheim said:
"Generally speaking, the high cost of
living and general dissatisfaction with
surrounding conditions, I have great
sympathy with the worker and know that
frequently hlfl wages nro too low to meet
the constantly Increasing cost of living."
BELIEVES IN "ORGANIZATION.
Guggenheim declared that he believed
In the right of workers to organize for
self-protection.
"Tho capitalist frequently Is a very ar
bitrary Individual who InsUtts on his own
way," he declared. "Of course, so Is
labor when It gets stubborn. I am afraid
that Industrial unrest Is Increanlg In the
United States. Tht Is due to the Increas
ing cost of living, I do not believe there
haa been too much legislation. I think'
there should be many more laws enacted
along humane lines. We are fur behind
the enlightened European nations In our
legal system for tho workers.
"I don't think increasing wages will
end strikes. The workers want more
than money. They want better sur
roundings, They want more, of the com
forts of life. But we can't do everything
at once. Both capital and labor must
,make concessions, and the Federal and
State Governments must help along with

E, J. Berwlnd, one of the biggest coal
optratora In tho United Stales, another

maximum work day In that Industry
should be of nthe hours. He said that
while his properties were not unionised,
they paid ' the union wage scale. Ho
complained that his men would work
only about 19 days a month.
"Thero are holidays, funerals, pay days
and the day after pay day," he said,
"and the result Is that wa havo never

J. P. MORGAN TO APPEAR LATER.
Becnttse his presenco was needed ln

Morgan was not Interrogated by the Com
mission. It was stated, however, thnt he
will be called later.
The commission plans to have him tell
of the relationships between directorates
ot large corporations and their employes.
The commission hopes that Morgan may
be able to suggest soma plan for decreas

BRITISH WARSHIPS
READY TO SWOOP ON
COTTON SHIP DACIA
Cruiser Bristol and Another
War Craft Await Sailing.
Expected Seizure to Set
Precedent.
HAVANA, Jan. 21. It was learned here
today that the British cruiser Bristol and
the collier Ridley, which had been lying
off Havana for several days suddenly
stenmed off toward Key West, nt full
speed, yesterday, returning late in the ai
tornoon. It Is reported that the Bristol nnd un
other Britisher are awaiting In the chan
nel for the steamship Dacla, now ready
to sail from Galveston, Texas, with a
cargo of cotton for Germany, via Rotter
dam. LONDON, Jan. 21. Definite Information
ns to tho sailing of the Dacla still Is
unobtainable here, but the Interest taken
In the case remains unabated, Yester
day's Cabinet meeting Is said to havo
been concerned with n reported reply
from the United States trtate Department
to tho statement forwarded last Friday
by tho Foreign Office.
It seems to be still taken for. gi anted
that the Dacla will be arrested nnd taken
beforo a prize court. The ofllctal conten
tion bore is that the onus of proof as to
the legality of her transfer from the Ger
mnn to the Amerlcnn flag rests with her
purchaser.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The United
States Government has decided to ignore
tho protest of tho British Government
regarding the status of tne steamship
Dacla, nnd will Issue an Insurance policy
on tho cargo of the vessel.
T. W. Lamar, representing E. N. Brcl
tung, the New York banker, the owner of
tho Dacla, was In Washington today In
conference wltYi Secretary of tho Treas
ury McAdoo, Assistant Secretary Peters
and the members of the War Risk In
surance Bureau. Mr. Lamar said it was
the intention to have the Dacla sail with
in the next two days. Ho asked for in
surance of the cargo nnd this was agreed
upon.
The Dacla, which was purchnsed from
the Hainburg'-Amerlcan Line, has on
board a cargo of cotton valued at about
$700,(00. In assuming tho risk of Insur
ance the Government will charge 3 per
cent premium on the cargo, or $21,000.
The vessel Itself will not bo Insured by
the Government, as It Is generally under
stood that a private concern has already
contracted to assume any risk In this
regard.
