AMSTERDAM. Dec 9. - The Cologne

The Magdeiburg Zeltung denounces the
usury, Immorality, licentiousness and de
generate love of luxury that prevail, and
invokes the '"I-ord God of German his
tory to aid In preventing calamity from
overwhelming our country."
The Berliner Tageblatt declares: "Those
who would deny the statement that the
German people are In danger of being
wholly submerged beneath an extraordi

Thli decision, it l said, may be re

PARIS, Deo. 9 Tho Teutons have in
augurated new tactics In tho Ualk.ins.
consisting of the employment of a
minimum of troops and a maximum of
artillery. Thoy are economizing on
human material, which It takes 20 jcars
to produce, wholly reling on their big
guns' which their shops seem able to
supply in inexhaustible abundance.
It Is certain that Kleld Marshal vnn
Mockensen had not mnro than ITo.O.iO

but they had artillery sulllcleiit for
1,000,0011 men, according to tho pre-war
theory. The'j employed live guns wheio
onlv one would have been used In pie
vloiis wars The result was the Teutonic
Infantry seldom eamo In contact with the
Serbs, who were deluged with shells and
were unable to display their traditional
bravery.
The lesson of the Serbian campaign
Is that Gormanv, realizing that she Is at
tho end of her resources In mon, now
hopes to crush the Allies by tho sheer

Vigorous Protest Rejects Vien
na's Previous Explanation
and Galls for Action
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.
Ofllclali today were waiting action by
Austria on tho demand that she disavow
the sinking of tho Ancona with a very
pessimistic feeling. There was a general
belief in Administration circles that tho
Central Teutonic Power would decline, at
least at tho outset, to meet the views of
the United Slates In this respect. The
demand, which Is coucliiil In peremptory
language demanding dlcaxowal, repara
tion and promises Hint the rules or civ
ilized warfare will be onsen ed In the
future, wns expected to bo presented to
the Austrian Torelgn Olllro today by Am
bassador 1'enlleld. It will require tlueo
davn before he cm get word to the State
Department how the aote was tccolttd
owing to the Interruption of communica
tion between Uerno and Vienna.
It Is frankly slated nt tho Stato De
partment that bo far as this Ooyern
ment Is concerned It will be satisfied
with nothing but tho comp etc ac-
ninnro of Its demands. The I'resiueni
hns taken the position
that Austria
knew this Government's position. "
enunciated in the correspondence with
aermanr. And that therefore the sink
n" of the Ancona was ft flagrnnt viola
tion of the principles of International
taw.
If Austria doo not meet tho position
of tho United Stales It Is considered cer
tain that diplomatic relations will be
broken off.
Demands made on Austria nre:
That tho Government disavow the act;
That reparation and Indemnity be given
Americans concerned; ...
That assurances be given that there
will bo no repetition of such warfare;
That tho submnrine commander guilt)
of tho attack bo punished.
