REFUGEES OVERRUN THE, HAGUE, WRITES RESIDENT Letter Received in This City Tells How Released Prisoners and Fleeing Min ers Are Giving Holland Much Diffi culty A glimpse of u side of the European war which is little known to Americans is given it a letter received in the eity to-Jay from the American wife of a physician of The Hague, w ho has been in that country for 25 years. The horrors of contact with prison ers suddenly released from the peni tentiary and the vicious element of the Belgian mines brought in close relation with men and women of the business walks of life are vividly pictured. The writer also expresses a doubt as to there being a lastiug peace, if any. Her leltet was made public at head quarters of the Home and War Relief Committee, 7 South Front street, and reads, in part, as follows: "The misfortunes of the stranded Americans this last sr.mmer really gave me a new life, for 1 was down low in my mind, and to be able to speak a lot of "good American' and to hear i! sjave me a tine "boost' into, or rather out of, the winter's -nists and rain that has been incessant for weeks. • "Our eity still is overrun with refu gees. The streets and cafes are tilled with French-speaking people. Thea tres, ditto. Among the poorer lot that have to be held in check, we have very unpleasant times, l fer.r we soon shall be given the reputation the allies gave the Germans — murderers —for the au thorities are obliged to use strong meas ures to hold these refugees in control. ' • Last week there was a big upris ing in Zeist. where many thousands are 'encamped—because they did not wajit to be under arrest, that is. under con trol. but wanted to be about as they likeu. The authorities were obliged to shoot eleven leaders. This has made a big stir, of course. These people who walked over from Antwerp, were a dreadful lot. First, the officers of pris ons simplv tied. The inmates escaped and we have most of them as •guests,' and they want to do as they please. In Zeland tfcev have mostly 'the boat' people of Antwerp, and the drinking is something frightful. "Bows —not police enough to take the men in change—the outside world can scarcely understand what Holland has had to deal with. I think the American government would do well to take a lot of them away to the mines in America, for there are hundreds of miners here. Coal is scare and dear because there are no miners in Belgium to work the mines. '"Business there in small directions, such as shops, really goes on nicely. Mr. is now in Brussels —will be back before Christmas, when I shall hear a lot of Belgian news. "The armies move slowly. The Ger mans hold their own, but advance very slowly. We get very little news we can depend upon from the west lines. In East Prussia and Poland there is fight ing which we hear of, as you surely do, also. "Germany now has nearly one mil lion prisoners to feed. Surely the Unit ed States should insist on their having food come to them. How can Germany feed them if she gets short for her own people It is all horrible, and I cannot sleep often, thinking about it. You must come over some time if the worW ever sees peace again." Paying out more than $l5O yester day to women who had sewed for war sufferers, the Home Relief division es tablished a record for handling ap plicants. Incidentally, the supplies divi sion broke all previous records for is suing supplies, though it ran short be fore the day was over. The Foreign Re lief division sent away a box for ship ment to Belgian sufferers, mainly con sisting of shawls and sabot linings, skirts and warm woolens for children!

M.—The French official statement given out this afternoon shows that the artillery ex changes on the battle front in France have not diminished in severity or fre quency. Various places are mentioned where artillery fighting lias taken place. At some no results are given, while at others the French claim successes, as, for instance, at Steinbach, iu Alsace. The statement claims the repulse of six German infantry attacks at a point be tween the Meuse and the Moselle, aud says that French aviators have as sailed from the air the railroad station at Metz. The text of the communica-. tion follows-: "From the sea to Rheinis there was yesterday hardly anything more than artillery engagements. The enemy bombarded without result the village of St. Georges and the head of the bridge position organised bv the Belgians at a point south of Dixnmde. "Spirited cannonading resulted ad vantageously for us bet we*n l»a Bas see and Careney; between Albert and Hove: in the region of Verneetil and in the neighborhood of Blanc Sablou, which is near Craonne. At this last mentioned point we also demolished certain German earthworks. . "In the region of Perthes aiul of Beause.iour we have held the gains makie bv us on December 30. During all the day of December 31 the activity of the opjiosing artillery forces was in terrupted. "lii the Argonne the enemy attack ed violently almost the entire front in the forest of l.a Oniric. At certain points he advanced for a distance of fifty yards, but counter attacks were at once delivered. In the region of Ver dun there have been violent artillery engagements. "Between the Jleuse and the Mo selle to the northwest of Flirev, the Germans delivered, during the night of December 30-31 and on the morning of the 31st, no less than six violent counter attacks for the purpose of re taking the trenches captured by us on December 30. Each of these attacks was brilliantly repulsed. "Our aviators bombardetl at night the railroad stations at Metz'and at Arnaville. "We continue to make progress foot by foot in Steinbaeh. Here the artil lery of the enemy showed great activ ity during the morning of December 31 but in the afternoon on this day our batteries won a distinctive advantage."

"Except in its lower reaches, the j main Susquehanna is frozen, while the tributaries in this basin are covered | with ice, varying in thickness from six ! to sixteen inches.

M.—The publication in London of the text of the American note to the British gov ernment on the question of unwarrant ed interference with American shipping has dispelled any irritation occasioned by the incomplete sentences in the first summary of the communication cabled from the United States. There were cer tain Englishmen who saw something like an ultimatum in the cable*! ex tracts, but a perusal of the actual con text of these particular phases has dis pelled this conception. The Pall Mu'l "Gazette" to-day voices the genera! opinion when it says: . "We could perhaps place our finger on certain contentions advanced in the' note which show some faitore to ap preciate the difficulties of our position, •but it is not our business to chop logic witih the government of the I'nite I States. Sir Edward Grey may be trust ed to give the government of President Wilson nil the satisfaction it can prop erly ask, while at the same time indi coifing the courtesy and firmness the measures our position as a belligerent Power compel us to continue. The gov ernment of the United States has shown every disposition to put itself in our •place and recognize our difficulties. Our government will not show itself to be less fair minded than th»t of President Wilson. Short of sacrificing our best weapon of bringing tfhe war to a suc cessful and speedy end. nothing will bo left undone to meet the wishes of the United States." NOW 578,713 PRISONERS OF WAR HELD IN GERMANY Berlin, Jan. 1, Via Wireless to Uon don. 12.30 A. M. —The total number of prisoners of war held in Germany at the end of the year amounts to S3S officers aud 577,875. This is shown in a summary issued from headquarters ten,lav which poiuts out that the list does not include civil ians interned in Germany nor the pris oners taken during the pursuit in Rus sian Poland or those intransport. Of the above total the French con tribute 3,459 officers, including seven generals and 251,950 men; the Rus sians, 3.575 officers, of whom 18 aro generals and :i01»,290 men; the Bel gians, til 2 officers, including three gen erals and 36,852 men and the British, 493 officers and 18,828 men. Heaidiquarters takes occasion to say that the report that 1,140 German of ficers and 134,700 men are prisoners of war in_ Russia is misleading since this list includes interned civilians. Probably not more than tifteeen per cent, of the total are military prison ers, it is declared. LATE WAR SUMMARY Continued From First Pace. government's avowed intention of treat ing the question in the same friendly spirit as is shown by the Ainerlan gov ernment, an amicable adjustment speed ily will be arranged. Emperor William in a stirring address to his soldiers and sailors on the first day of the new year, refers to the bril liant German victories since the open ing of hostilities and then lays em phasis on the~ statement that every at tempt of the enemies of the fatherland to enter upon German territory in nu merical strength has failed. Behind the army and the fleet is the German nation. His Majesty declared, prepared for ev ery sacrifice to protect the country from outrageous invasion. In conclusion the Emperor calls upon his people to face the new year unflinchingly and to win new victories for the fatherland. As the year 1015 opens, after five months of hostility in the great war, the fighting both in the eastern and the western arenas is going on without de cisive results for either side. There has been no material let up with the advent of severe winter weath er in the determination and severity of the encounters. In Poland there are to day active hostilities between Germans and Russians between Vistula and Pilica rivers and along the battle line in France, from the sea to Switzerland, there are almost continuous exchanges of artillery fire or infantry charges against trenches followed by desperate counter attcks. Neither is aerial ac tivity being neglected. Only yesterday four German aeroplanes dropped bombs on the French channel port of Dun kirk. There are in Germany to-day after approximately 150 days of hostilities no fewer than 586,000 military prisoners of war. These include over 8,100 offi cers, among whom are found 28 gen erals. Russian prisoners are the most numerous, with nearly 310,000 officers and men. The American note to the British government on unwarranted interfer ence with American commerce to neu tral countries has met with a favorable reception in Italy. Italy confronts a similar situation in the matter of her own commerce, and she is hopeful that the steps taken by Washington will re sult in clearing up the contraband ques tion for herself and other neutrals as well as for the United States. CZAR V ISITS ARMY FROM AND CONFEKS INSIGNIA OF HONOR Petrograd, Dec. 31.—Emperor Nich olas visited the Army front.
