BERLIN. Dec. 11. (By Wireless to
.Sayvllle. 1 I.) The proposal of Pope
Bencdlot for a truce among the warring
nations during the Christmas holidays Is
eald by the official prers bureau today
n nave wen declined by llussia. i
The German prers bureau prevlotmly I
announced that Germany was "willing to I
agree to a Christmas truce, provided the j
other nations at war gave their assent.
The latest reports from the fighting i
10 he around Lods. according to Informa-
tlon given out by the German official
press bureau today, show that the resist
ance of tbe Russians in that region Is by
no means broken.
The new Russian positions on Mlaxga
cut, are only twelve or thirteen miles to
the eastward of Lodz, which demon
strates. It is said, that much yet remains
to be done before the Russians can be
considered definitely defeated.
Gala Added Slgalflcaace. .
"In these circumstances," the German
statement says, "the battles in the vicin
ity of Lewies, to Jhe northeast of Lods,
have gained added significance. If the
Germans succeed in breaking through
here the positions of the Russians behind
Mlazga will be untenable.
"The report from south Poland does not
mention the place where the A us tro--German
attack's on the Russians hjf been
resumed, but It probably ( at a point to
the . south of Ptotrkow. These attacks
serve the purpose, of preventing the Rus
sians from detaching forces to assist
their' armies further to the north. These
attacks, as well as those of the Austrlans
In the south, thus far bar led to no
definite result.

"Advices received . her from Budapest
say that another attempt of the Russians
to enter the Hungarian province of Zamp
Un has been frustrated." : , , .
- "Telegrams from Turkey announoe the

which Is a further step toward the Invest
ment of the Russian fortified seaport of
Batum from the land side, and that the
communications of the Russians between

valley have been cut."

the Milwaukee road,- pioneer of the statu
and city and prominent business man,
after an Illness continuing over several
weeks, died at his home, 504 South Twenty-seventh
street at 4:60 o'clock Friday

ago. However,, long after this, he was
up and not longer than three weeks ago
be was down town.
Borne weeks ago, when he resigned the
presidency of the Omaha Electrio Light
and Power company, he and his friends
felt that his recovery was certain and
that he would go to California or Florida
during the cold weather of winter and
that he would return In the spring a well
man.
, Starts as Brakeunaa.
Born at Akron, O., April 27, 1848, Mr.
Nash had been a resident of Omaha slnoe
1887. His early education was secured In
the Akron sobools, and when 16 years of
age he went to the Pennsylvania oil
fields, where he filled a position as clerk
for a year and then started west, Ne
braska being his objective point At thai
time, though but a boy, he made up hlz
mind that he would be a railroad man.
Shortly after coming to Omaha, he ap
plied for a 'position as brakeman on the
Union Pacific and for a few months
worked on a freight train. Shortly after
ward he waa promoted to the position ot
brakeman ' on, one of the Union Pacific
passenger trains, and In less than a yeat
became conductor.

Japanese Warships
Seek German Cruiser
TOKIO, Dec. 11. According to reliable
Information . reaching Tokio today a
squadron ot Japanese warships is seeking
the German converted cruiser Prlns Eltel
Fried rich off the coast of Chile.
The steamer Prlns Eltel. Frtedrlch be
longs to the North German Lloyd com
pany. Early In the war guns were
mounted on board of It and It ws trsn
ferred Into an auxiliary cruiser. Re
cently It 'baa been active off the coast
of Chile, and one of Its most reoent ex
ploits was the sinking early lu uvivux-ber-
of the British steamer Charcaa off
Port Corral, Chile.
WASHINGTON. Dec. ll.-The dominat
ing necessity of dreadnoughts to main
tain the strength of tbe nation at sea,
with submarine boats - and submarine
mines as minor essentials, was empha
slsed today by Secretary panlels before
the house naval committee. Be declared
that if a foreign foe came to attack the
United States, the battleships would first
be relied upon, and then would com the
submarines and mines.
Mr.- Daniels reiterated that the Euro
pean .war so far bad demonstrated the
wisdom of the naval program outlined
!or this session of congress.
"Battleships,", be said, "are the only
ships we can rely on to oommand the
rv"Vnnvs today," aatd Secretary Da,
'.els, "more and larger, speedier, mora Imj
proved battleships, than ever before,-with
greater tonnage than ever before We
have more guns, much larger and better,
with greater range than, ever before and
ar greater destructive power. Undoubt
edly we have more complete auxiliary
oraft, submarines, torpedo boats and more
submarines, much better coast defense,
more men than ever before, and the men
are far more efficient,, better educated
and more completely equipped than In all
the history of the country."
The, naval strength In the Paclflo was
taken up. Secretary Daniels testified
there were no dreadnoughts there, and
the Oregon, now being put again in com
mission, and more titan twenty years old,
was the only battleship there. lie told
of the cruisers, gunboats and torpedo boat
flotilla there. , -
"Do you regard tSe Paclflo coast -defenses
adequate for war?" asked Repre
sentative Stephens of California.
"Oh. no."
Mr. Stephens then asked If with no war
craft of any Importance on the Pacltio
the secretary would feel safe. The sec
retary replied that one of the purposes
of building the Panama canal was to
enable the dispatch of war vessels
thrugh It-
"Tou can get the fleet through the
canal very easily, which greatly increases
the value of our iy." b said!
"Don t you think' an enemy oould de
liver severe. blow ft the,. PaeUlo coast
before 'w could get ship from the At
lantic T"
' "An enemy," replied the secretary,
"would have to run the gauntlet of 'our
submarines In the Philippines and
Hawaii and then be obstructed by ' the
vessels now on the Pacific long enough
for the stronger fleet to arrive." He
added he would be against dividing the
Atlantic fleet now to augment the Paclflo
protection.
"In case of war do you not believe there
should be some battleships there T"
With these new battleships coming In
commission," he replied, "we should be
able to have some of them on the Pa
cific at least part of the time not a
division of the fleet but in some way
so as not to have either coast unpro
tected by battleships."

Cablegrams.
LONDON. Dec. ll.-The secretary of the
admiralty haa received a cable dispatch
from Vice Admiral Sturdee of the British
squadron stating that In the battle oft
tbe Falkland Islands in which the Ger
man cruisers Scharnhorst, Gnelsenau and
Leipzig were sunk, the British casualties
totaled seven men killed and four wounded.
No officers, the dispatch says, were
either killed or wounded.
BEltUN. Dee. 11. (Via Amsterdam
and Ixmdon) A German semi-official
statement was given out here today re
garding the naval battle off the Falk
land Islands December 8, when the Ger
man cruiser squadron commanded by
Admiral Count Von Spec waa defeated
by a British squadron under Vice Ad
miral Sir Frederick Doveton .Sturdee.
The loss of the cruisers, Scharnhorst,
Oueiaenau and Leipzig la conceded by
the Germans and little hope waa held
out that the cruisers Dresden and Num
ber g could long evade capture. The state
ment reads:
Steam Southward.
i "Regarding the naval battle off the
Falkland Islands It transpires that our
rrulser squadron soon after the battle
with Sir Christopher Cradock's ships oft
Coronel, put Into the harbor of Santiago
de Chile and left there after a stay of
less than twenty-four hours for an un
known destination. It Is assumed that
the squadron steamed southward to
seek the British battleship Canopus and
the light cruiser Glasgow.
Meanwhile It appears from the English
newspapers a very strong British squad
ron was despatched to search for and to
destroy our orulser squadron. Nothing
certain Is yet known by us cenoerntng
the battle. It Is reasonable to conclude,
however, that the Scp&rnhorst, Gaelaenau
and Leipzig were sunk while the Dree,
den and the Numburg succeeded In es
caping. - , . i . . ;
Little Chane of Escape. ,
i ''In view ot - the ' superiority of th
enemy's fleet, which consists particularly
ot big, fast, well armed . ships, there
seems little chance that our two- ornlsers
can long evade pursuit We must, there
fore, also reckon with the loss of both
these ships.
"It Is hardily to be expected that ac
curate Information will be given from
British sources of the course of the con
flict or of the composition of the British
squadron. '
Kept lea for Foar Months.
"It should not be forgotten that our
squadron was four months on the high
seas and that without being able to make
use of cablegrams or other means of In
formation, it assembled and dealt a heavy
blow to the 'enemy's fleet. No protected
harbor was at the disposal of our ships
for most necessary repairs and there was
no dock for the cleaning of their keels.
They succeeded, neverthleeaa. In getting
supplies of provisions and coal for- four
months without falling Into the enemy's
hands." , r
The British official statement announc
ing that the German cruiser Nurnberg
also had been sunk an December 8, ap
parently had not been made public In Ber
lin when the foregoing sunl-offlclal com
munication was Issued. '

Establishment of
Farm Credits Most
Important of All
ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Deo. lL-Farm wealth
of the United States, estimated at 840,
000,000,008, should be 'the basis on which
the prosperity' of the country rests per
manently, yet there Is no adequate law
In existence under which to flnanoe the
farm. , This was the condition disclosed
here today at the Interstate Agricultural
Congress by W. C. Brown, former presi
dent of the New York Centra! railroad
and now an Iowa fajmer.
"The establishment of farm credits Is
one of the most Important questions now
before the nation," Mr. Brown said.
"The farmer Is now paying twice the In
terest he should. Long time loans at m
low rate would enable the farmer to
properly finance his work, and It Is this
financing upon which depends to a large
degree the future prosperity of the
country."
Ms, Brown said the people should en
dorse President Wilson's plan for a land
bank.

scribed aa "the friend of the cow," also
spoke.
