this ceng re as "It will be done, not,1 be
cause those who vote for It favor It, but

Weeks, who today resumed his attack on
the bill. Senator Weeks denied that ha
sought to filibuster.
While senate republicans continued their
fight on the bill, democratic leaders
sought to reach .an agreement on pro

may complete' the revision of tho bill to

"I belleva there are possibilities of

HKFORK SOISHONk Jan. 1K.-Ry
Courier to Herlln. Jan. So--Via Iondon.
Jan. 21. -The cIrM duvs' battle across
the river from Holssons, known as the bat
tle of Soissons. resulted In a victory for
the German after n terrible slaughter on
both sii'es. heKiin January S.
A severe bombardment from field guns
and heavy artillery was followed by a
French charge The Grmnns could not
make nn effective defense against this
onslaught. The French with great dash
carried part of the German positions, but
hy their success they dampened the vigor
of their nrtllWrry bombardment, which
could not be continued without emlanger
Ing their own men.
Open Heavy Fire.
The German guns. In turn, opened a
heavy fire on the rearward communica
tions of the French, preventing the bring
ing up of reinforcements. A desperate
hand-to-hand struggle, on fairly even
terms, raged for four days and nights in
the valley and on the woodedi spur
crowned by the shot-wrecked buildings of
!aPerrlre farm. Neither side was able
to gain a decisive advantage.
General von Kluck meanwhile gathered
his forces for a 'counter stroke, 'which
came, not through the valley, but across
the high plateau to the eastward, a large
part of which was held by the French.
The surface of the plateau, which Is fairly
level, was crossed hy row after row of
deep trenches, eseh trench with a clear
field for the fire of Its guns.
Defenses of the Prrsek,
It seems Impossible In the cool light of
day and after the passing of the excite
ment of battle to conceive of troops suc
cessfully storming such entrenched posi
tions. The Associated Press correspondent
counted In some places as many, as five
successive lines of permanent French
trenches, eachr with Its entanglements of
barbed wire supported on Iron posts,
which were screwed Into the ground.
Pioneers might cut their way through
the first entanglement before the general
attack, but It was necessary for the
others to make- the advenoe aernsa the
exposed positions tinder fire., Jho at
tackers, however, were General von
Klurk's veterans, who. after the famous
dash on Paris, tho battle of the Marne
and the . retirement to the Alsne, had
been remaining hare In comparative In
activity since the middle of Heptember.
Jtieep Aeresa Plateaa.
They succeeded somehow In sweeping
across the plateau, first In the enter
and then January IS on the left or east
ern flank, carrying trench after trench
by storm In an uninterrupted and Ir
resistible attack. By nightfall of
January IS they had driven the french
from the plateau. Oh the following day
they cleared the FrencH from the valley
below and drove them across the river.
The victory waa completed by an advance
through the valley on that same day.
The earlier operations made this com
paratively easy; In fact, many of the
French had no alternative hut to sur
render as the only path of escape, over
which a retreat might hare been at
tempted, was commanded completely
from the plateau above.
Where Dead Reeled.
The correspondent resched the battle
field over the turnpike leading from
Holesons, approaching by automobile
as far as the villas nf ivi.

MJ.NDON, Jan. 13. -France is now com

France Is no longer able to draw coal

Consequently the residents of northern

GERMAN REPORT ON
PROGRESS OF WAR
Spirited Engagements of Local
Character in Progress on the
Western Front'
SMALL VICTORY IN PRUSSIA
fcERMN. Jan. Jl.-(Fy Wireless to
'LONDON.) Although spirited fighting
Is In progress along the western battle
j front, the offrlal statement from the
German war office today shows that these
engagements are merely of a local char
acter. The French made repeated at
tacks near Arras and south of St. Mlhlel,
but were repulsed. The Germans cap
tured trenches near Berry -au-Bac and
Pont-A-Mouseon. but lost ground In tns
neighborhood of Notre Dame D I.or
ette. A defeat of the Russians In a small
i engagement In East Prussia also Is an
nounced. -1
The text of the statement follows:
"In the western theater of wsr only
artillery duels took place yesterday be
tween the coast and the Lys. Trenches
at Notre Dame de Loretta, whclh we oc
cupied on the day before yesterday, were
lost again today.
"Northeast of Arras, the French re
peatedly attacked both sides of tho high
road from Arras to LMIe, but were re
pulsed. Southwest of Herry-Au-Bae we
! took two trenchea rom the French and
kept them, notwithstanding thmlr fierce
counter attacks.
"French attacks on our position! south
of M. Mlhlel were repulsed. Northwest
of l'unt-A-Mousson W4 succeeded In re
capturing the positions we evacuated
three days ago. In that vicinity our troops
captured four cannon and several pris
oners. Fighting still continues tor the re
mainder of the lost trenches.
In the Vosges, northeast of Sennehelm,
battles still proceed.
"The situation In oast Prussia remains
the same. An unimportant engagement to
the east of Ltpnoe ended favorably for
us. One hundred prisoners remained In
our hands.
McKellar Says War
Policy of America
Is Reasonable One
WASHINGTON, Jan. M.-There la not
the remotest possibility of Japan under
taking a war rlth the United States and
there never was a time when this coun
try was less likely to have any war than
now, In Uie opinion of Representative
McKellar, as expressed In the course of
debate on the army appropriation bill In
tho house today. .
"When the Philippines achieve Inde
pendence we will have obliterated all
possibility of war, because no nation
will undertake to bring troops so far
across the sea," said Mr. McKellar.
"Do you recall," asked Representative
Kahn of California, "that in 1KM the
United Btates had a war with a com
paratively decadent country and that
Spain handed the American minister fall
passports?" . .
"Yes," replied Mr. McKeller. "and
when war was declared we were not
within l.om per cent as woll prepared as
we are today. Tho policy of the United
States today a rational, reasonable policy
of steady building up of our defenses,
without undue excitement. Is the very
best policy. The fact that other, nations
are engaged In war Is no reason why
we hysterically should fasten an Immense
stsndlng army on the people without ex
pecting any use of It."
