days of cold, wet weather have been fol

Mlddelkerke, Thourout, Thlelt, Roulera

Is now crusted wlfh a thin coating of Ice,
which supports large colonies of hungry

On the other side of the inundated
country, safely entrenche.1 behind frozen

French guns. The soldiers there, on ac
count of direct communication with
France and England, are well cared for,
while the Germans are handicapped by
being obliged to requisition supplies from
the devastated country, where the popu

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Charges by
Germany that England and France are
violating the declaration of London, pre
viously presented by the Berlin foreign
office to Ambassador Gerard and rep
resentatives of other neutrals were pub
lished today from the embassy here. The
paper says Germany has thus far strictly
observed the declaration of Ixmdon and
has not changed Its attitude despite "the
flagrant violations committed by Ita ad
versaries." and adds:- -- . J . r
"However, the imperial government
must now study the question whether
It will be able to continue to maintain
the above attitude, if tha enemy powers
abide by the procedure observed by them
and If the neutral powers allow such vio
lations of the principles of neutrality to
go on, to the deterlmcnt of German In
terests. "Tho imperial German government con
siders It. therefore, of Interest to learn
which position the neutral powers Intend
to take toward the attitude adopted by
Great Britain and France contrary to
international law, and particularly
whether it Is their intention to take
measures against the acts of violence
committed on board their merchant ves
sels against German subjects and Ger
man property."

of view.
In Herlln It la said the outcome
of the main battle with the Rus

the whole European struggle. A
decisive triumph In the east. It Is
pointed out, would free part of
the German army engaged there

Unofficial reports from Fetro

continuing their advance In East
Prussia and have raptured Guru

miles from Koentgsberg. Accord
ing to all accounts the main battle,
between the Vistula and Warta
rivers Is still In progress, and al
though the Germans are pressing
forward steadily, the Russian
army Is still offering determined
resistance.
In the west, the fighting In Bel

several days on account of the
weather, has broken out with re
newed ferocity at Ypres, with the
artillery playing the main part.
London suggests that this may be
the prelude to another German at

NEW YORK. Nov. 23. (Special Tele-
'j'gram to The Omaha Bee.) Mrs. William
Leonard Davis, who returned to New
York from her residence in Paris aome
weeks ago, has received from Baron Von
Roeder, a member of the household of
Kaiser Wllhelra of Germany, a letter,
part of which she believed may be pub
lished with propriety. Were this pub
lished in Germany it mlftbt be considered
to reflect the views of the kaiser Instead
of the personal views of one friend given
to another.
The communication, which waa for
warded through ligatid, in part fol
lows: "Germany, having gathered a splendid
harvest, and having an enormous supply
of cattle, is able (once the supply of
cattle, corn and potatoes is Mopped from
abroad) to supply Itself without foreign
Importation.
Trad Nat Seat Off.
"There is no doubt that the German
trade suffera through an Inability to ex
port goods, but the Income of the em
pire is thus cut off to the extent of 20
per cent only. Though the countries
across the sea are cloied to tt, it has a
brisk trade with the neutral statts.
It is true that many men have been
called to the front, but there are plenty
left for agricultural purpoaea and In event
there is need for workmcu there Is little
doubt that Germany wilt use the 600,000
prisoners of war. Moreover, the German

war loan, which could not be forced on
Germany and waa not-waa expected to
bring 1,000,000.000 marki, but instead it
brought 4,600,000.00. Indeed many persons,
who wished to subscribe could not. as
they applied too late.
"When I was in Brlln recently, I
wondered at the great life and great
animation on the streets and at tho gen
eral aspect of the city, which was as
neat and well kept as ever. I had read
In the newspapers that the town waa in
a atate of gloom and depression.' but I
found all the cafes and restaurants doing
a brisk business and tbe taxi cabs aa
numerous as ever. It U a truth that
some of the smart rents urants are quiet,
but they always are at this season.

"I waa astonished to see so many
healthy and strong looking men In the
streets, in spite of the fact that millions
have been called to arm. All this does
not look to me as though Germany could
be starved out or obliged to make peace.
I am undr the linpraai'n that th? Eng
lish public has no knowledge of the real
tate of uf fairs. I wUii them to know
that In my opinion, and in that of a great
many persons, who r nut Germans,
that victory over the Fatherland is not

While their little daughter played with

Mrs. Walter Sammons took the witness

and told a straightforward story to the
effect that only once had Sammons been

and that was Just to wait on one of tha
children. The prosecution sprang a sur
prise by not challenging her testimony,
although authorities have held that a wife
Is an Incompetent witness when the hus

cross-examine Mrs. Sammons.

Cargo of American
Wheat is Released
IiONDON. Nov. 23.-A British naval
prUe court today ordered the release of
a cargo of wheat consigned to Rotter
dam by Mulr A Co. of New York. The
shipment waa seised on the Brltinh
steamship Mlramlchl, In the Mersey, af
ter the outbreak of hostilities. '
The court held that as the cargo hat
left an American port before war van
declared and at the time of seizure had
not passed to the buyers, It still was the
property of the American claimants and
therefore was not liable to seizure.
The court ruled, however, that a British
ship carrying an enemy's cargo was liable
to selxure anywhere In war time.
