"German paint Bombardment of the church at Nancv and of the Thann hospital." The statement continues: IM-s i:aperatetl. "Recent German odleial announcements repardinp French losses durinp the past few weeks are wholly inexact. Our losses in this period are. less than half the figures invented by the German general staff. The French c ommandant is able to state by the number of dead found upon the" held, that in all the actions of the last two months the German losses have been preater than the Jrench losses." The statement concludes with the following numbered observations: "1 The German offensive in Poland was destroyed a month apo. The Russian offensive is continuing in Galicia and tho Carpathians. The Turkish army in the Caucasus has been larpely annihilated. " I Germany lias exhausted her resources in othcers, the averape heinp 1 otlicers per repiment, and she cannot henceforth develop her resources effectively except to tUe detriment of f xisitinp units. ".". on the contrary the allied armies are in a position to draw upon v inf(iTcements to a notable dopree. To obtain total success therefore it Millars that Franco and her allies should wait and prepare- for it with unshakable appearance. The German offensive if? hroke; the German defensive will also be broken in its turn."

WASHINGTON". Jan.. 22. A complete hanpo In tho situation in M xico was evident to all the officials in the state department and war department Thursday with chances largely favorinp the eventual control of the country by (Jen. Villa. It is the purpose of Gen. Villa as pointed out recently to establish a capital temporarily in northern Mexico at Torreon most likely and then by a concentration of all his forces to eliminate Carranza absolutely. (Jen. Villa through Special Apfnt Georpe Carothers, telegraphed the state department Thursday that he proposes to protect all American interests in Mexico. He says in addition that he proposes "to carry on the struggle in accordance with the principles which he has proclaimed and which are the only basis for a tirm and peaceful government in Mexico". The state department was not only pleased with this expression of policy y Gen. Villa, but its officials state their belief that his retirement into the north, where he can have a responsible government around him. will go far toward olvinp the Mexican

foreshadowed in the official reports to j the department which say that there elimination of both Carranza

Gutierrez to the army of Villa.

Military' experts here declare that Villa's strategy just now is of the highest order. They think that his forces and the convention forces are apparently leaving Mexico City for the purpose of entrapping Carranza. The military result, the war department thinks, will he that Carranza cannot hold two such important places as Mexico City and Vera Cruz against

Gen. Villa's policy of a concentrated :

army of attack and that Carranza will be beaten in detail. Former Gov. Iturbide of the Mexico City province has recently hail conferences with the secretary of state and the secretary of war. The new situation was discussed again today at the state department by Gov. Iturbide and Ieon Canova. Mr. Aryan's special agent, who came here with the governor from Mexico. WASHINGTON. Jan. 22. Provisional Pres't Garza's proposition to the warring chiefs that Mexico City bo made neutral territory and that an armistice be established to negotiate for peace has somewhat relieved the tension that existed in government circles over the Mexican situation. Should this plan succeed, it was pointed out, foreign residents would not be exposed to the danger that would accompany an attack on the subsequent looting of the capital. Reports have been received here that (Jen. Obregon. Carranza's military chief, has started a movement for the

and '

plan

could not be carried out declanng that if Villa were deprived of a voice in the affairs of the country he would establish a government of his own in northern Mexico.
