Our supply in artillery ammunition has been largely increased. The heavy artillery which we lacked has been provided for and seen at work on the battlefield. The English Army has been very heavily reinforced in November. It is numerically stronger than at the outset of the campaign. The Indian troops have completed their apprenticeship in European warfare. The Belgian Army has been reorganized into six divisions. It is ready and eager to reconquer the national territory. A SERIES OF GERMAN REVERSES. The enemy have failed in their abrupt attack upon Nancy. They failed in their swift march on Paris. They failed to envelop our left wing in August. They failed in the same attempt in November. They failed to pierce through our centre in September. They failed in their attack by way of the coast on Dunkirk and Calais. They failed in their attack on Ypres. _The Bulletin des Armees concludes its account in these words:_ Germany has exhausted its reserves in this fruitless effort. Her newly formed troops are raw. Russia more and more asserts her superiority against Germany, as well as against Austria. The German armies after this check are fatally doomed to retreat. All this has been accomplished during the last four months. The moment had come to sum up these operations; the press is now free to comment upon them. LONG LIVE THE ALLIES! By CLAUDE MONET. [From King Albert's Book.] I feel myself greatly honored by the opportunity given me to express all my admiration of heroic Belgium, and to offer a like admiration to the noble and valiant King of the Belgians. Long live Belgium! Long live the Allies! Long live France! United States Fair to All Disclaimer of Bias Against Germany and Austria By William J. Bryan, American Secretary of State The following letter is the most exhaustive document that has come from the Administration at Washington since the outbreak of the war dealing with any aspect of the relations of this country toward that conflict. Its length is due to the fact that it is intended as a categorical denial of the different charges that have been made and of the arguments current in German circles accusing the Administration of unfriendliness to Germany and Austria-Hungary. Senator Stone was interested in having these charges answered for two reasons: First, there is a large German population in St. Louis, the chief city of his State, and, second, he is Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations. Senator Stone wrote his letter of inquiry on Jan. 8, saying that he had received many letters from sympathizers with Germany and Austria who believed the United States Government had been showing partiality to England, France, and Russia. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 1915. _Hon. William J. Stone, Chairman Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, Washington, D.C._
