FIGHT FOR YEARS
SAYS GEN. GOLTZ
Counts Upon German Enthusiasm
and Morale To Win—Credits
Foes With Bravery.
BERLIN, Jan. 4.—The correspond
ent of the Tageblatt in Sofit, Bul
garia, telegraphs an interview he had
with Field Marshal Baron von der
Golti while the latter was on his way
to Constantinople. Regarding Bel
gium Baron von der Goltz said:
"The situation is normal, the pop
ulation having convinced themselves
that the Germans are not barbarians.
Life continues as if in peace time,
and commerce and transportation are
getting better. The Belgians fought
bravely for their fatherland. Such
opponents should be esteemed.’’
• Answering questions regarding the
war situation in the west, the field
marshal pointed out that an army of
millions of German soldiers was in
the enemy’s country and that the rich
est French provinces were occupied.
“We don’t underestimate our oppon
ents,” he said. "The French and Eng
lish fight With utter contempt for
death, but we are gradually winning
ground and are convinced that some
day the enemy’s resistance will be
broken.
"Germany is prepared to wage the
war for years and the side which is
able to stand the most and has the
best discipline is bound to win. The
enthusiasm and morale of the Ger
man soldier, fostered by good sup
ply arrangements, we are sure will
ultimately make us victorious.”
Speaking of the situation in the
east. Field Marshal von der Goltz said
that he considered that the Russian
offensive had been a failure, but that
hard fighting was still in prospect.
“The German army,” he added,
“which was victorious earlier against
superior numbers, is bound to be so
in the future.”
Field Marshal von der Goltz, said
in conclusion that he was convinced
that the Turkish *rmy had greatly
profited by Its hard work during the
last few years and would make a
good record.
SUFFRAGE VOTE
ONMIARY12
WASHINGTON, Ja,n. 4.—The
House will vote upon the proposed
^suffrage amendment to the Constitu
tion on Jan. 12. The leaders of the
women’s associations, which have for
years been fighting to secure the bal
lot, are here in force trying to in
duce the members of congress to vote
for the passage of the amendment.
The amendment requires a two-thirds
vote. President Wilson and a num
ber of the Democratic leaders are
opposed to the amendment, claiming
that the regulation of the ballot is a
state matter and should be left to
each state to settle. The great
strength of the women will come from
the west. Few of them believe tha*
the bill will pass, but they are anx
ious to force the members of con
gress on record.

GOV'T WILL BUY
MERCHANT SHIPS
Preliminary Vote Shows the Admin
istration Has Control of Senate
and Can Pass the Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—A prelim
inary vote in the Senate today on
the bill favored by President Wilson
for the appropriation of $50,000,000
to be used by the Treasury Depart
ment to purchase ships and operate
them in the overseas trade, shows
that the president has more than
enough support to pass the bill in
the Senate and the House will un
doubtedly pass the bill.
A number of senators fear that
the operation of steamships by the
government will lead to trouble with
the belligerents and they oppose it on
that ground, while the anti-govern
ment ownership members oppose the
government operation of any busi
ness.

Turks Sentence Greek Officer To
Death.
ATHENS, Jan. 4.—Another inci
dent has occurred to aggravate Greek
Turkish relations, which are already
extremely unsatisfactory. A war.
rant officer attached to the Greek
Naval Attache in Constantinople was
arrested on a charge of espionage,
tried, and condemned to death, be
cause, while watching amid a crowd
of spectators on a quay the passage
of Turkish warships past the Golden
Horn, he was seen to note down the
names of the various ships.
, The Greek minister made a strong
protest against the whole proceeding,
but the Turks continue to insist on
the execution of the condemned man.
Public opinion is already much in
censed over the renewed prosecu
tions, wholesale expulsions, violations
and spoliation of Greeks in Thrace
and Asia Minor, which continue un
abated despite the repeated assuran
ces of the Porte.
This execution, therefore, if car
ried out, will add fuel to the flame
of popular indignation, especially in
consideration of the fact that Greece
has hitherto never enforced the death
sentence on any of the numerous
Turkish spJes caught in the course
of the last 12 months in Macedonia
and the Islands.
The government is still maintain
ing an attitude of moderation, but
there is no saying how long it will
be before it is obliged by the increas
ing pressure of public opinion to take
a more energetic stand.
