GRANTS AN INTERVIEW
TO "A. P." CORRESPONDENT
Chief of Staff Declares Allies' Offensive
Ic Welcomed?Preriared I
for Belgium Landing.
GENERAL FIELD HEADQUARTERS
OF THE GERMAN ARMIES (in
France), January 16, via London, Janu-j
ary 20.?"More of such offensive (re- j
ferring to the present offensive operations
in the campaign of the allies)
can only be welcome to us."
'The British are good fighters, hut
an army without the necessary officers
and non-commissioned officers is
scarcely an army."
"We are fully prepared for any at-J
tempt at a landing in Belgium; the;
sooner it comes the better."
These are some of the phrases, full i
o? quiet optimism, of Lieut. Gen. Erich J
von Falkenhayn, the German minister!
of war and chief of staff of German !
armies in the field, who granted
the Associated Press the first interview
given any correspondent.
The general talked frankly of the
present military situation and the
prospects of the war. which he evidently
does not expert will be a short
one.
Father of War Strategy.
Gen. von Falkenhayn is the man re-?
sponsible, under the emperor, for the;
strategy in the great world war. He;
is comparatively young as command- :
ers go?the youngest of any of the'
leaders of the European armies?with"
a tremendous capacity for hard, con-;
centrated work.
He is at his desk in an old French J
government building which houses the
German general staff from dawn until j
late at night. An unbroken stream of
officers with reports and plans calling i
for his decision flows all da}- long in
and out of the little square conference;
room, with its table loaded with maps.
Tie performs the dual functions of min-j
fster of war and ? hief of the general
staff, and has little time for exercise
or recreation. He sleeps at headquarte.
s, with his hand ,as it were, on the
rnltli. f.f tSi. Vki cr ...I
his slender tigure is as erect, his manner
almost as vigorous as the day he j
flashed into public notice with his
memorable defense of the German army
in the Zabern debate in the reichstag.
Called War of Self-Defense.
"This war is not a war of aggression,"
said Gen. von Falkenhayn,
taking up the causes of the conflict. I
"It is not a war brought about by a
military caste or military party in'
Germany, but one of self-defense. As!
a soldier. I cannot, of course, talk on
the political aspects or the causes of
the war, but can speak from a military ;
standpoint.
"It was forced upon us by the Russian
mobilization in the face of which
we could do nothing, bur arm ourselves.
Russia had been advised and
warned by his majesty, and through,
our ambassador, that if she mobilized
we must, in self-defense, order a gen- j
eral mobilization and take the steps |
necessary to protect our national i
existence. Russia, nevertheless, went 1
ahead with its mobilization, while con- '
tinuing diplomatic negotiations.
"If a man comes into your room for

ness. especially any germ disease. The (
kidneys struggle to filter such poisons
from the blood.
Man> a bad case of kidney trpuble
begins after recovery from some infectious
disease, and even a cold often has
the same bad result.
Common signs of kidney weakness
are headaches, backache, rheumatic
pains, nervousness, loss of weight and
urinary troubles.
During convalescence, in fact, whenever
there are signs of kidney trouble,
use Doan's Kidney Pills, and help the
medicine by avoiding meat eating,
overexertion of any kind and the use i
of liquor. Drink milk or water. |
Doan's Kidney Pills are certainly reliable
for sick kidneys. They have been
used for years all over the civilized l
world, are uniformly successful and i
are recommended by thousands.

a discussion with gran drawn you can
scarcely be expected to wait for him
to cock and level it at you before
reaching" for your own to defend your
me.
Situation Excellent.
"Our present situation is excellent.
We have no cause to complain. We ,
have carried the war into the enemy's i
country on both fronts; we are still '
there after five months of war. Our j
present lines are very strong; the ad- ,
vantage is all on our side thus far.
"If our first advance against Paris," \
said the general, in response to a question,
"had succeeded fully and in all ,
respects, it would have been reckoned .
a most brilliant achievement. As it j
stands it is an admirable one. I can
say so freely, because I had nothing
to do with the conception of the-plan
of campaign. But one cannot expect
to carry on war without some checks, 1
and when we fell back we swung over ,
to the present line of action, in which ! ,
we have been thoroughly successful.
"It is wrong to interpret the operations
in Flanders as an attempt on our
part to reach Calais and outflank the
allied armies. On the contrary, that
phase of the campaign is the result
of an attempt on the part of the
French and British to force their way
north to separate us from the sea and
envelop our right flank and rear, relieve
Antwerp and oblige us to retire
from Belgium.
Calls Allies' Plan Failure. l
1
"Their plan was the failure, our
counterstroke the success, of the oper- <
ations in Flanders. They have not 1
outflanked us, and we are still there." ,
"What is your view of the general
offensive of the allies and Kitchener's
new army?" he was asked.
"The offensive," replied the German
chief of StafF. "was to hffrin sirrnrHin I'
to Gen. J off re's order, oa the day of
December 17. So far we have no reason
to be dissatisfied with its results.
We not only have held our lines successfully,
but have even gained ground.
More of such offensive can only be 1
welcome to us.
"As to Kitchener's army, the British
are good fighters and I have all re- 1
spect for them, but an army without ,
necessary officers and non-commissioned
officers is scarcely an army, ac- ,
cording to present-day standards. They 1
may send them over to attack us, but
1 think we are strong enough to beat ,
them and drive them back with bloody
heaos. 3
"The proposed landing in Belgium? ,
We are fully prepared for any attempt
in this direction: the sooner it comes
the better."
There was nothing boastful in Gen.
von Falkenhavn's manner. These
statements were made, instead, in a 1
quiet tone and with confidence in the ]
preparedness of the German army and \
in its ability to meet the situation. 1
Effect of Blockade. <
1
"What effect upon the German con- ,
duct of the war," Gen. von Falkenhayn i
was asked, "has the British blockade
and contraband policy exercised?"
"Practically none at all." he replied.
"Of food we have enough. Have you
observed any scarcity in Germany? We
may have to husband certain things
and be sparing with our wheat consumption.
but our 'war bread* (rcf i-v
ring: to ti e bread made from the prescribed
admixture of rye and potato I
meal and wheat four> is quiie as tasty
and nutritious as the regular wheat
bread.
"The problem of feeding the civil
populations of Belgium, Poland and the
occupied parts of France, particularly
such eities as Lille or Lodz, presents
some difficulties, but for ourselves we
have enough.
Only Blow to America.
"As for the embargo on copper"?Gen.
von Falkenhayn laughed?"we have
no copper under ground, it is true, but
above ground we have more than
enough for all military needs. If our
regular supplies become exhausted we
need only draw on the enormous quantities
of manufactured copper already
in Germany. In our cables for transmitting
electricity?current, for instance?we
have a couple of years' supply."
"British interference with copper
shipments, it seems to me, is a heavy
blow for America, but for us it is
nothing." <G ne.von Falkenhayn used
the vigorous south German expression
for "utter indifference.")
Length of the War.

think the war may last or can last?
Lord Kitchener's three years?"
"It can last," said the German chief
of staff, picking out that particular
part of the question, "indefinitely for
us. I sec nothing that can force us to
stop fighting.
"Food and materials? We are amply
supplied. Our strategic position is
good. Human material? Do you know
that the recruits of the 1915 class are
to i>e called to the colors? October, 1915,;
is the normal date. I was occupying!
myself with this question yesterday.
Does that look as if there is any lack!
3f soldiers? We have more troops In!
Berlin today than in peace times. They!
still need training, however. No men
ire sent to the front without adequate
preparation.
No Slackening in Zeal.
"Enthusiasm? You have been at the
front and know that there is no slackening
in the zeal of the men for their
task. We can go on indefinitely.
"And if in this war, in which Kalmucks,
Kanichatkans, Turcomans, Sen-1
?gal negroes, Indians and whatnot
have been brought in to maintain in
the white man's Europe the co-called
balance of power; if in this war to
crush a nation whose offense is that,
through industry and hard work, it
has prospered and is prosperous, we
should go down we shall go down with;
honor, fighting to the last ditch and the
last man."
"And how far does Germany wish to
carry this war, your excellency?until
the other side is completely crushed?"
"Until they are so defeated that a
possibility of a repetition of this unprovoked
attack upon us is completely
eliminated," he declared, earnestly.
T+oi-rr Arid Pniiniftnifl.
"What about the new clouds on the
horizon, your excellency?Italy and
Roumania?"
"Those are questions you should address
to the imperial chancellor or the
foreign secretary."
"But under certain contingencies,
thev 7ni?rht become questions of interest
to the chief of the general staff."
"Out of the question!" was the emphatic
reply. "I cannot believe that
these two states, which have been
united to us for twenty years by ties
of alliance, should suddenly array
themselves in the ranks of our enemies.
I consider that utterly impossible."
Wilson to Accept No Dinner Bids.
President Wilson will accept no dinier
invitations this winter because of
Mrs. Wilson's death. He has discov?red
that Inadvertently he had agreed
to speak at a banquet of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States
February 4 and immediately wrote to the
organization asking that the engage- j
nent be changed. I

POST OFFICES TO HAVE I
PARCEL POST ICE BOXES |
m;
I th
Coutroller of Treasury Announces
I They May Be Built?Praeger's
Men Make One. L
Although there is now no obstacle
to the construction by the Post Office
Department of cold storage facilities ?*
to take care of perishable parcel post tl
shipments, according to the decision >r<
of the controller of the Treasury, it
was declared at the Post Office Depart- tc
ment this morning that there are to be
no radical steps taken to equip all post ri
offices with either elaborate cold stor- v
age plants or ice boxes. u.
Postmaster Praeger at Washington m
did not wait for a decision as to ei
whether the department had authority r(
to build cold storage plants. He just I ^
took materials from his building, used | ai
his own forces and has constructed one
at the post office near the Union sta- ci
tion, where perishable products which
cannot be delivered immediately are w
stored.
The question of cold storage first y
came up a few weeks ago at Denver.
At that place there Is a railroad running
out of the mountain city approxi- P
mately 256 miles in length, over which T
there are only two trains a day, one of N
which leaves about 8 o'clock in the L#
morning. It runs over a desert country,
where it is difficult to keep the ?
perishable products, in view of the ^
fact that in order to catch the trains it is
necessary to mail the parcel post )
matter at the Denver post office in the \
evening. The perishable shipments \
total about one ton a day.
Denver P. 0. to Have Icebox.
The urgent need of an icebox of some \
kind there and the desire of the Post \
Office Department to cater to this trade ^
brought the matter before the con- j
troller, who decided in favor of the ;
Post Office Department. The new post '
office there is now under construction, )
j and it is declared that it would be ^
I a comparatively simple matter to pro- \
vide for an icebox to take care of the i \
ton of perishable parcel post products >
which pass over the desert line every (
day. Now that the Post Office Depart- c
ment has the decision, the matter has )
been referred to the supervising archi- )
tect's office of the Treasury to find )
room for the icebox. )

CHARGED WITH TREASON.
eader of I. W. W. Arrested at Bellaire,
Ohio, and Jailed.
BELLAIRE, Ohio, January 20.?
Iiarged with treason, Joseph J. Ettor
' New York, an Industrial Worker of

ssterday, just before he was to adress
