BERLIN REPORTS BRm JISASTER   IN   FRANCE
London, Dec. 26.~Two German aerial raids causing the death of te^i civilians and the wounding of three score more were carried cut today in widely separated sections of the war area.
A Zeppelin flew over Nancy in eastern France early in the morning, dropping fourteen bombs, according to a Pans dispatch. Two persons were killed and a number injured while several build- ings wore damaged
In Russian Poland the German air fleet dropped bombs upon the alreadv ruined town of Sochaczew and killed eight persons. More than fifty were wounded. Most of the casualties occurred among a crowd whicr flocked into the main street of the town to watch the passing of the fivers. Several buildings were damaged. Sochaczew was in the path of the German advance and more^recent retreat across the Bzura river and little of value was left in the town in the way of buildir.gs while most of the population, ah-eady had fled.
The German version of the attack on Nancy differed from that received from Paris. The Berlin official statement today says "On the evening of Dec. 20, a French airman threw nine bombs on a v. -- tain small village. -No troops were stationed at the place. There was only a hospital which was plainly marked. .No damage was done. . -In reply*to this aerial attack and also the throwing of bombs on Freiburg. v;hich is not defended and is outside the zone of opera¬ tions, German airmen threw medium sized bombs into the outskirts of Nancy."
. . The activity of the German airmen has been, very pronounced during the past few days. On Friday a German aeroplane attempted a raid on London and had arrived to within twenty miles of London when it was driven off. The next day another German flyer made a similar raid. The lighthouse keeper at Kentish Knok, reported to¬ day he had seen an aeroplane fall into the North Sea about a mile from his lighthouse on Friday afternoon. The British gunners re¬ port that they were confident they had struck the invaders, who met death.
Berlin, Dec. 26.—Wireless via Sayville, L. I. —Tb" <"-"- ^g an¬ nouncement is made by the official press bureau. The Admiralty reports today that on the 25th there was a fight 'with British ships whicii made a dash into a Geiman bav. Hydroplanes convoyed by them advanced against the r.iouths B' German riyers and dropped bombs on anchored ships and on gas works near Cuxhaven without hitting anything or doing any damage. The hydroplanes when fired at, withdrew in easterly direction, j

TROLLEY MEN'S WAGE DISPUIE
May Be Settled When Next Conference is Held With Wright
London. Deo. 2(.—It i.s officially annaunced at Petrograd that the Ger¬ mans have failed in their attempt to lireak the Russian center in front of Warsaw. The expectation hore is that Field Marshal Von Hindenburg must order a retreat or find him.self lu the situation that ruined Xapolean.
Tho German war office admits that the German forcejj along the ri\er Hnura are no longer atlui-king. This admission when taken in con¬ nection with recent statemenis by the Russians of detailed lo.s.ses suf¬ fered by ttie Germans in attempting to force pas.sa.ge of the H/.ura and Hawaka seems to show clearly that the Germans have paid dearly for their fnvasicm of Poland and the lo.-.-^ of 50,000 killed, wounded and miss- ihg in thelast two weeks has broughi them  no   nearer to  Warsaw.
They got* across the Bzura in on. place only. This was at a villa.gc south of Sochaczew, thirty miles west of Warsaw. Establishing them.selves on the'east bank they tried desper¬ ately to hold the position long enough for¬the arrival of the main force.s, but the Ku.s.sians brought up artillery and .shelled the invaders out of the village. The Germans lost heavily and were compelled to sacrifice every advant¬ age  gained. '
The fighting In Kouthern Polans alongJ^ihe Pllira and Xada rivers has be'-onie tli^ vital part of the cam¬ paign. Tho Germans are trying to turn the Rus.sian left wing, while an .\ustrian force which advanced from Gali(-ia to the.line of the Xida is try¬ ing to envelope a large r>nrt of the Uussi.an  armv.
Along th efrontier of southern Fast Prussia, the Germans have developed a strong attack in the last week. D"--- feated north of Ploek and near Mil- wa. and driven I.t mile.s beyond their own frontier they rallied and re¬ newed the offensive. The scene of the fighting is r.gain near 'Milwa. The Petrograd correspondent of the Times reports that ATarshal Von Hin¬ denburg is making anotber -aftempl to divert Ru.isian actK-ltleR .Tn<l that he is sending thoopg from Tliorn |o re-enforce his nrmv along the right bank  of the lower Vistula.
Tt seem snnpnrent now thrti tbe Is¬ sue of the fighting In Galicia bas turned definitel\- In favor of the Kus- sians. .Mthough the Russi.nn fo;-ce around <'racow was Cbliged to wifn- dr.-iw about '0 miles to the Dnnaiec river in order to meet han .•Vnsfrian advance from tbe Carpathians it b.is kept it.s .grip neverthele.^s on western Galicia and will   be ready to advance

BATTLE RAGING NEAR VERA CRUZ AND^AT TAMPICO
State Department Hears That Troops of Villa and Zapata Are Driving the Followers of Carranza Back on the Lines of Defense in fhe Two Prnicipal Seaports of the War-torn Mexican Repahlic.
BY 0. B COLQUITT,
Governor of Texas. ..
By Telegjaph to the Editor of The Independent.
Houston, Tc.x., Dec. 2>'>. The Wilson .Tdrninisiration iias hrm till- groatp.st, failurf> in the history of the prcsidenoy. This i.s n lai-il literally flowinf* with hone}' and mi]i<. It has had the hijr- (Tt'st crops in its history and yet, it is prostrated, its err rijt impaired and  Thousands of it.s people are .starving.
"The administrations tarifi' act was pledtred to lower the cost ol" living and it ha.s had the contrary eft'ect. Iiy putting: raw ma¬ terial on the free list it has condemned Americans hy hun^Jrerls of thousands hy peonage and has forced tliem to charge hiirher prices for their goods.
"Hides were free li.sted and shoes have gone higher. This is true of virtually every sin.'.rh' it-^m similarly treated in the admin¬ istration taritf law. The .\inerican farmer gets loss fnr liis raw iiiaterials. the .Vmerican working man pays more for the finished produi't aird iioth are rohlu-d to further enrich the protected manu iacTuring    trusts    and      coinliines.
" The administrations foreign policy has been imbecile. It litis allov.-ed I']ngland to dictate conditions as to cotton shipments to European coiurtries that enabled En.irlish spinners to rob the .\iiieriean cotton grrowers of half the value of their crop. England stopptiil .American shipments until the English spinners had Iinucrht thfir supply at tj^ cents a pound aird stored it in Texas and ot'' southern warehouses. ,
"The England consented to declare cotton not confrahrnnd and Franc followed suit a day or two later. Our government weekly submitted tp England's dictation playii?g into the hands of the English s{)inners and betraying the American cotton growers as completely as if this    country- were an English vassal state.
Would Call England's Bluff,
"If T had been President I would have served notice on- Eng¬ land's premier that our foreign trade in cotton and other con- coiitrahand commodities was going forward with or.without Eng- laixl's con.sent and. if nece.ssary I would have sei?t American iron¬ clads to England's door to enforce that noice.
"The administration's repeal of the Panama Canal toll exemp¬ tion law was another weak surrender to England.. If free tolls for American ships had not been repealed, hiirrflreds of American owned ships flying a foreign fl.ig tvoul dhave come under the .American flag to get the benefit of the exemption and we would today have an .American merchant marine competent to carrv our good to foreign markets. AVe have no such merchairt marin*^ and. to supply it, the Wilson administration is proposing to spend the tax jiayers' mpney in buying a subsidized national shipping ser- vtrv.
