There was @ general outburst of other observers who knew the hoatile attitude of the audience, strongly tinctured with advanced Soclalistic views, at the beginning of Mr. Rocke- feller’s examination. Mr. Rockefeller, before beginning his testimony before the United States Industrial Commission to-day, admitted that he was going through & process of education. “T'm not used to considering answers to questions in the light of ‘national audien he sald. ‘The discipline jas eo affected me that I found my- self stopping to think when Mrs. Rockefeller asked me a question this morning.” Mra. Bella Silberman, the I. W. W. woman who was arrested last sum- mer in the Standard Oil Building for dlsord conduct in the I, W. W. mourning patrol, was on the look-out for Mr. Rockefeller when he entered. 1 the Commissioners and day and publicly forgave him for “having me arrested,” as she put It. But to-day she had what she called a “human, loving message” for him. ‘When she came up he shook hands heartily and made as if to pass on. But Mra. Silberman held on. “I want you to know that there is no personal Ill feeling; no personal hatred in this class feeling. We re- gret that there is any bitter class feeling. It is too bad.” “It is indeed,” said Mr. Rockefeller, etarted on with a parting smile. He guessed wrong. The I. W. W. lady held on, Rockefeller blushed but did etruggle. “I believe that all this class hatred may yet disappear,” Mrs, Silberman continued. “But not by philanthro- py, Mr. Rockefeller. It will come by compromise.” “Now you are talking for yourself,” @napped Mrs. Gertrude Weil Kicin, a young and vivacious socialist leader who has been a front row spectator at all hearings, “That is not the creed of the Gocialist party, We are utterly in op; ion, There can be no compromise.” Mrs, Silberman let go to turn around to argue. Mr. Rockefeller bowed and went to his seat. When the forgiving lady turned back, she found Mackensio King, the former Canadian Minister of Labor, in front of her. She went at him hammer and tongs.

The Germans are offering stubborn resistance and are being re- inforced. Reinforcements are being sent to the army of Grand Duke Nicholas, moving along the right bank of the Vistula to invade Prussia near the fortress of Thorn. ‘The report to-day of the General Staff of the Russian army said: “In the Pilkalen region our troops took the offensive Jan, 25 and drove all the detachments of nemy who oppose them back toward the line from Malvisch- ken to Lasdenen. During this operation we dislodged them from many of their positions after fight- ing at the point of the bayor “On the right bank of the river Vistula there have been advance guard engagements of minor im. portance. “To the left of the Vistula the Germans made several fresh ef- forts to assume the offensive, par- ticularly near the villages of Borjimow and Goumine, during the evening of Jan. % and the afternoon of Jan. 25, but each time they were driven back with seri- ous losses. ‘In the vicinity of the villages of Grasskieboudy and Rouda, to the northwest of Skier- niewice, our fire reduced two Ger- man batteries to silence, “In Gglicta the activity of the enemy has increased on the front between Casdisk, Oujok, Nij- neveretak and Maidanka, where the enemy, in addition to his ar- tillery fire, made other endeavors to operate on thd offensive. He ‘was everywhere driven back. We and ghanwee in Bukowina.
