keeping down that type of crime in
their districts.
An order was sent out last night for
all detectives in precincts to report this

Commissioner Mckay was asked yes
terday if he intended to re-establish
the Lineup" and number of special
detective squads abolished by Waldo,
but he answered he was not prepared
! to say as 10 that yet. When asked if
| he expected TO remain at the head Of
the police. he said with smile:
You know as much about that as
I do"
Mr.. Mckay refused to say whether
he was acting In this new move under
orders from the Mayor. and when the
Mayor was asked q similar question he
said:

with the Commissioner WAS a general

gangsters, rowdies and pickpockets
and am in full accord with the Police
Commissioner. but l did not issue the
order"
| All OF which may be interpreted tc
mean that Mckay has hit upon a plan
Of his own initiative which suits the
Mayor exactly. at least in theory.
District Attorney Whitman was er.
roneously informed that Mr.. Mckay
had said that success Of the scheme de.
pended upon Mr.. Whitman instructins

this was not what Mckay had said, IL
was productive OF the result that the
two men agreed to confer on the sub.

that he had not mentioned Mr.. Whit

other dispatch said the guns Of the war
vessels had destroyed the village Of
Slype on the canal between Ostend and
Bruges. where it is said the Germans
have their headquarters. At Sluis only
q few miles to the northeast of Slype,
in 1910 a British fleet achieved a victory
over the French.
1t is clear now that ships have been
playing an important part in the war
fare along the coast. The admiralty Of
ficially announces that the monitors
Severn, Humber and Mercy not only
bOmbarded the German position south
of Ostend but landed detachments of
marines with machine guns. It il re-
ported from other sources that eleven
war vessels in all are taking part in the
operations.
Dodge the Submarines.
Curiously enough, the monitors retain
that title from "Lincoln's cheese box"
Of civil war fame, and SO far apparent
~ they have been able to dodge sub
marine attacks. How the German sub
marines got to Ostend is unknown but
presumably they crept down the Dutch
coast. submerged whenever sighted by
a British patrol. then picked their way
carefully through the British mine
fields.
With the fighting along the Belgian
coast hardly more than seventy miles
from Dover that area Of hostilities
necessarily holds chief interest with the
British public though, according to last
nights Paris official communication,
there were violent actions here and
there along more than a seventy-mile
front, extending almost due north and
south from Newport to La Bassee.
Everywhere the allies claimed to be
holding their positions.
Reinforcements for the German right
have been spoken Of daily since Ostend
was taken and today comes a report
that Austrian forces were being trans
ferred from the italian frontier for this
purpose. Rumors that Emperor Will
liam is seriously i'll are filtering in here
via Paris and this with a report that a
German fleet is or Falsterbo. Sweden.
are among the usual crop Of uncon-
firmed narratives that London il dis

From the east comes a claim Of the
Austrians that they have retaken the
last point in the Carpathians held by
the Russians and 1t was added that
there is now no enemy on Hungarian
