REGARD NOTICE
MERELY formal
United States Doesn't Ex-
pect Further Word Re-
garding the North Sea.

Washington, Nov. 1s.-PremieY
Asquith's statement to the British
parliament regarding the closure Of
the North sea has not been made the
subject Of formal communication
to the American government. 1t is
understood here to have been nothing
more than q repetition to parliament
of the facts that were communicated
to the state department about q fort
night ago by the British ambassador
in Washington, in regard to the dan
ger of navigation in the North sea,
and a further notice is deemed Inn
probable.
Notice that the British government
had placed mines In the North sea to
defend the English channel only AFT
er the Germans had sown mines in
northern waters and along the Irish
coast probably will be accepted as
sufficient answer to the recent inquiry
by the state department as to the re-
sponsibility for the mining. and the
department will content itself with
passing along the notice Of the state
of affairs in the North sea to Ameri-
can marines.
1t was pointed out that tho pre-
mier's statement regarding the con-
traband character Of copper and oil
diso was HolIliHS MORO LHan repo-
tition of the information communicate
ed to the United States several weeks
ago.
The British embassy here is still
trying to facilitate the importation
of Austrian wool into the United
States notwithstanding the embargo
recently declared. Another commu.
nication has been sent to London in
regard to the application of American
wool manufacturers for permission to
import Austrian wool under individ-
ual guarantee that the product will
not reach Germany.

London, Nov. 19.-Germany's new
attack on the Russian army in the
center Of the battle line stood out con-
spicuously as Of chief immediate i'm
portance in the European war. The
sudden assault Of the Germans in Rus
sian Poland, from which territory
they were described recently as driv-
on in disorder, lent new aspect to
this campaign.
Russian military of1cials admit a re-
verse in this territory. Berlin Is cele-
brating great victory.
But the meagreness Of authentic In
formation fromm the front makes 1t
impossible to determine the extent or
Importance Of German successes.
Meanwhile, Russia is proceeding
with her other two adventures in her

announces, are penetrating steadily

they are closing in on Cracok and
