is the fact that in his youth Admiral
Lynch served in the British navy. and

The condition and morals of the
soldiers, the inevitable spy system
and press censorship were discussed
freely.
The prime minister characterized
the crisis as "the greatest emergency
in which the country has ever been
placed" He said 100000 men al
ready were under arms; that the war
was costing nearly $4,000, 900 a day
and that the government proposed to
lend Belgium $50, 600, 900 and Servia

Reginald McKenna, secretary for

there were 1883 alien enemies In

several days put up a vigorous. and de-

hands of the French and English.
This news1i is accepted in Paris as
proof that the tide of battle in the
north of France continues to favor
the allies. The powerful but futile
German attack in the vicinity of Ypres
also is officially declared to have cost
the enemy thousands of casualties and
many prisoners.
One detachment of 120 Germans

The most notable incident of the at

held, has been completely evacuated.
We have retaken to the south of Bixs-

Concessions Offered Roumania

Venice.-1t is stated here that
Count Tisza, the Hungarian premier,
has promised political concessions to
Roumanians in Austria in return for
Roumania's aid in the war. Among
the concessions alleged to have been
promised are complete amnesty for all
political offenders, permission to use
and display the Roumanian national
colors, a revision of the franchise,
which will assure to Roumanians ade-
quate representation in elective bod
les and in parliament and a reform

Allies Holding Their Own

London.-The correspondent of The
Times in France sends the following
regarding the fighting On the Aisne:
"On the whole, the allies have the
advantage. The French capture Of
Questcy-en-Santerre was a good deal
bigger affair than reported. On the
other hand, the enemy's accounts of
a great victory at Vailly were exag-
gerated. They obtained a temporary
advantage, but the allies have more
than regained the original positions"

Three Defensive Lines

Geneva.-The German army staff
has prepared three formidable defen-
sive lines from the North sea to the
Rhine for use in event Of a retreat, &C
cording to a high Swiss army officer.
The first line extends from Antwerp
to Namur and Sedan, he says. The
second is on the frontier between
Maestricht, Luxembourg and Metz. The
third is on the Rhine itself. The Of
fcer predicts long battles on each of
these lines similar to those of the
Marne and the Aisne, unless Russian
attacks strongly meantime.

Turkish Transports Are Sunk

recent Russian statement that a Rus

transports in the Black sea-. The Con-

has been no news of these ships since
they left the Turkish capital a week
ago. It adds that as the vessels were
near Songuldak, on the Black sea-, the
day this place was bombarded, it is
possible that they we're attacked by
