German carqoes Are Affected

London.-The closing of the North
sea to all chipping except that which
places itself under the protection Of
the British fleet is recognized as the
first stroke of Admiral Baron Fisher,
the new first sea lord of the admi-
rally and as one of the most import
ant events of the war. All cargoes
destined for German or Austrian con-
sumption must run the gauntlet Of
British inspection in the English chan
mel. the strait of Gibraltar or the
SueZ canal

British Release U. S. Ship.

Washington-By releasing the Stan
dard Oil tank steamer Platuria the
British government conceded the right
of American vessels laden with illum-
iating oil to deliver their cargos at
Danish ports. Great Britain has reach
ed an understanding with Denmark
that the ell will not be exported to
Germany.
The United States government has
declined to recognize any authority
on the part Of the British government
to detain such cargos with or with
out an embargo.

GERMANS DEFENSIVE
BOTH EAST AND WEST
RUSSIANS GAIN ADVANTAGE IN
GALiCIA AND ARE PRESSING
IT-TEUTONs RETREAT.
AReoNNE REGION IN DOUBT
Germans Claim Success In Only One
Point-French Retake Positions
They Had Lost.

London.-The German and Austrian
armies are now on the defensive on
the east and west. They have given
up, at least for the present, their effort
to break through the Allied lines
around Ynres, In Belgium, where the
British and French have taken the OF.
fensive, and, according to the reports
from French headquarters. have COM
menced to advance. In the east they
have fallen back over their own from
tiers in East Prussia and in Poland,
while Russian cavalry had penetrated
Silesia to the north of Kalisz and cut
the German railway.
The Russians also are following up
their advantage in Galicia, and 1t is
said, have cut the retreating Aus
trians off from Cracow, while the Ger
mans are retiring through Poland.
At only one point at two battle
fronts do the Germans claim success.
That is at the west Of Argonne region,
where they have taken from the
French an important height near
Vienne-Le-Chateau.
French troops have re-taken the po-
sitions which they had lost during
the course Of the week. That is nota-
bly, so in the Aisne Valley around Sols
sons, where they have regained the
ground which the Germans by fierce
assaults have tagen from them.
The Belgians, holding the line
reaching to the coast also have made
progress.
The fighting was carried on in a
fog, which interfered with the work
of the airmen and likewise with the
artillery.
While the Allies offensive in the
west has given hope in London that
the Germans will fall back to a line
further removed from the sea, all un-
easiness has not passed, for they pre-
viously have shown wonderful recup-
erative powers. The presence OF the
Russians in East Prussia and Silesla,
however, will, 1t Is believed here, pre-
vent the Germans from sending any
more troops to the west, if it does not
compel them to withdraw some al
ready at that front.
The Austrians apparently have sent
stronger force sagainst Servia and
have driven the Serbs out Of Slavonia.
OF what is going on in Bosnia, which
the Servians and Montenegrins invad-
ed almost to the capital, Sarajevo,
nothing has been disclosed for weeks,
but operations against their. northern
border might have had an effect on
the Servians plans there.
Nothing of moment has occurred IN
the Near East, but Turkey is being
attacked in isolated spots by the Rus
slams and British. Ehe Turks also are
apparently coming very close to war
with Greece, the situation having
been aggravated by the sinking OF
Greek steamer by the Turks and the
threatening Of Creeks in ksia-Minor.
Neither Bulgaria. nor Roumapia has
yet made any move -: 80.
The Union Defense forces continue
to round up the rebels in South AT
frica. Those in the northern part Of
the province which have been a worry
to the government have been COM
pletely routed, whil those in Trans
vail, where another 400 have been
captured. are scattering.
In Orange Free State, however, sew
eral small commanders have been
looting towns and damaging railways.

In the presentation Of these pictures
one sees, for instance, a toad seizing an

stalking his prey, a huge dace snake

produced by an all-star cast of Essanay

for Goodrich allows her employer to
