are taking the precaution to prepare
second line Of defense, should their
forward movement again meet with
defeat
The new attempt, it is believed, will
be made further inland, for the failure
of the first one was largely due to the
bombardment that the troops and ar
tillery had to undergo from the Brit
ish and French warships of the coast
OF Belgium.
This cessation of heavy fighting
seems to have extended along the line
as far as Arras, and the result Of it
all is that the Germans, while they
have suffered heavy losses and have
inflicted similar punishment on the
Allies, are farther away from the
French coast than they were at the
beginning of the battle.
Five Nations in the Battle.
The fighting along the Belgian coast
probably is the most picturesque bat
tie ever fought. On shore the troops
of five nations are fghting-the Aus
trians and Germans on one side, the
French, Belgian and English on the
other side. At sea British monitors,
gunboats, destroyers and submarines
are fighting side by side with French
warships, while at the same time they
are being subjected TO attacks by Ger
man submarines and airships.
Russians Advancing Again.
The entire Russian army is again
advancing against the Austro-German
forces. Advices from the front indi'
cate that the Austrian troops in Cali
ella are being enveloped by the Rus
sian left, while the Russian center and
right are driving the Germans back
upon their advanced lines Of defense
inside of the East Prussia frontier
After more than a week of fighting
along the San river the Austrians
have now begun to retreat from the
southern section.

NAY BUY GARGOES OF COPPER
England Negotiating for Metal
Seized at Gibraltar.

New TOTk.-The British govern
ment has opened negotiations to pur-
chase the American copper carried by
i've steamers seized by English war
ships at Gibraltar, but at a price less
than the average cost of production,
according to a statement issued by the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany, which has Joined with three 9th
er copper companies in sending to Sec
rotary OF State Bryan telegram urg-
ing him 10 seek the release of the
vessels.
Information of the seizure OF only
three steamers had been received at
the time the message was sent to
Secretary Bryan, but later advices to
the copper companies added two more
TO the list, the Prosper III, for Malice,
Sweden, and the Ascot for Genoa
The smelling company, in its state
ment, asserts that the British govern
ment has aimed serious blow at the
American copper industry by includ-
ing that metal in the list of contra
band. England's action is said to be
a clear case OF restraint of trade by
a foreign government"
While the greater part of the COP
per included in the cargOes of the
five ships seized has been refined, the
statement says, some of it is ~besse-
merized,' or unreined copper, which
is used in large quantities in Italy for
the manufacture OF sulphate OF cop
per. The sulphate is usel in making

AUSTRlANS ARE STUNNED

Will This Country Help?
Reports to the Belgian legation at
Washington of the miserable condi-
tons among the inhabitants of the
captured country, whose fields and
storehouses have been ravaged and
laid waste by four armies, have
prompted the Belgian minister, Mr..
Havenith, to redouble his efforts to
obtain funds in the United States for
the relief of his destitute people.
Open Way for Belgian Relief.
As a result of the urgent represen-
tations made to the foreign office by
w. H. Page, the American ambassa-
dor, the British government has given
| its permission for the raising Of the
existing embargo for foodstuffs to the
| extent OF allowing ships to depart for
Holland with a quarter of million

American committee for the relief of
