Kaiser's Forces Making Violent At
tempts to Break Through Lines
of Enemy, but Meet With No
Success
WARSAW REPORTED TO BE
SERIOUSLY THREATENED
German Government Has No OBJ
jections to Sending of Food
Stuffs to BeIgians From U. S.

Violent attacks and countcr-attacks
Tor possession of the SeaCOast in the
extreme north of France continue
without decisive results.
Onely one official statement-that
from Paris-had come through early
TINS afternoon. 1t threw little light
on the situation, being brief and re-
Ierring to events of yesterday. Tho
attacks OF the Germans, especially Sc
we're at Nieuport, DiXmude and La
Eassee, Tuesday, were repulsed, says
the French War Office. There was
no noteworthy change elsewhere on
the battle front. News dispatches in
dictate the sharpest fighting in the
vicinity of Lille with renewal of ac-
t1Nity at various points all along the
line. Counter claims regarding the
situation in the East leave much to
speculation. There appears, however,
little doubt that the German advance
i'll Russian Poland has been so success
ful that Warsaw Is seriously threat
encd. IrZemysl remains in possession
OF the AuStro-GeTman forces. There
has been Il renewal of activity in East
crn Prussia without definite result. A
statement from Vienna issued yester-
day says that the fighting in Central
Galicia has become more severe and
that the AuStrianS' attacks are pro-
crossing.
Battle in Baltic
A news dispatch from Copenhagen
says that German torpedo boats have
| been engaged with an enemy in the
Battle off the Prussian coast. No de-
tails were given. Albania looms again
as possible influence upon the atti-
tude of Italy towards the war. The
Italian governments to-day denied that
| Italian troops had occupied Avlona,
which has been threatened by insur-
gents since the abdication of Prince
William. At the same time the Gior-
male DItalia, of Rome, declares that
there is u state of anarchy at Avlona.
Estimates that Greece is taking advan-
tage of the disturbed conditions, and
declares that the Italian government
has notified the powers that il will not
tolerate Il violation of the integrity
of Albania. Rome reports officially
that the Anglo-Erench fleet is still
! bombarding Cattaro, Dalmatia.
Turkeys attitude is a matter of con-
Germ of all the belligerents. The
Sublime Porte Is reported to have for
Smyrna. The inhabitants of Smyrna
recently were said to have been In
great fear of naval attack. An
Athens dispatch says:
Two submarines and some aero
planes are being shipped to COnstanti-
nopIc through Bulgaria" \ few days
ago a large quantity of munitions of
held up in Bulgaria.
Plan Aerial Campaign
There are further rumOrS of a Ger
man intention to begin n great aerial
campaign. Following reports that air
sheds were being constructed at Brus-
sells and Antwerp, come rumors of
similar buildings under way at Tom
dern. in Schleswig, and at Rostock.
No damage was done in the cities
of Client and Bruges when they were
occupied without resistance by the
Germans. according to dispatch from
Berlin. The German government has
informed Washington Ii has no objec-
ton TO the plan to send foodstuifs to
Belgian noncombatants.
Thousands of Belgians who fled into
Holland are returning to their homes.
There are, however, 100000 Belgians
i'm England and more on their way
there. Preparations to give employ
ment to these latter are being made.
A revolutionary outbreak in Portu-
gal Is reported. Beyond the statement
that the movement was suppressed few
details arc given in n message from
Lisbon. 1T is probable that the Royal
lists have seized the opportunity af-
forded thy the departure of large
contingent of the army for Portuguese
possessions i'm Africa.
