LUSITANIA CAPTAIN
FOILED GERMANS
Pursued by Karlsruhe Last Sum-

Off New Jersey Coast.

Friends Of Captain David Dow OF the
Lusitania recalled yesterday that last
summer when close pressed by the
Karlsruhe he got out Of the FIX by his
own British wits without resortlng 10

clared. The liners were snesking out
of New York at o'clock in the morn

cruisers were patrollng the coast. IN
the gloom of a Wednesday morning the
Iusitania left. Only thre of her four
propellers were in commission. she

CAPTAIN Dow, who was on the brldge,
made out q black hulk on his starooaro

that it was the Karlsruhe. The Lusi-

made a half turn and ran south. Mean
time she sent out wireless calls for the
British cruiser Essex.

the Essex and received the information
that the Leipsic was waiting for the
fugitive off Atlantic Highlands. The
Iusitania WAS advised TO head out tc

weigh ten tons. fatal defect on the
Polish roads in their present condi-
ton, whereas the Russian motor
weighs only two tons. The inventive

the wire entanglements. All carry in

which poles twenty feet long are COM
bined with the wire to make the bar

provided with axes as well as wire cut
ters. These and many other ready

strong Russian defence.
The stubborn character of the bat
ties developing in the extreme north Of
East Prussia is attracting the attention
of the Russian General staff. which
sees there indications that the Ger
mans have withdrawn troops from the
Bzura region and messed them in the
vicinity of Insterburg, between Gum
binnen and Tilsit. The operations here
are becoming a new factor in the situa
ton, and lead 10 the belief that the
fierce attack on Borjimow and Goumine
was more in the nature of demon
stration than a serious effort TO break
through toward Warsaw. At Borjimow
the Russians appear TO be more than
holding their own, having pierced the
German second line trenches.
Military observers. reviewing the
entire situation, say il is satisfactory
on the whole, although they are not
of the opinion that the crisis has ar
rived. In spite Of the activity Of the
Germans further north, staff officials
still attach the greatest Importance to
the movement in the Carpsthians

the Austro- Germans, who are in ire
mendous force on a line which forms
the arc of circle in the vicinity OF

The Russians are awake 70 this pos

TURKS ATTACK ON

Cairo, Feb. Two facts, at any
rate. emerge from the scanty details
allowed to reach Cairo Of the battle on
the Sucz Canal last Tuesday and
Wednesday. The fighting was gooo
deal fercer, and the Turkish troops
were a good deal pluckier than was at
first supposed. The repulse was com
nlete and would certainly have been
turned into a rout had not the obvious
nolicv of the British been to refuse all
temptations to be drawn into dangerous
and difficult operations in the wilder
ness. To the Turks must be given
credit not only for having brought a
considerable force to bear on the canal,
but also for having charged that I'M
passable barrier with courage, which,
however largely it may have resulted
from ignorance, was certainly little
short of heroic.
Out of 200 Turks who attacked the
point on the canal Immediately oppo-
site Tusun railway station nifty were
killed and the remainder wounded or

After Wild Dash for Russian Trenches Germans ta tx
hausted and Cars Troops Advance Amid Ranks OF
Dead-Carpathians Fight Goes On.

The terrible slaughter of these bat
ties served to disclose General Won
Hindenburg's limitations. His prepa-
rations were aimed at delivering a sud
den shock on one narrow vantage point,
but the element Of suddenness failed,
and the Russians in two days estab-
lished their scendancy both IN
strength and readiness. All this time
the Russian army of the extreme north
keeps forcing its way across the marshy
country above lnsterburg, although
meeting increasing resistance.

suit yet. but the Russian position
keeps satisfactory. The Austrian line
is rot strong enough for an ambitious
