VONH|NDENBURCT TRYING
 TO FLANK WARSAW
Germans in East Prussia Locked
 With Russian Achievements.

London, Feb. 20, 12:12 D. The third day of the German submarine blockade was ushered in without Great Britain's retaliatory policy, de- clarng all food destined for Germany to be absolute contraband, being defi- nitely promulgated through the for eign office. The British reply to the American note regarding the Wilhel- nina incident presages that such ac- tion will be taken and, as the doc ument points out. Great Britain hopes when she takes this step to meet with no objection from neutral countries.
 German movements on the northern extremity of the eastern battle front hold first place in the military situa- tion, particularly so as Petrograd be- lieves that Field Marshal Won Hin denburg is trying to flank Warsaw from the north, a task which the Rus sians think is rather daring and fraught with great risks unless the German commanders forces are over wheIming.
 German Rush Checked.
 The first rush of the Germans over the. East Prussian frontier seems to have spent itself. The Germans are now reported to be locked with Rus sian achievements at many points from the Niemen river below Kovno down to the right bank of the lower Vistula, and military experts in Lon don say it is difficult to visualize this position.
 The campaign in the Austrian crown land of Bukowina continues, with prospects of developing into a decisive battle on the banks of the River Pruth.
 Costly to Both Sides.
 In, Galicia the repeated violent Aus trian attacks against the Russian posi- tions in the Carpathian passes have been costly to both sides, but they have left the alignment little changed.
 In the west the Germans are ham mering away in an endeavor to re- cover lost ground and are reported to be keeping the British troops especial ly busy to the southeast of Ypres, in Belgium and elsewhere along their comparatively extended front, but, ac- cording to French and British claims, without making appreciable gains.

PROTESTS DUTY ON
 CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Father of British Soldier Objects to Paying Tax on Token of Prin-
 cess Mary to His Son.

~''
 Correspondence of the Associated Press
 London, Feb. 2O-The father of member of the British expeditionarv force has lodged a protest with the government against having to nav a duty of sixpence on one of Princess Mary's Christmas gifts to the soldiers which was sent home by the son.
 Princess Mary sent a little box of comforts and delicacies to every man in uniform on foreign soil. Many of the recipients sent their boxes home years. Although the boxes went out with the army supplies, those sent back were considered by the post Of flee as exports from foreign lands, and consequently the tobacco con- ta1ned in them was subjected to a heavy customs tax. According to the officials. the sixpence must be paid in asmuch as the Princess failed to ex- port her gifts in bond.
 One of the Christmas boxes sent to the front was packed by the Princess Mary herself, who put in a slip of paper asking the recipient to send an acknowledgement to Buckingham palace. The finder did so in these words:
 Thank you. Received by me, 97SO Munster Fusiliers.''

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 20.-Harry of the Los Angeles Times and mll- lonaire land owner, was indicted yes terday by the federal grand jury here in connection with an alleged conspir- acy which had for it's object a mii- tary occupation of the Mexican terri tory of Lower California.

 Surprised at SIovncss.
 Fresh from their own successful strategy and determined offensive in driving the Austrians back, they could not understand the comparative slow ness of the movements on, the west European front. Russia, they know. has many of their own difficulties of insufficient transportation for her forces, but they cannot understand why England and France with every mode of transport at their convent ence, with an abundance of supplies and equipment of every kind, should not have made greater headway against the Germans.

All our time will be spent in reforming our army which is naturally somewhat shat tered by the great trial through which it has passed. Now that we have plenty of ammunition and better equipment, it will not again be so easy for the enemy to advance into the heart of our country
 Belgrade Is Safe.
 DO you think Belgrade is now safe ?" the correspondent asked.
 Yes, unless the Austrians send overwh elming forces against it. In war. numbers must always tell up to a certain point, but the Austrians will not win without severe losses to them selves as well as to us. Our courage, and purpose are in no way lessened, as you may we'll imagine by the fact that we have twice been victorious over the enemy He began the war, but it is not in his power or ours to end it. We shall stay by our Russian and French allies to the very end.
