WAsHiNGToN, March 6.-The Ameri-
Anglo-French announcement to neutrals
respecting the Intentions Of the Allies
to cut off trade with Germany n her
allies was drafted at the state Depart
ment to-day.
1t is practically certain that the docu-
ment will be in the hands of the Ameri-
can ambassadors at London and Paris
in time for presentation to the British
and French foreign offices on Monday
even with full allowance for all the
mechanical detail Of conducting diplo-
matte correspondence.
AZ has been stated in these des-
patches the note to Great Britain and
France while described as an inquiry

stitute "A complete statement Of not

Morgan Robertson, inventor of the periscope, the "eye'' of the dread submarine, author and poet, died suddenly standing up at Atlantic City, N. J., where he had gone for his health. The discovery of his death was as tragic as some of his tales of fiction, which included 'Titan,'' writ ten in 1898, and depicting the sink ing in midocean through collision with an iceberg of a modern queen of the seas. This story was actually duplicated by the Titanic disaster in 1912. Mr. Robertson's body was dis covered standing upright between the wall and bureau. Death was caused by weak heart. Mr. Robertson was sixty-five years old and lived at Mo-
 149 West Thirty-fifth street. The periscope was first conceived by Mir. Robertson in his book, "The Subma- rine Destroyer" published in 1905.

According 10 the admission of the Ger

How serious this forced retreat Is can
be gained from the official German
statement IL says the withdrawal was
made after two strong night attacks
had been repulsed and in the face OF a
third attack This indicates that the
offensive power of the Russians must BE-
greatly increased. and military observers
here expect the next few days TO bear
out the tehory that the Cars forces,
in the Riga region at least, have been
slowly but steadily regalning the upper
hand and that their striking power may
develop proportions unexpected by the

as follows:
During the last few days two more
important cases of espionage have been
detected by the German authorities In
Belgium and northern France.
I'm Belgium twenty-one persons have
been arrested. After confining their
energies for several months to obtaining
and sending news 10 France via Hol-
land, in September they prepared to
blow up railroads and buildings with
dynamite and also assisted military ref
uGees to escape from Belgium and
France
"Among those charged with commit
ting crimes endangerlng the safety of
the German army are four women. The
espionage system unearthed in northern
France Is alleged to have been managed
by the wife of French officer who re-
ceived instructions direct from French
military authorities. Two other women
have been arrested as the confederates
of this woman.
The extsnt OF this espionage organi-
zation may be Judged by the fact that
the persons arrested figure prominently
in the lists Of the French secret SER
vice"
The guilt of the accused, II IN a asserted
