London. July 15.--Abandoning for
the moment their attempt to outflank
Warsaw from the SOUTH the Germans
probably under Field Marshal Won
llndenberg. who is reported to have
said few days ago he would shortly
astonish the world, have renewed
the north. They not only captured a
large number of prisoners in south
kolno according to the report issued
by Berlin, but occupied PrZasnsZ, the
fortified town fifty miles north Of War
saw, which was taken by Won linden
berg in his great drive from east Prs.
sia last winter, but was retaken by
the Russians in their counter offen-
sive
Partly Confirmed.
This claim was partly confirmed by
q Hussian official report yesterday
stating the Russians in face of strong
German forces withdrew to their sec
ond line of entrenchments. This move
on the part of the Germans has taken
the military critics completely by sur
prise. 1t is generally supposed that
General Won Mackensen would, after
being strengthened, continue his at
tempt to reach the LublindXcholm rail-
way, thus forcing the evacuation Of
Warsaw, but, as in all their opera
tiOnS, the Germans have done the un-
expected
The new offensive probably will be
general and extend from the Baltic
around the east Prussan border to
the Vistula west Of Warsaw, for all
the Russian troops in this section
must be kept busy to prevent them
con etntrating at a point where the,
Germahs hope to break through.
In France the Argonne continues to
be the scene of the hardest fighting,
but the operations here as elsewhere
in the west, are officially reported in
contradictory manner. r....r aeeTrf
Coal Mines Idle. EG+
With the exception of two small
collieries in the Rhonda district, all
the coal mines in south Wales, from
which comes the coal for the navy,
are idle today and miners, despite the
action of the government bringing the
industry under the munitions war act
md The entreaties of responsible lab
or leaders, decided by vote of $50 to
ll3 not to accept the recommends
tons and continue work day by day
until an arrangement is reached.
A conference, however, was agreed
upon to discuss the situation with the
president Of the board tomorrow.
Limit Export of Cotton.
The British government hopes very
shortly to limit the export Of cotton
to neutral countries to the precise
amount of actual need. The Marquis
of Crewe, Lord President of the Coun-
Gil and Liberate Leader of the House
Of Lords made this announcement to
the upper house. ..
Spy Put to Death.
Two strongly held Turkish lines de-
Tending the Dardanelles were captur-
ed by the Anglo-French forces on the
Gallipoli peninsula, according to an
announcement of the British official
press bureau.
Another German spy has been put
to death in England, after having been
convicted by court martial. He is
Robert Rosenthal, who was arrested
in London early in June, confessing,
it is alleged, to officials of the Scot
land Yard that he was sent to Eng
land by the German admiralty to OBJ
tain information concerning the Brit
