LONDON, Feb. 22.-Germany's sub
marine activities, the sinking of the
American steamer Evelyn in the North
Sea, and the Anglo-French search for
hostile underwater craft, continues the
chief topic of interest throughout the
United Kingdom this morning. In mer-
chant shipping circles, keenest interest
is evinced in events transpiring within
Germany's naval war zone, though few
sailings have been cancelled, and Brit
ish vessels, apparently, continue NOV
ing with their usual freedom. The re-
ported sinking of British transport
by German submarine could not be
confirmed at the Admiralty this afte~-
noon.
Representatives of the Scandinavian
neutrals, Norway, Sweden and Den
mark, are holding a conference today
the question of securing to the PENN
sular countries an adequate and relia-
BILE food supply occupying foremost at
tention. The German proposal that
neutral Warships convoy merchant YES
sells within the danger zone will be dis
cussed at this conference, though
guarded comments in Stockholm news
papers, indicate such steps might
force the Scandinavian countries into
the conflict. The situation there is
already serious, the food supply being
insufficient to sustain the population
many months, and with both England
and Germany literally filling the wa
ters of the North Sea with deadly float.
ing mines.
Trade routes between the countries
and the rest of the world can no lon
ger ce guaranteed by England, and
with German submarines cruising
about in an avowed search for mer-
chant vessels which are to be destroy
ed without warning, it is now ex-
tremely hazardous for neutral ships
to venture into any of the waters sur
roundin gthe peninsula. The agricul-
tural resources of the three nations
are wholly inadequate to supply the
people with even the barest necessities
of life, and with all the ports of the
peninslar closed to the rest of the
world the people of Norway, Sweden
and Denmark now face absolute star
vation.
The Russians and Austrians con-
tinue in struggle to the death in the
Carpathians, where large German ar
my continues to attack Dukla Pass and
other strategic points, where repeater
attempts have failed to dislodge the
Russians. The fighting there during
the day has been of most sanguinary
nature, according to advices from both
Petrograd and Vienna, but neither ar
my has been able to score a decisive
advantage, and it may yet be several
days before the struggle is ended. In
Bukowina, Russian force continues
to resist the Austrian advance, and
much territory in that province con-
tinues to be dominated by the Gar.
In the west throughout Sunday and
today, military activities have been of
unusual interest. Following the prev
ious plan of campaign, French troops
began vigorous offensive co-incident
with the Russian retirement in East
Prussia, large numbers of men being
hurled against the German lines in
the north of France, especially in the
Champagne country, where important
successes have just been won by Gen.
Joffre's troops. One entire section Of
German trenches in this region were

OLIVER TRIAL
STILL CREATES
MUCH INTEREST

In Amerieus the A. D. Oliver murder
case and the pending commitment trial
Of the six men held in Leesburg Jail in
connection Herewith continues today,
the subject of absorbing interest. The
preliminary hearing is announced for
Wednesday morning next, and great
crowd will throng the little town down
in Lee to witness the proceedings.
Many Americas people, friends and rel
atives of three OF the young men in
custody, will attend the trial.
For day or two the six men, Roy
Jones, Roy Black, j. C. Webb, the two
Chances, and Kennedy were allowed
the freedom of a boarding house in
Leesburg but yesterday afternoon all
of the sextette were returned to Jail,
where they are crowded in small quar-
ters. While they are held within the
building, they are allowed the privilege
of seeing and talking with any visitors.
None of them seems in the least wor-
ried. They laugh and talk, telling
jokes among themselves, and closely
question outsiders as to the latest de-
velopments in the case.
Dispute as to Murder Car.
Two negroes, it now seems, saw the
murder car just after the shooting
They differ, according to reports, in the
appearance of the machine. One stat
ed, it is claimed, that it was a long,
two-seated car. The other has already
said that it was racer" a long car
with one seat, tanks prominent on the
back, and a couple or so of extra tires
fastened on its tail.
1t seems, from information gathered,
that the shells used in killing Oliver
were reloaded for the occasion. His
assassins were apparently not going to
take any chances in missing him. BIB
shot, which are heavy, were mixed to-
gether in the shells, packed so tightly
that 20-guage wad had to be placed
on top of them in 16-gauge shell.

NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM Woman Who Had Suffered for Many Years Is Cured by Bolt of
 Liehtnina.

The medical faculty was put to shame by bolt of lightning which the other night struck the farmhouse of Charles A. Burdick, on Washing ton Ridge, says the Berlin tConn.) correspondent of the New York Her aid. The electric bolt destroyed arti- cles in all the eight rooms of the house and did damage exceeding $1,- 900, but it cured Mrs. Burdick of rheu- matism, from which she had suffered for many years.
 Mrs. Burdick was about to put wood in the kitchen stove when the bolt struck her, knocking her down and rendering her unconscious. One of her feet was on zinc beneath the stove. The lightning took a nail out of the sole of her shoes and her foot was severely burned. Dr. Thomas Mulligan of New Britain soon revived her.
 Today Mrs Burdick, although suf- fering from the burns on her foot. was free from rheumatic pains She does not think the price her husband must pay in repairs to the house too high, but MT. Burdick is discreetly si- lent.
