Washington, Feb. f2-The note to Germany warning against menace to American lives and property in the new naval war zone about the Brit isns Isless and the note to Great Britain pointing out the danger to neutral shipping by any general use of the American. flag over belligerent merchant vessels, were discussed at to- days cabinet meeting but all administration officials re- frained from comment upon them.
 Secretary Bryan would say no more than that the United States had. been advised of the receipt of papers in London and Berlin.
 Await Word at Capital.
 Administration officials looked for ward to the receipt late todayfof the preliminary advises from Annbassa.- dors Page and Gerard at London and Berlin. respectively, describing the altitude of British and German ofz- e5als toward the Eve notes agarnins against possible menace to American
 
 war;
 Publication of the text of the two documents produced widespread com ment among officials, members or Congress and diplomats. most of whom regarded them as the most eEl- phatfc expression from the Washing ton government on the conduct of belligerents during the present war and presagings perhaps, further rep resentatfons on what seem to the American government violations of the rule of warfare.
 Germany has now been informed that the imperial German government will be held ''to strict accounts BElity'' by the United States for any acts which were would cause the loss of American vessels or the death of American citizens. A warning that eff such a deplorable situation arose. any steps fit might be necessary to American lives was contained in the note to Germany. This was inserted it was explained in the document, in order that consideration might be given t.to the critical situation respect of the relation between this seountry' and Germany which might arise were the German naval vessels to destroy any American vessels or cause the death of American citizens" Great Britain was similarly advised that a general misuse of her vessels of the American flag to escape the consequences of war would cast doubt on the real character of vessels bn- titled to fly the stars and stripes and thus impose, it Would seems a meas ure of responsibility on the British government if American vessels or 1 lives were lost by the carrying out of the German proclamation of sublna- rine warfare,

SITUATION UNCHANGED
 ALONG RATTLE FRONTS

London, Feb. 12-The Russian in clirsion into East Prussia appears, Judging from despatches reaching London, likely to be as short-lived as were the previous Russian raids into this same district. Germany2s superb equipment and strategic rail- ways in this territory have enabled her within a. few days to throw irn-- mense bodies of troops against the invaders.
 Tn the present case the German sol diers appear to have been rushed into East Prussia from both Poland and other points.
 In the. Carpathians the situation looks favorable to the Russians who are pressing against the Austrian de- lenders at three of the most important mountain passes and this in spite of the difficulties interposed by snow blocked roads. Berlin admits that the Russians have entered EunSariau territory at several points in the Car pathian district but declares that these positions were most easily bought In view of the terrible casualties Inflicted by Austrian artillery and machine guns on the Russian masseq forna- tions.
 Tn Russian Poland the Germans hold the belief that Russia is prefering to fall back to her second line and the Russian trench sdefenses in that re- zion will be assisted iby the moodlng of great sections of the inteFvenins country.
 The London newspapers profess to believe that the German submarine attack on the British steamer Laertes, flying the Dutch flag, will precipitste more stringent measures against Ger man trade, which was promised by Premier Asquith yesterday in the House of Commons. The Daily Mail saws it believes the government will announce a complete blockade Of the German coast as 2 result of which sll goods to Germany by sea 57lu be iia.cls

they succeeded In getting a rope TO the
cutter. When she was near enough
the naval men jumped aboard the
