BeIgians Capture Ground.

All the PetrOgrad correspondents re
fer to the capture of a large number
of Germans as a new phase of the war
and credit it to the lack of officers
among the German armies and the
large number of young unframed men
who have been drafted into them.
The Russian offensive extends to
what is now known as the Bura-Raw,
ka front, where they successfully op,
posed Field Marshal Won linden
burg's attempt to advance on Warsaw
in December and January.
Hard battles also were fought in
western Galicia and in the Carpathi-
ans, but without bringing any notable
change in the situation.
In eastern Galicia the Russians re-
port another repulse for the A~ustrians,
who have again lost many prisoners.
The Belgian army, reorganized and
re-equipped, has again been taking
part in the fight for the recovery Of
its country, and has advanced across
the User and taken a farm from the
Germans, and it's artillery has demol-
ished two German works.
The fact that the Queen Elizabeth
is in commission suggests that her
four sister ships, all of which were
laid down within a few weeks of each
other, are either in the fighting line or

GERMANY YIELDS
TO U. S. PROTEST
Will Agree on Important Points
if Britain Also Changes Tactics
TO END WAR ZONE TERROR
Would Use Force Against Merchant
Ships Only to Search Them-Food
Proposal Indorsed-Sees Practi-
cal Basis for Solution of Problem.

Washington-Germany's reply to the
latest American note concerning the
naval war zone has been handed to
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin. The
German Government now agrees to
make many important concessions to
the United States provided Great
Britain yields in the matter of placing
an embargo on food shipments to Ger
many.
Informal suggestions submitted by
President Wilson bring assurance that
the Kaiser's Government is ready to
meet the foe in restricting the use OF
mines, and would permit submarines
to employ force only to search vessels.
Merchantmen must not be armed, nor
hide under neutral flags, however.
Germany demands the free passage
of food to supply her civil population.
Is willing that the United States
should appoint agents in Germany to
whom goods would be consigned and
who would supervise distribution.
Would hold Great Britain, however, to
provisions OF the Declaration of Lon
don regarding the placing of raw ma
terials on the c~ontraband list. Presi-
dent Wilson is encouraged by this at
titude.

RUSSIAN ARMIES NOW ON THE OFFENSIVE

London.-Great battles are raging
in both arenas of the European wal.
Paris and Berlin announced that vio-
lent fighting is under way IN the Cham-
payne region, where the Allies began
an attack several days ago, and that
the losses have been unusually heavy.
The Germans said new French at
tacks, made with strong forces, were
repelled in most cases and that the
French losses were enormous.
The Russian armies are lighting
along virtually the whole eastern
front. In North Poland, having by
means of large reinforcements been
able to resume the offensive, they are
slowly pushing the Germans back to
the East Prussian frontier.
In the Carpathians and Eastern Ca
licia they have been engaged for sew
eral days in resisting fierce and re-
peated attacks by the Austrians.
Except in front of the fortress of
Ossowetz, which they are still bonn
harding with their heavy guns, the
Germans say the Russian official re-
borts, have turned their backs upon
the Russian railways-their first OBJ
~jective when they emerged from East
Prussia on the heels of the retreating
Russians a short time ago.
The Russian offensive extends
across Poland to the Lower Vistula,
where the Russian troops are holding
back the Germans who threatened
their lines south of that river.
For the moment, however, the Car
pathians is the scene of the heaviest
fighting. The Austrians, despite their
repeated defeats and heavy losses in
men and guns, have returned to the
offensive and with the aid of large ar
tillery r-einforcements have delivered
a vigorous attack between the Ondawa
and San rivers.
The slopes of the mountains and the
ravines are reported to be strewn with
dead.
Still further to the east, near the
town of Stanislau, which once again
is reported to be in Russian hands,
the armies have met, and the Rus

been forced to retire.

east, the Germans are reported to be
sending strong reinforcements to the
west for a new attempt which they are
to make to break through the Allies
lines in France and Flanders.

have been warned to prepare to billet
a large number of German soldiers,
which indicates that Germany is max
ing preparations for another great

London.-The allied fleet Of forty
British and French warships landed
men and guns near the destroyed
Dardanelles forts, and British and
French flags were raised over the cap
tured ground.
The feet continled a bombardment
of the inner forts. A powder maya

The Premier emphasized, however.
that vessels and cargoes so seized
