success"
All the newspapers speak of the sub

the fact that "H-21" is operating 1000
miles from her base, which is a greater
radius Of activity than hitherto con-
Sidered possible.

here today. On top of the advance of
last week, ranging from ~ to S1s
cents, quotations today leaped more
than cents, May selling at $1.54 a

Increasing urgency Of European de-
mand for wheat was indicated by a
decided fresh upturn in prices at Liver

$1.55ss. Removal of import duties on
all grain by Italy and Sweden had
much to do with the new advance. Dis
patches printed on the ticker here said

been added to the price shortly after

London, Feb. 1.-Once again British
interest in military activities on the
continent has been overshadowed mo-

Petrograd, Feb. 1.-Rl,ssian military
authorities believe Field Marshal Him
denburg is planning another thrust at
Warsaw and that. in fact, he already is
developing general attack along the
Warsaw front. Especial significance is
attached to the violence with which the
Germans are resuming their attacks in
the Wisgogrod district at the junction
of the Bzura and Vistula rivers and
further south near Bolimow.
In east Prussia the Russians are
gradually extending their lines north
ward. The most recent development Is
the raid across the frontier at Tilsit
where are located German granaries
containing large stores.
From the viewpoint of. Russian stan
officers. however, chief interest still
centers on the engagements in the
Carpathians.
Fall Of Tabriz Significant.
The occupation by the Russians Of
Tabriz, while of little Importance
strategically, is considered of signifi-
canoe here on the theory that 1t will
impair Turco-German prestige in

Having been cut of from Tabri1 they
took to fight. On Jan 30 we occupied
