movement. Their official announce ment reports the capture of German post on the right bank of the Yser, with the consequent evacuation by the Germans of adjoining trenches.
 Problem for Germans.
 It is believed in London that the new move in the west will again bring the Germans face to face with the necessity of making choice be- tween the two fronts, as was the case earlier in the war. Military writers point out that the Russians are now holding the Austrians and Germans on a front of 700 miles, while the presence of nearly 100000 strongly entrenched Germans has failed to prevent an advance in France. This they say, must increase the perplex- ities of the German general staff and react immediately on any plans which may have been formed for new at tacks in the south or southeast.

Seals Again Plentiful.

Under the precautions taken to pre-
vent the extinction of the fur seals in
Alaska and the Pribilof Islands. the
species has multiplied SO rapidly that
the bureau of fisheries now recommends
that the killing of male seals be re-
sumed.
Ever since the signing of the PeIagic
treaty between Russia. England. Japan
and our own nation, prohibiting the de-
struction of cow seals upon the high
seas, the government has taken an oc-
casional census of the seals The last
Of these fixed the number OF seals
owned by the United States at 301,844,
as against less than 10000 in 1906.
Besides fur, other possible use Of
the seal is being considered by the
bureau of fisheries. The scarcity of
the worlds meat supply and the tre-
mendous increase in seals as revealed
by the last scensus suggest the shipping
of seal meat to the United States for
food. Those who have tasted it say
that meat from a young seal is deli
cious in flavor and that seal steak
would be popular addition to fash
ionable hotel menu.
