The British Admiralty's statement
on the raid is as follows:
Combined aeroplane and seaplane
operations have been carried out by
the naval wing in the Bruges, Zee

districts. with view to preventing
the development of submarine bases
and establishments. Thirty-four naval
aeroplanes and seaplanes took part.
Great damage is reported to have
been done TO the Ostend railway sta

formation, has probably been burned
TO the ground. The railway station at
Blankenberghe was damaged and the
railway lines were torn up in many
places.
Bombs we're dropped on gun posi-
tions at Middelkerke. and also on the
power station and the German mine

damage done Is unknown.

she has declared do so at their own
risk. II is admitted that very serious
situation will be presented.
In that case the United States would
be confronted with the alternative
either OF warning its merchant vessels
to keep out of the declared war zone
or run the risk of a disaster which
would infame public sentiment in this
country.
1t is evident from the American
note that the government does not
intend to warn its vessels 10 keep out
Of the war zone, no matter what Ger
many's attitude may be, but will insist
upon their right to traverse the de-
clared zone without danger OF attack.
II attack should be threatened
through the position which Germany
will take, then the question would
arise as to what steps the United
States should take to insure the safe
voyage OF its merchant vessels.
The expert opinion is that in such
circumstances the United States would
be forced TO furnish a naval convoy
for all United States merchant yes
sells which entered the declared sea
war zone.
Neutrality Situation Changes.
The taking Of American war vessels
into the war zone undoubtedly would
be grave STEP but in no other way
could the safe passage of American
merchant vessels be assured.
The neutrality situation appears to
have undergone complete change.
Heretofore the situation has been that
partisans Of both Germany and Great
Britain have been complaining that
the United States was not maintaining
strict neutrality.
Now the United States government
is officially representing to both Great
Britain and Germany that their prac-
tees and declarations are interfering
with the neutral rights of the United
States in such manner as may shake
the strict neutrality which the United
States is anxious to maintain.

Teutonic Allies Also Gain On Lower

London All eyes now are turned
upon East Prussia, where the German
Army, under the observation, If not the
command, of Emperor William, has
taken the offensive and compelled the
Russians to evacuate their positions
east of the Mazurian Lakes and retire
to their own territory
The Russians refer to this as q
strateglcal retirement, but the German
official communication intimates that
the appearance in this district Of
new. strong German force was sur.
prise to the Russians and that the
Germans captured $4,000 prisoners. 20
cannon and 80 machine guns in addi-
tion to lot of war material.
Second Defeat in Same Region.
II the German statement is correct
the Russian reverse apparently is al
most as serious as that which the Mus
covite forces suffered in the same
place early in the war.
Before the German official communi
cation was received in London, mill
tary men were inclined to look upon
the Russian retirement as wise
move, declaring that II would compel
the Germans TO fight the battle on
Russian territory and away from their
strategical railways. The army which
the Germans flung so suddenly into
East Prussia is believed to have mum
bered 100000 men and to have been
made up OF soldiers who have been
fighting on the Bzura and western
fronts and of units OF the new army
which has just completed training in
Central Germany.

 LONDON-Plans of descriptions of @ rebuilt Louvoin, prepared by Ger man artists and architects, have been distributed in Louvain in order to get the Belglans interested in this work. but SO far only few new houses have been erected among the ruins. The descriptions are in the Flemish language.
 An English governess who is just been released by the German authori- ties and who has come to London de- clares that the Germans are using ev- cry means possible to ingratiate them selves with the people of Louvain. As the ruins serve to remind the Bel glans of their woes, the Germans are doing all in their power to enforce rebuilding But the people are antag- onlstic. and want the ruins to stand until they can be seen by all the world.
 Brussels and the towns generally are quite Germanlzed now, she says Even the roadsign posts bear the names of places in German. The cit ies and country are full of spies, male and female, and who pretend to be Belgian patriots, SO that the people are extremely cautious in what they say to strangers.
 While Belgium appears calm enough there is a strong undercurrent of an- tagonism. and tho Germans have to submit to constant pinpricks.
