London reports: 1.-THE Germans
have been making desperate efforts
the last few days to break the extend
ed deadlock on Eastern and Western
fronts. They have delivered a series
Of attacks, always preceded by artil-
lery activity, on the allied lines in
Flanders and France and, while in
almost every case they have thus won
a preliminary advantage, before the
fighting was concluded, the French,
British or Belgians have resained the
trenches temporarily lost and in some
cases have occupied the German posi-
tions.
'The German artillery has subject
ed the Belgian positions in Flanders
to severe bombardment, which sug-
gests that the moment has arrived
for another effort to get across the
User and thence to the French coast
ports.
"In return the French have bonn
| barded the railway station at Noyon,
one Of the German military centres,
behind their advanced lines.
Heavy attacks have been made
against the Russian lines in central
Poland. Faced by fanking move
ments both north and south, Field
Marshal Won Hindenberg made a des-
| perate effort, which apparently is to
be renewed to break through to War
saw and thus not only gain q great
military and political advantage for
Germany but at the same time re-
lease the pressure on Hungary and
East Prussia, in each of which re-
gions the Russian troops are slowly
pushing forward.
"The fighting west and southwest
Of the Polish capital has been Of q
desperate character and the Germans
at first were successful but the Rus
sion Official report declares that the
Russians by a counterattack regained
most Of the lost ground. The report
adds that the German losses were,
colossal The German official ac-s
count simply says Of the fighting
there: Making progress
London news from Dover is that
five Zeppelin dirigible balloons, pre-
sumably moving inland, Monday had
been fired on ny the forts broke the
nonotony Of news from battle fronts,
where none Of the armies has deliver
ed blow sufficient to cause any shift
Of its alignment.
while it was learned from the
police that the war Office had issued
orders to prepare for IN air raid, It
was impossible to ascertain whether
this precaution was taken because air
craft really had been sighted, or as
a rehearsal. Parts Of the city Of
London, warned, had blinds drawn
for more than two hours, but moth
ing happened.
German submarine attacks on
British merchant ships again were
the paramount topic Of discussion.
and predictions were made that food
prices, already advancing; would &c
still higher if more raids are accom-
plished. West coast shipping still Is
somewhat upset, the Dublin Steam
Packet company announcing tempor-
ary abandonment OF all sailings with
Belfast, Liverpool and Glasgow. One
other Dublin company also has sus-
pended sailings, but other schedules
are being maintained. -
1.-THE chief solace Great Britain
finds in the German submarine at.
tacks is that the craft thus used can
not take part in regular naval opera
ticns
"a German submarine still was at
large in the English channel Tuesday
and the French officially report an
attempt to torpedo the hospital ship
Asturias. The German submarine
submarine U-21, which recently sank
three steamers in the Irish sea, has
not been seen since Sunday, and it Is
presumed she has withdrawn. Traf-
fee in those waters, however, con-
| tinues somewhat restricted, ship
owners preferring to keep in port all
but the fast steamers which it is be-
lieved can elude the submarines.
''The Germans have issued q warn
/ ing that an attempt will be made to
sink their transports and have ad-
vised neutral shipping to keep away
from the north and west coasts Of
France"
Petrograd reports: Russian mill
tary authorities believe Field Mar
| shall Won Hindenberg is planning an
other thrust at Warsaw and that, In
fact, he already is developing gen.
| eral attack along the Warsaw front.
Especial significance is attached to
| the violence with which the Germans
| are resuming their attacks in the
Wyszogrod district, at the junction Of
the Bzura and Vistula rivers, and
further south near Bolimow."
Nish reports via Paris: "Confr-
| nation has been received Of the re-
port that a great German
! army under Archduke Eugene, Of
Austria, intends to attempt third
invasion Of Seryia. The troops ac-
tually have been concentrated along
line from Tekia to Schifka on the
Danube. Schifka is the junction point
Of the Hung ngarian-Rounanian and
Seryian frontiers. The attack has
been delayed by the rising Of the
Danube and the Save.
The Servian general staff is fully
confident tie issue will be favorable
to SerYian arms, as the troops are
declared to be in excellent condition.
