KAISER SEES NEW
OPERATIONS BEGUN

Berlin. Feb. l3.-With the kaiser
again on the eastern battlefront fight
ing of the most severe character is
proceeding along the East Prussian
frontier. ON the Vistula and i'm the
Carpathians. with results described
by the general stan as eminently sat
isfactory.
The fighting along the East Prus-
sian front has resulted in the Rus
slams being forced back TO their pre-
pared positions.
The Russians are receiving enor-
nous numbers of reinforeements and
quantities of supplies and it is thought
here that Grand Duke Nicholas is per
sonally in command Of operations at
this point
The German lines have been rein
forced from the reserve columns and
by fresh troops sent from the various
fortress base miles in the rear OF the
present fighting line
1t Is believed the presence of the
kaiser on the battlefront at this time
indicates the initiation of a new of
fensive against portion of the line
that previously has been free from
any fighting.

WANT PROTECTION OF FLAG
Americans Ask That Ships Fly Stars
and Stripes.

London, Feb. 13.-The texts of the
American notes TO Germany and Great
Britain, concerning the possible sink
ing of American ships and use of the
American flag, have not yet reached
the London papers, which, consequent
ly, are chary of editorial comment.
The Pail Mall Gazette, however,
says it will not be difficult to satisfy
the United States that in using the
American flag to defeat the intention
of German warships to torpedo mer-
chantmen without warning Great
Britain is acting not only in the ma
tional interest. but In the interest of
humanity and civilization. There
would be no danger OF American ships
being sunk If the German craft be-
have as every usage of war dictates
and board the ships they stop for an
examination of their papers"
The Pail Mall Gazette calls atten-
tion to the fact that while the Ameri-
can government is making representa-
tions concerning the use of the Stars
and Stripes American passengers are
petitioning the Cunard line to sail un-
der the American flag, so that they
may enjoy its protection.

DUE TO PUBLISHED STORIES
Jury in Bretung Case Dismissed by
Trial Judge.

New York, Feb. 13.-A jury trying
a suit for $250,000 damages brought
against Il. n. Breitung, millionaire
owner of the steamship Dacia, by
Max Kleist, who married Miss Juliet
Breitung, the defendants daughter,
was discharged in the federal court
because of the publication of stories
to the effect that Kleist had twice
been assaulted since his wife had
ceased to live with him.
The court held that publication of
these stories would doubtless tend
to influence the jury i'm Kleist's be-
half. Kleist based his action on al
legged alienation of his wifes affec-
tions from him by her parents.
In discharging the jury the court
directed that the expense of a new
trial, il ordered, be borne by Kleist,
who, the judge said, was responsible
for the stories.

GERMANY GOT WORST OF II
British View Of Notes by American
Government.


London, Feb. 13.-That the United
States fully intends to protect all
her interests and privileges is the
construction placed on the American
notes to Germany and Great Britain.
Although the complete text reached
here too late for extensive comment
by the morning papers, there Is no
question that the vigorous language
used in both communications came
as distinct surprise to the majority
of British diplomats.
There Is a general disposition to
resent the action of the American
state department in assuming with
out first asking for official investiga-
ton that the British foreign Office
had sanctioned the misuse of Ameri-
can flags.
AS a matter OF fact the majority of
Englishmen are arguing that mas
much as England has always allowed
the use of her flag by merchantmen
seeking to evade capture she should
have the same right.
Were the American note not ac-
companied by the present strong lam
guage used in the note to Germany
it is believed it would arouse severe
irritation.
But there is a general feeling here
that of the two the kaiser gets the
worst of IT, This brings satisfaction
to many Englishmen.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Feb. 13.-Fanny

Eight thousand hymns of Christian

throughout the world are the work
OF Fanny Crosby. No one since the
days OF Charles Wesley or Isaac
Watts has made anywhere near as
large a contribution to the gospel
song book as did the blind writer
whose death has just occurred.
Thousands-perhaps hundreds OF
thousands-who sang her songs
which were translated into very Ian
guage, did not know that it was a
blind woman's inspiration which they
employed to express their Christian
faith and hope in song.

In the present case the German sol

In the Carpathians the situation
looks favorable to the Russians, who
are pressing against the Austrian de-

the difficulties interposed by snow

Berlin admits that these positions
we're most dearly bought in view of
the terrible casualties inflicted by
Austrian artillery and machine guns
on the Russian massed formations.
In Russian Poland the Germans
hold the belief that Russia is prepar-
ing TO fall back on its second line and
the Russian trench defenses In that
region will be assisted by the flooding
of great sections OF the Intervening
country.
