Monday.
Great Briiain's refusal TO accept the
American proposals TO this country

The text OF the British order In

Officials were particularly keen TO
learn whether formal blockade OF
German ports Was contemplated.
Since the order does not contain the
word blockade" officials are In doubt
as TO the legal status of the British
plan.
The order apparently causes the
complete exclusion from American

Of the recapture Of the ground lost in
these fighting zones by the Germans
in October, according to prisoners cap
tured by the French at Tahure
The meager results obtained in the
German counter offensive have raised
the question among military experts
in France to why and how the action
was fought From the most reliable
sources available, such as the state
ments Of witnesses and Of soldiers
made prisoners during the fghtiQg, it
appears that the Germans had three
objects in view TO repair the blow
to the prestige Of the staff resulting
from the lack of success of the couu-
Ter attacks in October; to raise the
spirits of the troops. discouraged by
defeat, and TO retain on the western
front the greatest possible number Of
French troops during the Teutonic
advance into Serbia
The staff, according TO information
from the sources alluded to, decided
on an offensive over q notably vide
front directly after the affair of the
Cour4ine works on Oct %, in which
the French advanced $50 Yards, took
267 prisoners and put 400 men, killed
and wounded, out of action. while the
French losses totaled three killed and
80 wounded. Passive resistance in
the face Of such successes. it is de-
