SUMMARY OF THE WAR NEWS.

~ W VI " " ~" -
Dispatches from Washington indi-
cate that the United States will protest
against the German decree notifying
the world that the British Isles are to
be blockaded by submarines and that
neutral ships may be torpedoed. The
Dutch Ministry has asked that Hol-
land be informed as early as possible
as to the attitude of the United States.
This Is taken to mean that Holland
tho United States will champion all
neutrals in protesting against the Ger
man decree.
The Russian Government announced
last night that its troops had taken
the offensive west of Warsaw and had
crossed the Bzura at its junction with
a severe reverse suffered by seven di-
visions of German infantry on Feb

positions west OF Bolimow on the
Warsaw front, were unsuccessful, and
that twenty-six officers and 5000 men
have been captured by the Germans
since February /. 4 repu.se of the
Russians in East Prussia is an

Mr.. Carnegie proceeded first to tell
how well he got along with his workmen
when he was in active business. Then
he told OF his idea to establish founda-

Congratulated by whitman.

Commissioner Robert c. Wood will
take the stand at 10 O'Clock this morn
ing. Mr.. Hayward and two or three
investigators will go to Albany to-day to
prepare for their attack on the upstate
commission. hut the lawyer will return
Monday morning to continue hearings
in this city. He had a telephone talk
with Gov Whitman yesterday and was
congratulated on the progress of the
investigation here.
Mr.. Hayward introduced records OF
another Mccall law Gaze yesterday. Mr.
Mccall was counsel for the so-called
poultry trust" early in 1914 In its APP
peal against conviction for conspiracy
20 keep up the price OF poultry. He
told Mr. Hayward he took the case
because he believed the verdict was un-
just,
Senator James A. Foley of the COM
mittee protested that Mr. Hayward's In
situations that MIR. Mccall had acted
improperly were unfair-that a lawyer
is not to bo criticised for taking either
side of case Chairman Thompson
agreed with him and said the only ques-
tion was whether public duties had been
neglected.
Mr.. Hayward kept asking the witness
how he found time for law practice.
Finally the reply was:
Il didn't want 10 say this because II
might look tawdry. but ! was prepar-
ing those cases at night when you were
asleep and continued until daylight"
He also said he had argued the Park
Row realty case in an Interval Of a
visit to Albany on official business
Tells of Poultry Case.
He proved also that on two days In
February. 1919, when ne was accused
OF attending TO personal affairs, he was
holding hearings at City Hall on the
forms Of subway contracts.
In answer to questions Mr.. Mccall
said il might be well to pass law
forbiddlng a commissioner to practise
law on the side. but he added that 1t
was unnecessary because his own eN-
perIence had taught him that no suoh
avocatiOn could be followed without a
physical breakdown.
The poultry trust case was sprung
in the morning. you thought II en-
tlrely consistent to serve the people In
the morning and oppose the people in
the afternoon
Mr.. Mccall objected to the form OF
the question and said
