The Austrian government an
nounced to-day that the attacks of
the Russians in the Carpathians had
broken down and that they had suf-
of the front the Austrians are on the
offensive, and the capture of 1000
more Russians is reported.
n statement from Petrograd yes
terday contained the admission that
the Russians had retreated in the
region of the mountain pass.
Particular significance is attached
by military strategists to the outcome
of the campaign in the Carpathians,
on the ground that it probably will
decide the mastery of this region for
the remainder of the war. Should
Austria gain a definite victory here
they would be freed from the menace
of invasion.
In Poland and West Galicia, the
Vienna statement says the situation is
unchanged. Petrograd dispatches
agree that a battle of almost unex-
ampled fury is in progress along the
Warsaw front with the issue yet to be
determined.
Desultory fighting is in progress in
the Argonne and Alsace but elsewhere
in the Western war zone activity is
diminishing. The German attack in
Flanders, although leading to several
veloped into an important engage
ment and apparently the onslaught
has been abandoned.
Germany declaration that the
waters around England. Scotland and
Ireland are to be included in the war
zone was interpreted in a statement
issued to-day by the German embassy
at Washington, contains no threat to
American shipping. The statement
says that no change in Germanys at
titude toward neutral shipping is in
volved and that American vessels car
rying food stuffs to the civilian popu-
lation of countries with which Ger
many is at war will not be seized. So
far as neutral shipping is concerned
the German declaration will serve
merely as a warning of the risks in
volved in navigation in those waters.

bitterly denounced the campaign and

AMERICAN FOOD SHIPS
WILL NOT BE SEIZED
At Least Not Those Carrying Sup
plies to Civilian Population
of Enemy's Countries
BY .Assoeiated Press

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 6. = The
German embassy declared in a state
ment issued to-day In regard to the
decree placing the waters around the
British Isles in the war zone, that
Germany docs not intend to modest
or seize American vessels laden with
foodstuffs for the civilian population
of enemy countries"
The statement expresses the hope
that England will not make neces-
sary reconsideration of this attitude
by seizing American ships like the
Wilhelmna." The statement follows:
The German ambassador has not
received instructions regarding the de-
cision of the German admiralty. but
according to the text OF the decision
the following seems clear:
Not a Paper Blockade
There is nothing new in the COM
munication made on February by
the German admiralty with respect to
the attitude of the German imperial
navy toward ships of the enemy or
toward neutral commerce. 1t is alb
surd to describe this as the procla-
nation of the paper blockade of the
British Isles. The communication is
simply statement of what has been
since the beginning of the war. the
attitude OF tlfe ndNleB Oh ali OF tne
belligerent powers toward ships of the
enemy.
"A few months ago the English ad-
miralty proclaimed the closing of the
North Sea. the waters of which are
essentially neutral. Germany does
not profess to close even the English
Channel to neutral commerce, and she
does not intend to molest or seize
American vessels laden with foodstuffs
for the civilian population of enemy
countries; it is to be hoped that Eng
land will not make necessary recon-
sideration of this attitude by seizing
American ships like the Wilhelmina.
Germany does. however. announce
to the world that it proposes to con-
tinue to destroy ships belonging to the
enemy"

afternoon on redirect examination,
Theodore Roosevelt told of his fight
with Tom Piatt, the EASY Boss, " just
prior to and during the first days of the
Republican national convention at Phi
ladelphia in 1900.
Roosevelt was then governor Of New
York. Platt's desire was to make him
Nice.President, an inconspicuous posi-
ton in which Platt hoped he might be
forgotten. Roosevelt wished to be re.
elected governor in order that he might
be in line for the presidential nomIna-
ton, after Mckinley had served his
second term.
prior to the convention, Roosevelt
ties titled, ~ threatened Senator Platt
that | would fight him on, the floor of

made good his threat to keep me out of

was unwilling to be nominated Vice.

1t is history that in the end, Roose,
welt yielded to pressure and became
Vice President. His Testimony was
given yesterday in the desire to show
that he had not been the subservant
tool of Platt. Earlier in the day,
he testified that, while governor, he
had discussed legislation with Senator
Plat because he realized that the legis-
lot ~ NnpL a.
did not wish to disrupt the party.
Even after their quarrel at Phila-
