man named Fortunate near the sta
tion, addressed him warmly and even
gave him a handshaking that would haN.
aroused the envy OF an Office seeker. On

WILL PoUNcE ON EITEL.
Two British and Two French Ships are
Waiting for German.

Newport News, Va, March l5. French
as wen as British warships are cruising
outside the Virginia capes waiting to
pounce upon the German commerce de-
stroyer, Prinz Eitel Friedrich, il she
should attempt to make for the high
seas again. There are said to be four
of them, two British and two French,
and they have come to stay until the
Eitel Friedrich reappears or interns for
the war at this port.
An officer of the English freighter
Anglo Patsgonian, which arrived here
Saturday from Swansea to load horses
for the allies, told last night of the
watching cruisers, and from him it be-
came known for the first time that the
movements of the Eitel Friedrich were
known to the allies warcraft for several
days before she sought haven in Hamp-
ton Roads.
According 10 the officers story, the
Anglo Patagpnian was warned last Sun
day, March, 7, by wireless from Brit
ish cruiser, that the German ship was
about and told 10 slow up. During the
next three days he said his ship made
less than 300 knots. Then on Wednes-
day came this relieving message through
the air from the British wsrship:
"rhe Eitel Friedrich has passed into
the Virginia oapes and win never come
out alive"
IL is understood that the allied squad
ron made every effort 10 head of the
German, but was unable to come up with
him or 10 reach the capes first.
Apparently the one hope the officers
and crew Of the cruisers cherish is that
some night, when the fog is heavy and
the watch OF the British warships off the
apes lags, the Eitel Friedrich may push
her prov out into the Atlantic and take
inother chance.

WAR SITUATION
AT A GLANCE

A new phase of the campaign in
the east has developed in an at
tempt OF the Austro- German forces
in Galicia to relieve Przemysl. For
this purpose, the center was shift
ed westward following the recent
ineffective movement in eastern
Galicia and the troops have been
concentrated to lift the siege of
the Galician fortress, whose re-
sistance month after month to the
investing army has been one OF the
striking episodes of the campaign.
Paris newspapers publish the re.
port that before the resignation Of
Premier Venizelos of Greece he Of
fered 5000 men TO the entente
powers for the Dardanelles eXpedi
tion. The former premier is now
quoted as urging the abandonment
of neutrality by Greece on the
ground that by striking now she
will be able to expand her terri
tory largely. Bulgaria is repre-
sented as considering the expedien-

decided whether in such an event
she would assist Turkey or her
opponents.
The young Turks, under whose
leadership Turkey went into the
war, are said to find their pres
ent position in Constantinople a
difficult one and report from Greek
sources is that they may flee from
the capital.
In France and Belgium the Of
fensive operations rest chiefly with
the allies, whose activities are in
terpreted in London as the pre-
liminary to a general attack in the
spring. In Belgium, Champagne
and Argonne, separate movements
are under way, although apparent
ly little ground has been gained
except that won by the British
near Neuve Chappelle.

GERMAN LOSS HEAVY.
Probably Casualties at Neuve Chapelle
Were 10000.

London, March l5.-The war office last
night made the following announcement;
"a heavy counter attack delivered by
the enemy Saturday afternoon and sew
eral minor counter attacks earlier in the
day all were repulsed.
Judging by observation on various
positions of the field of battle and by
statements of prisoners, of whom there
are now l,720, the enemy's losses must
have been very heavy and cannot have
fallen far short of ten thousand men
within three days.
"a train at the Don station was blown
up by our aircraft Sunday morning"
Paris, via London. March l5.--The fol-
lowing official statement was issued by
the war Office last night:
"The British air squadron has effec
lively bombarded Westende.
''The success gained by the British
armies at Neuye Chapelle proves to have
been absolutely complete. They adj
vanced on a front of about three kilo-
meters (about two milesl with depth
of from 200 to 500 metres, capturing
successfully three lines of trenches and
a fortified work to the south of Neuve
Chapelle Counter attacks delivered by
the Germans with great violence were re-
pulsed.
"The enemy suffered great losses and
left in the hands of the allies prisoners
TO a number considerably greater than
at first reported
"The British heavy and field artillery |
very effectively prepared the way for |
and supported vigorous action of the
infantry.
"ln Champagne we have consolidated |
our new front by advances at different
points and have firmly established our
selves on the lines of Crests captured
from the enemy.
"In the Agonne, between Four De
Paris and Bolante, we have made our
selves masters of more than 300 yards
of trenches and taken prisoners who in
cluded several officers. The enemy made
two counter attacks during the day but
were completely repulsed.
