Paris, Feb. ia daring flight MADE

enemy, which flashed their searchlights
on the departing aviator. Later two
more bombs were hurled on barracks
10 the west of Ostend.
Searchlights found the French air
man soon after this, and German ma

DEFINES NEUTRAL RIGHTS
World Peace Foundation Puts
Peace Interests First.

Boston, Feb. l9.-The World Peace
Foundation made public to-day its def
milton Of the rights OF neutrals, incor-
porated in q resolution sent to the gov

Union.
"Belligerents," the definition says. in

The normal and permanent relations OF

BRITAIN TO MAKE
FOOD CONTRABAND
Continued from page 1

German Federal Council on January rs,
under Article As of which all grain and
flour imported into Germany after jan
uary 81 was declared deliverable only
to certain organizations under direct
government control or to municipal
authorities. The vessel was bound for
Hamburg, one of the free cities of the
German Empire, the government OF
which is vested in the municipality
This was one of the reasons sctuating
his majesty's government in deciding
TO bring the cargo of the Wilhelmina
before a prize court.
Information has only now reached
them that by subsequent decree, dat
ed February 6, the above provision in
Article as of the previous decree was
repealed, il would appear for the ex-
press purpose of rendering difficult the
anticipated proceedings against the
Wilhelmina. The repeal was not known
to his majesty's government at the
time of the detention of the cargo, or
indeed until now How far the ostensi-
BILE exception of imported supplies from
the general government monopoly of
all grain and -four set up by the Ger
man government may affect the ques-
ton Of the contrabsnd nature of the
shipments seized is a matter which will
most suitably be investigated by the
prize court.
Bombardment OF East Coast Cited.
at is, however, necessary TO state
that the German decree is not the only
ground on which the submission of the
cargo of the Wilhelmina to the prize
court is justified The German gov
trnment has in public announcements
/ claimed to treat practically every town
or port on the English east coast as a
fortified place and base of operations.
On the strength of this contention they
have subjected to bombardment the
. open towns of Yarmouth, Scarborough
/ and WhItby among others. On the
same ground a number o. neutral yes
sells sailing for English ports on the
! east coast with cargoes of goods on
he German list of conditional contra
/ band, have been seized by German
cruisers and brought before q German
3 prize court.
! again. the Dutch vessel Maria, hav-
ing sailed from California with cargo
of grain consigned to Dublin and Bel
fast, was sunk in September last by
/ the German cruiser Karlsruhe. This
could only have been justified II. among
ether things, the cargo could have been
/ proved to be destined for the British
/ government or for armed forces, and il
a presumption to this effect had been
/ establshined owing &c Dublin or Bel
/ fast being considered fortified places
or bases fer armed forces.
Germany Can't Have 1t Both Ways.
1.-THE German government cannot
have il both ways. Ii they consider
themselves justified in destroying by
bombardment the lives and property
of the peaceful civil inhabitants OF
English open towns and watering places
and in Selling and sinking ships and
eargoes of conditional contraband on
their way thither. on the ground tina,

PALESTINE FOOD
CARGO DELAYED
Supplies Coming from All
Over Country-Chicago
Sending 200 Tons.

Prominent Jews n this country have
contributed total of $4,000 for the
purchase Of food TO be sent TO Pales-
tine on the U. s S. Vulcan. The vessel
will not sail until March 10, instead Of
March 4, as was announced. This &C
ton has been found necessary to give
the authorities time TO store on board
the parcels Of food being poured into
New York from Jews in every state Of
the Union.
Yesterday the American Jewish Re-
lief Committee announced the receipt
of s6,279 80, bringing its total up TO
s4se, POI 90. The committee said the
Jews Of Chicago were preparing to
send at least two hundred tons Of food
products, worth more than $4,000, to
Palestine. Mass meetings will be he
in different sections New York City
tonight for the purpose of raising
funds. Rabbi Wise collected S3,400 at
n meeting in Buffalo. and $500 more
in Far Rockaway, Long Island, and a
Jewish manufacturer Of bread in Gin
cinnati has contributed twenty thou
sand pounds of tzoths. The relief
committee has received information
that another baker would also contrib.
ute an equal quantity, and has dis
patches from Jewish organizations in
Cleveland. Boston. Philadelphia, Kansas
City, Los Angeles and other large cities
promising immediate aid with food and
money.
Louis Lipsky, chairman Of the Fed
GRAFTON of American Zionists, said yes
terday that DR.. Levin, of the inner &C
tions committee OF the international
Zionist organisation, has word from
trustworthy sources that the property
of Jews in Palestine has not been con-
fiscated, and that the loc-l popul; tion
has not beer indulL nc in hOstilities al
the expense Of the Jews.
"But great economic distress prevails
in Palestine" said Mr.. Lipsky. at ere
Is a scarcity Of food, which cen money
cannot purchase. Tea, coffee, rice, -four
and other staples are urgently re
ouired. The first supply OF food from
american Jews will sail on the Vul
cnn."

STEEL MAKERS HARD HIT
German Decree Stops Ship
ment of Manganese to U. S.


PITTSBURGH. Feb. 1q.-The Pittsburgh
steel companies are again suffering
from the effects Of the European war.
TIE German governments war zone
declaration caused cessation OF the
shipping OF manganese to this country
and the result was a sudden Jump in
the price Of manganese from SOS at
Baltimore TO 500 a ton in Pittsburgh.
At this price one lot of 200 tons. OF this
alloy for steelmskers was bought here.
Contracts held by steelmakers with
dealers for their supply this year are
likely to be cancelled because Of the
war. A scurrying of consumers for the
new stock has started, for the new de-
velopment has taken them by surprise.
The steel industry will be seriously
threatened unless some way OF getting
manganese TO this country can be
worked out. Several plants are now be-
ing erected TO manufacture the alloy,
but none has yet begun operations.

BRITAIN OBTAINS
STANDARD OIL BOAT
Would Keep Part of Cargo from
Turkey-Case Reported to
State Department.

Washington, Feb. 1.-the Standard
OIL Company to-day reported TO the
state Department the detention at NAL
"a nv British authorities Of the British
steamer Oneka, which sailed from New
York January 2, laden with her cargo
of American oil, part Of which was des-
tined for Dedeaghateh, Bulgaria. Inc
oil company contends that the oil billed
to Bulgaria was for the Bulgarian gov
eminent, but British suspicion was
aroused because Of the close proximity
Of Turkey.
Three-quarters Of the oil was des-
tined for Greek ports, and the British
authorities permitted the ship TO make
those deliveries upon promise TO return
20 Malta before proceeding to Bulgaria.
In the meantime, il was said, Great
Britain would determine whether the
Bulgarian cargo should be permitted TO
proceed or 20 TO prize court.
The owners of the cargo are seek
ing the delivery Of the OIL without prize
court proceedings.

WAR SPARES U. S. MAILS
Not a Bag Has Been Lost, Due
to Sea Fighting, in Century.

Washington, Feb. l9.-Not one lag Of
United States mail has been lost
through the activities of the war fleets
Of the European belligerents. In fact,
Postoffice Department officials said to-
day no American mail had gone down
with a merchantmen destroyed by a
warship within the last hundred years.
Postmaster General Burleson expects
no interference with the mail service to
result from Germany's sea war zone
proclamation. Ii was pointed out that
the mail steamers are fast vessels,
carrying passengers and but little cargo
of the kind belligerents would seek to
destroy.

Retreat from Augustowo.
fBy Cab. to Tn. Tribun.

Petrograd, Feb. 19.-The Russian
columns, which for several days held
their pursuers at bay in the region Of
Augustowo, ten miles across the border
in the Cars territory, after the re-
treat from East Prussia, have again
retired, and the fighting is now most
violent near Orowiec, twenty-five miles
10 the south.
Further north the Germans have
practically abandoned the movement
toward the Nemen.
Throughout the Eastern region Of
the war, the Germans are believed to
have only five or six corps, which are
operating separately in raids upon
points where they hope to harass their
adversaries.
This position is now much less seri-
Gus for the Russians than the new de-
velopments in Northern Poland. Here
the Germans have moved very great
forces from Sierpec southwark and
from Plock eastward along the road
toward Plonsk, where their head col
umn is in fighting contact with Rus
sian cavalry moving north of Novo
Georgievsk The Germans are grasping
stubbornly at this position, evidently
with the aim of seeking base for an
attack on Warsaw from the northwest
similar to their intrenchments around
the Bzura and Rawka rivers.
From Plonsk an effective advance on
Warsaw could not be made without the
CAPTURE of the Novo Georgievsk for
tress, situated at the junction of three
big rivers. The shortest route would
mean the crossing of the Vistula, while
a detour to the east would necessitate
a passage of the Wkra, the Bug and
the Vistula. as we'll as the negotiation
of the stronghold of Sierok, placed at
the confluence of the Bug and the
Narew
The Germans effort in the north is
impeded enormously by the Narew
River and the impossible swamps on
its right bank, but the fighting in the
bare country beyond threatens to de-
velop into great battles engaging some
hundreds Of thousands of men.
The energy of the new operations
from Sierpec is intensifying now that
the Germans have abandoned their at
tempt to threaten Warsaw from the
Niemen lines.
The Austro-German attacks on the
Eastern Carpathian passes are begin
ming to slacken through loss OF men
and the absence of reinforcements. The
Austrian forces at the extreme east
of the line are far more numerous
that the strategic situation demands
! Their demonstrations continue to DC

by the approach of the thaw, whicf

and one Austrian in Uszok Pass and an
other carrying three Austrians soutf
of Przemysl.
The Austrians have yielded ground II
the heavily contested region southeas

Rerne, Feb. l9.-Americsn bankers

The Austrian government has decided

Increased taxation is also to be intro
