their anita gonists both in number ana
their artillery, the witness declared,
they offered heroic resistance.
At the end of March 10. the bodies
Of 1000 German soldiers had been found

mid air and came down In cloud OF

Prisoners who have been all thru the
war declared that never had they ex-

The resentment Of prisoners against
the British artillery has been frequent
ly expressed.
The German prisoners were clean
and most Of them were freshly shaved.
Most of them were optimistic.

Treaty Violation.

Washington, March 1s.-The German
embassy today protested to the state
department against the warrants for
arrest served on the German consul,
William Mueller, and his assistant, b.
M. Schultz, at Seattle, Wash. The
embassy contends that the arrest is a
that of conspiracy in which he had been
The department was asked to investi-
gate the case and the embassy was
assured that that would be done i'm
mediately.
The charge was made in the embassy
note that the Seattle authorities had
exceeded their powers in entering the
embassy to make search and also in
service warrants on Mueller and his
assistant.
The consul in his report to the
embassy did not say that an actual
search of the consulate had been made.
but declared that Officers had entered
in order to make a search"
The charge against the consul was
that conspiracy in which he had been
unlawfully trying to gain secrets of the
Seattle Construction and Dry Dock
Company. 1t was said that the COM
pany had been building submarines for
Great Britain.
The section Of the consular treaty
which it is claimed has been violated
says that consuls shall enjoy personal
immunity from arrest except in case of
crime"
Question Of Crime.
Another section declares that "the
consular archives shall be at all times
inyiolable and under no pretense what
ever shall the local authorities be al-
lowed to examine or seize the papers
forming part Of Them" and the offices
and dwellings Of consuls who are not
citizens Of the country of their resi-
dence shall be at all times be inviolable.
"The local authorities" the treaty
continues, shall not except in case Of
pursuit of crime, under any pretext in
wade them"
Embassy officials expressed their be-
lief in Mueller's innocence. Recently
the German embassy charged that sub
marines were being built in the United
States in sections and shipped to
Canada, where they were completed.
Seattle was named as one of the places
where the submarines were being built.
The department Of justice will prob
ably make an investigation for the
state department.

actly as in the present law as between

London, March 1s.-The outer forts
Of Przemysl, toward which part or
the Austrian army has been struggling
in an effort to bring about the relief
of the besieged garrison. have at last
fallen, according to reports from Rus
sian sources.
AItho confirmation is lacking, Brit
ish newspapers regard the report as
not improbable. They refer to the fact
that news dispatches from Petrograd
yesterday that the surrender OF this
stronghold was q matter OF but few
days.
There has been much speculation
concerning the engagement reported on
the northern frontier Of East Prussia,
referred to In wireless dispatches from
Berlin as weak Russian attacks on
Tauroggen and I1angszargen. Lanss-
xarxen II ltust within the borders OF
East Prussia, not far from the import
aIiS german foftres0sof Tilsit and the
presence OF Russian troops ut this
point may mean q new invasion OF
German territory.
German Progress Slow.
Nowhere In the eastern arena OF
fighting do the Anstro-German forces
appear to be making progress except
between Stanislau and Kolomea, to the
north Of Bukowina, where they are
pushing forward in an attempt to turn
the Russian left flank.
Military experts think the position OF
the German army in the east precludes
the transfer at this time of any Ger
man troops to the west, and that the
German plan Of dealing Russia a
crushing blow before attempting the
much discussed spring advance in the
west has failed.
Germans Kept Busy.
Five out of six Of the new German
army corps are said to be engaged on
and beyond the frontier OF East Prus-
sia. a fact which British observers
think will make it difficult for Ger
many to meet the demands likely to be
imposed on her in the west.
Full reports of the victory Of Neuve
Chapelle Is only now beginning to be
grasped by the public. 1t leads to the
belief that the German line can be
broken II the allies care to pay the
price. Several thousand wounded men
from this field have arrived>in England.
The press today again cautions the
people that the taking of the Darda-.
nelles is likely to be a slow affair to ac-
complish which the allies must pay the
price Just as they have done at Neuve
Chapelle.

JURY FINDS FOR ROOSEVELT

ing returned a conditional verdict in
favor of the former president, which
Supreme Court Justice William S. An
drews refused to receive. The condi-
ton which made the verdict an i'm
proper one was the stipulation that
The court costs and disbursements
should be divided between the princi-
pals in the action.
Today's deadlock resulted from the
announcement of juror No. led
ward Burns, a Syracuse motorman and
4 Republican-that if the costs and
disbursements were not divided he
favored a verdict for the plaintiff
Attorneys connected with the case
tonight said they considered it i'm
probable that the jury would be held
over until Monday should it fail to
ind proper verdict by tomorrow. Up
10 late hour tonight, after the pro-
posal of putting the costs on one or
he other of the defendants had been
under consideration for more than ten
hours, no word had come from the
Jury room to indicate that the senti-
nents of the jurors had changed
from what it was when the court or
1ered a reconsideration.
