REPORTS OF TWO
NATIONS, WIDELY
Alta VARIANCE
(By Associated Press.)

The German official report that q
British cruiser was sunk in the North
Sea fighting yesterday, is at direct
variance with the British report which
says that the actual damage to the
English fleet was slight. In other re
spects, the statement issued by the
Berlin bureau of information conforms
to that of the British except that ne
| mention is made of the damage to the
German vessels which have reached
port.
According to Vienna reports, the
Austrians have administered a defin
lite check to the Russians which have
invaded Bukowina. The Austrian Of
fetal statement, however, merely says
that quiet prevails since the latest sue
cessful battles in Bukowina, and
makes no mention of the hurried Rus.
sian retreat previously mentioned
The statement shows that the Rus
SLAMS again have succeeded in pene-
trating the passes of the Carpathians.
Dispatches from Petrograd say that
there is unusual activity among the
Austro-German forces along the entire
Austrian front of 300. miles. This is
regarded in Petrograd as marking the
initiation of a general offensive move
ment.
Reports from Vienna say that the
garrison of the besieged city of
Przemysl has made such vigorous at.
tacks against the Russians that as
saults on the city have practically
ceased ~:
Both the French and German Of.
fetal reports tell only of unimportant
engagements in the Western theatre.
The German government has accept.
ed the alternative of the United States
in the case of the prize collier which
formerly was the British steamer
Farm, and has consented to its intern
ment at San Juan, Porto Rico with its
crew.
The United States has forwarded to
England note expressing willingness
to make the necessary arrangements
with the German military government

ROAD MATERIAL NEEDED.
by Associated Press.)

London, Jan. 25.-England is having
difficulty in getting material for con.
struction and repair of it's roads. In
normal times, granite which forms
the basis of most of the heavy-traffic
highways, is obtained from Belgium
and Norway. The Belgian supply is
now entirely cut off, and Norwegian
imports are reduced owing to high
freight rates and closure of ports on
the East coast. The heavy use of
some of the important roads during
the past few months for military trans
port makes the need for reconstruc-
tion urgent

Owners Send Protest.

New York, Nov. "A protest against the seizure of the American steamer Hooking by British man of war which carried her, with prize crew aboard, into Halifax, was lodged yesterday with Secretary of State Lansing by Richard c. Wagner, pres- dent of the American Transatlantic Steamship company, the Hocking's owners.
 "Just advised inst our steamship Hooking. while en route in ballast to Norfolk, Va., to load coal for the Ar genuine, under charter to William R. Grace &, Co.,, was captured by Brit ish cruiser and is now in Halifax" reads MT. Wagner's telegram to Sec retary Lansing. We know of no cause for this seizure and ask that you file protest and request the alleged reason for the seizure.''
 Consulted American Consul.
 Earlier in the day Mr. Wagner re- ceived telegram from Captain Fabre of the Hooking, advising him of the seizure and stating that he had con- suited the American consul at Halifax To this, MT. Wagner sent reply, re- questing the captain to report by tele- graph the exact time and place of the seizure, and to ascertain and telegrap ph why the vessel was seized. Replies had not been received to etiehr of MT. Wagner's te1egrams last night.
 Tn an announcement made late last night, MT. Wagner asserted that the officers and shareholders of the Am erican Transatlantic. Steamship com- pany were all native Americans, and that he knew of no reason whatever for the vessels seizure.
 "The Hooking was bought last June by the company of which I am presi- dent," MT. Wagner said, from Albert Jensen, a coal merchant of Copen- hagen. MT. Jensen had bought the vessel in March, 1915, from w. Ryus & Son of Rotterdam, who, in turn, had bought the steamer from the British company by which she was built in England. When MT. Jensen bought the ship he named her the Cronland. What her name was be- fore that, I do not know. I do know, however, that she was never owned by German firm or German share holders"

 Later when the Gounaris cabinet sought the entente's guarantee of Greek independence in return for Greek cooperation but failed to ob- tain immediate results, M. Briand is said to have again intervened through Prince George of Greece.

PROTEST SEIZURE 0F l
 AMERICAN STEAMER
U. s. Officials Displeased at Ac-
 tiOn Of Great Britain

Washington, Nov. 2.-Oficials here informally indicated yesterday their displeasure at the action of. Great Britain in seizing the American ship Hooking because of the alleged inval- idity in it's transfer of registry. It is considered likely that a protest will be transmitted to the British foreign office within a few days.
 The state department will insist that the nationality of American ships is determined by the flag and not by ownership and will recall previous po- sitions taken by Great Britain which are said to conform to the American point of view.
 The fact that the capture was made while the vessel was bound from one port of the United States to another also caused much discussion among officials, who indicated that if the practice became general vigorous rep resentations on the subject would be forthcoming.

scarce and they tried making pack animals of cows, but with indifferent success.
 After great difficulty the journey was begun, but trouble developed on the road Many of the pack animals baked and kicked and spills were ire ouent. One dark night the animal Miss Rogers drove suddenly left the road and she discovered just in the nick of time that the outfit was on the edge of a steep precipice.
 While there were humorous incl dents aplenty during the flight, it was nevertheless a terrible experience. The Armenians were in constant danger Of attack from maurauding bands or Kurds and the wounded as well as the women and. children suffered from fear and privation.
 Miss Rogers, however, is full or optimism for the future and believes that when the war is over the infiu- ence of the Turk will be destroyed and a greater opportunity for missionary effort will be presented than ever be- fore existed.

FROM VAN
 VIVIDLY DESCRIBED
Miss Rogers Relates Humorous and Pathetic Incidents Of Journey

With. anecdotes of humOr and recently returned with the party of American missionaries from Armenia, gave vivid word picture of the ter rible flight from Van to Russia to crowded gathering at the Foreign Missionary society meeting at the South Congregational church yester- day afternoon. Miss Rogers told first of conditions in Van when the place was besieged by the Turks. The Ar menians bravely defended the place and though often short of ammunition and in deadly fear of massacre that would certainly have followed had the Turks been successful, held out until aid came from Russia.
 The Russians were unaware of the plight of the Armenians and came simply to occupy the place in the course of warfare. The Turks fled when the Russians approached. The latter held the city for several months, but finally announced that it would have to be abandoned for strategicaI reasons. The Armenians were ad- vised to flee to Russia and prepara- tions were at once begun.
 Miss Rogers told of her work in connection with the flight. She was detailed to catch some chickens which were to be used for food on the march. She had a difficult time catching the "biddies" as it was new work for her. Finally she caught some and they were loaded aboard a wagon, but most of them were half smothered with other goods and were unfit for use when wanted. Beasts of burden were

Silence at Halifax.

Halifax, N. S., Nov. 2-Proceedings were begun in the admiralty court yesterday for the issuance of warrants for the arrest of the American steamer Hooking and the Dutch steamer Ham born, which were brought in here Sun day by prize crews from a British warship
 Admiralty officials would give out no information regarding the seizure of the steamers and the same silence was maintained by the American con- sul here and the captain of the Hook ing. The Hooking, which was for merly the Danish steamer Cronland, was bound from New York for Nor folk, Va., for coal when she was halted by a British cruiser. The Hamborn cleared from New York for Caibarien, Cuba, with general cargo and was eSghty-five miles from New York when she was held up.
 Captain Van Eyde of the EIamborn said he had no idea why ne was brought here, or how long he would have to stay.
