NO DANGER OF WHEAT
 FAMINE IN ITALY,
Ample to Last Until After the Next
 Harvest.

Rome, Feb. 2S.-Provisions made by the government to supply Italy with wheat pending the next harvest were defended by the minister of agricuI- ture, Signor Vavasola, in a speech yes terday before the cham Der of deputies. He declaT Nd that special missions rep resenting ,ue military com1nissarat had made enormous purchases in the United States and Argentine, al- though the largest quantities had been bought in New York and Chicago. The total amount contracted for abroad, Signor Cavasola. said, was 13,500, 900 quintais (450,000 bushels) which will be divided between several of the larg- est cities as distributing stations. About one third of the amount con tracted for already has arrived in Italy. The minister of agriculture de- clared that in view of the precautions taken by the government a wheat famine would be impossible because the supply provided for would be am pie to last until after the Italian har- vest.

GERMAN AMBASSADOR
 ON STEGLER CASE.
Says Whole Affair Looks Like Attempt
 to BIaeknai Eoy-Ed.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-A statement issued today by the German embassy. in the name of Count Won Bernstorff, the ambassador, announced that the main facts in the Stegler passport case. with which. the name of Captain Boy-Ed, naval attache of the embassy, has been connected, had been com nunicated by the state department. It added the whole matter looks very much like an attempt of blackmail which failed.
 The ambassador, who is In New York, telegrapned instructions for the issuance of the statement. The com nlunication to the state department was mailed and officials of the depart ment had not seen it tonight. So far the passport investigation has been before the state department only in an informal way, through unofficial con ferences between representatives of that department and of the department of justice, and according to high off, cial of the government nothing has developed requiring action.
 The embassy statement follows: ''The main facts of the Stegler af- concerned, have been communicated to me by the state department

 question but in any case the whole matter looks very much like an at tempt of blackmail which failed.
 'It is up to the judges and the pub lie opinion to form their own judgment of the reliability of Stegler."

Reeapture Przasnysz After Severe Fisfting-Germans Are in Retreat.

London, Feb. 2s. 1ox55 p. m-The Russian offensive operations appear at the present time to extend along their whole front-an indication that they have been able to bring very strong endorsements into the field. They have successfully checked the German advance in north Poland, where the Germans are reported to be in retreat and the recapture of Przasnysz. after severe fighting, has given them an ex- cellent pivotal point from which to carry on their further operations
 All the Petrograd correspondents re- fer to the capture of large number Of Germans as a new phase of the war and credit it to a lack of officers among the German armies and the large number of young, untrained men who have been drafted into them.
 The Russian offensive extends to what is known as the BZura-Rawka front, where they successfully opposed Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's at tempt to advance on Warsaw in De- cember and January.

 AMERICAN STEAMER pAcIA
Captured Her in the English Channel
 -Has Taken Her to Brest.

Paris, via London, Feb 2s.-A French cruiser has arrested the Amer icon steamer Dacia in the Channel and taken her to Brest. This an- is officially made.
 The steamship 'Dacia left Galveston for Rotterdam January 31 with Il ,O00 bales of cotton to be transshipped to Bremen It was fully expected at that time that the ship would be seized on her way to Rotterdam as Great Britain questioned the validity of the recent transfer of the Dacia from German to American registry. The Dacia touched at Norfolk on February II and then proceeded on her way.
 The Dacia9was formerly a Hamburg American freight steamship, which had been used before the war in trade be- tween Bremen and New Orleans and other Gulf ports. At the outbreak of hostilfttes she was fnterned at Port Arthur, Tex. On December 26 the Dacia was purchased by an American, and on January American registry was obtained. It was then announced that she was to be used to relieve the cotton congestion. and loading was be- gun with a cargo of cotton to be taken to Rotterdam and thence shipped to Bremen. where it was already sold.

While news is being awaited of the operations of the allied Anglo-French fleet in the Dardanelles-the matter for the moment of the most intense interest in the European war-a fur ther statement has been made public by the Russian war office indicating a great battle on the left bank of the Niemen, a determined check to the German advance in Poland and suc- cesses over the Austrians in Galicia-
 There are evidences also of heavy fighting in the western war zone, but the respective statements of the French and Germans are dtametr1cally opposed. The Germans claim to have pushed the allies back to the west of the Vosges for a distance of nearly four miles. The French declare that in the Vosges region they have re- pulsed an attack by the Germans. They claim marked progress on the whole front in the Champagne district, while the Germans assert that they have completely repelled the French attack

PRESIDENT WILSON
 EXPECTS BUSY WEEK.
Will Sign Bills APpropriatins Many
 Millions of Dollars,

Washington, Feb. 2S. President Wilson has made few engagements for the present week, in expectation that he will be kept busy by work incident to the closing of the present congress Thursday. He will be in almost con- stant communication with the senate and house leaders over pending legiS- laIion.
 The most pressing legislative ques- tlCn before the president today was whether to sign or veto the seamen' s bill passed yesterday by the senate. A public hearing on the measure may be held within the next day or two, but officials generally look for a veto on account of the effect the bill would have on several treaties between the United States and foreign countries.
 During the week the president will have to sign bills appropriatinS many millions of dollars. A few minor sup ply bills already have been signed and Most of the large bills will not be signed until Thursday when MT. Will sor will go to the presidents room in the capitol for that purpose.
 The president has not entirely given up hope of securing the passage of the skipping Philippine and conservation
 bills and the ratification of the Colou- bian and Nicaraguan treaties. His ad- visors have told him, however, not to be too otimistic regarding them.
 It was believed today lndL only tne failure of important appropriation bills would cause the president to call an extra session of congress after Thurs day. Some of his advisors, including Senator Lewis of Illinois, have sug gested the calling of an extra session Of congress in November in order that the way may be cleared for the na- tional conventions of 1916 by the early adjournment of the next regular ses- sion of congress. It was said today however, that as yet serious considera- tion had not been given this proposal The proposition of whether the pres ident would carry out his plans for arriving at the San Francisco exposi- ton March 21 was undecided tonight There were strong intimations that he
 might postpone the entire trip until later because of the foreign situation
