p. m.-The military critic of the No
voc Vremya, commenting on the ac-
tivity of the German forces along the
lower Vistula, says that the Germans
are now able to maintain their posi-
tions with about half the number OF
troops required at the time they were
undertaking an active advance to-
ward Warsaw The reason for this,
he says is that the Germans now oc-
cupy deep trenches with warm under
ground rooms, and have behind them
several lines of well equipped artil-
lery
During the advance the Germans
clung closely to the peculiar tactics
developed by them earlier in the war,
particularly in the Ilow-Lowicz cam
paign in whidh they concentrated
twelve army corps on a twenty-mie
front
When this front was recently
heightened the same number of troops
were spread over 20 miles. This is
regarded as proof that the Germans
have abandoned the offensive BY re
naming on the defensive. it is esti-
mated that at least an army corps
has been released
1t is extremely likely that part OF
the troops thus released are being
used for the renewed attempt to re.

WAR SUMMARY

Turkey apparently has suffered
one of the worst defeats of the
war. Petrograd reports that two
of the Ottoman army corps in the
caucasus have been utterly de-
feated in the district of Sarika-
mysh, Trans-Caucasia, one of
them surrendering while the rem
nants of the other are being pur-
sued. In addition still another
corps in the vicinity of Ardahan
is reported to be striving desper%
ately to find an outlet through
the snow filled passes of the Ar
menian mountains to escape from
the oncoming Muscovites These
Turkish forces evidently had
Tiflis, capital of Trans Caucasia,
as their objective.
That the Russians worked
havoc among the Turks at Sari-
kamysh is indicated by the state
ment in the official report that
the small bodies of troops which
succeeded in escaping were Wig
orously pursued and destroyed"
Grand Duke Nicholas and Gen
eral Joffre, tie French com
malder-in-chief have exchanged
telicitations over the Russian
victory.
In the eastern theater of war
both Petrograd and Berlin assert
that conditions remain virtually
unchanged. although the opera
tions are proceeding without ces-
satiOn.
In the west the most severe
fighting is taking place on the
eastern end of the line, where the
French declare they have made
gains in the occupataiol of STRAIT
eeic positions in the vicinity of
Rouvrois and st. Mihiel
1t is estimatedthat no less
than 10000 prisoners, unfit for
further war service, will be lib

States to certify cargoes destined

she cannot consider such certifi-

that the right Of search cannot

Germany does not consider that
the United States is acting out
side her rights under interna-
tional law in supplying belliger-
ents with munitions of war.
Chairman Flood of the foreign
relations committee of the house
of representatives, made this
statement before the committee
while Representative Bartholdt
was advocating his resolution to
empower the president to prohibit
such expectation.
Germany, through Ambassador
Gerard, has informed the United
