Frederick Palmer, tOho IS at the

Press, sends the following:
British Headquarters in France
March 4. For the first time accredit-
ed newspaper correspondents have
been allowed TO enter that zone where
men in khaki, speaking English, hold
a portion Of the allied line.
Where the trench crosses a road
the French and the British are elbow
to elbow, facing the Germans. French
peasants and villagers are living and
working under she'll fire, neighbors to
the British guns, concealed from Ger
man aeroplanes, which shake their
houses as they fire. Signs in English
at the French crossroads give direc-
lions to traffic and all French names
are pronounced according TO the Eng
lish spelling, so that the soldiers or
officers will not fail to understand
them.
One is impressed with the immen-
/ sity Of the British resources, the
number Of motor trucks and the COM
pleteness and thoroughness Of all the
/ equipment. All food and all supplies
are brought from England, while the
French shops are thriving on the Eng

The British artillery fire, which was

10 fix certain days on which cake may

if this be considered necessary.
Instructions to the millers have been
extraordinarily explicit. They insist
upon a saving of at least 10 per cent
more Of the grain content.
Further conservation OF the 1000 re.
sources for the benefit OF domestic ana
draft animals is indicated by Mr.. Drey-
fus, as follows:
"a new regulation in Berlin pro.

There is also a less me-acing though

In enforcing the appropriation ordi-
pances the imperial government fixed
prices for cereal supplies on nearly
reasonable basis, according TO Mr.
Drcyfuss, who says:

Germans Concentrate Troops
to Take Ossowetz Fort

Petrograd, March 4.-The German
forces in Northern Poland are concen-
trating their efforts in the endeavor to
break through the Russian fortified
lines near the Prussian frontier by
capturing the fortress Of Ossowetz
This battle, the outcome Of which Is
regarded as Of high importance, is pro-
ceeding with increased violence. The
Germans on this occasion have sue
ceeded in bringing up some Of their
heaviest and most effective guns, in
Guiding the great 16-inch field pieces.
The opinion of Russian military Of
ficers is that, the Germans having been
expelled from przasnysz, their only
hone Of f. successful execution Of their
plans. which include the securing OF
the position Of their left flank by
breaking through the Russian line Of
fortresses, lies in taking Ossowetz.
From the character of the fighting 1t
is evident that the Germans have de-
termined to exhaust every effort 10
win this point.
The Russian occupation Of Kerjen.
announced officially here. shows a
slight advance on the northern front.
Kerien lies on the left bank of the
Amoueff River, twenty miles north
east of Przasnysz.
German Plan Fails.
The capture of this town is Of more
than local Importance, since it signi-
fes failure of the German attempt to
cut off the communications of the Rus
sian forces operating in the Przasnysz
district from those proceeding from
Mvszvniec toward Kolno along a line
parallel with the Prussian border. This
the Germans stroTe 70 accomplish by
occupying positions along the Amouleh.
ALTHOUGH there is a close relation be-
tween the German advance from East
Prussia and -eir ODer tons IN con-
junction with the AustriaIS IN the
Stanislau- BE kid region Of Gallcla, at
the other end of the front, Russian
critics regard the activity of the Ger
mans in the north as relatively OF the
lesser importance. 1t is looked upon
more as a diversion for the purnose Of
engaging the attention Of the Russians
while the Austro-German arm" is pre-
marin for n importan. campaign in

Congressman James. r. Mann, re-
publican leader of the house of rep
resentatives, in an address in St.
Louis last evening made a strong ad-
dress for a proper and protective.
tariff. Such tariff in opinion is
necessary to permit prosperity at
home, to provide means of defense
against aggregation from abroad and
to secure the rights of American cit
liens and their property the world
over. -
Such a tariff should be the means
of raising large amount of revenue,
in the main paid by the foreign ex-
porter It should give reasonable
degree Of protection to the American
producer against the undue competi-
tion of cheap labor abroad We can
not maintain our high standard Of
living otherwise. Our producers,
who pay high wages for short hours
and, exclude child labor, who pay
high taxes for our costly governments
and our fine schools, must not have
their Industries destroyed by the
competition Of those who do not con
tribute any taxes for our use. #
