Impending operations In the North

by the incursion of British subma-
rines in Helgoland bay and the en-
barge on all shipping between En-
gland and Holland.
During the past week the activity of
the German submarines has decreased
to marked degree and coincidental-
ly British submarines, Of which moth
ing has been heard for months, have
put in an appearance, and are appar-
emily operating along the German
coast and around Helgoland. The
German admiralty's report announc-
ing these operations says that one of
the British underwater craft was sunk
on April II.
The fact that Great Britain has al.
ready sent more than 100000 men
across the channel to France, as an.
nounced by the chancellor Of the ex-
chequer in the Douse Of commons, may
indicate temporary cessation of the
transport Of troops to the continent,
with a consequent release of some of
the warships that have been guarding
the lane.
In the eastern zone the two armies
in the Carpathiahs are engaged at va
rious points along the front in deter

Austrian attacks, the Austrian war Of
flee reports successful counter-attacks

An intermittent bombardment of
the Dardanelles is being carried on by
the allied warships. while at the same
time transports loaded with troops
are on the seas or have already reach
ed their destination, preparatory to
the Inauguration Of operations by land
against Turkey.
The airmen are still dropping
bombs. The Germans have thrown
more than hundred explosive mis-
siles upon Bialystok, Russian Poland.
The Russians, in retaliation, have
bombarded the railroad station at
Soldau, East Prussia.
The British have attacked the Ger
man airship hangers at Ghent, Bel
gium, while French airmen have
thrown bombs on the headquarters of
the German General Won Strantz, in
the Woevre, and attacked German con-
voys in Baden and an electric power
plant at Lorrach, Baden, short dis
t~nce northeast of Basle, Switzerland.
Great Britain now has on the bat

prettily. The hostess also
played several harp selections
