LONDON, Aug. 27.-The London press
gives prominence to American cable de-
spatches quoting Coun Won Bernstorn
rs having assured Secretary OF state
Lansing that orders have been given TO
German submarine commanders not to
make further attacks on merchantmen
without warning.
The Spectator prints this comment:
at is suggested that the American
Government will be satisfied n COM
manders OF German submarines always
warn passenger vessels and place their
passengers In boats before sinking the
vessel. We do not believe for IA moment
that America would consent TO this carl
cature of satisfying international Law
and humane customs. Imagine placing
women and children in small boats, sixty
miles from land, In "a high winter sea
and piercing cold. and saying that their
safety was provided for. Now W. are
sure that If Germany means to prevent
America from taking action Of some
kind she will have to change her policy
drastically.'

WITH the capture yesterday of the important town of oita, the
Russian tenure of the fortress of Grodno is hardly likely to
continue many days longer. The accompanying map shows the Bielo-
wieska forest, northeast of Brest-Litovsk, on the edge of which the
Germans ae already fighting. and the famous Prepet marshes south
and east of Brest-Litovsk. The new Russian defence line is believed
to extend from Riga, through Dwinsk to wilma, then south by way of
Lido and Baranowitschi to Pinsk and Sarny. The arrows show the
direction of the Austro- German offensive.
