war SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

That the Przemysl garrison was re-
duced to the last extremity before
s%urrendering is indicated in all ac-
counts of the Russian victory. Some
of the men of the garrison were so
weak from the lack of food they
could scarcely stand. and ate moss
and gnawed at the straps of their
equipment to keep themselves alive.
Forty thousand are reported to
have been killed since the investment
began, while disease accounted for
many more and had worked ravages
among those who remained. The
prisoners taken by the Russian army,
according TO the official statement
from Petrograd. number III 200
men, $500 officers and officials, nine
generals and SIS officers of the gen.
eral staff. The inner forts. contain
ing large quantities of war material,
are said to have been found intact.
The fall of the Galician stronghold
continues to overshadow all other
events in the war zone and interest
centers on the next move of the Rus
slams, whose objective doubtless will
be Cracow or southern Hungary.
German newspapers, however, de-
clare that military measures have al
ready been taken to prevent the Rus
slams from gaining strategical advan-
tage by the c%apitulation of Pre-
mysl.
The recapture of Memel, East
Prussia, by the Germans is admitted
by the Russian wal office. which
says: Our detachment which re-
connoitered Memel has retired to
Russian territory" Both Austrians
and Russians lay claim to the capture
of several thousand men in the Car
pathians, and thus matters there are
about evenly balanced. The battle in
Poland continues, with no apparent
progress on either side.
In the western war zone the opera
tons consist largely of trench fight
ing. Little or no change is noted in
the general situation in northern
France in a communication from
headquarters of Field Marshal Sir
John French regarding recent activ-
tiles.
The operations of the allied feet in
the Dardanelles have been delayed by
the bad weather, and the ships which
suffered damage in the last lombard
ment are being repaired. A Malta
dispatch says that the operations are
TO be resumed at an early date and
that every precaution is being taken
10 avoid surprises.
A force of 1000 Turks who at
,empted an attack On the Suez canal
near the town of Suez, have been
routed. The Turks were accompanied
by German officers.
The British colonial office reports
that normal conditions now prevail in
Singapore following the recent mu-
tiny.
Seventeen young Belgians are re-
ported to have been executed at
Client by the Germans after having
been found guilty of espionage.
A French commission has declared
valid the seizure of the former Ham

now flies the American flag, and the

Taxation and Finance and the Super

be elected, these oficials corresponding
TO the present Secretary OF State. State
