report was brought here from Paris
that Austria has followed Germany's
course and has launched an: attack
upon merchantmen traversing the
Adriatic. Replying to a question from
Lord Beresford, the premier declared:
THE government is not yet prepared
to make statement of what meas
ures will be taken as reprisals against
the German policy of destroying Brit
ish and neutral merchantmen without
warning, or without attempting to
save civilian members of their crews"
Reiteration by the premier Of the
statement that the government is

England Is to pursue. It was intimat-
ed that not only will an embargo be
laid against food stuffs consigned to
Germany, but that an aggressive nav
|al policy designed to wipe the Ger
man feet from the sea is about to be
launched.

by the Information Agency that Aus

Austria will have the greatest diff
fculty avoiding serious complications
with Italy whose merchantmen may
be put in danger. A dispatch from
Geneva yesterday contained the report
that Austria was contemplating such
action.
Today the Geneva correspondent OF
the Paris News Agency wired that the
Austrian war zone" actually has been
established.
Up to a late hour this afternoon, no
new attacks by German submarines
on merchant vessels has been report
ed to the admiralty. Members OF crews
of two incoming steamers reported
they had sighted what appeared to be
submarines, but the admiralty forbade
publication Of the locations, assigned
by their stories.
Following instructions from Wash

Berlin dispatches today contained no

Though they were, instead Of resting

II was now decided to flood the
country. The User is a small Missis-
sippi in that it's bed is higher than the
surrounding country. The sea, too, Is
higher. SO the gates in the dykes
were raised and the water was let in,
flooding and running thousands OF fer
tile farms for years to come. Slowly
but surely the waters rose, trapping
1.-THE Germans who bravely fought for
ward instead Ct saving themselves as
lthey so easily could have done by re-
treating. Belgian officers make no
pretense Of hiding their praise and
admiration of the Germans for this
feat.
For two weeks in the rising flood,
! the Germans tried to advance to hlgl
ground on the allies side of the r1V'
/ err, leaving thousands OF dead, mucn
ammunition, and stores OF all sorts,
cannon and transports, to be covered
| by the encroaching river and sea. A
letter found OF the body of dead
German officer described the fighting
as far worse than anything he had
seen during the battle of the Marine
"'It was simply HE'LL he said. THE
flood was all about us. getting deec-
er all the time; the enemy in front
shooting; we dying in punches, and
no help for it at all"
This was how the Germans were
checked. Reinforcements brought up
on both sides have not materially
changed the situation beyond the
steady. but necessarily slow, driving
back of the Teutons.
Today the floods have reached their
highest. They extend thousands of
miles in every direction from the
User Roads are built higher than
the countryside, criss-cross the mum
dations like strips of crust across a
pie Here and there are farm houses
in ruins, occupying islands scarcely
above the water Most of the trees
are now prone in the mud and ooze,
the ground having become too soft TO
hold the roots firmly. An occasional
windmill, like dead thing, is seen
lying on it's side in the water.
Wagons, carts, caissons of cannon,
haymows and what not dot the wa.
terg, but as one looks about over the
expanse, he does not see a single liv.
ing thing save a few water fowl.
This is the scene of the fighting In
Flanders. Both the Germans and the
Belgians have built up, rather than
dug, trenches along the roads and ev-
cry intersection is a small fort
Throughout the day the artillery is
pounding away, but very seldom does
the infantry come into action so long
as the daylight lasts. When they do,
1t is to fight in water waist deep with
occasional tumbles into the drainage
bitches with which the farms always
were literally cut before the war.
The slightly wounded falls strang-
ling to death in the water Infantry
engagements, because of the floods,
must necessarily be along the roads
where machine guns play havoc. Sur
prise attacks are practically impos-
sible unless a commander wishes to
see his men annihilateu. Dark, even
stormy nights, are best for this kind
of fighting and a bright moon puts a
stop to storming expeditions.
But rain or moon, the night is kept
