WASHINGTON, May 25.-1n the
face of an impending protest against
its interference with American COM
merce. the British foreign Office Is re-
ported today to be contemplating
more drastic action. 1t is reported
that following 1taly's entrance into
the war, which will release number
OF British war ships, more careful
watch is to be kept on merchant ves-
sells. Because the reports Of the de-
nartment of commerce show a very
large increase Of American trade with
Norway. Sweden, Danmark and Hol-
land it Is assumed all vessels bound
to and from these countries will in
the. future be diverted in British ports
and compelled to prove that their car
goes are not, in reality, consigned to
Germans or by Germans to the Unit
ed States. If this is persisted in, It
is certain to cause trouble. Ameri-
can beef packers are here In Wash
1ngton demanding relief and charging
the British government with unfair
and improper tactics. On file with
the state department are claims OF
great cotton shippers Of the south
who take the same position. 1t IS
certain that President Wilson plans
action as soon as Germany replies to
his protest against submarine war
fare. 1t is even within bounds Of pos
sibility the British methods may force
his hand and compel him to act pre-
maturely.
The administration already has
compelled the British government to
withdraw its assertion that the Unit
ed States was satisfied with proce-
dure under the admiralty detention
orders. The state departments prompt
reputation of this claim drove the
British embassy here to issue for
NAL statement saying its home gov
ernment was mistaken; that all nego-
tiations designed to secure the release
of American cargoes were unofficial
and in no way bound the United
States.
Today the embassy was endeavor-
ing to find a way to reopen negot1a-
tions between its own commercial ad-
visor and the American trade repre-
sentatives. 1t was said this probably
would be accomplished soon.

PARIS, May 25.-The Germans are
attacking fiercely along the road east
Of Ypres. They have concentrated a
large body Of troops near Lansemarck
and have launched several violent
drives against the British positions
The battle has continued for more
than twenty-four hours with the re-
suit still In doubt.
An official statement from the war
office this afternoon said that the Eng.
Iish, thus far, have repulsed all the
German attacks In the last twelve
hours. In addition, they have regain
ed part Of the trenches they lost when
the enemy hurled strong forces against

What the War Moves Mean
By J. w. T. Mason, Former European Man
ager of the United Press.

The situation therefore in which
Mackensen found himself at the San
was due to causes not understood on
the Russian side.
Now the days Immediately following
the arrival Of the Austro-Gernans at
the San were the same days that
marked the suddenly critical situation
in the negotiations between Rome and
Vienna. Austria and Germany must
have become convinced at that time
that war with Italy was inevitable ano
would come quickly. So the San oper-
ations had to be curtailed In order to
rengthen the Austrian defenses
along the Italian border.
It is not probable this was done by
Withdrawing men from Mackensens 8
armies. The Russians would certainly
have detected large transfer OF
troops, and would have been encouras-
ed to attempt an offensive Of Their
own against the weakened enemy. The
fact that no Russian counter.offensive
was made indicated Mackensen's sud
den halt was not due to a dearth OF
men. ,.-'.
Throughout the present war, when
ever armies have had sufficient men,
vance, the reason has been q defic-
iency OF ammunition. 1t is probable.
therefore that General Mackensen has
been halted at the San because all
his ammunition has not been replen-
ished. The Italian situation has ne
cessitated great quantities OF am
munition being concentrated near the
frontier by Austria and Germany, and
Mackensen apparently has had to get
along with a depleted supply. Petro-
grad dispatches are now beginning to
comment on the silence OF German
p,,ns at the San. This is further evil
dence that the ammunition question is
Mackensen's most serious problem.
II future facts sustain the probabil-
ity that Germany and Austria are fee'-
ing the ammunition pinch. the war
win be materially shortened.
