SEE-SAW AFFAIR
 IN CARPATH|ANS
kustriaAS Claim They Arc ContIR-
 uing Advance Info bukoWIna.

London, Feb. IS, 12:47 m.-The retirement of the Russian forces in East Prussia and Great Britain's air raid on the coast of Belgium appear today as the biggest factors in the military situation. On the other hand the diplomatic field would seem to be dominated by the American notes to Great Britain and Germany, especially to Germany, where the newspapers and the public, accord ing to news despatches reaching here from Berlin, are insisting, in spite Of Washington's protest and fnspite or the consequences, that the German submarine policy must be pursued re- lentlessly.
 The gist of German opinion, as it has been thus far transmitted to London, would appear to be that neutral powers nave been sufficiently warned to keep out of the military area, and inasmuch Germany is facing starvation at the hands of Great Britain, there is no other course for her to pursue.
 Opponents Claims Disagree.
 Like all other important encounters in the eastern arena of the war, the claims of the opponents disagree as to the strategical importance of the German advance into East Prussia. The Germans are hailing it as a great victory and Berlin is decorated with flags in celebration of the occurrence, while Petrograd declares that the Russians are deliberately reangning their forces in their own territory sup ported by their own forts and that the decisive conflict is yet to come.
 The battling in the Carpathians is going on in the snow, but the in- formation from this field of activities is scant and the indications reaching London are that it is still a see-saw affair, with both sides sustaining enormous losses. Further to the south the Austrians contend that they are continuing their advance into Bukowina. Military experts in Lon- don are of the opinion that the Car pathian front still remains an area of prime importance in the east where a decisive victory by either side would force the abandonment by the other of territory in East Prussia or Po- land.
 FOrerunner of Raids.
 The fact that a British air raid in such force as was evidenced in the aerial expedition of yesterday has been carried out successfully over the German positions in Belgium is taken in London to indicate that such | aerial activity against the German submarine bases, promised at the ! time when the German policy Of | blockade was announced, is to be con- ] tinued. Great Britain has many new | aeroplanes under construction and ! many pilots in training, and it is now | predicted that yesterdays raid was only d forcrunner of more extensive | 
 Several British ship owners were | offering prizes of $5,000 to any mcr- chant ship which rams and sinks a German submarine.
 Emperor William is still on the Cast Prussian front, according to the atest advices reaching London, but Emperor Nicholas has just made d ,isit to SebastopoL where he inspected he Russian warships in port and made an address to the assem- Dled ailors.

 While Investigating the theft of a machine belt from the Stiles and Reynolds Brickyard yesterday after noon. the local authorities ran across a number of articles which were stolen from Berlin people during the summer and fall of last year.

 Uninjurcd in Bad Accident.
 While driving along the East Berlin road towards Berlin Center Thursday afternoon, Max Eger of West Crom- well figured in an accident which might have resulted disastrously. As it was he was uninjured.
 MT. Eger had just passed William Bulkeley's residence when his spirited horse became frightened at something and, becoming uncontr~ liable, dash ed against the guard rail on the small bridge near the Bailey Manufacturing company place with such force that the structure gave way. throwing the outfit into the gutter about five feet below. The sleigh was overturned and the driver thrown out. Fortunately the horse fell also and was unable to run away.
 Eye witnesses were surprised to see MT. Egcr get up unassisted and drive away with as little concern as if noth- ing out of the ordinary had occurred. MT. Eger is a well known horseman in Cromwell.
