SUPPLEMENT- TO ST. CRCIx AVIS.

newspapers shows that Germany's threats
are not taken more seriously in Holland
than they are in England. Admiral Won
Pohls warning is only regarded as moro
evidence of the German navys policy of
bluff. The correspondent adds: 81 have
enquired in maritime and commercial cir
cles and received the same answer every
where, accompanied by q smile"
The "Daily News" correspondent at Co.
penhagen states that Denmark is elated
to find that it's outspoken protest against
the blockade declaration of the Germans
has received the unstinted support of pub
lie opinion in the United States. Perhaps
the most striking fact of all is the effect
on Sweden, the friendliness of that coun-
try, which Germany courted after the out
break of the war, being now entirely lost.
The Danish Stock Exchange remains alb
solutely u%ninfuenced by the scare, the
quotations of stocks being quite unchanged.
The "New York World" says: "There is
complete agreement among the neutral
nations regarding the meaning and menace
of the Berlin decree. It is a wanton de-
NAL of neutral rights and it exhibits deeper
and more imminent hostility to n~eutrals
than to any belligerent at whom it is aimed.
Neutrals are therefore urged by every con-
sideration of se~lf-respect and safety to
unite at once IN q remonstrance too impress
sive to be ignored"
London, Feb. 9th.-A French official
communique issued yesterday states: s'From
the sea to the Disc there was an artillery
duel on Sunday which was rather violent
in the region of Cuinchy and southwest of
La Bassee. Southwest of Carency we
succeeded in p surprise attack upon a Ger
man trench blown up by a mine. It's de
tenders were killed or taken prisoners.
On the Aisne front and in Champagne
there have been intermittent lombard
ments, the efficiency of our artillery fire
being demonstrated at several points.
West of Hill 191, north of Massiges,
our batteries checked an attempted
attack. In the Argonne an attack by the
enemy in the direction Of Fonteine Madame
was repulsed, and at Bagatelle the Germans
launched sd infantry action in the morning,
but at the last reports we were maintaining
our positions.
A Berlin official statement says: "In
the Western theatre of wal the battles for
our positions on the canal southwest of In
Bassee continue, and we recaptured part of
q short trench taken by the enemy. In the
Argonne we took part of our opponents for
tilted positions yesterday. Nothing else i'm
portant has occurred. On the east Prussian
frontier southeast of the plain Of the Lakes,
and III Poland on the right bauk of the WIS.,
tula, n few successful engagements of local
importance occurred".
A Vienna official statement says; ''The
battle for the Dukla Pass has ended favour
ably for Us. Owing to transport difficulties
only weak Russian artillery forces participant
Ell ,but they had concentrated near the Dukla
Puss strong infantry forces which advanced
against the heights, regardless of human
material. The Russians tried to enforce a
successful decision, but three of their attack
ius ines at one place were literally mown
down from our trenches, and finally, advanc-
ing over the ridge of the Pass, they began in
the evening to climb up the opposite hills
which we've in the possession of the Austro-
Hungarian troops, but were obliged to stop
