TO SEIZE FOODSTUFFS
WiIheImina's Cargo Found For Ger.
many VIII Be Taken by ENGLAND.

many Will Be Taken by England.
Washington, Feb. 5.--The state de-
partment has been officially in
formed by Ambassador Page that
Great Britain will seize the cargo of
the steamship Wilhelmina, destined
&or Bremen, and all other American
shipments TO Germany as a result of
the German governments assumption
of control over food distribution.
Ambassador Page has been in
formed, however, that since the Will
helmina sailed from New York with
her cargo without knowledge of this
German decree there will be no pro-
ceedings against the ship and that the
owner of the vessels cargo will be
preserved from any loss. 1t is under
stood that the intention of the British
government is to pay for the cargo
what the consignerS would have re-
ceived if they had sold it in Hamburg
as intended.
The state department has received
from the German ambassador official
assurance that under the terms of
the decree regarding foodstuffs, i'm
portations of food from the United
States will be exempted from its
provisions and that the government
will guarantee that cargoes of this
character consigned to and intended
for the civilian population of Germany
will not be taken over by the govern
ment. The British communication
however, shows that his majesty
government does not accept this as
@urance as satisfactory.

The Submarine

Hid in deep sea cave lie
Mid the drift Of the silent years,
And laugh at the pride Of human power
And the sorrow Of human tears
For know hold in my heart Of fire
A strength SO cruel and vast
can blight the earth and air and sky
Like fame from the furnace blast.
When I slip along through peaceful seas
And peer with my Cyclops eye,
No stately ship that ever was built,
Though never so fast she fly
Can race with me: 1 strike IN the dark
Below her water line;
am ruthless cold as the sword fin shark
Like my brother, the floating mine.
Drenched with the salt sea brine bid@
The menace Of the sea:
A grim, gray wolf, my fangs / hide,
And man is afraid Of me!

Stage-Business Interests Warned.
Pittsburgh, Feb. Close to twenty
five feet was the high water mark
registered by the swollen rivers here
this noon. This is three feet above
food stage.
Baltimore and Ohio railroad trains
abandoned the Allegheny station be-
cause of the high water and all of
lower Allegheny is under water.
The wllarfs presented a busy scene
this morning. Tnwb boats piled here
and there, signaling in the fog thai
rose from the water, and making coal
41eets ready to ride south on the crest
of the flood.
The food warning started great ac-
tivity among the business houses near
the river fronts. Employees were busy
removing merchandise and other
goods from Easements as many of the
downtown buildings adjacent to the
rivers become filled with water
through the sewers at twenty-five feet.

German attack, the statement says,
was exceedingly violent.
The fighting reached it's fiercest
along the whole line last Saturday and
is now continuing in the same pitch.
The Russians admit that part of the
assault on the Russian line, particu-
larly in the highly important territory
in the region Of Sochaczew and Borji-
NOW, on the road TO Warsaw, has been
successful and that the Germans
drove them back to the second line
Of trenches, but the Russians depre.
cate the value of anything like gains
made by their enemy.
On the other hand, the Russians
claim gains on the lower Vistula and
say that they were able to repulse
attacks of the fiercest nature at other
points.
Military readers of the communica-
ton of the war office say that they
believe the Germans feel that they
have naked time long enough and
that If Warsaw is to be won they
must drive on with all their power,
regardless of the cost.
The fighting was so intense that at
one point in the trench line near
Borjimow 5000 Germans were killed
in one mile.
! Headquarters issued another state
ment, which is as follows:
German officers are deceiving their
men when they affirm that the Rus
SLAMS are being defeated in Poland
and Galicia. On the contrary, the
Austrians are fleeing. The mountain
passes are held by the Russians. Rus.
