MINES EXPLODE ON

(Aseociated Press Correspondence
Amsterdam, Jan. 15.-Mines along
the Belgian coast near the Dutch
frontier are SO numerous that explos-

almost hourly occurrence. A CORE
spondent says that he recently counted
over a hundred mines. They were
like large kettles or fire extinguishers,'
he says, with a number Of copper
points sticking out Of them. They are
so plentiful as to lead one to believe
that the entire coast waters must have
been filed with them in expectation OF
an attempted landing by the Allies
Soldiers at Zeebrugge, Heyst, an6

mines that are thrown up on the beach
The explosions are sometimes very VI

KITCHENER CONCEALS ALL TROOP
MOVEMENTS,

LONDON, May 13.-(Correspondence Of
TIL Associated Press. )-Spring is witnessing
a movement of troops all over England, some
leaving for the front and others moving
from the towns where they have been billie
ted to e~ncampments in the open country.
But when a battalion is ordered to move.
not even its officers know it's destination.
On any of the main highways Of England
troops may be seen on the march, generally
in brigades. Ki4chener's army looks we'll
seasoned and as fit for active service as The
men at the front, for most Of it has now
been six months in training.
To conceal the movement of troops, con-
slant practice marches in full equipment are
held, and the men do not know whether they
are returning to camp until they are actually
back there. Often they march 10 some point,
entrain, and III the course Of & few hours
find themselves on board a transport. Ii their
quarters are crowded, they may be sure it is
only to cross the Channel. But if hunks are
provided and ample deck room, it means
Egypt, the Dardaneiles OF some lar point.
Every farewell q soldier takes Of family
and friends he expects in any case to be his
last until his return from war. So secret
and so complicated are the movements of
the new forces i'll England that no authentic
information could possibly be collected for
the enlightenment Of the enemy. But it
may be assumed that the volunteer system
has not disappointed Lord Kitchener.-I6a6

RUSH OF ITALIAN RESERVISTS.

The busiest Consular Office in New York
yesterday was the Italian, at SptIlg
and Lafayette Streets Nearly 5000 reser-
visits besieged the Office to register their
eagerness to return to Italy and fight. There
was no disorder and everybody was in good
humour. There was time for not more than
half Of those applying to register, the rest,
with Others, are expected to be on hand
again to-day.
Up to 5 O'Clock the fact that ITALY had
declared war had not been officially
communicated to the Consul General. The
news that King Victor Emmanuel has issued
q proclamation granting amnesty to Italian
subjects in all parts of the world who had
violated the Italian laws by emigrating to
evade compulsory military service was com
municated to the Consulate General,
The men now in the first line of the Ital-
inn defense are mainly those born between
1888 and 1895, inclusive. The men of the
sharpshooting arm born as far back as 1876
have been called, as has q special class Of
expert artillerymen. 1t is expected that
about 5000 New York Italians will immedI-
ately return to Italy and take their places
in the army; from Philadelphia about 5000
will go, and from Boston 1000. Many of
the reservists will sail on the steamships
Taormina, Duca Della Baruzzi, and Caropic
within the next ten days. One authority
said a total Of 100000 reservists might sail
within the next few weeks. Many may go
via Canada.
No more Italian macaroni is expected to
reach New York for months; perhaps not
until after the war. The Italian Govern
ment has prohibited the expectation Of ma
caroni, olive oil, and wines. The local
Italian newspapers printed advertisements
yesterday pointing out that ''the American
brand of macaroni is just as good."-Nel0

London, June 18lh-Field Marshal Sir
J I'm French reports as follows During
the last week there has been no change in
the situation. The enemy exploded five
mines on different parts Of our front, but
none caused any damage to our trenches and
only one caused any casualties. On Tues
day evening we captured the German front
line trenches east of Festubert on a mile
front, but we failed to hold them during the
night against strong counter-attacks Early
on Wednesday morning, in the neighbour
hood Of Ypres, we successfully attacked the
enemy's positions north OF Hooge and east of
Ypres and occupied the whole of his first
line CT trenches on a front of 1000 yards,
as also parts Of his second line, and by noon
on Wednesday 1877 prisoners had passed to
our rear and o German counter-attack had
been repulsed with heavy losses.
The British steamship "Strathnairn" has
been torpedoed off the Sicily Islands and
sunk, % Of her crew, including the Captain,
losing their lives. One Englshmau and 10
Chinese were saved and landed at Milford
Haven. The torpedo struck amidships and
blew mp one boiler. -Four boats were
launched, but two capsizod, and another
was smashed against the teamer's side. The
survivors say the periscope of a submarine
was seen, but that her crew made no at
tempt at rescue.
A Berlin official bulletin states: ain
consequence Of the Russian defeat the Eng
liah aud French again attacked at many
points on the Western front with strong
forces. The English succeeded il forcing
back 10 some extent our positions near
Yprcs, north Of Bellewaarde. whore the bat

fish divisions between the Estaires La Bas-
see road and the La Bassee canal failed, our
Neetphalian troops and some divisions Of
the Prussian Guard completely repulsing
their assaults after desperate hand TO band
fighting, the enemy suffering heavy losses
and leaving machine guns and bomb throw
ers in our hands. Since his defeat on Sun
day ana Monday the enemy has not made
my further ventures against our strong po-
8ition near the Lorette hill held by our
Baden troops, but near Moulin Sous Tou-
vent the fighting continues. IN the East
ern front the defeated Russians attempted
on Tuesday, along the whole front be-
tween the river San, north Of Sieniawa,
and the marshes of the DnIester, to bring
the Teutouic Allies to a standstill but in the
evening they were everywhere driven from
their positions near Gieplice, north of Sien-
niawa, in the Lubsyow ZuwadoWka sector,
southwest OF Niemerow and west Of Sadow
Wisznia, and the enemy is being pursued.
General Won Mackensen's army has captured
upwards Of forty thousand men and sixty
nine machine guns since Saturday. Between
the marshes of the Dniester and Zurawna
the Russians have gained some ground, but
the general situation there is unchanged"
A Reuters despatch from Petrograd states
that Russian military critics estimate the
Austro. German forces operating against the
Russians at a minimum Of forty five German
and twenty-six Austrian corps, or about two
mlllion eight hundred thousand men.
