who arrived in London yesterday, liz
understood to be on mission which
may have powerful influence In pro-

Although the only announcement re-
garding Col. Houses errand IL that he
has been commissioned by the President
to effect coordination of the various
relief measures over which the United
States has supervision. with particular
regard TO the transportation Of food and
money. the Worlds correspondent under
stands that he Is to conduct unoffcially
an inquiry through the American Am
bassadors at the capitals of the warning
nations to learn the feelings Of the
several belligcrents. The correspondent
believes that Col. House will make no
further representations Offering the ser
vices OF the United States as mediator.
but that he will collect information
which may form basis for the ne
newal of Mr. Wilson's OFFER.
The correspondent adds that there
have been exchanges OF representations
between the Russian and Austrian For
olgn Offices and the Washington Gov
eminent. and that IL Is probable these
representations have contributed to Col.
Houses mission.
From other sources information has

MORGAN PORCELAIN SOLD
FOR AT LEAST $3,OOO,OOO
Syndicate Back of Duyccns TO
Have Pick of Famous
Collection.

The Morgan collection Of Chinese por.
ceIains which has been sold to the
puvecn brothers and which is now in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. was closed
to the public yesterday This is the frs.
step in the sale.
II became known Yesterday that the

Back of them is a syndicate Of collectors

befor" II is offered to the public. The
price paid for the collection is not less
Than SO, 900. 600. A later announcement
may put the figure at 100000.
II Is certain that despite the depres.
sion in the value Of art objects caused by
the European war the Morgan estate will
receive not less than Mr.. Morgan paid.
1t was explained at the museum yester.
day That the room was closed In order
that the appraisers for the estate might
figure out what the collection is WORTH

fore the actual delivery OF the DOR.

CROSS RAVKA,
HALT GERMANS
Advancing Russians Menace
Centre of Kaiser's Army.
Says Petrograd Report.
TURN GERMAN LEFT
IN DAKHONA FIGHT
OF THE WAR NEWS.

SUMMARY OF THE WAR NEWS.
The Cunarder Lusitania entered
Liverpool yesterday flying the Ameri-
can flag. Her captain took this eX-
traordinary step to protect passengers
and mails from German submarines.
American newspaper correspondents,
reporting the incident to the British
Foreign Office. were told that Great
Britain claims the same right she cN-
tends by law to other nations ships
10 fly flags not their own for the pur-
pose OF escaping capture by an enemy.
The text of the German decree an
nouncing submarine blockade of the
British Isles Is in the hands Of the
State Department. It blames the
neutral countries for permitting Great
Britain to cut off supplies to Germany.
Dispatches from Scandinavia and the
Netherlands indicate that the German
decree has provoked indignation in
those countries
The Russian General Staf an
nounces further successes by the Rus
sian armies west Of Warsaw following
the victory over the Germans in the
great battle OF Borjimow. The Rus
slams have crossed the Ravka as well
as the Bzura and are opening a new
battle designed to drive the Germans
from Poland.
The German War Office states that
the Russians are attacking unsuc-
cessfully along the Bzura and asserts
that the Germans captured 1000 Rus
slams and six machine guns. Fresh
Russian attacks in East Prussia are
mentioned.
In western Europe yesterday was
uneventful. according TO both German
and French official announcements.
France reports a slight advance in the
Champagne district and the destruc-
,!cn cf German convoy Of twenty
five wagons in the Woevre. IL is
stated that the French artillery was
effective from Arras to Rheims. The
German War Office says merely that
French attacks north Of Massiges. in
the Champagne district. were failures,
as we're attacks in the Argonne.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-02-07

called the attention Of neutral Powers
to the fact that It must face the
question Of whether It can longer
perscvere IN its strict observance OK
the rules of the Declaration of Lon
don II Great Britain is to continue
It's present course and the neutral
Powers are to- continue TO acquesc
in the violations OF neutrality TO the
detriment Of Germany.
For her violations Of interna-
tional law Great Britain pleads the
vital interests which the British En-
pire has a. stake and the neutral
Powers seem to satisfy themselves
with theoretical protests. Therefore
in fact they accept the vital inter-
ests OF belligercnts as a sufficient
excuse for every method OF warfare.
Germany must now appeal to these
same vital interests To its regret
it sees itself forced to military meas
ures aimed at England in retaliation
against the English procedure. Just
a. England has designated the area
between Scotland and Norway as an
area Of war. so Germany now de-
clares all the waters surrounding
Great Britain and Ireland, including
the entire English Channel, as an
area of war II will thus proceed
against the shipping or the enemy
for this purpose beginning February
is. 1915.
Germany will endeavor to de-
stroy every enemys merchant ship
that liz found in this area of war
without its always being possible TO
avert the peril that thus threatens
persons and cargocs. Ncutrals are
therefore warned against further en-.
trusting crews, passengers and wares
to such ships. Their attention is
called to the fact that il is advisable
for their ships to avoid entering this
area, for. even though the German
naval forces have Instructions TO
avoid violence to neutral shipping in
so far as they are recognizable, in
view OF the MISUSE OF neutral HhGt
ordered by the British Government
and the contingencies of naval war
fare, their becoming victims OF tor
pedoes directed against the enemy's
ships cannot always he averted.
AT the same time il is specifically
noted that shipping north of the
Shetland Islands, in the eastern area
OF the North Sea, and in a strip at
least thirty sea miles in width along
the Netherlands coast is not i'm
perlled. The German Government
gives such early notice OF these
measures that hostile as well as neu-
trial ships may have time accordingly
to adapt their plans for landing at
ports In this area OF war. We may
expect that the neutral Powers will
show no less consideration for the
vital interests of Germany than for
those of England and will aid in
keeping their citizens and the prop
erty of the latter from this area.
This Is the more to be expected. as
it liz to the interest of the neutral
Powers TO see this destructive war
end as soon as possible"
