 LABASSE, FRANCE. AIRMEN ACTIVE.
Populace of Great Britain Celebrate Victory and Talk of German Cruiser. Little Doing on Eastern Line.

LONDON, Mar 1.-The arrival Of the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Freiderich at Newport News. re-. moving for time at least, the danger of another menace to British ship ping, the success of the British troops in the region Of Labasse, are for the moment the most interesting topics of discussion in the British Isles.
 Whether the Eitel will be interned | or again set out for the high seas. it :, is considered here that her career as an armed cruiser must come to an. end for should she be allowed to sail after repairs, it is believed that the cruisers of the Allies will be on the watch and will account for her.
 or the British victory in northern France there is no news beyond of-. ncial reports. It is believed that while no great amount of ground was captured, an improvement in the Britt ish position was brought about of the greatest importance. and if further pressed, might compel the Germans to evacuate Labasse and perhaps oth- CT points, which make their line SO strong at present Equally important was the success of the British airmen in destroying the railway junction at Menin and Courtrai These are on one of the German main lines of com muniCation The destruction will de- lay the arrival Of new conungents of F.a Fn Ir trating in Belgium for another at- tempt to break through to Calais and Boulogne
 According to Dutch reports these troops brought with them a large nun Der of boats for the passage Of canals and rivers. For the first time in months they included cavalry units There has been some fighting in Champagne but on the whole the French seemed satisfied for the present with the progress they have made in that region In the Vosges the battle for Reich Ackerkopf has been resumed.
 These. however. are small affairs in comparison with the battles in pro 1 gress in north Poland between the ! Niemen and Vistula rivers. The Ger mans, apparently, are falling back in the north, but are fighting a rear guard action which has reached the importance of pitched battle talk ing a few prisoners with them The Germans are again in the Au- gustowa forest on the East Prussian frontier which has been the burial place of so many German and Rus. sian soldiers. The Germans brought up more guns but of lighter calibre to lombard OssOwetz, while further Co the south, in the neighborhood of Osrolenka they claim to have de- feated the Russians. The battle on the roads from Khorkole to Przasnysz along which the Germans hope Co reach and pierce the Russian fortress line, still continues The weather
 having turned colder and the ground
 in North Poland hardened, it greatly
 facilitates the movements of troops
 This is said to be the first time in
 history that the weather has favored
 an army attempting 10 invade Rus
 sia.
 Reports from Tenedos say the
 Turkish artillery in the Dardanelles grows weaker daily The latest bonn bardment by the allies warships bad f ly damaged the forts at Chanak Kal esi Two big cruisers spent the nigh
 in the straits protecting the yesse engaged in mine sweeping. Dispatch
 es from Rome indicate the German , ambassador has renewed negotiation
 with the Italian goyemment with th
 object Of securing the continued net
 trality of that country in return fo
 territorial concessions i'm Austria Austria, however. is said to be or posed 10 making such concessions 8
 would satisfy Italy.
