It LONDON, March 1sThe outer
forts Of Przemys1 toward which a
part OF the Austrian army has been
struggling In an effort to brin g about
the relief of the beseiged garrison.
have at last fallen before the Rus
slams. according to unofficial reports
reaching London. Although conflr-
matfonis quite lacking. British news
papers today apparently are eager 10
regard the report as not improbable.
They refer to the fact that news
yesterday said the surrender of this
stronghold was but matter of few
days.
True or untrue this Is about the
only overnight news from the east
ern front although there has been
much speculation concerning the en-
gagements reported on the northern
frontier OF East Prussia and referred
to In wireless messages from Berlin
as weak Russian attacks on Tau
roggen and Langszargen." Langs-
zargen is just within the borders of
East Prussia not far from the I'M
portant German fortress of Tilsit and
the presence of Russian troops al this
point may mean new invasion OF
German territory.
cording to the opinion of British OH
servers, do the Austro-G erman forces
appear to be making progress except
between Stanislau and Kolomea, to
The north OF Bukowina. where they
are pushing forward In an attempt
to push the Russian left flank.
British military experts think that
the position OF the German armies IN
The East precIudes transfer at this
time OF any troops to the West and
the German plan Of dealing Russia
crushing blow before attempting
the spring advance IN the West has
tailed Five out of six OF the new
German army corps are said to be en-
gagged on and beyond the East Prus-
sian frontier. fact which British
observers think will make 1t difficult
for Germany to meet the demands
likely to be imposed on 1t in the
West.
The full import of the British vic
tory at Neuve Chappe1le Is only now
beginning to be grasped by the pub
lie. It has greatly cheered both
troops and civilians rs confirming the
belief that the German line can be
brokengif the allies care to pay the
price. Several thousand wounded
men from this battlefield already
have arrived In England. The press
again today cautions the people that
the taking Of the Dardanelles is like
II to be slow affair to accomplish
which the allies must pay the price
just as they have done at Neuve
Chapelle.

NO KICK YET ON

from either Russia or France.
Not Parallel Case. 4

sReferences had been made to the
subject pf transfer Of flags In dtplo-
matte correspondence over the steam
ship, Dacia, and previously over the
BnndiHa, but these are held by the
state department not to be parallel
cases as they involve transactions be
tween private individuals whereas the
Dill pending in the Senate would make
tne United States government q party
to any PURCHASE Of vessels made under
it. !.
Inasniuch as the state department
holds that what might have been said
in the Dacia or Bfindilla cases does
not apply TO government purchases.
Majority Leader Underwood in the
House, on behalf OF the state depart
ment, denied that the pending ship
Dill had been the subject OF COMMUNE
ication between the Washington gov
einment and Great Britain.
Neutrality Expected,
At the British embassy the view
was volunteered that since the pend
ing bill had not yet passed n4getia-
tons would not be proper and even II
the measure were enacted there was
no reason to suppose that the United
States government. exercising the
powers designated BY! the Legislation,
would commit any unneutral act, II

that the British anibas sador had made

circumstances would be the view Of
me British government, pointing out
incidentally that while England in
the past had recognized some trans
fers OF flags during wal, as legal there
was no doubt in his mind. Of The OPP
position Of Russia and France.
The Administration View.
Administrator officials, confident
tsthefr rights, are preparing to take
the subject up in formal negotiations
after the pending bill passes. They
argue that there Is nothing in inter-
national law to prevent purchases by
a neutral OF all kinds Of products
from beiligerent government in
the ordinary course Of trade and hold,
however, that the resolution to buy
a vessel, which entered an American
port as many German and Austrian
vessels did before the outbreak Of
war does not differ in principle from
the sale by German in the United
States OF an automobile or any other
piece Of personal property.
