committee can see no valid rea-
on why teachers and children

Resulting from correspondence
between George w. Dudderar. secre-

Board of Trade, and G. w. Gallo,
way, OF Baltimore, general manager
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company the following official order
has been issued to officials of the
road in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Mt,
Royal and Washington, d. c., by Mr..
Galloway:
1t has been brought to my atten-
tion that our callers at Philadelphia,
Mount Royal and Camden, and the
train callers in the union station in
Washington, in calling out the stops
made by our western trains, omit
Clarksburg, although that is very
important point on our line and the
travel to and from that point is quite
heavy.
wish you would arrange in the
future that In calling the through
trains Clarksburg be included. This.
Of course. covers all the western
trains travelling that route.

'FOR WARSAW

B0TTLE UP DECREE
Text Differs Somewhat from
What Has Been Published
about the Same.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The Ger.

today in regard to the decree plac-
Ing the waters around the British isles
in the war zone that Germany "does
not intend to modest or sieze Amer.
lean vessels laden with foodstuffs for
the civilian population of enemy
countries"
The statement expresses the hope
that England will not make neces-
sary a reconsideration Of this atti-
tide by selling American ships like
the Wilhelmina."
Tho official text OF the German adj
miralty proclamation transmitted by
Ambassador Gerard to the state de-
partment today reveals that naviga-
ton routes to the north of Shetland
islands and the eastern part of the
North sea, as well as strip OF thirty
nautical miles along the Dutch coast,
are not in the danger zone, but the
waters directly around Great Britain
and ireland comprise the prohibited
areas. This differs from the publish

who feel the loss Of such attendance!

With German Commander Con-
tinuing Costly Lunges to
Break throughto City.
GREATER Loss OF LIFE
With Russians Now Seriously
Threatening Germans with
0utflanking Movement.
%. Assocl4rrp r.tss,

LONDON. Feb. Con his chosen
ground to the west of Warsaw Cen
eral con Hindenburg, the German
commander la continuing his costly
lunges to break through to the Polish
capital. At the same time the Rus
slams further TO the north have
pressed forward and after crossing
the Rzura river they are seriously
threatening the Germans with an
outfankfng movement.
Thus another great battle for War
saw is on involving perhaps greater
loss Of life than any other conflict
in the war. The issue is till unde-
cided but the Russians claim that the
initiative has passed to them, but
further furious German attacks are
expected.
The more complex and strategical-
ly. the more important struggle In tho
Carpathtans is dragging or without
2 any decisive turn. Broadly speaking
IL appears that in the western halt
of the battle region the Russians are
making progress while in the eastern
half they appear to have fallen back
from the Lupnow and Beskid passes
to prepare positions where they are
attempting to stem the rush Of large
Austro- German forces. The Rus
sian counter blow on the last assault
ofGenera1 Won Hindenburg's men is to
British observers the most interesting
development OF the struggle in the
east. 1t overshadows for the mo-
ment the operations Of the Russians
in East Prussia and is taken in some
quarters to idnicate that they have
ceased playing the role OF merely
holding their lines to the west OF
Warsaw and determined on an effort
to expel the Invaders.
The western war zone has seen
virtually no change during the week
but there are many reports Of Ger
man preparations for the renewed &C.
tivity in Belgium. The German
threat Of a submarine blockade may
be factor in this situation. the the
DRY being advanced thst the Germans
expect the allies to attempt to force
them back from the coast with the
idea of destroying their submarine
base.
Dispatches from Cairo indicate
that the Turks. who attacked the
Suez canal, were merely the advance
contingent Of three columns, which
are struggling across the desert.
The main bodies Of the invading
army should soon be heard from.
