The Austro-German army is said to
have met reverses on the Galician side

ancing these Russian successes are
the Russian admission of their retire
ment before strong forces in Bukowina
and the Austrian claim of having en-
tered the town of Kimpolung in the
crown land.
In East Prussia the fighting, appar-
emily, is assuming a more desperate
character. This may account for the
lull on the Warsaw front, as the East
Prussian forces may have been rein
forced by some Of Field Marshal Won
Hinderburg's veterans.
The fighting on the western front
has been taking its usual monotonous
course with sporadic infantry assaults
on the trenches to an accompaniment
of artillery firing.
The full text of the German block
ade proclamation, published in London
served as theme for much comment
in which the Lusitania flag incident
figures largely. Most of the papers de-
fend the use of the American flag in
this emergency, but some of them ex-
press misgivings as to the effect of
this course of action.

British Liner Flies U. S. Flag.
New York, Feb. 11.-Passengers on
the Cunard line British steamer Or
duna, which has arrived here from
England, said that the steamer flew the
American flag for nearly "a hours on
January 81, while passing through the
Irish sea. The Stars and Stripes, they
said, were hoisted on Sunday about an
hour after the Orduna left Liverpool
and not hauled down until early Mon
day morning.
German Submarine Feared.
The Orduna was scheduled to sail
from Liverpool on Saturday, Jan. 80,
but did not depart until 1920 o'clock
the next morning. Passengers heard
that the reason for the delay was that
a German submarine was lowering in
the vicinity. The American flag was
raised, they said, shortly after the Or
duna cleared Mersey. The steamship
touched at Queenstown the same day
and was flying the Stars and Stripes
when it entered and left the harbor,
they said.
The explanation which the passen-
gers said they received from some of
the Orduna's under officers was that
the American flag had been raised for
the purpose of protecting the Ameri-
can citizens among the 240 passen-
gers.
Captain Thomas Taylor, commander
Of the Orduna, refused to discuss the
matter, saying he was under orders
rom the British admiralty not to talk.

SOME LEADERS, HOWEVER, BE-
LIEVE WORK OF CONGRESS
CAN BE COMPLETED
BY MARCH 4.
STILL HOPE TO SAVE
SHIP PURCHASE BILL
Adjournment Comes After Longest
Continuous Fight in History of
Upper Legislative Body of
the United States-Plan
to Gain Majority.

Washington, Feb. 12.-An extra SEES
sion of congress following the close of
the present session, March 4, seems in
evitable, according to opinions ex-
pressed by leaders in both houses fol-
lowing the adjournment of the senate
after session that continued with
out a break for 81 hours and II min
utes.
There are some, however, who said
they still hoped, despite the unprece-
denied fight against the government
ship purchase bill, that the measure
would be disposed of and the appropri-
alton bills acted upon before the ad-
journment and a special session prove
unnecessary.
Longest Continuous Session.
The adjournment, which came after
the longest continuous session in the
history of the upper legislative body
of the United States, was achieved
by a coalition of Republican and Demo
cratic senators opposed to the ship
purchase bill, and Senators Norris and
Kenyon, who, up to this time, have
stood by the measure.
Adjournment came on a motion
made by Senator O'Gorman, which pre-
vailed 4S to 46, after Senator Norris,
deploring the fatiguing filibuster, had
proclaimed his conclusion that oppon-
ents of the ship purchase bill could
filibuster it to it's death.
Still Hope to Save Bill.
nico 70 1ncc Of
port from Progressive Republicans,
but still hopeful that something yet
could be done to save the bill, admin
istration leaders of the senate would
not admit that the cause was lost.
Anticipating break in the senate,
President Wilson had been comforting
throughout the day with house
leaders on plans for getting the bill
before the house, and such a course
may be taken, though the senate Re-
publicans insist that their fight will
continue until the end of the session,
no matter what the administration
forces may achieve on the house side.
Plan to Gain Majority.
The plan of the administration lead
ers is to press Senator Fletcher's mo-
ton to recommit the ship purchase
bill with instructions for it's amend
ment to satisfy Republican Progress
sives. 1t is conceded to be probable,
however, that this motion will be de-
feated and that Senator Clarke's mo-
ton to recommit the bill to the COM
merce committee without instructions
will prevail. Senator
Kenyon will vote for the latter mo-
ton and Senator Norris is expected
to do so also in view of his announced
position. That would give the opposi-
ton majority of one with every
senator voting.
