Germans Admit Hurried
Retreat from Przasnysz

Berlin, March via Amsterdam TO
London The following dispatch from
the German Chief Headquarters was
made public this evening:
After the marvellous capture of the
strongly fortified town of Przasnysz
north Poland by one of our corps,
which had advanced from an eastern
direction. the situation became critical
for one day by the advance Of three
Russian army corps, which attacked
the German wiz. from the east, south
east and south, and forced the vic
torious German corps by a backward
movement 10 make front against
these superior forces
parts of the corps were sharply
pressed and great numbers of wounded
in the neigh boring villages could not be
removed in time; but the Russians
were unable to disturb the orderly
backward movement and lost touch
with the German corps. This proves
that they suffered severely during their
attacks.
"Meanwhile German reinforcements
came and the situation was restored.
1T was quite an insignificant Russian
success and cannot be compared with
the previous German stOrmiug Of
Przasnysz, in which we took 10000 pris 70
oners and a great quantity of war
booty"

Of making Germany's submarine war
impossible, and Germany's answer
gives heed to this demand.
Concerning Germany's willingness to
proceed according 20 the general inter
national rules against hostile and neu-
trial merchantmen, provided the abuse
of the flag is abandoned, Count Won
ReventlOw says:
According to this q German sub
marine would let a merchantmen under
the British flag pass by with courteous
bows, perhaps with a salute OF the
flag. To proceed according TO interna-
tional rules would mean putting an end
to searching and the possible capture
Of neutrals, and the capture under all
circumstances Of hostiles. Such a
course or German submarines is on.
Of H.. question. Moreover. even If
Great Britain promised to stop the use
OF false flags, there could be no Ger

Germany would be the loser in any
event"
