Berlin. via London, May 13-The
German War Office announced today
that in the recent fighting in Galicia
and Russian Poland 143,500 Russians
had been captured. Ii also stated
that 60 cannon and 255 machine guns
had been taken from the Russians,
and that the victorious Austrian am
vance eastward in Galicia, were ap
preaching the fortress of Przemysl
The statement follows:
The army under General Won Mack
ensen in the course OF its pursuit of
the Russians reached yesterday the
neighborhood OF Subiecko, on the low
er Wisloka. and Kulbuezowa, north
east of Debica. Under the pressure
of this advance the Russians also re
treated from their positions north of
the Vistula In this section the
troops under General Won Woyrech,
closely following the enemy penetrat
ed so far as the region northwest OF
Kielce
In the Carpathians -Iiungar-
ian and German troops under Gener-
al Won Linsingen conquered the hills
east Of the upper Stryl and took
1850 men prisoners. as well as cap
tured six machine guns
At the present moment while the
armies under General Won Macken-
sen are approaching the Przemysl
fortress and the lower San, it is pos
sible to form an approximate idea of
the booty taken. In the battles of
Tarnow and Gorliee, and in the bat.
ties during the pursuit of these arm
les we have so far taken 103.500 Rus
sian prisoners, 60 cannon, and 255
machine guns. In these figures the
booty taken by the allied troops
fighting in the Carpathians and north
of the Vistula is included This am
cunts to a further 10000 prisoners.

London, May 13-Premier Asquith,
in the House of Commons today, an
nounced the proposals of the cabinet
for dealing with enemy aliens. These
proposals were submitted yesterday
afternoon to Andrew Bonar Law, the
leader of the opposition and were ap-
proved by him. They are drastic,
sweeping and unprecedented. Deeply
as the House was stirred by this nee

In brief the government policy is in
ternment and deportation. The an
nouncement by Premier Asquith was
followed by a subsistence of the anti
