 LONDON, Feb 20.-A German sub marine made it's appearance in the Irish Sea this morning and torpedoed without notice the British coastinG steamer Cambank of 1890 tons regis ter. Three of the crew were killed and a fourth drowned while the men were taking to boats. This incident was the only one connected with the German submarine blockade of the British Isles reported during the day. It came about at the same time the Anglo French fleets r-ere bombarding the Dardanelles forts and while the Russians. according to a telegram from Petrograd, were administering defeat to the Germans at Qssowetz, 1 Poland and driving back to the from tier troops who had attacked that fortress.
 In the meantime battles on the con- tinent continue with ever increasing intensity. The offensive the allies took early in the week brought about renewed activity all along the line, and attacks and counter attacks have become much more numerous. Both the British and French seemingly made considerable progress at the outset of the offensive operations and this made it imperative that the Ger mans deliver counter attacks to re- gain the ground lost. In carrying these out. the Germans have shown the same desperate spirit which charac- l teriZed previous operations under sim liar circumstances.
 In long report covering weeks of operations to February F, a French eye witness claims for the French many minor successes and the repulse of German attacks. The Germans. too, make similar claims, so that the public is left to judge as to the out i come of the weeks flare-up
 From the eastern front there was no news except tonights official dis patch from Petrograd which says the I Germans suffered at Ossowetz and the German plans will be entirely up- set as defeat at this point would en- l danger the whole of their line north ward along the East Prussian frontier 1 In the rest of Poland and in the | still in progress, there is no change of the relative positions of the oppos- ing armies, while in Bukowina a bat tie is being fought along the Pruth river Retirements to this position should be of advantage to the Rus sians as it considerably shortens their | line and enable endorsements to reach fbep, mora aac;lv Tho Car bians and Austrians are again facing each other across the Danube and have in turn been bombarding Sem ! lin and Belgrade. respectively. and positions near those cities. This may mean the beginning of q new cam- paign or perhaps it is an attempt by the Serbians to help relieve the press ure on the Russians.

 cept for the loss of life. the sinking
 of the Cambank is not in itself a sc
 rious matter. but the presence of | German submarine near the rout that
 Atlantic liners take on their way to and from Liverpool and aolng which many steamers pass daily is bound to
 cause some uneasness. It is true this is not the first time a hostile sub marine has been in these waters. but the last one gave crews of the three | ships it sank an opportunity to leave
 their vessels The Cambank had ap-
 narentlv slowed down to pick up Liverpool pilot when it was observed by the submarine and torpedoed. The Norwegian foreign office has or dered the Norwegian consulate in London to investigate the sinking yes terday of the Norwegian tank steamer
 Belridge supposedly by German sub marine.
