The MOeWe Falls

Duenos Aires, March Press dis
patches from Monteyideo say that a
steamer arriving from Europe inter-
cepted near the coast of Brazil wire-
less message stating that British
cruisers had captured the German
auxiliary cruiser Mocwe The Moewe,
II is said, was taken to the Island Of
Trinidad by her captors.
There is some doubt however as to
the identity Of the German vessel re-
ported to have been captured An.
other version Of the account is that
the vessel in question is3thc German

The news relative to the Moewc was
communicated to the I'ruguaYan

the American steamer Santa Barbara
and the Swedish steamer Axel-John-
son, under Il promise that the news
should not be published. The COM

GERMAN GAINS FOUR
TIMES GREATER THAN FRENCH

] Berlin, March = Cby Wireless tc
Sayville The overseas News aScn-
cy said today;
/ Summarizing the present situation
on the western front around Nerdun
correspondents at the front declare
that between February . and March
total Of 10 square kilometers OF
terrain was gained by the Germans
this being four times as much as the
French won in their entire offensive
in the Champagne last fall.
'The taking of this ground north
and east Of verdun has shortened the
German range radius OF action from
the north to the southeast by several
kilometers
"The German tactics are consistent
ly to evade the possibilities Of great
loss of human life. and therefore. to
avoid direct storming and replace it
by the collaboration Of all arms. The
CONSEQUENCE is that the entire advance
consisted of a series of tidal waves,
each of which during the past few
days was productive of gains.
The correspondents again empha-
size the fact that all the gains were
obtained by losses which were compar-
atlvely insignificant
