Russians Take USciecZkO.

London, Feb. 10, 2:34 D. m.-Sig- hificance is attached by Russian mili- tary commentators ito the offensive movement of Russian troops in east ern Galicia, just north of the Buko- wina boundary, which is reported of ficially from Petrograd to have results ed in the capture of Uscieczko and the crossing of the Dniester at that point Reuters Petrograd cores T9ondent says the opinion is expressed that if the Russians continue their movement they will threaten all the Austro German positions in the dis trict of Czernowitz, capital of Buko- wina.
 According to statements made by prisoners, the correspondent says, the desperate defense of CzernOWltz by the Teutonic forces which has cost them large losses, was dictated by po- litical rather than strategical consid- arations, an order having been issued to the troops declaring that the fall of CzernoWitz would cause the imme- diate adherence of Rumania to the Quadruple entente.
 Owing to the flooding of the O2lnskl canal on account of a sudden thaw, the Germans have been compelled to evacuate all of their second line trenches in that district, losing large quantities of ammunition.

PETROLITE CASE NOW
 PUTT UP TO AUSTRIA
Lansing Asks Dual Monarchy to Probe and Explain Attack by U-BOat
 on American Steamer.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Secretary Lansing announced today that he had Sent to the Austro-Hungarian govern ment through Ambassador Penfield a despatch asking for an investigation and an explanation of the attack by an Austrian submarine on the Ameri can tank steamer Petrolite.
 The secretary said published state ments that demands had been made upon the Vienna government were mot true" but that it was within the range of possibility that demands of some sort might be made in the fu- ture should the investigation and ex- planation asked warrant them.
 The secretarys despatch called at tention to affidavits from members of the crew of the Petrolite and to in formation from other sources to the effect that the ship was stopped in the Mediterranean near Alexandria by an Austrian submarine, which fired upon her and wounded one man in her engine room.
 The submarine commander asked for food. which Capt. Thompson of the Petrolite refused. He thereupon sent boarding party on the Ameri- can ship and removed one American member of her crew, who was held as a hostage while the Austrians took the food they required from the Petro- lite's stores.
 Novel questions are involved in the case Warships under certain stress may take food from merchantmen if they give proper receipts or payment, but it is realized that if submarines are to be permitted to do so every neutral ship might be made a base for their operations.

 Utterly False.

 This was in reference to a state siTfent attrfbuted to pr. Alfred Zim- rnermann, under secretary for for eign affairs in an interview with The Associated Press published on Feb. 4, in which he said:
 'I do not understand America $ course. We had thought the submar- inc issue settled and the Dusitania question on the way to an arrange ment-had agreed to pay indemnity and all that--when the United States suddenly made it's new demands which it is impossible for us to ac- cept."

 Berlin, Feb. 9.-The text of the interview with Under Secretary Zim- mermann was submitted to him and by him before it was cabled. Regarding the phrase new demands it is literally exact.
