Take and Retake Trenches.

Paris, Feb. l4,-German soldiers cap
tured 200 yards of French trenches
east of seppois in upper Alsace, it was
officially admitted today, but the
French regained most of the ground
through counter attacks.
Before the Germans could dig them
selves in, they were driven off,
Yesterday afternoon the French cap
tured several German trenches, at Frise,
after which the Germans counter at
tackled. Nearly whole German com
pany was killed, only 20 remaining be-
hind as prisoners. The statement said
the German losses were considerable.
The communique indicated no impor-
tant changes in the Champagne or in
the region north of Arras where the
armies have been struggling for two
days.

does not distinguish between passenger
and freight merrlAnt, and declared
that both viii be stink without warning
if they are armed.
The Austrian announcement has also
reached here and will be turned over to
President Wilson with the Berlin no
tice. Both will be made public tomor-
row.
1t is admitted that if this govern
ment takes the German view, the state
department must go beyond the mere
restriction of entry Of such armed ships
into American ports. Moreover, simple
warning to American citizens to keep
off such vessels would not relieve the
government of responsibility for citizns
who disreglrded the warning. Probably
the administration must refuse to grant
passports to citizens desiring to travel
on armed ships.
The allies replies to Lansing's pro-
posals for disarming merchantmen are
expected to arrive in a day or two.
Should a crisis develop over the stu
alton, it is expected to arise very soon,
as the new rules go into effect next
month.

GRAVE CONSEQUENCES
MAY FOLLOW ATTACK
ARMED MERCHANTMEN

Washington, Feb. 14.-President Will
son and Secretary of State Lansing are
in perfect accord over their policy in
the matter of the Teutonic plans to
make unwarned attacks on armed mer-
chantmen, it was learned today. The
president considers that issues may
arise from the proposals of Germany
and Austria, fraught with possibilities
as grave, if not more grave than any
that have confronted the nation since
the war started. The attitude Of the
government toward the Teutonic an
nouncement has not been fully determ-
ind.
Earlier reports that the president and
his premier had disagreed on the sub
iect were declared to have been un-
founded.
The administration has learned that
Berlin is sending her photographed
copies of British instructions to vessels
to "ram or run" when sighting SUB
marines. Upon these orders, the cen
trail powers nold that they are putified
in their new course.

From time immemorial baths have
played an importan. part In the re-
