"We carried out our programme 20

revealing the fact that a definite plan
for the party had existed. "Ihe stories
that were sent back about US were all
absolutely false. How about the
trenches? Vel. of course the boys
are still there but we didn't mean 70
really get them out anyway. It's
wrong TO say the expedition was a
failure, because its real work Is Just
beginning. It Will be carried out by
the permanent peace committee, with
its five American members, two each
from the Scandinavian countries and
two from Holland. They have their
work all mapped out"
Mrs. Hitchcock is a personal friend

New Offensive Gains Mo-
mentum Along Whole
Front.
GERMANS DRIVEN
TO SECOND LINE
New Artillery Aids in Drive
Gar Leaves for Visit
to Front.

Petrograd, Feb. 11.-Although gen
eral revival Of activity is officially re-
ported along the entire Russian front,
the only developments Of more than
Russian advance in the Stripa region,
southeast OF Isebroff, where the Rus
slams succeeded in capturing heights
commanding the district in which runs
the main railway line between the
ChOdorov end Stry rivers, and the oc-
cupaton By the Russians Of the heights
east of Tchcmerine.
The progress in the latter district.
which is between Rovno and Lutsk. is
another sign Of the resumption Of the
Russian offensive which came 20 an
abrupt halt n month ago. when the Ger
mans apparently succeeded in erecting
such firm Notifications that further at
tempts az an advance on the part of the
Russians became waste OF energy and
ammunition.
IL is considered significant that a
new and more formidable Russian Of
fensive ia being launched against the
same positions, and with initial sue
cesses. This ia explained by most OF
the military observers as due to the
new power and effectiveness Of the
Russian artillery, which recently has
shown marked improvement on all
fronts.
The Germans, evidently surprised by
the ferceness Of the new Russian on
slaught. which promises 70 extend to
general initiative along the whole
line. have been forced az several points
in Galicia to retire 70 their second line
Of defence.
Emperor Nicholas yesterday left for

The following Official communication
was issued to-day:

THINK GERMANS WON'T
GIVE UP ALL BELGIUM
Belgian Legation Denies Report
of Peace Proposals.

London. Feb. II. The Belgian Lega-
ton announced to-day that rumors cir
culated that peace proposals recently
were made by Germany to the Belgian
government were devoid Of foundation.
Recent information gathered in gov
eminent circles IN Berlin is that Ger
many holds that part OF Belgium
should be annexed to Germany in any
settlement Of the war.
This view ia directly tho reverse Of
the recent report. coming through
Italy. that Germany had offered 10
cvacuate Belgium az a condition Of
separate peace.
There is no confirmation Of the re-
port OF Germany's willingness 70 cvacu-
ate Belgium. but the contrary view that
Germany desires 20 retain part Of the
country probably will bc made known
in confidential adviccs going to the
American authorities indicating "A less
favorable outlook than had been cx-
pectcd.

SAY BRITISH CRUISER
SANK IN NORTH SEA
Berlin Asserts Torpedoing-
London Denies Loss.

London. Feb. IA Berlin official
statement received here to-day claims
that British cruiser has been sunk
by R German torpedo boat craft and
another British cruiser torpedoed. The
British Official Press Bureau denies
this.
The German statement said that the
German torpedo craft met British
cruisers of the Dogger Bank on Thurs
day night and sank the new cruiser
Arabs and torpedoed second cruiser.
In giving out the German message
for publication the Press Bureau APP
pended the following:
THE British Admiralty stated that
the cruisers above mentioned were four
mine sweeing vessels. three of which
have returned safely"
The British cruiser Arabs is not
listed in the current naval publications.
This is explained by the fact that the
names of the new boats Of the British
navy have not been given out by the
Admiralty because Of war conditions.
