GENERAL sKINNER's REPORT
United States Consul General Gives
q List OF Seven Ships That Were
Attacked Within Past
Five Days.

Wash1ngton.-Reports frOm An0eri-
can cOnsuls In Europe show that there
has been within the past two weeks a
renewal Of German submarine warfare
on an unprecedented scale. The re-
ports also show that the Germans have
attacked no vessel on which there were
American citizens.
A dispatch from Consul General
Skinner, at London. reporting seven
cases Of submarine attacks within five
days, corroborated the reports of other
consular agents. He cabled:
Danish schooner Emanuel sunk;
Russian schooner Ema sunk, 2Sth,
and crew of eight cast adrift in own
boat; landed Galway, 29th.
British steamer haywood SUNK
crew saved; British schooner Pearl
sunk, both, crew landed at Falmouth;
British steamer Rollins sunk, crew
landed probably at Spanish port.
Norwegian steamer Vindeggen sunk
9th, crew landed at Palma; British
schooner William George sunk"
"a State Deps rtment official, re-
ferring to the various consular re-
ports, said Germany was evidently try
ing to live up to her pledges to the
United States in the settlement Of the
Sussex case. The sole adverse excep-
ton to the conduct Of submarine war
fare by the Central Powers is that OF

RUSSIANS MAKE
ANOTHER DRIVE
Keep on Their Steady Advance
Toward Lemberg.
TEuTON LINE PUSHED BACK
Two Prolonged Advances Made To-
ward the GaIician Capital-5erlin
Admits Russians Have Pene-
trated German Lines.

London.-The twO-pronged advance
of the Russians on Lemberg Is again
gathering full headway, and the Aus
tro-German armies of Prince Leopold
of Bavaria and Archduke Karl have
been pushed back. Both northeast
and southeast Of the Galician capital
the Russians have registered ad-
vances, capturing according to the OIL
cial report issued in Petrforad, more
than 1000 prisoners. Russian gains
are admitted by Berlin.
The two main actions are being
waged in the region of the Brody-
Krasne railway, about 80 miles north
east of Lemberg, and the Brzezany
sector on the ZlOta Lipa River bV
miles southeast of the city.
IN the former district tAe Russians
have pressed forward against heavy
resistance, taking about 1000 prisoners.
A Teuton position on the right bank
of the Zlota Lipa was carried on the
This new stroke Of General Brus-
silof is believed to have been made to
forestall the offensive contemplated
by Field Marshal Won Hindenburg'
It puts the Teutons upon strict de-
fensiye in the Eastern theater, fol
lowed close upon the heels Of tentative
attacks by them which are believed
to have been the first movements OF
the contemplated push.
The Russian official statement says:
"In the neighborhood of the Brody-
Krausne Railway and to the south
wards, our troops, by heavy fighting
are forcing their way forward, the
enemy stubbornly resisting the ad-
vance. We have captured here So OIL
GERS and 1928 men Of the rank and
file.
'The fighting is turning to our
favor to the south of Brzezany on the
River Tseniuvka and in the region OF
the highest on the right bank Of the
Zlota Lipa. Here we captured part OF
the enemy position by assault, taking
112 officers and 2,268 Of the rank and
file, as well as some machine guns.
Enemy counter attacks during the
night were frustrated by our fire."
Berlin's report on the operations
follows:
'"The Russians at various places
have resumed their attacks. On both
sides of the Brody-Lemberg Railway
and to the southwark as far as Gra-
borna, near Zarkow, the Russians at
tacks were partially checked by our
curtainsof FIRE, while as many as seven
repeated charges were completely
broken up.

ION the front Of Archduke Karl, on
both sides Of the zlota Lipa violent
hand to hand fighting has been in
progress. In the angle between the
Ceniovka and the Zlota Lipa the Rus
SLAMS have advanced. Further to the
West the Turkish troops elected by
counter attacks the Russian detach-
ments which had forced their way into
I their lines. Two hundred and thirty
prisoners were brought in"
