Washington, Jan. 10.-The govoin-

before the war against European
steamship lines engaged in carrying
teeragc passengers. was dismissed to-
day by The Supreme Court on the
ground that. tho alleged general pool

The defendants were twelve British,

HOME SECRETARY
Redmond May Quit - 94,997
Irish Have Enlisted Out Of
562,115 Available.

London, Jan. 10. Ministerial circles
express hope that opposition Of the
trades unions TO the governments com
pusion bill may be sufficiently modl-
fed to permit the labor representatives
Arthur Henderson, President of the
Board Of Education, and William Brace
and George II. Roberts, respectively
Parliamentary Under Secretary for
Home Affairs and Lord Commissioner Of
the Treasury-to remain IN the official
family.
John Redmond's retirement from the
leadership OK the Nationalist party and
possibly from Parliament is extremely
probable, according to "The Morning
Posts" Dublin correspondent, owing to
grave differences of opinion within the
party. especially on the question Of
military compulson.
At Cabinet meeting to-day Mr..
Henderson explained the attitude Of
himself and his two colleagues in ten
dering their designations last Thurs
day. following the act Of the labor con-
gress in voting to oppose the compul-
sion bill
The Cabinet. after hearing Mr.. Hen
derson, decided that Premier Asquith
should invite the members Of the Par
liamentary Labor party and the Ma
tional Labor party's executive commit
tee TO meet him and discuss certain
aspects Of the bill"
The invitation has been accepted and
the meeting between the Premier and
the Laborites will take place in private
IN the House of Commons on Wednes-
day.
The exclusion Of Ireland from COM
pulsory service led to a request for
statements of the number Of men avail
able for military service in Ireland and
the number Of men actually recruited
there. This information was communi-
Gated in the House of Commons to-day.
The men between nineteen and forty
one years Of age available for military
service in the four provinces Of Ireland
on last August 10 were approximately
as follows: Leinster. 1857; Ulster,

SAYS PETROGRAD
Russians Claim To Be ConsOl-
idating New Positions
Near CzernOWitz.

London, Jan. 10.-A cslr, has settled
over the great battlefield in Eastern
Galicia. The Russian Official communi-
cation says it is due 70 the huge losses
and resulting decentralization OF the
Austro-Hungarlan army.
That there is some basis for thi.
statement. is evident from the estimate
Of the Hungarian newspaper "Pester
LLOYD" that the losses on botn sides
in the Besssrabian battles 80 far eX-
ceed l75,000. or more than the total
British losses in the whole Dardanelles
campaign.
Another Hungarian newspaper states
on the authority o. a staff report that
the fighting on this front has been the
bitterest and bloodiest IN the history
Of the war, both sides sacrificing men
in a manner without parallel.
According to every indication, the
lull in the Russian attack on the Ga
lician front during the last twenty
four hours is only temporary. Despite
the enormous losses, which are esti-
mated as far exceeding $4,000 dead or
wounded, new forces are known 20 be
moving with the purpose o. reinforcing
the attacking columns, snd the re-
sumption Of the bitter assaults OF tho
last few days is hourly expected.
Many Circassian groups are reported
as being sent 20 the front. Captured
Russian officers declare that the Rus
sian Emperor visited Trenbowla, Ga
lcia, on the eve of the offensive, with
the object OF giving heart to his troops.
The main attack thus far has been

British War Secretary told in Athens
made particularly deep impression.
No public account Of the incident had
ever been given.

or, eight German submarines Of the
newest and strongest type went out

the others noscd through and ap-
preached the feet. But there was an
other net heading them or. They tried
to break through, to get around, TO find
an opening. But there was none. Two
more were lost in this effort. Finally
the remainder decided TO return to
their base at Heligoland.
"But they could no longer find tho
way out. The gate in the net had been
closed. Two we're lost desperately
trying 10 get through. The remaining
three finally were forced to come 10
the surface and surrender themselves.
We took them intact-crews, subma-
rines and ALL"
Another declaration OF the British
War Minister. made 10 General Dous-
manis. the chief o. the Greek General

Athens. Suppose the German do con
