AMERICANS SEIZURE
MAY RAISE ISSUE
Germans Said to Have Mis-
treated POlak.
rBy Cable to The Tribune.

London. Sept. 25.-There were indica-
tions to-day that the SEIZURE OF tne
D,tcb steamer Prins Hendrix might
raise an issue between America ana
Germany. Consul General skinner
cabled a full account of the proceed
inqs to-day to the State Department AT
Washington, from which it appears
that the Germans boarded the boat
armed with practically complete list
Of descriptions Of the passengers
aboard.
II. c. Hoover was told Immediately
that he was not wanted and was re-
ouested TO go below. Isador Polak, a
wealthy American diamond merchant,
however, was roughly seized and pulled
over the side while still waving his
passport and protesting his American
citizenship. So far as it is able to be
gathered, the only point against Polak
lies in the fact that he has spent some
time since the outbreak OF the war IN
Brussels, where he has home. 1t is
rumored that he helped the cause Of
the Belgians against the Germans, but
there is not the slightest tangible evil
dence Of this.
Mrs Polak, who IS now in London,
requested the American Consulate Off
Gals to-day to make every effort 70 OBJ
tain her husbands release. Ambassa-
dor Gerard, at Berlin, has been notified
OF the Americans plight.
Berlin, Sept. % (by wireless to Say
vile, n. Y.-According TO an Overseas
News Agency announcement to-day re-
porting the seizure yesterday OF the
Dutch steamer Batayier III BY a German
submarine, the vessel carried contra
band. 1t is also declared that among
the passengers were four Russians,
who apparently had escaped from a
prison camp.

RUSSIANS ATTACK
ON WHOLE FRONT
Aim TO FOrestall German
Offensive in the
East.

Petrograd. Sept. 25.-Although the
official communications have shed lit
tie light on recent Developments in the
war situation, it is learned from staff
officers that after a long lull the bat
ties at all important points on General
Brussilof's front are again assuming
the intensity which characterized the
first period Of his advance.
The principal centres of action are
the districts near Vladimir-NolynsH
and west Of Lutsk, the Halicz region
and the Csrpathisns. and in each OF
these territories there has been gen
eral resumption OF the fighting, which
has spread to adjacent sectors until
the whole southwestern war theatre,
from the Pripet marshes to the
Danube, may be said to be again in ac-
ton. The nature of this action, how
ever, has undergone conspicuous
change since the first smashing blows
in Brussiloff's campaign.
Although the Russians still claim the
initiative, it is evident that the German
counter attacks are becoming constant
ly more frequent and more vigorous,
and in the large numbers of reinforce
ments sent to these regions from other
fronts, as we'll as the more aggressive
character of the German fighting, there
are signs that Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg, the new chief Of staff, is plan
ming a new campaign to recover the old
positions before winter sets in.
To meet this the Russians have al
ready begun a fresh offensive, the de-
tails of which have not yet been an
nounced, but which has been under
taken on large scale, with the object
of making a desperate effort to pierce
the Austro.German fronts before the
fall campaign is over.
Berlin. Sept. 25.-The following Of
/ fetal account Of operations on the
Eastern front was issued to-day:
/ "Army group of Prince Leopold: The
/ position near Manajow, which was re-
/ CAPTURED on Saturday in counter-at-
tack, was maintained against repeated
and strong assaults of the Russians.
"Army group of Archduke Charles
Francis: Between the Zlots Lipa and
the Narayuvka the Russians made
fruitless attacks on the positions held
by Turkish troops. Detachments Of the
enemy which penetrated Turkish posi-
tions were driven out by eounter-at-
tack and l42 prisoners were taken. In
the Ludowa sector, Carpathians, at
tacks by the Russians were repulsed.'
