ANTICIPATE GERMAN DRIVE
TO REACH FRENCH COAS

London, Feb. There appears to be
a growing belief both in Paris and
London that the Germans are
ing to launch some important military
movement on the western front. For
nearly a fortnight increasing German
activity has been reported along this
line.
The Times says today that the pres
sure of events may force the German
staff to stake much to preserve con-
fidence at home and to stiffen the
troops by giving them al allusion Of
victory by a movement and the pos-
sible occupation Of a few line trenches.
There have been several recent in
dications that the enemy's artillery
was firing at various points," says the
Times, "and that it was Intended to
use German infantry to complete some
scheme or other. but for reasons I'M
known they deferred their visit to our
lines"
The Daily Graphic says: Every ar
gument from the enemy standpoint ia
vors a great western offensive. The
sweep through Serbia has released sew
eral hundred thousand men for service
under Germany's direction. For a
month past near Loos, Givenchy and
Armentieres and other points attacks
have been made with the evident OBJ
ject of finding a weak spot. Further
more TIE whole theory of a successful
war, according to the general staff, is
tina the best form of defense is an at
tack. On the political side there is
necessity to convince German and Aus
trian public opinion that something
decisive is near"

QUEER GIFTS TO ROYALTY
Odd Ways in Which People Have
Shown Their Devotion to the Race
That Ruled Them.

New Year in the fifteenth century
was not an occasion which was well
coined without some regrets, for many
We're taxed to meet the requirements
of royalty On that day. Each titled
gentleman had the form and value of
his gift to the king prescribed. Regu-
lations provided that an earl should
appear at the royal presence chamber
at eight o'clock New Year morning
to deliver a five-shilling purse contain.
ing 20-shilling coins to the lord cham,
berlain for the king.
Next the earl visited the jewel-house,
where he received a ticket which en-.
titled him to a gift of 10 shillings 6
pence, the 6 pence of which he was re.
CURED to give for a box for the ticket.
The same morning he went to another
office to select a piece of silver plate
weighing about 80 ounces, but left it
until afternoon, when he returned for
it. At that time he gave the man who
handed it to him 40 shillings in gold,
2 shillings for the box and 6 pence to
the porter.
A young prince ten years old is said
to have given great pleasure to his
father in 1904 by presenting him with
a volume of short Latin poems. There
is a record that in 1910 a dainty little
e~ight-year-old princess, having a spe-
cial liking for sweets, received a New
Year present Of a pair of fat oxen
from the Corporation of Coventry
Exchange.

Milan. Nia London). Feb. S.--The
Secolo's Roumanian correspondent re-
ports a critical situation between Ru-
mania and the central powers, say
ing:
Vienna and the Berlin government
have formally notified the Rumanian
government that they regard eventual
election of two Tranlyvanian irriden-
tism parliamentary candidates at
Galatz and Caracal, and the sale Of
over 80, 900 carloads Of grain to Eng
land as acts hostile to the central
powers, which will take measures ac-
c~ordingly."
The Roumanian government. accord
ing to the correspondent, replied that
the constitution does not permit the
government to thwart the election OF
irridentist candidates. Concerning the
sales of grain. the Rumanian govern
ment answered that this was to safe
guard the economic interests of the
country.
London. Feb. S.-The tension be
tween Rumanla and the central pow
ers appears to be approaching the
breaking point. according TO dispatches

GUNNER TELLS OF
BARAL0NG ATTACK
Britain Says German Subma-
rine Could Have Sunk En-
envy If They Had Stuck
to Their Guns.

London. Feb. S.-The following affi-
davit Of a gunner of the crew of the
British ship, Baralong, which refused
to rescue the crew of a German sub
marine sunk by the Baralong last Au-
the affair the British government has
permitted to be made public:
con August 10, at 2 p. m, we re-
ceived a wireless message from steam
ship Nicosian to say h was being
sending two men flying high into the
air. The next and successive shots all
hit the submarine, which gradually
sunk, everyone of her crew being either
drowned or shot, as only a few parts
OF bodies remained on the surface. The
action lasted four minutes, 80 seconds,
during which time we fired 81 rounds
from the two guns. The submarine
was one of Germany's latest and
largest, being 300 feet long and 1000
tons. She had two guns mounted fore
and aft, of a slightly larger ca1iber
than our own.
Germans Heavier Guns.
We hen took aboard the crew Of
the steamship Nicosian, who numbered
LOT, not one Of whom a been injured
or killed. We afterward went along
side the Nicosian and discovered that
the damage caused by the German
shells was comparatively slight, and
that she could proceed dowly under her
own steam on her original course to
AvOnmouth. Our casualties were nil.
but we We're all absolutely disguised at
the cowacdice displayed by the crew
of the submarine, who were more
heavily armed than ourselves, their
w guns being OF a hevier caliber than
our own, in addition to which they had
several torpedo tubes, whereas we
could only get to bear upon them two
guns. If they had SfIck To tb~r ppDS
they would at least have stood a sport

attack defenseless merchant ships, and

the poop, and at $50 p. N. the marines
took cover behind the bulwarks on the

All Drowned Or Shot.
"A p. M.-'Stand by BY excellent
seamanship our captain brought our
ship upon the starboard side Of the
steamship Nicosian, the submarine be-
ing on the port side, SO that for a few
minutes we were hidden from the sub
marines view. During that short in
terval we had cleared for action and
trained guns outbroad, set sights for
700 yards, and hoisted the White I'm

FOOD c

A prominent physician down III

ence which he makes public:
1T was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food;

scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that this food is a Won
derful rebuilder and restorer of nerve
and brain tissue, as well as muscle. 1t

weight, very rapidly.
Il was in such a low state that
l had to give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains, but two months
there did not improve me; in fact l
vas not quite as well as when l left
home. My food did not sustain me
and it became plain that / must
change.
L began to use Grape-Nuts and in
two weeks l could walk a mile, and in
five weeks returned to my home and
practice, taking up hard work again.
Since that time | have felt as we'll and
strong as l ever did in my life.
AS a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers l consider it a duty to
make these facts public"
