LIFEBELTS ROTTEN;
CREW INEFFICIENT

Dover, March 29.-Some severe
criticism Of the lifebelts ON the cross
channel steamer Sussex and of the
conduct Of some of the crew of the
vessel was made by G. T. Crocker an
American survivor at the inquest over
the bodies Of two men and a woman
who lost their lives as a result of the
explosion which damaged the steamer
Mr.. Crocker said that after the eX-
plosion there seemed to be a panic.
but that 1t quieted down in quarter
of an hour. He saw some people try
ing to put on lifebelts, but the tapes
broke, as they were absolutely rotten
He put belts on two women and the
same thing happened.
After the explosion, Mr. Crocker
testified, he saw one boat hanging
from a broken rope and people in the
water. One end of the boat was hang
ing In the air and the other just touch
ing the water The crew, he said,
did not appear very efficient and some
were under the influence Of liquor.

TO AVOID RETREAT

Berlin, March 29.-Bent on saving
themselves from a forced retreat on a
front of more than 100 miles the Rus
slams are renewing their attacks
against Won Hndenburgs armies
with great fury.
The Slavs have suffered no greater
losses since the memorable retreat
from the Dunajec began nearly a year
ago. But German officers pointed out
that it is absolutely necessary for
General Kuropatkin to continue the
attacks, or else be defeated.
During Won Hindenburgs great of
fensive last year he drove the Russian
line down the northern and eastern
slopes of the rise of land, extending in
curve from Riga to south of Dvinsk.

that nature would come to his aid in
spring
Within a few weeks the spring thaw
will set in in the northern country
The Russian trenches in the lowlands
will be flooded and it will be neces-
sary to withdraw the whole Slav line
The Germans will suffer from the
floods, but will not be forced to give
ground to any considerable extent
The Russians are wasting ammuni-
ton extravagantly in an effort to
seize positions on higher ground be-
fore the spring freshets begin.
