Germans Active at Lens.
The Germans have damned the
Souchez River. They have destroyed
every thing that might facilitate the
British advance south of Lens, and
have dotted the ground with huge
mine craters. dangerous pitfalls TO

that the Germans have definitely re-
signed themselves to purely defensive
strategy in the Lens sector; in other

out sooner or later and are trying to
do it later. Haig's next blow Is ex-

NEUTRALs AND BERNsToRFF
WORK TO AVERT WAR
Washington, Feb. 9-In the face
of the German U-bOat campaign a
tremendous sub-surface move to
keep this country at peace is now
proceeding.
With what is believed to be the Sc
cretly tacit but wholly informal sane
ton of this government the move to-
dayshad developed along three lines,
namely:
First, efforts of neutrals - con-
fined now to almost all neutrals, eX-
cepting the United States-tO have a
conference called at Madrid, with a
view to combining the war to its pres
ent limits and if possible to get Sc
cTet or public assurances from Ger
many that, although she does not re-
scind her barred zone" decree, she
will not harm American or other
neutral rights.
Second, an effort by this govern
ment to avoid a break with Austria
by having Austria modify her en-
dOrsement of Germany's undersea
campaign; and,
Third, and last, the expected eff
forts of German Ambassador Won
Bernstorff to preserve peace after he
reaches Berlin, provided, of course,
the covert act' has not been COM
mitted by Germany by that time.
CThis, apparently, is an Independent
move on Bernstorff's part, though it
is admitted it can scarcely fail to
meet with this governments ap-

One report was that the Baltic,

whom were two Americans, had

Liverpool and that the line officials

be varied from one inch to three
inches according to taste. A piece
of satin ribbon or a bit OF silk
should neatly cover the buckram

into a circle. Gently slip this inside
