Win
Key to Lens
Germans Swept from De-
fences on Two-Mile Front
to Depth Of Mile-Hostile
Line Endangered

LONDON, Aug. 15.-Canadian troops
at dawn to-day won victory on a
two-mile front between Loos and Lens,
in Artois, comparable with and supple
mcntary to the stoTming of Vimy
Ridge. After heavy artillery prepara-
tion they sprang forward and followed
the barrage OF their batteries up and
over the famous Hill 70, the bastion of
the whole German defence system in
this section, penetrating the German
lines TO an extreme depth of 1900
yards, and encirclirg st. Emelie and
st. Laurent, the northern suburbs of
Lens. At last reports the Canadians
were fighting in the western part of
Lens itself, after an advance timed
with that on the north.
The first part of their advance was
accomplished with little opposition,
British shells having battered the Ger
man trenches beyond the possibility
of defence. But as they pushed deeper
into enemy territory the resistance be-
came furious, though futile.
The German positions were strength
ened by every device known to modern
warfare and the enemy considered them
impregnable. But the Canadian wave
carried the whole of the first line

trenches in the first rush and drove for
ward to an average depth Of mile
along the whole front OF attack.
The German counter attacks were
promptly organized and hve were
courageously delivered during the day,
though they resulted in nothing save
casualties among the hostile troops.
On the other hand, the British night
Official statement asserts that the Brit
ish casualties were slight and that all
cbjectives were won and maintained in
a rainstorm. These include the intri-
cate trench system around Hill 20, the
villages of Cite St. Laurent. Cite st.
Elizabeth and Cite ST. Emelie; the Base
wood and half of the Hugo wood,
spreading over both sides Of the road
from Loos 70 Hulluch, which formed the
northern flank Of the attack. Up to
this afternoon 2S2 German prisoners,
including 10 officers, had reached the
concentration cages.
The only German official reference
20 the battle is mention OF increased
artillery fire and statement that in
fantry fighting is In progress.
The first effect of to-day's success, IL
maintained in it's entirety, will be TO
doom further German occupation Of
the great French coal centre. Under
British guns on Hill TO- which dom
mates the country for miles around,
Lens would become merely a death
trap, and 70 cling to it would entail a
general sacrifice OF life without COM
pensation. The Canadians have now
pocketed Lens from three sides, hav-
ing erept up persistently on the west
and south for several weeks past.
The conquest of Hill 20, which is the
last bit Of important high ground in
Artois which the Germans still hold,
shakes the whole enemy line south TO
Oueant and north to La Bassee. Hin
denburgs secondary zone OF defence,
known as the Wotan line, has its north
ern junction with the old line at An
nav Just northeast Of Hill 10. which
was the outer bulwsrk for the rest OF
the protective system. Experts here
are wondering IL the stormlng OF Hill

sector By which the German lines be
tween Lens and Armentieres might be
crushed in.

composed of delegations of eleven
trusted men from each battalion of the
Tsarskoe- -Selo garrisons. An hour after
the train arrived Nicholas appeared on
the steps of the palace, dressed in a
colonePs uniform, with khaki blouse
and with no decorations. Without lift
ing his eyes from the ground he entered
an automobile, accompanied by Prince
Dolgoroukoff and Count Benckendorff,
former Court Marshal. who thus far
have shared the captivity of the fallen
ruler.
Empress Alexandra, who was accom-
panied by Countess Naryshkin. her
close friend and former Lady of the
with their maids of honor, and finally
by Alexis, former heir TO the throne, at
whose side was the gigantic sailor
"Derevenko." the protector of Alexis
since his birth and his constant COM
psnion and playmate.
To keep the departure secret as long
as possible the train was not drawn up
to the station platform. but was kept on
side track some distance away, to
which Nicholas and his party went. The
public was unaware of the transfer un-
til late at night. To keep up the fiction
that Nicholas was still in the palace the
guards were retained around the park
and special vigilance was shown in
keeping the people away.
Many rumors are current in regard
to the motives for the removal of the
imperial family and as to its des-
tination. The semi-official news agency
says the demands for Nicholas's trans
fer were due to fears of the authorities
that attempts would be made to liber-
ate him in connection with a counter
revolutionary movement.

Former Gar

Deposed Emperors Family
and Retinue Accompany
Him from Tsarskoe-Selo
in an Ordinary Train

PETRoGRAD, Aug. l5.-Former En-
peror Nicholas and his family are be-
ing transferred to another point They
were removed from the capital in an
ordinary train instead OF in the gor-
geous imperial train on which Nicholas
was brought 20 the palace.
The semi official Russian news agency
in announcing that the former Emperor
and his family were removed from the
palace at Tsarskoe-Selo, said that it
was reported they were being trans
ported to Tobolsk. Siberia.
The Provisional Government formally
refused to reveal the destination of
the former imperial family.
A second train following that carry
ing the ex-Czar was assigned to take
the baggage and the servants. fifty Of
whom accompanied the ex-Emperor and
his family into exile.
Nicholas was very depressed in ap-
pearance, but ex-Empress Alexandra,
who was seen walking for the first time
in months, seemed lively and pleased
at the prospect of a change IN sur
roundings.
In view Of the need for special pre-
cautions, the guard on the route from
the palace TO the railroad station was

Deutschland Armed
To War in Pacific

COPENHAGEN. Aug. l5.-The Ger
man commercial submarine Deutsch-
land, which visited the United States
before that country entered the war,
has been converted into war sub
marine, according to German feet gos-
sip reaching The Associated Press.

of action and has been fitted with six

man feet, have been twenty to twenty

u. S. May Go to Aid
Of Swiss Newspaper

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The State
Department began an investigation
of the incident Of the "Freie Zeitung,'
a Swiss newspaper published in Ger
man, which was rsided by the Swiss
police. and is believed to have been
compelled TO suspend publication on
account OF its alleged unneutrality.
The State Department has been ir.-
formed that the German Legation at
Berne complained to the Swiss authori-
ties of the publications in the "Free
Zeitung." which, following the Maxi
milan Harden attitude toward the
war. supported the policies of President
Wilson and the course of the United
States and condemned the German
practices.
II is believed that the State Depart
ment. after securing complete re-
port of the incident and official infor-
nation that il was the act OF the Swiss
government, will make representations
10 tho Swiss Foreign Office. as the
opinion prevails here that the Swiss
action might Of itself constitute an
unneutral act.

Only Is British Ships
Sunk in Last Week
Loss Is Smallest Reported for
Any Week Since
April

LONDON, Aug. 15.-German U-boats
and mines sank fewer Pritish merchant
vessels last week than at any time
since the week ended March 10, ac-
cording to the Official figures on ship
ping losses issued by the Admiralty to-
day. Fourteen vessels of more than
800 tons were sunk, as against TWEEN
ty-one for the week previous. and two
vessels Of less than that tonnage were
destroyed, the same number reported
for the week previous. Three fishing
craft fell victims last week.
Though the loss last week shows a
falling off from the destruction Of the
week before, the difference is not great
CROUCH to indicate any special check
upon Germany's underwater attack.
The record for July shows two weeks,
in each of which only fourteen large
ships were sunk, though the toll OF
smaller vessels was somewhat higher
than that of last week. II is still too
early to tell whether the average loss
for August will be greater or less than
that of preceding months. All that can
be definitely said is that the destruc-
tiveness of the submarine has gradual
ly lessened since the period of greatest
efficiency, in April.
Any one of several causes may ex-
plain a drop in losses for one partc-
ular week. The submersible feet may
have been recalled to reft or for q new
supply of torpedoes, or the Allied pa
troll may have been little more vigi-
liant. 1t is possible that the sinking of
fourteen large ships this week may rep
resent as great loss in tonnage as the
destruction of twenty-one during the
week previous.
