BRITISH SUCCESSES GREAT.
Germans Apparently Prepared to Evac.
uate Bapaume and Peronne.

Paris, March 14-.Great importance
is attached to the British successes on
the Somme. The Matin says it looks
very much like the Germans did not
think they could hold Bapaume and Pc
evacuate the two cities.
Reports from aviators show that all
along their lines the Germans are
blowing up bridges and culverts. trying
to mask the withdrawal Of heavy guns
by heavy firing with field guns.
German staff headquarters on the
somme front is said to have been
moved back ten miles. The Matin
thinks the German staff at first plan
ned a strategic retreat so as to delay
the British plan OF attack, but that this
scheme was frustrated by the tactics
Of Cough. Instead of using cavalry
against his retreatinE foe General
Cough maintained contact by the
methodical and destructive use of ar
tillery.
The result, according to the Matin,
was that the Germans were caught In
their own trap, and their retreat, which
at first was Intentional. Decane almost
q rout under the continuous pressure OF
an adversary superior in material and
initiative.
General Cough, who Is mentioned in
the Paris newspapers as the field COM
mander In the British operations
against Bapaume. is presumably Major

mander Third cavalry brigade. General
Cough Is an Irishman and prior to the

nence as one OF the officers who threat

Washington, March 14.-In the abb
sence Of official dispatches on the de-
struction Of the steamer Algonquin Of
ficials withheld comment, but the un-
official view was that nothing m the
incident changes tine situation between
the United States and Germany.
President Wilson already has taken
steps TO place the nation in state Of
armed neutrality, which with the
breaking or OF diplomatic relations
with Germany Is practically the last
possible measure short Of war.
N American ships now are being armed
to defend themselves against subma-
rine attack. The general view today is
that the arming Of ships is the only an
swer short Of war to the submarine
warfare. r is5Fsy 8

icontraband foodstuffs ana that she re-
Gently was transferred from British
to American registry are taken to
outweigh the fact that the ship was re-
