There are many customs which still
proclaim the ancient rule ana infiu-
ence Of Rome that have persisted
through the centuries since the de-
prrttre Of her glory. For Instance,
there is the old Pyrrhic dance, the
robes with bells on sleeves and girdles.
The Roumanians still shout IN unison
to prevent Saturn from hearing the
voice OF the infant Jupiter; and even
their oxen proclaim the glory that
was Rome" in their names, for here
you may see Caesar and Brutus as
yoke fellows, and there Cassius and
Augustus.

GERMAN CLAIMS A
TOLL OF BOATS NOW

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-(Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables received during the day.)-The
German admiralty announced today the
sinking of a British transport by the
submarine U-19, but gave no details.
Lloyds' shipping agency reported the
summarizing of the British steamers
Aries and Sea Gull, the crews OF
both vessels having been landed. The
sinking of the Cunard liner Laconia,
off Fastnet Rock continued to attract
attention, with most of those on board
accounted for.
Berlin reports that British attacks
near Ypres and on the Somme from,
were repulsed, while the British sue
ceeded in entering the German lines
east of Arras. Subsequently, however,
they were driven out of these new po-
sition by German machine gun fire.
According to last accounts received
here the British advance was within
three miles of Baupame, an import
ant railroad center and German
stronghold on the Somme front. Enc
my possession of this point has ena-
bled the Germans to shift troops from
point to point along the French front
quickly heretofore, and its loss would
likely prove serious at this time when
a general Entente offensive is believed
to be in course of beginning.
In Mesopotamia, British troops have
passed -El-Amara and continue
pursuing the Turks in the direction of
Bagdad.
