Heavy fighting continued in Ru-
mania today with the Russo Rumanian
forces there apparently more than
holding their own. Berlin announced
the repulse of Russian attacks north
Of the Suchitza valley.
In the west British troops advanced
near Beaucourt Sur Ancre, on the

There are outstanding indications of
coming activity in Alsace. Swiss
newspapers report the concentration of
large masses of German troops oppo-
site Basel, near where the fighting line
touches the Swiss frontier, saying 1t
is believed in Switzerland the Germans
contemplate taking the offensive in
Alsace in the near future. The Swiss
federal council has ordered the mob
ilization of additional troops as a pre-
caution against neutrality violations.
Both Germany and France recently as
sured the Swiss government of their
intention to continue respecting that
ration's neutrality but the mobilization
of Swiss troops will proceed as though
these assurances had not been prof
fered.
Nothing further is known regarding
the whereabouts of the German sea
raider, which is wreaking such havoc

lantic The arrival of the captured
British steamer Yarrowdale at the Cape

comparatively new to these parts, and
even where an old song was heard it
pleased the ear to have it handled by
such artists.

heard many folks say they would have

We hope DeRue's minstrels can be
booked this way again, although we
don't suppose they are very jubilant
over their reception here. At times it
was hard for the troupe to gain the
attention of he audience, because of
various lines of argument under way
among the spectators. C. w.

GERMAN RAIDER
HAS ARMED TWO
CAPTURED BOATS

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Apprehension
ir marine circles was increased today
by reports that the German sea raider
in the Atlantic had armed at least two
of the captured vessels, and that In
stead of one there are now three of
the raiders preying on Entente COM
merce.
Most reliable information indicates
the ST. Theodore and Yarrowdale, are
the two vessels armed by the raider,
both being well suited to operate as
privateers. The mysterious raider
is now believed to be the famous sea
rover raider, the exploits of which at
tracted great attention earlier in the
war.
Eleven Entente warships are known
to be hurrying into the South Atlantic
t. reinforce naval forces already in
those waters, while unconfirmed re-
ports placed the raider cruising con-
siderably north of the Ireland to Bra
I'll steamship route.
