Prisoners Lose Protectors.

AS to prisoners the United States
represents the interests of at least
100000 and probably 100000 men
in countries from which the withdraw
al OF American diplomats has been
forced. Often it has been only such
officials who have stood between these
helpless unfOrtunates, unbefriended
in the midst of an enemy country, and
threatened with reprisals, intOlerable
prison conditions, inadequate food and
even epidemicS of disease. American
officials have been untiring in their eff
forts under conditions almost intOler-
ably difficult
Germany's interests in seven cOun,
tries and the large sections of Egypt
and Morocco have been turned away
from American sympathy and aid to
whatever neutral Germany can find
to accept work. The state depart
ment instructed it's officials represent
ing German interests in England
France, Russia and Japan, Roumania
Serbia, Greece, Egypt and Morocco to
suspend all activities along that line
and await information to be conveyed
through some neutral government to
whom Germany wishes those interests
surrendered.

RELIEF WORK OF
U. S. MAY HALT
EFFORTS TO AID SELGiANS
THREATENED BY BREAK
WITH GERMANY.

An entire diplomatic structure to
project probably two million prisoners
in the midst of their enemies, to care
for whole conquered nation in Bel
GUM, to represent the interests of four
sovereign states in Germany and Ger
man interests in nine enemy countries,
crumbled when diplomatic relations
between Germany and the United
States were severed.
One of the most complex, ultra legal
humanitarian machines ever evolved,
the slow, patient work built up during
two and half years of effort, thus is
sacrificed
American organization and genius
and American means of restraint in
the war zones will cease to operate.
All American representatives will be
withdrawn from Germany and the du-
ties they have performed will fall on
unframed forces.
From Belgium the United States will
not withdraw till it is impossible for
her to continue. The 100 Americans
who have from the wars beginning
proved the directing genius for the
greatest and longest sustained relief
work in history will remain at their
posts unless they are forced to cross
the frontier.
Belgian relief ships will continue to
run for the present, it is understood,
and every attempt made to secure their
immunity from German attack.

THE EMBARGO

Slowly surely the United States is taking steps win the
war; bad that found ourselves unpaed when war
was declared but can't be helped and the only thing left to
do speed up work along all lines and do the best
ship building campaign has been held up longer than
should and only few hundred ships have
been ordered about enough feed the German submarines for
couple weeks very evident that must find other and
quicker ways of beating the Uboats.
President Wilson has taken action that should bring relief to
quite an extent His determination to place embargo all food
u and other badly needed articles to neutral countries
long step in right direction and if it succeeds in stopping Ger
many from receiving foodsus through those neutral countries
will do as offset the submarine warfare the ship building
program and quicker In fact should make difference at
once.
The suggestion made yesterday to the Associated Press by A
gust Cufei member of the Italian Commission might be acted

LAYING idle and suggested that should be devised to put
this shipping work He also suggested that this country should
refuse coal to neutral ships that refused accept through
the danger one If this done might be possible to buy
of these ships put them work carrying supplies

Even the ships much than they would ordinarily be
worth would be cheaper for this buy them than to

kALUSZ FALLS AFTER BLOODY
BATTLE WAGED

General Brussiloff's offensive in
Galicia is developing into a drive with
little or no let-up, at least so far as
he part in it played by General
Kornloff's armies is concerned.
Yesterdays news of the capture OF
Halicz was followed today by the an
nouncement that General Korniloffs
troops had pushed on beyond Lesiuv-
ka, southwest of Stanislau, and reach
ed Kalusz, a city of 5000 population
seven miles to the west Of Stoka riv-
err. The Austro-German headquarters
in this sector was situated here.
Kalusz was stubbornly defended, but
after sanguinary battle the Russians
pushed into the town andA according
to advices from Petrograd, they were
continuing their advance after having
taken large number of prisoners.
The German attack on Monday on
the Belgian coast ceased with the cap
ture of the small sector east of the
User, which the Germans had deyas-
tated with intensive gunfire.
The Casualties
According to figures given today by
Gen. +. B. Mauriel, Chief Director of
Military Operations at the London
War Office, the total British casual
ties resulting from the German sue
cess we're about 1900, including pris-
oners. The section captured by the
Germans, said General Maurice, who
made his statement in his weekly talk
to the Associated Press, was defended
by only two battalions Of British. The
German claim of 1880 prisoners he
considered probably accurate.
Neither last nights nor today's Brit
ish official announcement records any
further fighting of any moment in this
region, although the artiller is con-
tinuing active. A German raid near
Lombaertzyde was driven off by the
British.
On the Verdun front the German
Crown Prince made number of at
tacks on both banks Of the Mouse. All
.hese assaults, delivered in the vicin-
ty of Hill 304, on the one side of the
stream, and north of the Hardaumont
work on the other, were repulsed by
he French, as were attacks on the
Aisne front, south Of Juvincourt, and
n the region Of the Trianguliate
Plateau.
