Russian Armies Il u X
Put Up Sitter Fights !, !,

Teutonic attacks have been checked
and, if not, gains have been materially
nulled by Slavic counter attacks. The
Germans during their most recent Of
fensive on the eastern front have
cleared practically the whole of Galicia
and Bukowina, and have penetrated
Russian soil to the east of the Buko-
wilma frontier.
AS the days go by and the Teutons
continue to press their offensive on the
Rumanian front in the Folkshani region
the conclusion has tRen drawn by al
lied military commentators that Odessa
now Is the goal of the Teutonic armies
1t is believed that If the Teutonic
armies continue to register advances
in Bukowina, the Russians failing to
hoid them within seventy-fve miles of
their present positions. a salient will
nave been driven into the Russo Ru-
manian lines which will prove extreme
ly dangerous to the Russian and Ru-
manian armies fighting in Moldavia
Gen. korniloff, however, is expect ed
to take the situation in hand with dis

period of the next two weeks he will

the whole entente could render yeoman

Description Of
SEEADLER GIVEN

An interesting description Of the
German raider Seeadler, which went
on the rocks at .Mopeha island in the
South Seas, is contained in an issue
of the Army and Navy Journal soma
months back, the description dealing
with the raider as she was known in
the Atlantic. 1t says: .-.." .
Information brought by the French
sailing vessel Cambronne, arriving at
Rio Janeiro, Brazil, on March 80, 1917,
shows, beyond q doubt, that German
commerce destroyer In addition to the
Moewe had managed to gain the high
seas, escaping from Germany via the
Arctic ocean route. The Cambronne
landed at Rio Janeiro 2S3 men and two
women prisoners taken by the COM
merce destroyer in question, the See
adler (Sea Eagle) from allied vessels
captured and destroyed by her in the
South Atlantic, The women we're the
wives of captains of vessels destroyed.
1.-The Seeadler is described as an in.
nocent looking three masted square
rugged sailing ship of about 5000 tons
equipped in addition to hAr sail with

her at IL knots. Her appearance dis.
armed all suspicion and at least eleven
allied merchant ships we're destroyed
by the disguised German raider. The
men of the destroyed ships we're taken
aboard the Seeadler, which also took
such part OF. the cargo as was desired,
The prisoners report that they were
not unkindly treated. v@.-. ~
After the Seeadler became too
crowded with prisoners they we're put
aboard the captured French sailing
ship Cambronne, whose top masts
were cut down and some of her sails
taken away in order that she might
not reach port too quickly to give
news about the Seeadler. The YES
sells captured we're destroyed by
bombs or gunfire.''
This story checks up in detail with
that of Captain Halbor Smith told here
on his arrival from Samoa after eff.
fecting his escape from Mopeha Is.
land. He had cleaned it from the
captain of the Seeadler during the
long weeks after his vessel, the R. C.
Slade, was captured and until the
raider was blown ashore at Mopeha.

ANOTHER union
STEAMER MISSING

Still another Union freighter besides
the Wairuna is reported missing by
the officers of an Oceanic steamer IN
port today. The Wairuna Is the
freighter of which no trace has been
found since she sailed from Sydney
for San Francisco last June. <@.
The second missing treighter is the
Matunga, steamer of about the same
capacity as the Wairuna. She left
Sydney. six or seven weeks after-tthe
departure of the Wairuna and has not
since been reported. H..
Like in the case of the Wairuna 1t
Is undecided whether to ascribe her
supposed loss to the Germans, through
the use of time bombs, operations of
a still unreported German raider in
the Southern Pacific or to the acts of
unloyal Australian laborites.
Since last Christmas the Union
Steamship Co. has lost four or five
vessels. The cause of the destruction
of only one of them has been thor
oughly established. This was a
freighter which had to be abandoned
off the Samoan coast after a time

fuel All the crew Of this vessel was
rescued. .:-s.~
