owned in Hamburg. The Marie Horn,
10SS tons is from Schleswig and the
Heinz Blumberg of 1926 tons is regis
tered from Hamburg.
Since Saturday Il German steamers
Fave sailed from Rotterdam, three at
one time and "A at another. the ass
patch says. OF the first group one, the
Magdalena Blumenthal, 1885 tons gross,
was wreC ked off Zandvoort. OF the sec
ond group. owing to the action of
British destroyers, not one vessel wa
able to proceed, eight being captured
or sunk and three succeeding in put
ting back to Rotterdam. OF the three
remaining steamships. which were
stranded. two were afire.

steamers occurred within Dutch territorial
waters Eye-witnesses are quoted as de-
claring that the steamers were attacked
at least four miles from the coast. The
Dutch naval authorities. it is added are
Investigating.
Inc Amsterdam f1anuleSplad, says
dispatch from that city, takes 1t for
granted that British destroyers fagrant-
" violated Dutch territorial waters" The
violation. it adds. was still worse be
cause the British did not hesitate in its
execution. despite the danger to the in
habitants Of district which might have
been hombarded. The government will not
fail to protest"
The newspaper prints the story Of an
eyewitness of the attack, the manager Of
the local hotel at Bergen-aan-See, who
says a considerable number of destrovers
were firing at the German ships. A num-
her Of shells fell in the neighborhood Of
Bergen. but so far as is known without
iniuring anyone. One shell. according 70
the story, fell in Bergenbigen, a trife in

about the famous hill 304.
Victories are recorded for both sides

destruction of French trenches and in
Champagne north Of Mont Teton,
where the forces Of the Crown Prince
previously had been repulsed with
heavy casualties, and for the French

losses had been extremely heavy. While
the German war office asserts that all
the old German positions were recap

declares that the troops of the Crown
Prince only regained a footing at GER
tain points in the trench elements.
Artillery duels and small operations
carried out by raiding parties continue
to feature the situation on the line
where the British are facing the Ger
mans. Intensive air fighting is still in
progress in this region in the latest of
which six German machines were
driven down and three others forced
down out of control by British airmen,
whose machines all returned from
their fOrays.
The Russians in East Galicia have
been forced for strategic reasons to
eyacuate the town of Kalusz and take
up positions on the southern side of
the Lomnica river The possible cross
ing of the Lomnica was made secure by
the troops of Gen. Brusiloff after they
made their retreat. Previous to retir-

fighting has taken place in this imme-

than that of the United States upon the
exemption from service in European
armies Of Americans in Europe. Many
officials are known to hold the convlc-
ton that to require aliens in the Unit
ed States to serve would be clearly
violation Of international law at least
unless the state department secured
permission from the foreign govern
ments concerned.
Department officials feel that the dis
cussion in Congress if il develops into
action may indefinitely postpone the
raising of the national army. The sug-
Sestion, therefore. has been made TO the
senators interested that the present
draf. be allowed to proceed on the basis
planned and that the question of cor
rections be threshed out between now
and the time Of the next draft.
