ROUMANIAN HARVEST
ENTIRELY EXHAUSTED
OFFICIAL NOTE FROM VIENNA
SHOWS GRAVITY OF FOOD
DIFFICULTY.
Peasants Revolt in Ukraine. So Sc
we're Are Austro-German Demands
Soldiers Held Prisoner.

Washington.-The acquisitions made
by the AustrO-Germans in the Ukraine
are so severe the peasants are res
voting and are holding soldiers as
prisoners. Clashes are taking place
frequently, said a diplomatic dispatch,
and many persons have been killed on
both sides. The dispatch, referring to
the food situation in Austria says:
AN official note published by the
Vienna newspapers shows the gravity
of the food difficulties with which Aus
tria is struggling. This note says that
the stocks supplied by the Rnumanian
harvests are entirely exhausted and
that wheat from the Ukraine can not
be counted Upon before the end of the
month" Under these conditions the
Government must seize the cereal re-
serves left in the hands of the peas
ants for their personal consumption.
The note ends by revealing the anx-
iety which the Austrian Government
is experiencing over the consequences
of a measure which will be very badly
received by the peasants. "The note
says that the Government does not
conceal the gravity of this measure,
but that It hopes the farmers will ac-
cept patriotically the sacrifice demand
ed of them"

RAID OPERATION A SUCCESS
Zeebrue9e, Naval Base of Huns, Com
pIeteIy Wrecked BY British
Naval Forces.

London.-It was learned from high
naval source that the operations at
Zeebrugge were complete success,
with the result that the Flanders flo.
tilla now will be obliged to resort to
the Ostend route in putting to sea-
from which the British forces can
more easily handle the German ships
In addition to the damage done the
Mole and the German guns, material
and shipping. the channel has been
blocked by the cement ships and a
German dredger was destroyed. The
loss of the dredger, together with the
blocking up of the channel, must re-
suit in the speedy sitting up of the
waterway, and it will take at least
several weeks to clear the passage.

STEAMER ST. PAUL
CAREENS AND SINKS
BIG LINER TAKES THREE MEN
TO DEPTHS AFTER BEING RE-
PAIRED FOR VOYAGE.
thrush Of Water Causes Decided List
of Ship at an Atlantic Port as It Is
being Warped at Pier For Loading
Passengers on Passing Vessel De.
clare They Saw Workers Cutting
Holes in Hull With Torches.

An Atlantic Port.-The American
Line steamship, st. Paul, famous
passenger liner, overturned and sank
at it's pier here when being warped
into a berth preparatory to loading
for trip to Europe. Three men prob
ably lost their lives in the accident. At
the time the St. Paul was not under
steam, but was being brought by tugs
from a dry dock where, for the last
week, it had been undergoing repairs.
On the ship at the time were several
hundred men-a majority of them en-
ployes of the dry dock-who had been
sent with the vessel to complete their
work while it was being loaded. The
steamer w is lying on it's port side
with about ten feet of the hull amid
ship above the water and is submerged
completely, both fore and aft.
A statement issued by the company
shortly after the accident occurred
said three men, known to have been
on board, were missing, and it was
feared they had been lost. Whether
it was believed these men were trap
ped below decks as the ship went over,
or were drowned by jumping over
board, could not be ascertained. Per-
sons who saw the st. Paul being warp
ed in said the vessel had a decided
list at the time, indicating that the
thrush of water or shifting of ballast,
whatever the cause, began some time
before it reached the pier. Passengers
on a passing vessel also reported that
they could see men at work on the
exposed part of the hull, cutting holes
through the side with gas flame
torches.
A general alarm was sounded
through the ship when it was seen that
it was in danger, and, as fully 10 min
utes elapsed before it turned over, it
is thought most if not all, the men
reached the decks. A large number of
the men escaped simply by climbing
over the rail and onto the exposed side
while others leaped into the water and
were picked up by tugs. Several pos
sible causes for the accident were ad-
vanced, but owing 10 the uncertainty
surrounding it no definite statement
was given out, and will not be, Off
cials of the line said, until officers of
the navy and Federal officials and rep

Observation-Disclosures by the al.
hes of Ypres and its salient appears
to be inevitable as the result of the
fall of Mount KENNEL The German
army, under Ger reral Sixt Won Arnim,
is driving against Ypres from the
southeast, south and southwest. By
pushing northward between KENNEL
and Locre on the Ypres-Bailleul road
the Germans are threatening the Brit
ish Ypres army in the rear.
Field Marshal Haig admitted that
the allied line had been driven back
in the direction of Locre, which is six
and a half miles southwest of Ypres
and two and a half miles slightly
northwest OF KENNEL. Meanwhile 9th.
er German forces are moving against
Ypres along both sides, have made
progress.
After a defense which will become
one of the heroic chapters of the war,
Mount KENNEL was surrounded and
the French forces entrenChed on it's
slopes were overcome.
The loss of the hill brings to the
allies realization that the whole
Ypres position is in peril from the Ger.
man drive northward from the low
lands lying to the west of Armeatieres.
The, Teutons had launched the ter
rife attacks along the whole Wyt-
Observation-Disclosures line, appar-
emily for the purpose Of finding a point
which might yield.
They evidently found that spot in
the section of the front held jointly by
the British and French troops; and
against it they hurled fresh divisions,
which fought their way forward all
day until nightfall they had surround
ed KENNEL Hill and isolated the
French troops holding the position.
In the neighborhood of La Clytte
and Scherpenberg all the enemy's at
tacks have been held, but, after severe
fighting, in the course of which Sc.
ries of determined attacks were re-
pulsed with heavy losses to his troops,
he succeeded in pressing our line back
in the direction of Locre. On both
sides of the Ypres-Comines Canal, the
enemy also made some progress.
Early in the morning the French
and the British troops attacked the
enemy positions south of the Somme
in the neighborhood of Hangard and
Hangard Wood and have carried their
line forward at certain points by heavy
fighting.
