SMALL ''DR|F TERI CREWS SHOW GREAT
 HER0|SM IN FIGHTS
Details Are Given of How the German Destroyers Dashed Abong Channel
 Patrols in Darkness

Dover, February 16.-The weather was thick and the night was very dark when inc German destroyers dashed upon British patrol vessels In the Strait Of Dover early Friday morning and sank eight of them The patrol vessels being equipped only with light armament for anti-submarine work, did not have a chance once the Germans got among them.
 The risk thus taken is shared by great numbers of trawlers and drifters, oper- ating in all weather and at all hours. Yet the proportion of losses has been remarkably small
 On the latest occasion the crews bore themselves with the same coolness and courage that driftermen have shown in innumerable instances. In one note- worthy incident a drifter was shelled at close quarters by two German destroy CTS. whose 3O-pound shells killed all of the crew except two and set the drificr afire. The two survivors, seeing their craft ablaze and believing 1t would sink, launched a boat They had not rowcd far away when they saw the vessel was still afloat and the enemy retiring. They returned, put out the fire. and brought the drifter to port.

for the moment of passing beyond
 tho stage of raids and sporadic bonn
 bardments and entering into one of
 major operations by the millions of
 men massed for attack and defense,
 there has been a development of
 marked importance regarding the high
 command of the forces on the entente
 side of the battle line.
 Thus, London advices announcing
 the retirement of Gen. Sir William
 Robertson as chief of the British fm-
 perial staff and his replacement by
 Mai Gen. Sir Henry Hughes Wilson apparently indicate that something
 approaching an allied general staff
 was created by the supreme war coun- cil in It's recent session at Versailles. General Robertson, it is revealed.
 would not consent to take General Will
 sons place as British military repre- sentative on the supreme war council nor remain chief of staff with linn ited power" the inference being that some higher authority has been set up. LLOYD GEORGE BOLD
 Premier Lloyd George, with the in- dcrsement of Parliament that he re- ceived the other day to back him, it would appear, has grappled with the British military situation boldly and made it conform with the view so many have held and which apparent " was indorsed by the Versailles coun- ell. that there should be a unified control of the allied armies. General Robinson seemingly was not willing to fit into the plan. so without any question having been raised as to his ability, he has had to step down and ! make way for another.
 Following up their destroyer raid in the Straits or Dover Friday in which they wiped out several British patrolling craft the Germans sent one of their submarines into the port ol Dover in the darkness of the early
 morning hours Saturday. The U-boai threw a few rounds of shells into the city and retired when subjected to the Ire of the shore batteries after inflict- ! ing small damage to residence prop erty and causinx few casualties ! among civilisns

 Even the very weapon which Ger many and Austria were at such pains to forge in the hope of. deriving mili- tary benefit-the Polish army-bids fair to be turned against them. ke-' ports in the German newspapers, which express dismay and alarm over the Polish situation, indicate that the Poi- ish legions, now an effective military fierce. are on the side of the prevalent Polish sentiment of bitterness against the central powers. The situation has grown so serious that the military are patrolling the streets in Warsaw.
 DUAL MONARCHY INVOLVED
 Austria Hungary is particularly in yolved in the difficulties because of the prominent part which it was ex- pected she would play in the future government of Poland. The Polish ele- ments and those sympathizing with them in the dual monarchy are up in arms over the situation and further internal troubles are threatened
 Turning to the north. it already has been reported that Germany purposes resuming military operations against northern Russia. and this report gains color by the announcement that the commissioners representing the central powers at Petrograd have left the Rus sian capital and passed within the German military lines. The probable German purpose to attack the bol- sheviki is also indicated in a Vienna dispatch declaring that if Germany decided to resume military operations against Russia the attitude of Aus tria" would not be influenced there by. This would seem to mean that Austria intends to leave Germany to fight the battle alone in north Rus sia Whether she hopes to keep up connections with the Petrograd gov ernment meanwhile is not clear, but Sofia dispatches declare that Bulgaria Is doing that very thing. having 're- sumed diplomatic relations with Rus s.a." However, all the central powers arc in. agreement oves the situation, 1t ia declared
