PRISONERS HELD

MOSCOW.-Advices received in
this city today indicate that, owing
to serious differences that have
arisen between the Germans and Rus
sian authorities regarding the ex-
change of war prisoners, the Rus
slams have issued orders to stop the
repatriation of all Germans who are
fit for military service. This order
goes into effect imediately.
The agreement was arrived at
after much parleying, but in giving
effect to the terms of the agree
ment Germany has shown a strong
tendency to act in bad faith, which
called for the drastic order issued
by the Russian war office.

Minister of Finance Warn People
That Situation Has Reached
Serious Stage.

NEW YORK-Announcement that
there would be a deficit of several
hundred million marks in the Prus-
sian budget for 1916 was made in
the Prussian House of Deputies re-
Gently by Minister of Finance Hertz,
according to the Cologne Gazette.
"Our people must fully realize
the seriousness of the situation" he
said. "The restoration of the rail-
roads will cost billions. Canal pro-

involve billions. / will not indulge
in absurdities. Tax rates of so per

slider tax rates Of 20 per cent to IS

He said that talk that incomes
would be taxed IS per cent had
caused great alarm through the
the country and that he deemed such
rates as absurd.

The rebellion is reported to be

ROME.-Official reports received
today by the Italian headquarters
staff definitely confirm all previous
reports received to the effect that
the heroic defense put UP by the
Italian army, coupled with the brill
liantly conducted counter attacks
which were successfully undertaken
with the assistance of the French
and British reinforcements, have
completely broken the Austrian of
fensive all along the battle line, ex-
tending from the Asiago Plateau to
the sea.
On the Montello sector the vicious
attacks of the enemy were repulsed ;
the Austrians being hurled back with
heavy losses, the Italians here in

taken to forty thousand. A previous
statement issued by the Italian war

SUMMARY

Associated Press Summary-The
first phase of the big offensive un-
dertaken by the Austrian forces
against the Italian army assisted by
the French and British reinforce
ments, on a ninety mile front, may
be said to have come to an end.
The Austrians have been most eff
fectualy blocked in their advance,
which has cost them dearly with
no detectives gained, and the Italian
battle line holding firmly on all
fronts. :-.. ..". .-...
The Austrian advance which took
a large part of their forces across
the Piave river in an attempt to
reach the Venetian plains has been
so effectively checked as to render
the position of the sixty thousand
Austrians now across the Pave un-
tenable. Communications have been
cut off and it is hourly expected
that this force will be compelled to
surrender to the advancing Italian
divisions. The water in the Piave
is still rising, some bridges have been
carried away, while those remaining
intact have been blown to pieces by
the Italian artillery and airmen. The
Austrians are short of food and am
munition and are unable to replenish
their much depleted stocks owing
to the fact that the Italian batteries
command the river approaches to the
rear of the enemy and are sinking
every boat within range of their
guns, which are also hammering
away at the damaged bridges and
floats.

entirely disappeared from view 1t is
hidden by the fresh shoots coming up
from the bottom. 1t takes from 10
to $50 days for the kelp 10 grow from
the "holdfast' 10 the surface. The
best growing periods are from July to
September, and from January to
April.
The ability of the cells of this plant
to absorb dissolved potash from the
sea water is Il remarkable example
of selective action, exercised as for
special purpose. Thus Mr.. Porteous
points out that while the water sur
rounding the kelp contains in solu-
tion three per cent. of chloride of
sodium, |. e., common salt, and only
four one-hundredths of one per cent
of potash, yet inside the cell these
proportions are so altered by ad-
mitting potash and rejecting sodium
that the percentage of the former has
increased to one and eight one
hundredths, while that of the latter
has decreased to only six-tenths of
one per cent.
A similar selection is shown in
favor of iodine, for although the sea
water contains so little of that sub
stance in solution that there is only
one part of iodine in thirty million
parts of water, yet the kelp cells
manage to absorbe three one-hundred-
this of one per cent. of their weight of
iodine.
