the enemy. :

( MONDAY, FEB. 18

Berne: Buda-~- Pesth papers
condemn submarine warfare, and
attack Count von Reventlow, the
principal exponent of the under-
sea campaign,demanding that he
be placed under restraint. A
Socialist organ attacks Von Tir-
pitz and demands the cessation
of murder at sea, A member of
the chamber of deputies says:
“We have made the whole world
‘turn against us; all American
countries are joining our enemies,
This is sheer madness.’’

London: British troops cap-
tured positions on a frorit of one
and a half miles, penetrating the
German defences for a distance
of one thousand yards. This
gain brings our lines within clase
range of Petit Miraumont, which:
lies northeast of Grandecourt, on
the Ancre front.

On the Tigris front in Mesopo-
tamia British troops have forced
the enemy back upon the river,

_taking 8)0 yards of trenches and
capturing 2000 Turks. Many
officers are among the prisoners.
A large quantity. of munitions
fell inte our hands. Half-hearted
counter-attacks were easily re-
pulsed,

London: Speaking at Bolton,
Earl Derby’ said the end of the
war wag not yet near, and the
Empire would require still graver
sacrifices, He warned the coun-
try that the war would be long
continued and the struggle more
bitter than in the past. The na-
tion bas money and munitions,
but more men are wanted. The
struggle can only be won by.
everyone doing his utmost. ~~.

Hon. Arthur Henderson says
' confidence was never so high. He
predicts thet the Allies will strike’
a blow next summer on the wesk
front that will ensure an entirely
satisfactory ending to the war.

Paris: There was intermittent
ecannonading along the greater
part of the French front. An en-
emy attack at Bezon Vaux failed,

Amsterdam: "U.S. consuls are
detained in Germany, and may
not be able to leave for weeks,

_ Adolf Hoffman, Socialist,speak- |

ing in the Prussian diet, said the
people are starving and freezing,
They had been deprived of their
rights and ill-treated by thelpolice,
The food regulations had failed.

New York: Six steamers sail
for European ports today, includ-
ing the big Holland-America liner
Noordam: Nonecarry passengers.

men, money, and munitions to
wage a successful final-drive.

British loan subscriptions ex-

ceed $3,500,000, 000,

London: The failure of the
submarine ‘blockade’ is shown by
the increase in British imports of
wheat and corn. . Since the pres-
ent undersea campsign started
these imports have been greater
than for any similar period.

The sinking of two British and
two neutral steamers is reported.
