The kaiser, with Prince Henry of Prussia and Admiral von Tirpitz, left Berlin for Wilhelmshaven to di- >ct the blockade. They will go to Helgoland also to direct the Zeppe- lin attacks. It is said Germany plans to conduct an undersea and aerial blockade at the same time in order to terrori England.. In this picture may be seen one of the big Zeppe- lins. There is a Zeppelin station at Wilhelmshaven and a larger one at Helgoland. Arrows indicate where torpedoes are discharged from the submarines. It is reported that the | Germans have built 120 big mine laying submarines in the last six months. Every submarine is able to carry more than 100 mines, placed on the deck so that they may be thrown | quickly. The weight of each mine Is | believed to be about 1,200 pounds. | wards night yesterday, the enemy de- livered his fourth counter attack against the trenches which we took at Les Eparagnes. This attack was beaten back like the three preceding ones, by our artillery. Counter Attacks Futile. “In the Vosges the enemy con- tinued unsuccessfully his counter at- tacks on Hill 607, south of- Lusse. South of La Fecht the enemy suc- ceeded in gaining a footing on the eastern spur. Fighting continues at this point, where we had an ad- vanced post. 'Rain and snow are filling in the Vosges. Austrians Driven Back. Geneva, Via. Paris, Feb. 20, 4:45 a. m.—A- despatch from Cracow says the Russians have begun to bombard Przemysl with new heavy artillery and that they have driven the Aus- trians back along the line of Krosno- Jaslo-Gorlice. The Austrians are re- ported to have suffered heavy losses in the past three days at Wyszkow, nar Dukla Pass. Capture Military Treasury. Amsterdam, Via. London, Feb, 20, 9:20 a.. m.—The Germans operating in i Last Prussia, captured a Russian mill- | tary treasury containing 250,000 | rubles ($125,000), telegraphs the Maasbode’s Berlin correspondent. Allied Ships Damaged. “The hostile armored ships were damaged. One of them, a flagship, was damaged severely.” 5 Another version of the Turkish re- port, as received here from Constan- tinople says that “on the Turkish side one man was killed and another slightly injured.” Capture Hospital C;)rps. Petrograd, Russia, Feb. 20, Via Lon- don, 12:20 p. m.—Reports from Vilna, near the East Prussian ffontier, re- ! ceived by the French hospital at Pet- rograd, tell of the capture by Ger. mans of the French hospital corps. | With the exception of Manager Rich- ard and Dr. Kopp, who were absent from the hospital at the time, the en- tire corps, including Chief Surgeon Cresson, it is said, were taken pri- soners. The corps which had been univer- sally commended for its exceptional service, had been engaged since the beginning of the war in sending fly- ing detachments to the front and had been almost constantly under German fire. On a previous occasion one doctor and several nurses, while bandaging wounded on the field, were surrounded by German cavalry and ordered to surrender, but a detachment of Cos- sacks arrived in time to effect their rescue. Situation in East. Berlin Via London, Feb. 20, 10:50 a. m.—Explaining the situation in the east, Major Moraht, military expert of the Tageblatt, points out that reports from general headquarters show the pursuit of ‘the Russians is proceeding in three directions. The northern- most has resulted in the capture of Taurogen, but not without fighting along the line from Tilsit to Tauro- gen. The Russians, however, soon were forced to retreat again, Major Moraht says, and it appears that no reinforcements have been sent them from Kovno. He continues: “There also has been fighting northwest of Grodno, probably against the fortress garrison sent ahead against the Ger- mans. The situation is just as fa_ vorable in the district of the Narew River, near Lomza, where the Ger- mans are still contending with ap- parently fresh Russian troops from the fortress at Lomza. “This whole movement is the re- sult of 'the Mazurian Lake victory. It was well prepared and splendidly car- ried out to cover the right flank of { the fortified line north of Marsam.” Hopelessness of Allies. Major Moraht declares the western situation shows daily the hopelessness of the allles’ offensive and adds: “Our procedure there stands in a certain degree under the pressure of general conditions. We must like General Lee abandon for the time our bold warfare and restrain ourselves to a steady holding on.” |H. W.
