London, Mar. 1, 5:19 a. m.—The newspapers this morning dwell on the fact that this is the last day for vol- untary enlistment in the British Army and that it is also the first day in what is called the new German sub- marine campaign. Large numbers of | recruits presented themselves during | the last few days at British recruiting | offices, to escape the odium of being | forcibly enrolled under the compulsion | act, but it is remarked that there has | been no overwhelming rush of re- cruits. ‘With regard to the German sub- marine campaign, newspaper edi- torials point out that, while it involves no new principle, the Germans are | unlikely to have made the announce- | ment with such wide publicity unless they believe that they will be able to make a wholesale onslaught on | shipping. The new threat, according- |1y, is not made the object of ridicule, and it is suggested that Germany in all probability has been producing new and more powerful submarines. The editorials, however, agree in declar- ing that an optimistic spirit should be felt and that every confidence ould be placed in the power of the British navy to cope with anj de- velopments at sea.

Thornaby Ts No. 1, London, March 1, 12:06 p. m.—The British steamship Thornaby is report- ed to have been sunk, all the mem- bers of the crew having been Kkilled or drowned. The Thornaby was owned in West Harlepool, Eng. Her gross tonnage wvas 1,782, She sailed on Jan. 19 from Sunderland, Eng., for Palermo, cily. Although the British censorship prevents transmission of details con- cerning the reported sinking of the Thor , the reference to the mem- bers of the crew having probably been killed or drowned indicates she was sunk by a mine or a torpedo. ‘ The German and Austrian decrees regarding the sinking of armed mer- chantmen without warning went into effect at midnight.

The state department was prepared today to take steps to determine what has become of the missing appehdices, which were started in the mails from Berlin nearly three weeks ago.

The text of the communication issued by the war office is as follows: In the region to the north of Verdun, as well as in the there has been nothing of importance to report. “During last night there was an in- termittent bombardment at various Mcuse, points on our front between Regine- viile and Remenauville. “To the west of Pent-A-Mousson our artillery fire was dirscted agair the second nd third of the enemy lines, where the Germans apparently were putting through certain pre- paratory evolutions. “In Alsace the fire of our batter s has been directed aga'mst the rcads of communication of = the cnemy. “In the region of Cernay, Vally of the Thur, a French aeroplane equip- ped with double motors was succes ful in an encounter with an aero- plane of the enemy.
