WASHINGTON; ‘Feb. %4.—Super- vision by the United States of the distHfhution of “American foodstuffs shifibed ‘into Germany is the basie of the Washington Government's latest proposal for an agreement on the war sone situation. This information came from the highest authority here to-day. Stirred by the report of the Ameri- can steamship Carib’s destruction by ® War sone mine, the Administration was bending every effort to hurry acceptance of the agreement and pre- vent further disasters to American shipping. ‘The food supervision idea was orig- inally advanced by the German Gov- ernment in its first correspondence with the United States on the war Zone proposition. It is proposed that the United States have its consuls in- spect food distribution, certifying that the consignments go to civilians alone, and are not ultimately destined for military purposes. One of yesterday's notes, it is un- derstood, tells Germany such a pli 1s being considered here, while the other informs Great Britain that we will enter into auch an arrangement if it is acceptable to her. BERLIN, Feb, 24—James W. Ger- ard, the American Ambassador to Ger- many, has already presented to the Foreign Office the American note which embodies the American propos- als for the settlement of the situation arising from the British embargo on foodstuffs into Germany and the Ger- man warfare against British mercan- tile abipping. ‘ It is understood that proposals submitted simultaneously in London. No statement regarding the nature of these proposals or the German at- titude on them can be obtained here, but it is beleved that there is at least | ® prospect of thelr acceptance by Ger- many.

There .the Russians made @ final stand. The city was defended by the Third Siberian Corps, reputed to be the best fighters in the Russian army. The stand they made at Lyck did honor to their fame as soldiers. The city was taken by storm only after the Germans had @uffered heavy losses. But the brilliant defense of the Siberians enabled part of the Cear’s beaten armies to escape over two roads leading out of Prussia, through the swamps to Auguatof and Suwalki. ‘ While this onslaught was ia prog- ress the Kaiser's northern army, forming thé German left wing, was advancing by forced marches tot ees conv effect m junction with the central army. The third German army, on the right wing, was swinging in from the south over Crajemo, squeesing in the Russian left. Despite the most tremendous ef- forts, and the unprecedented endur- ance of the German troops in making forced marches through snowstorms and vast stretches of marshes and swamps, the attempt completely to surround the Russian army, as evi- dently planned, did not wholly suo- ceed. Fully a third of the Russiang got past Augustof before the Ger- mans could close up the gap. But yesterday, when I left the army at Augustof, the Germans were hanging on the flanks and the rear of the fieeing*Russians. Eight miles east of the town the Russian rear guard was making a desperate stand to cover the retreat, while Russian reinforcements, coming from Grodno, were thundering a. cannonade, When I left the Germans hoped to surrounded an entire Russian division in the swampy forests. Large bodies of Russians were still surrounded in the swamps, while the balance of. the ‘was fleeing in the direction of the fortress of Grodno. It was known at that time thatithe Russian prison- numbered 64, that 11 guns, over '100 machine guns, 15@ ammuni- tioh’ wagons and thousands of rifles had been taken, The Russian dead and wounded was estimated at be- tween 20,000 and 80,000. In their retreat the Russians de- stroyed property ruthlessly. Between Lyck and the border they took re- venge by burning every house and farm blishment. In Lyck itself they demolished the interiors of houses, ked furniture and smeared the walls with vile filth, RUSSIANS DESTROY GERMAN PART OF TOWN. ‘The frontier town of Prostken, twelve miles south of Lyck, appeared as if it had been cut in two with o knife, The Russiais destroyed every building on the German side of the town. They @idn’t touch the bulld- ings on the Russian side, It must be sald for the Germans that, with the exception of half a dosen houses damaged by shell shot, hardly a building was destroyed by the Kaiser's troops this time or when they retreated from Russia, many weeks ago, At Crajevo I met Gen. von Habn- Gorff, who ever since October, with a brigade of 13,000, had defended Loet- sen, in the centre of the Masurian Lakes region, against a Russian force estimated at 40,000. His army is now part of the German right wing. Gen. von Hahndorf told me that the Russians sent part of the Im- pertal Guard, with other troops, from the fortresses of Ossowets, Lomsa and Ostrolenka, in an endeavor to turn the German right wing, but were defeated. I reached Augustof a few hours af- ter the Germans took the town, mak- ing 6,000 prisoners.
