They covered at least, half a dozen instances in the last two montha. The American Embassy at London was asked for a report, but has not yet re- plied. It waa learned on high authority that, in addition to these complaints, Berlin Admits the Evacuation of Metzeral in Alsace and Losses at Meuse. GAINS NORTH OF ARRAS. Infantry Attacks Repulsed Near Souchez and to the West of Soissons. BBRLIN (via wireless to London), June 21.—The War Office this after- noon admitted that the Germans have evacuated Metzeral, in Alsace, “be- fore superior enemy forces,” but re- ported that before retiring the town was fired and converted into a heap of ruins. . It was officially admitted that th French occupied German positions on the Meuse River heights, but the War Orhve stated that Ger. in counter- attacks recovered part of the lost ground. Following is the text of the War Office report: “On the front, to the north of Arras, our antagonists rescued themselves chiefly with the fire of artillery. An) infantry attack to the north of Souches was repulsed by us. To the west of Solssons a partial night at- tack by the French against our pos! tions to the west of Moulin-Sous- ‘Toutvent resuited in failure, “On the western border of the Ar- gonne we opened the attack, The Wuertemburg and the North German Landsturm took several lines of di fense works eituated behind each other over a front of two kilometres (a mile and one-fifth) and inflicted heavy losses on the French. During the unsuccessful counte: jack by the French the prisonera and booty taken in this fighting amounted to 6 officers and 628 men, 3 machine guns and 3 mine throwers. “In the Meuse Hills the French di- rected strong attacks Inst evening against our positions in the trenches to the weat of Les Hparges, but at a point to the west of the high road their onslaughts broke down under our fire, To the east of the high road the enemy penetrated into a portion of our positions, but they have been partly driven out again. Seventy prisoners remained in our hands. “To the east of Luneville we with- drew in the face of superior forces. Our advance posts were pushed for- ward by way of Gondrenton to the main positions to the north of Lune- ville, “In the Vosges attacks of the enemy in the Valley of the Fecht and south of this position were repulsed with sanguinary losses. To avoid unfiec- essary losses we evacuated syatemat- jeally durt the night the village of Metseral, which had been reduced to a heap of ruins by the French artil- lery fire.” UNLIMITED CREDIT VOTED BY COMMONS Government Gets a Blank Check for Funds to Carry on the War. LONDON, June 31.—The House of Commons this afternoon gave the Na- tional Government a blank check to be filled up in accordance with the expenditures of the year, In asking this indefinite credit | Chancellor of the Exchequer Mc- Kenna announced that he proposed to issue a war loan to be terminated at cases were cited where other neutral flags have been flown by British mer- chantimen sent out disguised to comb the seas for German submarines. It was expected these charges would figure prominently in Germany's reply to the latest American note, Germany taking the position that with such methods in vogue it would be impossible for German sub- marine commanders to observe the ordinary usages of stoppage and search of suspected morchant vessels. The German Government's charge that Commander Weddlgen, with the crew of the submarine U-29, lost their lives when their boat was attacked by a British vessel flying the Swed- ish flag, has already been taken up by the State Department. Inasmuch as the U-29's entire cre ‘was said to have perished when their craft was rammed and sunk, officials admitied they were puzzled to under- stand how the German Government got ite information, The various German accusations were expected also to figure largely in America’s next note to England.

MANY PRIESTS — SLAI Russians Used 1,500 Jews as a Living Barrier Exposed to Bullets, PARIS, June 21.—Pope Benedict holds the opinion that belligerents on both sides have been guilty of so- called “atrocities,” and is not inclined to place ail the blame on the Austro- Germans, according to Louis Latapio, correspondent of the Paris newspaper La Libertie, whé was granted an in- lerview by His Holiness. The Inter- view was published to-day. Latapio told the Pope that the peo- ple of France regarded his silence on alleged war crimes as “strange.” “Then the people of France are un- just, or rather misinformed,” respond- ed His Holiness, “and I blame you journalists for this. I first addressed a letter favoring a peace settlement: then I proposed a Christmas truce and next I endeavored to obtain an ex- change of prisoners, obtaining appre- clable results.” The correspondent asked Pope Bene- dict for an expression on the sinking ot the Lusitania. “Ido not knov- of a more frightful misdeed,” responded the Pontiff. “My heart is the heart of the Father—it 13 heavy and torn.

BRITISH HAVE LOST 11,072 OFFICERS $0 FAR IN THE WAR Of These 3,372 Were Killed, 6,651 Wotlnded, and 1,049 Are Missing. LONDON, Friday, June 11 (corres- pondence of the Associated Press).-- The British army casualty lists end- ing June 9 show that since the be- ginning of the war 3,372 officers have 1 wounded and 1,049 put down missing, making a total of 11,072, From May 19 to th of June, 703 officers were killed, 1,407 wounded and 150 reported missing, or 2,260 in all. ‘These figures bring out the fact that the proportion of killed to wounde! runs one to two, which is probably really inspired by humane sentiment?” La Libertie's correspo! at asked His Holiness about the stories of priests being shot as hostages. “The Austrian bishops assure me jane also took Catholic and that once they used 1,500 Jews as a living barrier before them, exposed to bullets,” replied Pope Benedict. “Bishop Cremona tol* me that Italian soldiers did the same thing with eighteen Austrian priests.” , Questioned about alleged German atrocities at Louvain and the bom- bardment of Rheims Cathedral, His Holiness replied: “The Germans say their troops were fired upon at Louvain and that Rheims Cathedral was used as an ob- servation post by the Wrench. There were reports that Cardinal Mercter Was arrested by the Germans in Hel- jum, but it will astonish you to, earn that the Cardinal was never ar- rested.
