Washington, Jan. 29. Diplomatic relations between America and Germany are graver now than at any time since negotiations began, so high officials stated. Although Secretary Lansing denied the issuance of an ultimatum, ii is known that events of the pt ,.cck b'oi'hc Germany and America close to the breaki .j -::.it. Prsudent Wil son's action in rejecting the li.n. ;ess!o'is of Ambassador von Bernstorff Tuesday created a grave situation. The German Embassy official said these constituted Germany's last words in the Lusitania case. President Wilson in sisted on a complete ;li:s: owal. Though Ambassador von Bernstorff on Tuesday predicted a satisfactory settlcvnent it is supposed the administration expressed an im.vilung ress to continLe neeoticiiions now misunderstand America's position. GERMANS CAFTUIE 1209 PRISONERS. ; Berlin (By wireless via 2ayvil!e) Jan. 23. The Ger mans won nearly a mile of tranches near Artois, captured the village of Prise, and a thousand yards of trenches south of the river Scrnme, with 1200 prisoners, so it is officially announced. A double offensive, the greatest ahr.i?, the western front tor months, was launched early yesterday. Several French attacks near Neuville failed, though tiicy occupied r. mine crater. MUNITIONS DEPOT IS DESTROYED. Paris, Jan. 29 After hours of fierce bombardment the Germans made an attack south of the river Sonme yester day. They were repulsed each time, so the communique said. An offensive was staged along the front for several miles, from the Somme to Frise. Desperate fighting is re ported north of Arras, and particularly from Neuville to Givenchy. Near Ville Enfeucht the French artillery fired a German ammunition depot and explosions resulted. AFRICAN LINER PROBABLY LOST. London, Jan. 29. The African liner Appam was lifted today among the ships that vanished. There is a growing fear that other vessels were sunk in the storm which raged for three days off the Moroccan coast. REFUGEES LEAVE FOR SAN DIEGC. San Diego, Jan. 29. Returning from their search., troops reported that the entire Otay Valley is a morass and no trace remains of the orange groves, ranches and people The water evidently traveled at express train speed, and everything in its path was doomed. A dreary party of lefugecs who heeded the early warnings, fled. They have started for San Die?o. surre ndering all hope of finding what remains of their families. Since Thursday right, when the dam broke, a handful of refugees remained near by, not sending word of the catastrophe outside. HUNDREDS HOMELESS IN ARKANSAS. ' Arkansas City, Jan. 29. Seven are known to be dead from floods along the Arkansas and St. Francis rivers. Hundreds of people are homeless.

"I think that for i:s the war h only beginning." said David Lloyd-George, Minister of Muni tions, in an interview today with the London correspon dent of the Milan Secolo.

England and her allies are now taking counsel to aether and wii! be stronger, because they are united.

At least 25 Japanese men, women and children were reported to be auioiiK those lost. An area l.'i miles long and two miles wide is devastated. Rescuers were unable to reach tha scene of the disaster tonight, as all bridges were washed out and th swollen streams were so treacherous tliat It was impossible to launch boats to no to the rescue. Several bodies have been seen floating In the flood waters, accord ing to reports received here.
