The Brlllah official report says that apart from tho breaking of the win dows und the smashing of the furni ture of the American cormnlate, "no particular (lama!;e was done" at Dun kirk. It mukea no reference wlintovor to a Paris report that six persons wore killed and others wounded, and It Is therefore not known whether this re port covers completely tho attack of the Clermiin airmen, who, according to unofficial dUiputclies, dropped ns many as 80 bomlis on tho French port. Germany Seizes Wheat. Berlin, via Amsterdam to London.' AH stocks of wheat have boon solnsd by tho Gorman government according to the official statement in order to safeguard tho bread supply until tho next harvest, GENERAL VON BISSING .T. r" Sv - f n -t iml'ii(li General Von Dliilna, who wat re eenlly appointed QOvernor of the Bel glan territory controlled by Germany BRIEF WAR NEWS The cassation f nunslu's advance on iiniaiH'M aim a rrnr ,.n....... ... . ...i ..lift..,. orfeimlvu In Ilukovlna comhlue to pro .i,i ii, i, x.iitit tiniiortatit war news of the week. The capture of Klrllbnbii plum, leading from aoutlieru Hukovliia Into Truimylvaula, and preainitlng the choice of two routes to llurtapem, pre Biimably was accomplished at the cost of having other passea Insufficiently ill fended, The Austrian! have taken advantage of this condition, and are now nm In the crownland from which th-y were driven fmtnlKht ago. The ef fect of Aiihtrla a sudden success has undoubtedly exerted much Influence on Itoumanla during the week. 8po clnl Austro tjerman emltmarlea arrived at lluchare.t to pemundo the Hounian Ian stateiimen that It Is against their nmterlBl Interests to enter the war. Itiiuslaii troop, however, on Trans)!- vanlun soil went demoniilratlnK the posHlhtllty that unless Itoumanla Join ed the conflict quickly, aim would be too late to conquer Transylvania, wllh Its Roumanian population, for herself, rrobalily al no time has Houmanla been so near joining tho allies as she as this week. While matters were developing so precariously In ltukovlua and Tra:i sylvanlu, the Uusslans began during tho week a new offensive toward Thorn. Instead of concentrating on ono objective, rvtrograd returned to the policy of a divided forward move went. The result at least, produces a very peculiar strategic situation In Poland. With tho Vistula between them, tho Huhsliins and Germans are moving along parallel lines In opposite directions, separated only by the half mile width of the river, which neither Is able to cross. Toward the went, on tho north bank of the river, the Hus Inn Bih-Kiice mist is 35 miles from the German entrenched frontier camp at Thorn; while on the Vistula's south hank, to the east, the Germans are 3," mlleB from Warsaw. The German air raid on England was the most conspicuous 'occurrence of the week In the western war area No military results of any Importance wero produced by the raid. A numhet of civilians wero killed and Injured, and tho lives of non-combatants were BRiiln demonstrated to be as much hauard under modern warfare as those of soldiers In the field. In AIhscb some territory was gained by the French toward Mulhausen dur ing tho week, but the Germans effec tively checked tho enemy's movement toward tho Rhino, The entire valley of tho river Is retained by the Imper ial troons. while the French army Is oompelled to move In a northern dl rectlon Instead of planting Itself at any point along the coveted waterway. Although official descriptions oi fighting on the western front continue to be brief there Is evidence that it Is urowltiK fiercer at many points. The Germans aro showing renewed aetlvt ty In tho neighborhood of Ypres and heavy bombardments of tho left wing of tho allies are almost Incessant. Dunkirk has been aliiRled out for German air attack, doubtless .because It Is believed It Ih being used by the Hrltlsh as a base of supplies from England, while Ostend, Bruges and ZeehriiRge are receiving attention from the allies for u similar reanon There Is no confirmation from official sources of the reported visit of the allies' airmen to Eshgu and Dussel dorf early In the week.

AHNDUiiCED Markets Arc Open to World and to Prevent Shipments Would Chow Partiality. Washington. Ths United States government Issued a lengthy defense of lis Interpretation of tho rights and duties of a neutral In tho European war. After answering 19 specific charges and calling attention to the fact that. the United Hiatus lu promptly tuken to task Great Britain as well as Ger many and every government which In sny wuy has Infringed upon the rlghta of this country, the letter concludes with the following declaration on the muchii:scuhiii-d question of exporta tion of war munitions: "Those In this country who sympa thize with Germany and Austrla Hun gary appear to assume that some ob ligation rests upon this government. In the prformanc8 of Its neutral duty, to prevent all trade In contraband, and thus to equalize the difference due to the relative naval strength of the bel ligerents. No such obligation exlBts; It would bo an unneutral act, an act of partiality on the part of this govern ment, to adont such a policy, If the executive had the power to do so. "If Germany and Austria Hungary cannot Import contraband from tills country, It Is not. because of this fact, the duty of the United States to close Its markets -to tho allies. The markets of this country are open on equal terms to all the world, to every na tion, belligerent or ueutral." Bryan Evades Belgian Consul Issue. Secretsry Bryan made public the text of the note from Germany annul ling tho exequaturs or certificates of authority of neutral consuls lu Belgi um, and Issued a paraphrase of the American government s reply. While the German note considers the exequaturs of neutral consuls to have "expired" the American govern ment takes the view that they merely have beeu "suspended." In this wiiy the Washington government avoided committing Itself to the question of whether or not the sovereignty of Bel glum had expired with the German military occupation.
