V4?BI !.- -ZKStmr-'- r-.-.'- sfe2 sai 7 PKTitOGHAU, March 1. The highest importance is attached by the Russian military authorities to the German dofeat at Przannysz. It is aasertod by Russian staff officers that tho Germans' hope of success during their operations of tho last fortnight along tho northern front was based upon their confidence in breaking tho Russian lino at Przas yysz. This attempt by the Germans to strengthen tho position of their left wing, which was an important part of their plan for a gigantic en compassing movement extending from Augustowo to eastern Gallcla, is said todny by the Russians to havo failed definitely. Tho Russians assert that tho re tirement ot tho Germans in the north Is more precipitate and disorderly than any previous retreat In this thea ter of tho war. They state that the Germans havo abandoned largo num bers ot heavy and light guns and hnvo even left behind slightly wound ed soldiers in nn effort to executo a hasty retreat. This condition of af fairs, according to tho Russian view point, assumes added significance from the tact that tho Germans are said to havo employed some ot tholr best troops In this fighting. Russian progress in tho region ot Przasnysz has been notable. Wo havo captured one vlllugo after another, taking soveral hundred pris oners In each. In other sections tho Germans nre delivering countor at tacks, bringing fresh troops Into ac tion, and certain villages pass from tho possession ot ono slilo or tho other. Nevertheless, our front, ad vances measiireably oach day. PRESIDENT TO END 01 STRIKE AYASIIIXCITOX, Miirch 1. Pie6i dent Wilson may bo asked to inter vene directly in tho eastern Ohio coal strike.

The plan of the nllied governments for the regulation of shipping to and from ports of hostile nations contem plates the prevention of commodities of every kind reaching or leaving thoc ports without, however, involv ing rinks to ncutntt vessels or their crews. The nllies will bold themselves at liberty to'cnptnrc goods presumed to have come from bostilo countries or deemed to be destined for them. They have no intention, however, ot confiscating whips or cargoes which nre detained, unless they nro liable to confiscation under normal condi tions of war. Measures of Reprisal The premier revealed these meas ures of reprisnl to parliament and the nation on introducing1 tho third and fourth votes for credit to meet the exjtenses of Hio wnr. These nro re-peetively $18.1,000,000 to balnnco the expenditures of tho current fiscal year, making tho total costs of egiht months of war $1,810,000,000, and another vote of $1,2.")0,000,000 ns tbo first installment for the year opening April 1. Ittferring to the Oermnn nnvnl campaign against Ikitish shipping, Premier Asquith declared Ocnnnny bail violated systematically nil of tho conditions intended for the miligntion of warfare. Sho bail taken further Mep, tbo premier said, by organizing an "under-sea campaign of pirnoy and pillage." Ocnnnny, he declared, wns not blockading nml could never bloeknde English shores. Referring to what ho tcnneil .?bis jters of peace, Mr. Asquith said it was not the talk of pence; that this time would arrive "only when tho great purposes of tho nllies are iu bight of accomplishment." Intense of War Tho premier pointed out that on April 1 the wnr would hnvo lasted -10 days, with an average expendi ture of l.fiOO.OOO pounds ($7,500,000) daily. After tanking full nllow'nneo for all itemsnot in tho nature of re coverable loans, the daily expenditure would not work out loss than 1,200, 000 pounds. Tho total amount rais ed under votes for credit during the current finnncinl year 302,000,000 pounds sterling represented brondly tho difference in expenditures on a peace and a wnr footing. Of tho totnl 38,000,000 pounds sterling, reptesented advances for war expemlittires of tho dominions nnd the cmvvn colonies, in addition to which there had bcon advanced $10,000,000 to Belgium nnd 800,000 pounds to Scibia.
