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.

LONDON", March 1. Tbo c.t;ib

to (lennnny's attack." on inuit;!innt
chipping ns announced officially lo
dny by Premier Asipiitb in n mo
mentous pccch iu the hoimc of com
mon". 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
