London, June 20. The Germans have
closed the Ilelgian frontier, evidently
in preparation for the movement of
irooya rrom lialicm to the western bat
lie front, a dispatch to the Daily Mail
Muted todav.
inn disposition to be made of tut
vast German forces released bv the de-
emne (teteat ot the Russians in (fa
licia is at present the biijiieit military
question, of the day. Military writers
me generally expressed the opinion
that Germany would press the advan
tage Rained over the czar by possibly
making annther thrust upon Warsaw,
renewing the advance upon Riga, or
centering the main attack upon the
Nouthenstern front and overrunning
IH'SSUrilUia.
The German and allied forces are aal
firmly deadlocked in Franco and Flan-1
dors as during the winter months. The
popular demand in Germany is for al
new drive against Paris, ho'wevor, and
me uik question is wiictiior German
strategy will call for a continued of
fensive against the Slavs or divort the
victfeious enemies of the east agaiuat
the French, British and llelei an lines.
There are also authorities who be
lieving there are Indications that the
Gorman line from the Bea to the Alps
is showing signs of becoming weak in
Hpots. If this is true they declare, the
continuous retreat of the Russians in
Unlieia, extending over a period of
nearly two months, has served its pur
pose. The Slavs have inflicted enor
mous losses upon the Austrians and
Germans, and, now just at the time
when the kniser might expect to con-
tinue striking his sledge hammer blows
against the Russians part of his forces
must De withdrawn to hold the western
lino ngninst the allied assaults.
In the past the closing of the Belgian
frontier has been fallowed by exten-
aive movements of troops. The rail
ways of Belgium, connecting with the
German lines afford excellent facilities
for the completing speedy transporta
tion of forces from the eastern to the
western front. Leaving the Russian
railroads, the Germans are moved over
tho great system of strategy railways
in Prussia, on their fatherland, nnd
then through Belgium to the fighting
front.
Gorman Attack Increases.
Petrogrod, June 20. German attacks
north of Warsaw are constantly becom
ing mire violent. The Russian lines
ire being subjected to terrific bombard
ment ami the Slavs have evacuated
wrecked fortifications.
This official announcement from the I
war oftiee today do not indicate
whether the Germans are re opening
their drive against Warsaw, but all
along the line there are said to be signs
of increasing activity. Between the

Berlin, via The Hague, June 26. A
strong editorial published by the Ber

the policies of Chancellor Vim Beth-niaun-llollweg,
today is expected to

"The present relations are not so

Secretary Says U. S. Navy Is,
Far Behind In Urn
Methods Of War .
WOULD MAKE NAVY OUR
STRONGEST DEFENSE
War On Land Revert To Old
Uses While Marine Shows
Advancement
Newport, R. I., June 2!.-Ttovolulloi.
ary changes in naval methods must bv
devised to bring the American navy up
to date, Secretary Dani.-ls told the
naval wt.r college hero today. Ha siiid
the development of the submsrine aud
tho activity of airships hud held (Eng
land's mighty navy behind a hind lock
ed barrier for the first year of the
Kurnpean war. And the secretary
called upon the war college to find nor
weapons such as will make the navy of
the United States the greatest weapon
of offense and defense ia the world.
Daniels' address bordered upon tho
sensational at times. His hearers in
terpreted it as a plea for fleets of sea
going submarines and air craft.
"While holding wisely to the good
of the pant, such as has stood the acid
test nf this great wnr, do not fear to
cast aside what have proven mvrn
shaekels of convention and go daringly
forward," the secretary declared.
" While congress is front Missouri, and
must be shown, it will appropriate all
the money required for defense If the
college will justify the reasons."
The navy will never be aatisfieil
with the past, Daniels said. It is "op
en minded" and no suggestions srn
rejected. The idealist, as well as the
inventor Is welcome to tell how It may
be improved, he declared.
Tho secretary said the program of 4H
battleships by 111 III would have been ex
ceeded uii to date if nil sessions of con
gress hail been as liberal as the Siity
third. He snid he elpccted tho nest
congress would ulso be liberal ami
would provide for weapons which aro
not now In existence.
"As you look abroad," said Ihnilels,
"you see old tactics, old strategics ami
old theories of naval warfare which
have gone unchallenged since the
time Carthago and Homo grappled, dis
appearing over night, Silent sub
marines elude great fleets, slip by Im
pregnable fortresses, thread their way
i safely through narrow straits sown
with mines, ami In a moment transform
great battleships Into useless musses of
sunken iron and steel, Overhead,
dirigibles and aeroplanes threaten new
danger and add new problems which
upset the old theories of warfare. If
war iikiii land has reverted to the use
of the bayonet and hand grenade, war
upon the sens has leaped forward with
a single stride and broken almost every
shtiiklo of nmieut convention.
"V. e have seen the mala fleet of the
greatest nut ion of the seas In the
world withdraw to the seclusion of
harbor, without having fired
