KING mS UPON HIS PEOPLE TO COME FORWARD FOR BRHAIN Royal Manifesto Asks for More and Yet More Hen to Volunteer to Secure Victory for Empire A despatch from London says: King Georga has issued an appeal to his subjects to come forward volun- tarily and aid Great Britain in her fight against the Germanic allies. The message follows: "To my people: At this grave mo- ment in the struggle between my peo- ple and a highly organized enemy, who has transgressed the laws of na- tions and changed the ordinance that binds civilized Europe together, I ap- peal to you. "I rejoice in my Empire's effort, fortstlhe-ss fffrsea zfiro shrdludluu and I feel pride in the voluntary re- sponse from my subjects all over the world who have sacrificed home and fortune and life itself in order that another may not inherit the free Em- pire which their ancestors and mine have built. I ask you to make good these sacrifices. "The end is not in sight. More men, and yet more, arc wanted to keep my armiss in the field, and through them to secure victory and an enduring peace. In ancient days the darkest moment has ever produced in men of our race the sternest resolve. I ask you, men of all classes, to come for- ward voluntarily and take your share in these fights. "In freely responding to my appeal you will be giving your support to our brothers who for long months have nobly upheld Great Britain's past traditions and the glory of her arms." ALLffiD ARMIES ARE STRIKING ON FIVE FRONTS TO AID SERBIA Sending Forces on Land and Sea Into Action to Lighten Burden of Little Balkan State A despatch from London says: The spirit of co-operation that animates the allied War Offices and is co-ordi- nating the common campaign against the Central Empires, was never better exemplified than by a series of recent developments. North, east, south and west the allied powers have moved simultaneously by land and by sea. From Russia to Italy, from Belgium to the Aegean the forces of the En- tente unified their actions, all with one purpose â€" to relieve the strain that threatens to break Serbia. Jtoly, which for weeks has done nothing in a military way, has launch- ed the greatest offensive she has yet undertaken against the Austrian fron- tier. Russia, taking advantage of the control she has retained over the Gulf of Riga, has landed a force on the Courland coast and is threatening the rear of the German army in front of Riga. France is increasing slowly but in- exorably her pressure in Alsace-Lor- raine and in Champagne. A powerful allied fleet, including the Russian cruiser Askolfl; is batter- ing the Bulgarian coast defences in the Dardanelles. Russia, fortified by greater supplies of ammunition and larger trains of artillery than she has had at her command since last January, is driv- ing back the Austro-Germans in Gali- cia and Volhynia. Grand Duke Nicholas, at his Cau- casian headquarters, is directing a sharp offensive against the Turks which is making appreciable progress. As military observers here view the situation all these operations have for their first purpose the weakening of the Teutonic blow in the Balkans. Concerning the need of quick action to restore favorable conditions in Ser- bia there is no division of opinion. RUSSIANS GAIN NEW SUCCESSES They Deliver Fierce Strokes on Ger- man Centre and in Galicia. A despatch from London says: The Russians, taking advantage of the re- moval of (Jerman troops from other points on the front to reinforce Field Marshal von Hindenburg for his drive at Riga, which seems to have been checked, have been delivering some fierce strokes at the German centre on the Styr and in Galicia. In all these they have had at least initial successes. The latest offensive by the Russians was assumed north of Tarnopol, where the cai-rying of Austro-Gerinan positions gave the Russian soldiers nearly 8,000 prisoners, two howitzers, and a number of machine guns. These prisoners, added to those taken near Baranovichi the day before, make n total of over 14,000 Austrians and Germans captured in two days.

FRENCH ARTILLERY PREVENTS ASSEMBLING OF THE ENEMY Qcrmans Planned an Attack in Force in Belgium But Were Stopped by Allied Quns A despatch from Paris says: The Germans attempted an attack against the French lines east and south-west of Givonchy, but were repulsed. An- other attempt was made by them with no more success in the valley of the Souchez stream. Friday they pre- pared for an onslaught in the envi- rons of Lombaertzyde, Belgium, with the usual preliminary artillery fire. On this occasion the French artillery dispersed the enemy before he had completed the assembling of his troops for the attack. In a protracted artillery duel in Champagne the French guns succeed ed in silencing a very violent cannon ado directed against the French lines in the vicinity of Tahure, Massiges, La Harazec and Le Four do Paris Efficient work of the French guns also is noted in repressing German artillery attacks to the east of the Butte de Mesnil and in the vicinity of Ville-sur-Tourbe. The German aviation grounds at Ounal, betvyeen the Argonno and the Meuse, have been bombarded by a French aeroplane squadron. BLANKETED THE FRENCH UNES WITH T HEIR SUFF OCATING GASES But Eiemy Was Driven, With Frightful Losses, Back to His Trenches, Completely Unsuccessful A despatch from Paris says: The German infantry attack on the French lines between the Butte-dc- Tir and Prunay, east of Rheims, for which preparation was made with a very violent bombardment, was made Friday. Suffocating gases were used in great quantities, so that they fairly blanketed the French lines. Three at- tacks of remarkable violence were made by the enemy, but all were com- pletely stopped in front of the barbed wire entanglements protecting the French trenches by the French artil- lery and machine {(una. The front attacked has a length of roughly five miles and was the scene of a previous failure of the Germans in their attempt to cut through the new French lines in Champagne. The artillery preparations were unusually thorough and the gas blanket was ex- ceptionally dense, but the French guns and machine guns concentrated their fire on the advancing Germans BO effectively that one after another each of the attacks spent itself before wire cutting could be carried out, and the Germans, with frightful losses, fell back to their trenches completely unsuccessful. GORIZIAFALIJ TO THE ITALIANS Ort.s.- THE WEEK'S HAPPENINGS IN THE WAR AREAS. The above map shows the war developments of the past week. Determined German attacks against the French lines near Rheims have been sorry and costly failures. Elsewhere on the Western front there has been little activity. It is reported that the Italian armies have begun a general advance with a view to relieving the pressure against the Serbians by drawing Austrian troops to the Italian front. The Serbs are heroically contesting every foot of territory against the Austro-German advance. The Bulgarians have met with some success, and the Serbian army appears to be practically cut off from reinforcements and supplies. The French expeditionary force in the Balkans is operating against the Bulgarian armies. The British have effected a landing at Enos and may invade Bulgaria from this point Cyprus has been offered to Greece as an inducement to join the Entente Allies, and pressure is otherwise being brought to bear, as it is hazar- dous for the Allies' expeditionary forces to run the risk of being cut off from their base at Saloniki by a possible enemy. Greece must declare herself. The Germans are close to Riga, the Russian Baltic port, but this gain is offset by Russian successes at several points on the Eastern front, notably in the centre of the line.

Porkâ€" Heavy CanMa BY BRmSH IN THE BALTIC Submarine Campaign is Evidently on a Very Ex- tensive Scaleâ€" German Hypocrisy A despatch from London says: The daily report shows that the submarine campaign undertaken by the British navy in the Baltic is on a very exten- sive scale, although complete details are lacking owing to the fact that the submarines are acting under the or- ders of the Russian Admiralty. The sole facts published here are from Petrograd. It is known that over 30 German ships have been at- tacked by British submarines since the operations began and the number is increasing daily. The work, which is being carried out by only a few submarines, has had remarkable re- sults, comparing favorably, according to naval experts, with the work of the entire German flotilla in the same space of time. The campaigrn is causing intense anger in Germany, A peculiar fea- ture of the outburst in the press is the complaint that it is a violation of rules of international law. It Was the Key to the Entire Cam< paign on the Isonzo Front. A despatch from Rome says: Gor- izia, the key to the entire campaign on the Isonzo, has fallen before the combined artillery and infantry at- tacks of the Italians, according to news brought to Rome by staff offi- cers who have just returned from field headquarters. These officers further report that the results of the Italian offensive, begun several days ago on the entire front of the Alps to the sea, are much more important than has been an- nounced in the official reports from Gen. Cadorna, chief of staff, which have been given out by the War Office here. Official information on the extent of the Italian gains in Tyrol and on the Isonzo are, they say, withheld un- til the positions conquered by the Italian troops are consolidated and their advance is made a permanent victory. The official statement issued b> the Italian War Office makes no men- tion of the fall of Gorizia, but speaka of heavy fighting in this vicinity, in which the Italians were victorious. The Italians took enemy entrench- ments on Monte Sabetina and the Podgora Hill, in the Gorizia zone, and under fire of the Austrian artillery captured by infantry attacks posi- tions on the Carso plateau which the Italian artillery had bombarded. The Austrians made a counter-attack and the positions were taken and retaken, the Italians at nightfall retaining their advantage on the left wing, east of Peteano, and in the centre in the direction of Parcottini. The Italians claim the capture of 1,003 prisoners in the day's fighting on the Isonzo. For five months the Italian big guns have been hammering the strong forts on the steep hills around Gorizia, which, situated in a pocket, formed by a bend in the Isonzo, its natural protection on the west, and the mountains stretching in a semi- circle north, east and south, has been regarded by the Austrians and the military experts of other countries a: an impregnable fortress.

A despatch from Paris says: Fifty- two persons are reported to have been killed in an explosion in a factory in the Rue De Tolbiac, while one hun- dred or more were injured. Many of the victims were women workers in the factory which was wrecked, as were buildings in the j vicinity. j President Poincare and Minister pt : the Interior Malvy, who were imme- I diately informed of the disaster, visit- ed the scene and gave directions to 1 the rescuing forces. An auto truck was being loaded i when workmen accidentally dropped one grenade, causing an explosion, ; which was followed by two others in i quick succession. , The explosion destroyed not only j the main factory and other buildings I connected with it, but everything within a radius of 100 yards, and I damaged buildings 500 yards distant. j The explosion was followed by fire, ; but the flames were soon extinguish- Icd. I Of the 41 bodies recovered 31 are I those of women. Forty injured per- sons were treated at the emergency hospital which was quickly installed at the scene. Twenty others were removed to another hospital. It was said that the injured would exceed 100 in number. A report that the explosion was the result of the work of spies was abso- lutely denied. GERMAN ARMORED CRUISER SU BMARINED IN THE BALTIC The Prinz Adalbert, 9000 Ton?, Sunk Near Libau by a British Undersea Boat A despatch from Petrograd says: The following official statement was issued here: "A British submarine has sunk a German cruiser of the Prince Adalbert type near Libau." There originally were two German armored cruisers of this type, the Prinz Adalbert and the Friedrich Karl. The latter struck a mine in the Baltic last November and was lost with all hands. The Prinz Adalbert was completed at Kiel in October, 1903, and ranked as an armored cruiser. She was of 9,060 tons dis- placement, 394 feet long. She carried four 8-2 inch and ten 6-inch guns and had a speed of 21 knots. Her comple- ment was 557 men. Allies Place Time Limit on Greece A despatch from Rome says: The ] favor of Austro-Hungary, Germany Entente allies are threatening to take I and Turkey in any case. If these as- reprisals against Greece unless for- ! surances are satisfactory, then mal assurances are given by Greece \ Greece, and Roumania as well, are to before the axpiration of a short time | be allowed to choose their own time limit that she will not intervene in i for intervention. WIFE OF FORMER M.P., A GERMAN, ARRESTED A despatch from London says: A sensation has been caused in the North Country, says the Evening News, by the arrest of the wife ot William J. D. Burnyeat, who was a Member of Parliament for White- haven from 1906 to 1910. Mrs. Burn- yeat is a German, the daughter of Col. Retzlaff, of Berlin. The couple own a fine house on the Irish Sea coast near Whitehaven, which recent- ly was raided by a German submar- ine. It was alleged at the time thai the submarine was guided by signals from the coast. « . PROTEST FROM SWISS IS LODGED IN BERLIN A despatch from Berne says: The Swiss Government has instructed its Embassy at Berlin to lodge an ener- getic protest against the new viola- tion of Swiss territory by German aviators. The protest is occasioned by the act of an aviator in dropping I eight bombs over Chaux de Fonds, causing the injury of four persons I and considerable damage to property. Switzerland demands compensation and the punishment of the aviator.
