Berlin Newspapers Believe German:
Will Blockade French Coast—Ad '
miralty Issues a Warning.
i
The London Exchane Telegrapk,
company has received the following |
dispatch from its Copenhagen corres
pondent:
“Emperor William’s visit to Wil
helmshaven is believed to be in com
nection with the warning of the Ger
man admiralty to neutral shipping
that great activity may be expected
off the north and west coasis of Eng:
land as a result of German attempts
to stop England’s transportation of
troops and munitions, nas announced
on Tuesday. ‘
“This is interpreted in London as a
prologue to important events at sea. |
It is rumored that Germany will try
to enage the British fleet in southern
waters, while another squadron goes
northward at full speed with the ob |
ject of covering the landing of troops
in England. :
“Large contingents of troops are re. |
ported to have been mobilized at Wii
helmshaven at the time of the Scar |
borough raid.” |
It was suggested in the house of :
commons that the German submarines i
which have been playing havoc with |
British shipping recently might have
obtained fresh supplies of fuel from
a ship direct from an English port. |
Gershom Stewart, a member, put !
before the admiralty a question as ta |
“whether a neutral oil steamer out |
ward bound from Manchester was not i
seen alongside two German subma !
rines within the past week.” i
Mr. Stewart also calls on the ad |
miralty for the name of this steamer |
the shippers of the oil and the con i
signees, and asks whether the expor |
tation of: oil on neutral vessels will be
permitted hereafter.

Kaiser May Biockace French Coast |
The warning of the German admir
alty staff concerning coming opera
tions on the French coast, is consid
ered by some Berlin newspapers
among them the Morgen Post, to mean
that an actual blockade is to be put
into effect by the Germans. |
The Morgen Post, however, points
out that many of the essentials of a
blockade are lacking, among them be !
ing a denite description of boundaries
and a warning that neutral ships must
not enter the forbidden zone.
The entire German press prints the
comments made by the English news
papers regarding the deeds of the
German submarine U-21, which made
the raid Saturday on British steam:
ers in the Irish sea.
The annouucement of the Germanr; |
navy staff follows:
“England intends to ship shortly tc
France a large number of troops and
a great quantity of war material. We
shall prevent this as much as possi |
ble, and we warn ordinary ships to |
keep away {rom the northwest ccast
of France. Trade to the North sea is |
recommended to go round the north!
coast of Scotland.”
Discussing the torpedoing of the
British merchantmen by German sub. |
marines, the Kreuz Zeitung, a Berlin |
newspaper, says:
“England and France cannot claim |
from us in all circumstances and
without exceptions the benevoleni i
treatment which we hitherto have ac |
corded merchant ships at sea. Cer |
tainly the life of no civilian will be |
sacrificed without necessity, but as nc |
one refrains from bombarding a for
tress or places on a battlefield be |
cause civilians may thereby be killed,
and as England has not hesitated ta
strew the North sea with mines
whereby the lives of neutrals are sac
rificed, so shall we not refrain from |
torpedoing English merchant ships, |
simply because the lives of a few are
thereby endangered.”
GIRL SOLDIER WOUNDED
Enlisted In Russo Army Under Man's
Name—Gets Honor Emblem.
Among the wounded who have ar
rived in Moscow from the front is
Olga Graslinikoff, a girl of nineteer |
years. . :
After taking part in nineteen battles |
in the campaign in Poland she was |
wounded in the foot. I
The girl enlisted under a man’s
name, and this deception has jus:
been discovered. The Cross of St
George, fourth degree, has been giver
to her.
Sees End of War This Year.
Senator Reverter, who is in close
touch with the Spanish foreign of
fice in Madrid, asserted his belie.
in a speech in the senate that a treaty
of peace terminating the European
war would be signed during the pres

German Torpedo Boat Sunk.
An official statement received from
Petrograd, and transmitted by the Ha
vas agency, says that a German tor
pedo boat destroyer was sunk by a
Russian submarine in the Baltic on
Jan. 29, The submarine attack wag
made off the Danish island of Moen.
WORLD EMPIRE “NONSENSE”
Kaiser Has No Such Ambition, He
Tells German Author. :
Before departing from Berlin for
Wilhelmshaven Emperor William re.
ceived the German author Ganghofer.
The emperor told Herr Ganghofer
that the charges made by enemies of
Germany that he intended to found a
world empire if the war ended suc:
cessfully for Germany, was “ridicu
lous nonsense.”

Murderer Used Muffled Rifle and!
Shots Were Not Heard—Cause of
Tragedy a Mystery.
Muffling tiie reports of his rifle with
a Maxim silencer, Herman Auerbach,
a wealthy real estate man, shot to
death his wife, Clare, thirty-four years
trice, aged eighteen, and Daisy, six
teen years of age, and then commit
ted suicide in their home at 386 Cen-
tral Park West, New York.
The bodies of the victims of the
tragedy were found by Lester, the
fourteen-year-old son, whose suspi
cions had been aroused upon awak-
ening in an adjoining room®to find a
note slipped under the door reading:
“When you wake up ‘phone Uncle
Joe Levy and grandpa.”
The note was unsigned, but was
plainly in the hand of Auerbach. It
is believed to have been indicted after
the crazed man had slain his wife and
daughters and made an unsuccessful
attempt to force an entrance into the
room of his son.
Although the rifle was of a 44-cali-
ber and should have made a noise
that would awaken the entire house,
son nor Lottie Schliet, a maid, who
occupied rooms in the apartment, had
heard the shots.
The bodies, each shot through the
head, rested in their different beds.
Apparently the three women were
killed as they slept The two daughters
occupied twin beds in a room adjoin:
ing that in which Auerbach and his
wife slept.
It is the theory of the police that
the man arose after making sure that
the family were asleep, and taking
his rifle, slew his wife and then his
daughters. From their room he is
son’s
room, only to be baffled by the locke:
door. Young Lester has been locking
his door since a burglar scare started
in that section of the city a few
weeks ago, a precaution which saved
his life.
After satisfyiny himself that there
was no way of entering the room
without arousing the other tenants oi
the house, the real estate man is be
lieved to have made his way back te
his own bed and ended his own life.
Evidently he pulled the trigger in this |
final shot with a toe. !
Terrified by his discovery, the boy !
that occupied by his sisters, with the |
intention of arousing them. One
glance at the .two bodies told him the |
tale in its terrible entirety, and then, |
shouting at the top of his voice, he |
' ran screaming down the stairs ne
i the street.
Policeman Sullivan heard the boy's
shouts and hurried from his post a,
couple of blocks away. After a pre |
, liminary investigation, he notified his '
station house and then called in Coro. |
i ner Feinberg and Dr. W. A. White, |
the family physician of the Auer |
bachs. -
The physician shed a little .light on
the deep mystery: involved in the
quadruple tragedy, when he told the
authorities of having attended Auer!
bach last autumn for a mild case of
apoplexy. The last stroke was just be
fore Christmas, Dr. White said, and
his patient had appeared to him ta
have completely recovered.
It is thought, however, that the
peril of a recurrence of the ailment
led him to his desperate act.
General Obregon Retakes Capital.
Mexico City is again in the hands !
of the forces of General Carranza,
who while acting as the provisional
the government, was
forced to leave Mexico City early in!
November under the threat of the ad-
cies.
The new authorities have re-estab
lished order in the capital and a gen-
eral feeling of confidence prevails in
the city.
It has been established that the
shooting wliich occurred in the main |
plaza, before the National Palace,
when General Alvaro Obregon, at the |
head of the Carranza forces, reached
that place, was done by snipers, hid-
den on the roof of the cathedral.
General Obregon said that the shots i
undoubtedly were directed at him and
that it Was an attempted assassina- |
tion. The perpetrators have not been |
captured. Three soldiers were killed |
and a number wounded during the fir-
ing.
All the saloons are closed as the re- |
sult of an order by the authorities,
but the commercial houses and banks '
will resume business immediately.
Late Thursday afternoon and in the
i earl yevening 20,000 additional Car!
ranza troops, consisting of three |
branches of arms, entered the capital !
and marched to the quarters selected |
for them by General Obregon.
The Zapatista troops, who left the |
city on the appearance of General |
Obregon and his forces, have retreat.

West of Warsaw.
Berlin Announces Capture of Village
East of Bolimow and 4000 of Czar’s
Troops. i
Fierce fighting continues in the dis
trict west of Warsaw, and the tide of ,
victory is now flowing toward the
Russians as a result of the arrival
there of fresh troops. |
Dispatches from Warsaw estimate |
the Russian reinforcements in this re-
gion at 1,000,000 men, and an official |
statement issued in Petrograd stated
that trenches taken by the Germans
in the early fighting had been recap-
tured.
While general interest centers in
the fighting west of Warsaw, the mili
tary experts regard the news that an-
other invasion of Hungary is in full
swing as of greater importance from
a strategical standpoint. The Russian
general staff reports that large forces
of cavalry are approaching Budapest.
The advancing Cossacks have prac:

The Russian drive against Thorn,
the great German fortress on the Vis:
tula, in East Prussia, has been resum-
ed. After sanguinary fighting along
the lower Vistula and north of that
stream, the Germans have retreated
to Lipno, only twenty-six miles from
Thorn.
The following official statement was
issued in Peirograd:
“The engagements in the region of
Mlawa have continued favorable to
our. troops. On the left bank of the
Vistula the battle on the roads from
considerable intensity.
“The German attack on the morning
of Feb. 2, north of Borjimow, was re
puised with great losses. A violent
combat was begun south of Goumine,
where we recaptured advance trench-
es which we lost on Jan. 31. Lo
“In the Carpathians the, conflict,
continued on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. Out
forces advanced, fighting along the
broad front at Dukla Pass, as far as
the lower San, having crossed the
principal ridge of the mountain range
in the region of Pasliska and Meza
Laborcz, where we took a battery of
six cannon, two mortars, a number o!
rapid firers and numerous prisoners.
An offensive movement undertaken by
the enemy southeast of Uszok Pass
was repulsed with enormous losses.
The capture of 4000 Russian prison:
ers and six machine guns since Feb.
1, in the fighting west of Warsaw, is
announced in an official report from
the German general staff, issued in
Berlin. The statement follows:
“In Poland, north of the Vistula,
cavalry onslaughts by the Russians
have been repulsed, while south o!
the Vistula German attacks at a poini
east of Borjimow ended with the oc:
cupation' of the v'lage of Humin
(probably Coymine). Fighting for pos:
session of Wolaszye-Lowiczka has
been going on since Feb. 1. In these
engagements we have taken more
than 4000 prisoners and captured six
“Russian attacks at night against
the German positions near the Bzura
river have been repulsed.”
Falkenhayn’s Son Killed.
Details received in Paris of the death
of Captain von Falkenhayn, son of
the chief of the German general staff,
reveal a dramatic tale. The German
was in a ‘Taube reconnoitering in the
vicinity of Amiens when a French
craft overtook him. An aerial duel
followed, four detonations rapidly
succeding each other. One of the bul
lets went through the heart of Cap-
tain von Falkenhayn.
