the American flag could be sustained.
It was stated that the course followed
by British naval officers In hoisting the
British flag and lowering the Stars and
Btrlpes on tho Greenbrier was the code
of International law, British navnl au
thorities having taken charsu of the ves

temporarily supnrsetled that of the Amei -lean
skipper. Firing of a shot to halt
her was also said to be according to tho
marine code.

which will compel thorn to abandon any
Idea of a drive to Ivangorod.
(This Is the first hint that the German
offensive In Poland Is also nlmed at Ivan

The accompanying map shows the battleground on which the Rus
sians, Germans and Austrians are fighting, and illustrates the tactics
of the Russians in attempting to drive the Teutonic Allies from their
lines fronting at Warsaw. In northern Poland Russian armies are
advancing along the right bank of the lower Vistula and also through
the region from Mlawa and Sierpc, with the evident object of cutting
in behind Plock and severing the German communications with Thorn,
In the south the German and Austrian armies hold positions on the
left bank of the Nida River and the right bank of the Dunajec. They
are trying to force the Russian lines at the centre of this region. In
the centre, along the Bzura-Rawka front, the fighting continues, but
interest is centred on the operations to the north and south.

BRITAIN DECLINES
TO WAIVE ITS RIGHT
TO SEIZE THE DACIA
U, S. Request to Make Ex
ception Refused in Note to
State Deparlment Prece
dent Feared.
WASHINGTON, Jnn. l.-Oreat Britain
totlny notified tlio Btato Department that
It would not waive Its rlsht to solJO the
steamship Dacla, recently transferred
from German to American registry, even
though the ship sailed for Rotterdam
Instead of Bremen.
Great Britain also refused this Gov
ernment's request that tho vessel be per
mitted to mako one voyage with cotton
fumi the United States to Germany with
out the voyage being considered a prece
dent establishing the right of German
ships to be transfencd to the American
flag.
Ambassador Page at l.ondon stated
that tho British Foreign Ofllce lofused
lo make nn exception In the Dacla case
on tli broad ground that It would bo
setting a precedent.
The Dacla Is at Galveston with a $co,
000 cargo of cotton, now about ready to
sail. It Is not expected the owners will
take the risk. K
Whllo the text of the note was not given
out by the State Department officials. It
Is understood that Great Britain agreed
lo pay tho owners of the Dacla enrgo the
same prices for their cotton that they
would have received In Germany. It
wbb made clear, according to good au
thority, that England did not object to
the shipment of cotton to Germany, but
to the employment of the ship Itself In
tho transportation of American goods to
it country with which It Is at war.
Sir Edward Grc In said to bale his
decision on the ground that If the Dacla,
which was one of the crack boats of the
Hamburg-American line, could be trans
ferred for the purpose of carrying goods
lo Germany, It would establish a prece
dent that would make difficult the regula
tion of traffic to Germany and Austria,
in other words, It was explained, tho
British Government felt that under Such
recognition German ships In every neu
tral port might be transferred to other
registry, used during the war In the
carrying trade nnd at tho end of the
war be returned to the Gennan flag.
German boats, owned by the llambiirB
Amerlean line, (tra now interned at this
port and there Is ft rumor that a Iew
York, shipping hgeney ha in option to
change them to Amerlcnn registry.

inquiry was maae or tne uniisn uovem
mont from Washington whether the silp
would be permitted to mako the trip to
Rotterdam without settling the question
of the transferred registry and today the
British Government responded that It
cruld not consent to such a trip.
Tho liners Interned at this port are the
Prlnz Oscar and the nhaella. They have
been lying up nb docks In the Delaware
since the outbreak of the war. So far
there has been no confirmation of tho
rumor lhat they may bo taken over by
an American firm. Locnt shipping men
believe the new owncm of the Dacla are
foolish to nttempt to send the ship to
Hotterdam, They believe tlcy should put
tho vessel Into somo other trade.

Ically denying the truth of dispatches
telling of the nianslnR of Bulgarian
troops on the borders of Servla and Ru

Minister to the United States, declared In
an Interview at Stcelton today, that Bul

in reply to a question as to how Bul

JI. Panarartoff said:
"I have seen dispatches declaring that
Bulgaria has massed lis troops on tho
Servian nnd Rumantlan frontiers. You
may say that Is n Ho; Bulgaria has not
mobilized any troops."
The Minister further declared that ho
didn't believe dispatches asserting Ru
mania had mobilized C0O.O0O were true,
saying:
"Rumania cannot mobilize COO.Ow ef

many In the field, counting old men and

combines education with pleasure
There are two sides to the Pianola from
the purchaser's standpoint. One is the
amusement side; the other is the educational
side. The amusement side everybody realizes.
But it is impossible to even faintly comprehend
the value of the educational merit of the
Pianola until you sit down to it and try to play
a favorite classic.
The Pianola does more than the mere
player-piano. Besides playing the roll for
you, the Pianola will teach you how to play
the roll correctly through its patented fea
tures, the Metrostyle and Themodist; and, best
of all, this teaching is not tiresome. It is
immensely interesting.
The Themodist is a device which will
automatically accent the melody for you. The
Metrostyle is represented by a red line, on the
roll, which accurately guides and directs you
in obtaining the expression intended by the
composer. No player-piano but the Pianola
has these devices.
The genuine Pianola may be secured in
Philadelphia at prices no higher than that
