The Imrenu refers to the official mi nouncement that the destruction of the British 'battleship Formidable was due to a Herman submarine and says this is further striking evidence as to how England 's supremacy at sea is endan gered 'bv Germany's submarine fleet.

In this connection it aays: •'The capture of Borjimow is treat ed toy the ,military critics as a highly important event. The town lies nearly four miles to the eastward of the con fluence of the Rawka and By. Una rivers nnd commands the direct highway lead ing from Lowicr, to Warsaw.

"The position is described as com manding. a wide sweep of tho surround ing country and the possession thereof groatly facilitates the German advance upon Warsaw. The 'Loikal AnziegorV military correspondent regards it a.i probable that the Germans will succeed in breaking through the lines here un less the Russians forestall this by a general retreat. "The general situation south of the Vistula is regarded as promising more rapid devclopment-s this week. "The Austrian official bulletin is also I more reassuring than previously.

The lingers of the hand were found in* a cramped position. After straighten ing out the lingers and weighting them so that they could not again double up, the hand was reburied. All pain left' Jefferson at once, and he claims that he has suffered no inconvenience since.
