REPORT 7 DAMAGED BRITISH CRUISERS AT FALKLANDS Berlin, Fob. 26, by Wireless to Say \illc—The Cologne '"Gazette" has pub lished a letter received in Germany from Montevideo, Uruguay, iu which it is declared that seven British cruisers are lying at the Falkland Islands, in the Southern Atlantic, severely dam aged. This information lias been brought into Montevideo, the letter says, by the officers of an Argentine steamer. It was in December of last year that a British squadron met and overcame a group of German cruisers off the Falkland islands. Every one of the seven British warships which took part in this sea tight have since been re ported iu news dispatches as active in other marine fields. Under present cir cumstances of communication it prob ably would take considerably more thau a month to go from Montevideo to Ger many. The German cruiser Karlsruhe is be lieved to be still active in the Southern Atlantic. The visitor had been touring Brook lyn.

GERMAN MOVEMENT UPON WARSAW NOW PREDICTED DY RUSSIAN ARMY STAFF Petrogrnd, Feb. 26, 12.08 P. M., via 1 London, 1,15 P. M.—.Members of the J staff of the Russian sJrmy, cotnenting j on the recent military developments in I Northern Poland, all agTee that from | Przsanvnz and Novogorod tihe Germans hope to develop a movement upo War saw. (i'rzasnysz is the town north ot' I \> arsaw and about 15 miles south of ' the Hast Prussian frontier which has been the scene of heavy fighting recent ly and which Berlin declared yesterday j had been captured by German troops I witli a Russian lose of 10,000 pris oners). This movement is being assist ed, in their opinion, by the reconimence i inent of an energetic offensive in the j vicinity of Moghely. Against this powerful German ad va.nce, which evidently has assumed larger proportions than any previous movement in Russian Poland, the Rus | sians had three strong lines of defense. The first runs from Kovno to Olita, the I lalter town being on the Niemcu river 30 miles soutih of Kovno. The second runs from Olita to Grodno ami tho third line is known as the Bobr-Narew line. The German advance against these l defending lines is proceeding slowly on ■ .T'coiint ot the marshy country and the preparations in ordeT to keep open f communication with tho German bases, i There have been attacks in the | neighborhood of Stabino conducted | witih great energy and daring. This I fighting hau been virtually uninterrupt : ed and it invariably has been bayonet | engagements, in which the Russians hitvc become very skillful. There has : been increased activity, apparently in Ivastern Galicia, where the Germans have been checked in their efforts to reach Halicz, an important strategic point on the Dniester river. FINANCE CAINS FEATURE DEALINGS j IN EARLY HOURS OF MARKET Rise Most Noticeable in Special Group —Metal Shares Also Prominent— By Noon Most Issues Dropped Back to Near Yesterday's Figures By Associated Press. New York, Feb. 26.—Wa1l Street.— : Gains were the rule in to-day's early j stock market with a fair degree of ac : tlvity. The rise was most noticeable jin the special group, whore advances i of a point or more were registered. Met j al shares also were prominent, the suc- Icess of the Anaconda Copper not of fering, acting as a stimulate to those t issues. IT. 8. Steel and 1 Bethlehem Steel reflected a moderate demand. * Baldwin locomotive j*fd., with a one j point decline to 99, was the only stock j to record a minimum price in the early | dealings. Prices for Americans in Lon ! don were mixed, but gave no hint of j further war developments. Much of the early advance was at- I tributed to covering by the short in- I terest that element, according to popu lar belief, having overplayed its posi tion. Reports that "the British Ad miralty had ordered a suspension of i sailings from principal English ports j were scouted in shipping circles, but j accounted for the pause which followed [ the initial rise.

GERMANY THOUGHT TO BE PREPARING FOR BIG COUP ALONG THE WESTERN LINE London, Feb. 26, 12.10 P. M.—The impression is gaining ground among British and French military commenta tors that Germany is preparing for a fresh expenditure of energy in the laud campaign along the western front. Not withstanding the recent successes of tho Germans in the east they arc apparently encountering as stubborn resistance aa at any time. The resiliency and ro c.uperating powers of the Russian arm ies, according to theories advanced here, have convinced the German gen era.! staff that it is wisest to adopt the defensive in the Russian campaign while delivering another blow in the west. If this rush comes the allies -will 'lie well prepared to meet it. During the last few months a decided change for the better has taken place in tit© forces of the allies, with reinforcements, big ger guns and more complete equip ment, lack of which WHS felt keenly during tho early stage* of the war. Against the expectation of a new Ger man general offensive in the west an other theory is advanced in some quar ters that the German attack in the ©a«t will be continued, with the main idea of taking Warsaw from the north. Prsasnysz, fifty miles north of War saw, according to their claim, it ie prob ably that ,a battle is now raging along the river Orzyc tho Russians aro at tempting to stay the Teutonic advance. The Turks are again appearing in the war news by virtue of the renew**! fighting in tho Caucasus.
