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.

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.

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. Meantime, tho allied fleet has at last demolished tho forts at the entrance to tho Dardanelles in what is believed to bo preliminary to a determined attempt to force the historic strait, the opining of which would have important strategic, po litical and economic effects. Wireless reports that tho American steamship Dacia plans to go northward around Scotland on the way to Ham burg revives speculation as to when and where she will be seized by the British, m HOUSES DESTROYED IN LAST RHEIRIS BOMBARDING Paris, Fob. 26, 5.10 A. M.— The bombardment of Rheims was more se vere on tho night of February 21-22 than at any other time, according to C. Lenoir, deputy for Rheims, wibo was in the city at that time. Shells began falling at 9 o 'clock and continued to rain down until 2.15 a. m. The pro jectiles came from all parts of the Ger man front from the northwest to the east. The gunners seemod to aim especially at the First ward; of the city, M. Le noir said. This action hitherto had been spared. Fire broke out in twen ty places at once and whole blocks col lapsed like card houses. Official reports show that over 200 shells have been thrown on the old working quarter of the city, causing tho destruction of 400 houses. The bombardment was re sumed at 10 a. m., on the 22d and con tinued intermittently until 4 p. m. ADMIRALTY GIVES LIST OF SHIPSSUNK [MARINES London, Feb. 26, 12.06 A. M.— The British admiralty lutst night issued a memorandum of the nuimlber of arrivals and soilings of overseas steamers of all nationalities at and from United King dom ports during the present year. The memorandum shows that from Febru ary 18, when tho German blockade b»- gan, until February 24, 708 vessels ar rived and 673 sailed. The admiralty also gave out the fol lowing list of British vessels which hiaive been "sunk by German subma rines:" the steamers Cam-bank, Down shire, Branksoane, Chine, Oakby, Rio Parana, Western Coast and llarpalon. It says the steamer Dcptford probably struck a mine. Merely Point of View It was about 3 o'clock and the lad ing light in the art gallery of the Pub lic library was beginning to bother the painter woman who faced tho sunset canvas with lumpy palotto impaled on one thumb and paint brush held hesi tatingly in the other hand, while she scrutinized again the intricate blend ing of sunset colors and backed away a few steps farther to squint at the perspective of the old whaler she was copying ae it lurched in painted waves- Details of color blending, of light and shade, of form after the fashion of a painter's sensitivo Bippreciation, un doubtedly filled her mind. Then camo thumpiuig along the pol ished floor two other women. They stood for a moment in silence in front of the sunset picture. One of them raised a thick, beringed hand and rub bed the canvas with a slow feeling rub. "Ain't it grand, Nellie?" she paid "An' all hand painted too."— New York Post 13
