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. By noon most issues
i were only a trifle oveT yesterday's close
| with heaviness in New York Central
i and Canadian Pacific. Auother Gold
| Importation from Canada was attended
by some steadiness in Exchange on
! London but German remittances were
lower than before. Bonds were firm.

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.

London, Feb. 26, 12.06 A. M.— The
British admiralty lutst night issued a

rines:" the steamers Cam-bank, Down

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
