MARTIAL LAW FOR STRIKERS
LONDON, Feb. 27.—The employees of the great
Clyde shipyards who had threatened a great strike have
been ordered by the government to go to work Monday
just the same as ever or take the consequences of being
treated as criminals. Ten thousand men were involved ini
the trouble and their quitting work would have hampered\
dangerously Britain's supply of war munitions. The order j
forbidding the men to strike was issued last night and as
the nation is in a state of war the legal power has been se
cured by the government to enforce its mandate. At the
same time the government has promised to try to adjust
the difficulties between the employers and the men. Just
at the present time the workers in the Clyde yards are
regarded as the most needed men in the country. There is
some doubt as to whether the men will obey the order and
if they decide to defy the government a condition will re
sult wich is unprecedented in the annals of modern Britain
Efforts are now being made to show the employees that
a strike at the present time would be unpatriotic to the |
point of treason but the men are answering by stating
that the employers are taking advantage of the war to
compel them to work on the employers’ own conditions.
GERMANS GATHER IN EAST
PETROGRAD, Feb. 27—The Germans are now con
centrating in great force near the East Prussian border
to the northeast of Warsaw with the evident intention of
launching an attack on the Polish capital. This move has
been expected and the Russians have prepared strong
lines of defence north of Warsaw .The attacks of the Ger-1
mans to the west of the city have been given up for the
present but the assualt will probably be renewed from that;
quarter simultaneously with a general attack from the
north. The enemy evidently hopes that by attacking from
the north he will* threaten the Russian right and compel
our armies facing the Germans to the west of the city to1
fall back. The Russian government denies officially that
the city of Przasnyz has been captured by the Germans.
On the contrary, it is stated that the Russians captured
three thousand Germans in that battle and that the enemy
failed completely in his efforts to occupy the place.
KOI MAMA THINKS IT OVER
PARIS. Feb. 27—Roumania is still hesitating on the
verge. It is stated that her fear of Bulgaria prevents her
from taking the final plunge into the war. The great loan
made by Germany to Bulgaria is coming to be regarded
as a guarantee that if Roumania enters the struggle she
will have her neighbor to contend with.

ITALY PROHIBITS MEETINGS
ROME. Feb. 27.—The government today issued a de
cree prohibiting the holding of any more mass meetings.
The opinions of the people are divided and feeling on both
sides run so high that further rioting would be sure to
take place if the meetings were permitted to go on.
QUIET IN ASIA MINOR
ATHENS, Feb. 27.—A strange secrecy still exists,
with regard to the operations of the lurks and the Rus-|
sians near the Transcaucasian and Persian borders.:
Nothing has been heard recently of the operations which!
the British started on the Tigris and vessels coming from
the south through the Suez canal are able to throw no
light on the proceedings there. The telegraphic and other
means of communication in that part of the world are
limited. It seems to be clear, however, that the Turks
have finally abandoned their intentions of trying to force j
the canal and invade Egypt. i

BERLIN OFFICIAL BULLETIN
BERLIN, Feb. 27.—The official announcement this
morning is that the French attacks in the department of
Champagne have been repulsed. The enemy has made no!
further attacks in other parts of the western arena andj
everything there is comparatively quiet. In the East the
Russians are starting a strong offensive north of
Przasnysz with the evident intention of trying to remove
the menace of an attack on Warsaw from the north. A
tremendous battle may be expected in that region. It will j
probably begin in a day or two when both sides have!
time to take up their positions with the full available,
forces. Some fighting has already occurred but without
result. Berlin is confident of the outcome providing Hind
enburg decides that he has a sufficient force there for the
task. If he has not a retirement may be effected for a
strategic purpose but it is believed that he will make the
supreme effort while the ground is hardened by the frost.
ALCOHOL GETS LOW
BERLIN, Feb. 27.—The government has limited the
supply of alcohol to all private people as the supply is get
tint*: very low. In other commodities the same conditions
exist and further prohibitions are looked for.

young gen1 lemon’s courage to thei
point of asking the young ladies to j
