The report of the submarine's ac- tivity bas stopped the movement of numerous German vessels with car- goes of iron ore now at Oxloesund and other ports. Last fall British submarines, which made their way int& the Baltic through the Skagerrack and Cattegat, carried on an energetic campaign against shipping between Scandinav- ian and German ports through Baltic watersk. In especial they appear to have worked havoc with the ore trade between Scandinavia and Germany, sinking a number of ore vessels, and according to some reports virtually paralyzing this traffic for weeks be- cause of the perit to shipping due to the presence of the hostile under- sea craft. Special despatches front Scandina- vian sources to British newspapers in mid-October declared that German commercial traffic had virtually been cleared from the Bailie by the British submarine activity, one list printed containing the names of twenty Ger- man ships sunk during October. Ger- man amounts, however, denied that there was any such stoppage 'of traf- fic as was claimed in British sources, citing the movement et hundreds " of ships from various 13altic ports during the Period of submarine operations in those waters. The • coming re'. winter put an end to the British activity in these waters. , British Headquarters its Franco, May ire -It develops that the action of the battalions of the Royal North Lancashires and the Lancashire Fus- iliers on the 15th was a singularly brilliant attack, and gained a stategie point, the crest of the redoubtable Vim, ridge, the possession of which means the eommand of the plain of Lens.

Slight casualties were the cost of the night's success.

Arthur 'Woods is ready and apparently eager to -day to tell the elate Legislative Committee, whieh has begun an inquiry into pollee tapping of telephone wires, why the police lis- tened on the wire leading to the officer; of the law firm of Seymoar Sey- mour. After se conference, in which Senator Thompson, the police eemmissioner, the district attorney and Mayor Mit- diet- took part, District Attorney Sisann gave out the information that the wire ja question was tapped be- cause J.. P. Morgan AS Co. had com- plainedthat confidential cablegrams from the French Government to that firm regarding buying of war Mull - tions had been stolen from.tho firm's offices and sold to munition manufac- turers in this country. Before testifying to -day, the Watiee c•ommissioner said thq theft at thein- formation from the Morgan offices was only, gne reason wiry the police tapped the wire. "There was another reason, which I am not at liberty to tell, because it has to do with most iraportant matters affecting the na- tional Government," said Mr. Woods. It was reported that the police had been informed that it foreign agent, peeing as a representative of the Rus- sian Government, had purchased war munitions, ostensibly for the Entents Alllee, and had smuggled them into 3dexico.
