TO COME FORWARD FOR BRITAIN
Royal Manifesto Asks for More and Yet More lien
to Volunteer to Secure Victory for Empire
A despatch from London says:
King George has issued an appeal to
his subjects to come forward volun-
tarily and aid Great Britain in her
fight against the Germanic allies. The
message follows:
"To my people: At this grave mo-
ment in the struggle between my peo-
pie and a highly organized eneesea
who has transgressed the laws of na-
tions and changed the ordinance that
binds civilized. Europe together, I ap-
peal to you.
"I rejoice in my Empire's effort,
fortstlhe-ss fffrsea zflro shrdludluu
and I feel pride in the voluntary re-
sponse from my subjects all over the
world who have sacrificed home and
fortune and life itself in order that
another may not inherit the free Em-
pire which their ancestors and. mine
have built. I ask you to make good
these sacrifices.
"The end is not in sight. More men,
and yet more, are wanted to keep my i
armies in the field, and through them
to secure victory and an enduring
peace. In ancient days the darkest
moment has ever produced in men of
our race the sternest resolve. Iask
you, men of all classes, to come for-
ward voluntarily and take your share
in these fights.
"In freely responding to my appeal
you will be giving your support to
our brothers who for long months
have nobly upheld Great Britain's
past traditions and the glory of her
arms."
ALLIED ARMIES ARE STRIKING ON
FIVE FRONTS TO AID SERBIA
Sen.
ng Forces on Land and Sea Into axion to
Lighten. Burden of Little Balkan, State
A despatch from London says: The
spirit of co-operation that animates
the allied. War Offices and is co-ordi-
nating the common campaign against
the Central Empires, was never better
exemplified than by a series of recent
developments, North, east, south and
west the allied powers have moved
simultaneously by land and by sea.
From Russia to Italy, from Belgium
to the Aegean the forces of the En-
tente unified their adieus, all with
one purpose -to relieve the strain
that threatens to break Serbia..
Italy, which for weeks has clone
nothing in a military way, has launch-
ed the greatest offensive she has yet
undertaken against the Austrian fron-
tier.
Russia, taking advantage of the
control she has retained over the Gulf
of Riga, has landed a force on the
Courland coast and is threatening the
rear of the German army in front of
Riga.
France is increasing slowly but in-
exorably her pressure in Alsace-Lor-
raine and in Champagne.
A powerful allied fleet, including
the Russian cruiser Askold, is batter-
ing the Bulgarian coast defences in
the Dardanelles.
Russia, fortified by greater supplies
of ammunition and larger trains of
artillery than . she has had at her
command since last January, is driv-
ing back the Austro -Germans in Gall-
; cis and Volhynia,
Grand Duke Nicholas, at his Cau-
casian headquarters, is directing a
"sharp offensive against the Turks
which is making appreciable progress.
As military observers here view the
situation all these operations have
for their first purpose the weakening
of the Teutonic blow in the Balkans.
Concerning the need of quick action
!to restore favorable conditions in Ser-
i bis there is no division of opinion.
RUSSIANS GAIN
NEW SUCCESSES
They Deliver Fierce Strokes on Ger-
man Centre and in '
Galicia.
A despatch from London says: The;
Russians, taking advantage of the re-
moval of German troops from other
points on the front to reinforce Field
Marshal von Hindenburg for his drive
at Riga, which seems to have been
checked, have been delivering some
fierce strokes at the German centre
on the Styr and in Galicia. In all
these they have had at least initial
successes.
The latest offensive by the Russians
was assumed north of Tarnopol.,
where the carrying of Austro -German
positions gave the Russian soldiers
nearly 8,000 prisoners, two howitzers,
and a number of machine guns. These
prisoners, added to those taken near
Baranovichi the day before, make a
total of over 14,000 Austrians and
Germans captured in two days.

FRENCH ARTILLERY PREVENTS
ASSEMBLING OF THE ENEMY
Germans Planned an Attack in Force in Belgium
But Were Stopped by Allied Guns
A despatch from Paris says: The
Germans attempted an attack against
the French lines east and south-west
of Givenchy, but were repulsed. An-
other attempt was made by them with
no more success in the valley of . the
Souchez stream. Friday they pre-
pared for an onslaught in the envi-
eons of Lombaertzyde, Belgium, with
the usual preliminary artillery fire.
On this occasion the French artillery
dispersedthe enemy before he had
,completed the assembling of his
troops for the attack.
In a protracted artillery duel in
Champagne the French guns succeed-
ed in silencing a very violent cannon-
ade directed against the French lines
in the vicinity of Tahure, Massiges,
La Harazee and Le Four de Paris.
Efficient work of the French guns
also is noted in repressing German
artillery attacks to the east of the
Butte de Mesnil and in the vicinity
of Ville-sur-Tourbe.
The German aviation grounds at
Ounal, between the Argonne and the
Meuse, have been bombarded by a
French aeroplane squadron.

TUE WEEK'S HAPPENINGS IN THE WAR AREAS.
The above map shows the war developments of the past week. Determined German attacks against the
French lines near Rheims have been sorry and costly failures. Elsewhere on the Western front there has
been little aetivity. It is reported that the Italian armies have begun a general advance with a view to
relieving the pressure against the Serbians by drawing Austrian troops to the Italian front. The Serbs are
heroically contesting every foot of territory against the Austro -German advance. The Bulgarians have met
with some success, and the Serbian army appears to be practically cut off from reinforcements and supplies.
The French expeditionary force in the Balkans is operating against the Bulgarian armies. The British have
effected a landing at Enos and may invade Bulgaria from this point, Cyprus has been offered to Greece
as an inducement to join the Entente Allies, Lind pressure is otherwise being brought to bear, as it is hazar-
dous for the Allies' expeditionary forces to run the risk of being cut off from their base at Saloniki by a
possible enemy. Greece must declare herself. The Germans aro close to Riga, the Russian Baltic port, but
this gain is offset by Russian successes at several points on the Eastern front, notably in the centre of the
line.

Front.
A despatch from Rome says: Gor-
izia, the key to the entire campaign
on the Isonzo, has fallen before the
combined artillery and infantry at-
tacks of the Italians, according to
news brought to Rome by staff offi-
cers who have just returned from field
headquarters.
These officers further report that.
the results of the Italian offensive,
begun several days ago on the entire
front of the Alps to the sea, are much
more important than has been an-
nounced in the official reports from
Gen.. Cadorna, chief of staff, which
have been given out by the War Office
here.
Official information on the extent
of the Italian gains in Tyrol and on
the Isonzo are, they say, withheld un-
til the positions conquered by the
Italian troops are consolidated and
their advance is made a permanent
victory.
The official statement issued bI
the Italian War Office makes no men.,
tion of the fall of Gorizia, but speaks
of heavy fighting in this vicinity, in
which the Italians were victorious.
The Italians took enemy entrench -
meats on Monte Sabetine. and the
Podgora Hill, in the Gorizia zone, and
under fire of the Austrian artillery

tions on the Carso plateau which the
Italian artil'i't:ry had bombarded. The

GERMAN ARMORED CRUISER .

by a British Undersea Boat
A despatch from Petrograd says:
The following official statement was
issued here: "A British submarine
has sunk a German cruiser of the
Prince Adalbert type near Libau."
There originally were two German
armored cruisers of this type, the
Prinz Adalbert and the Friedrich
Karl. The latter struck a mine in the
•
Baltic last November and was lost
with all hands. The Prinz. Adalbert
was completed at Kiel in October,
1903, and ranked as an armored
cruiser. She was of. 9,050 tons dis-
placement, 894 feet long. She carried

had a speed of 21 knots. Her cdmple-
meat was 557 men.
