Buckingham Palace and Other London Residences
Covered B,y Wire Netting
•A despatch 'from London says :
The private .apartments .of the Royal
family in Buckingham Palace are
being • protected against p ssiblo
German air raids, Ever since the
Zeppelin raid of a few weeks ago,
when bombs were dropped near
Sandringham, one of the Royal resi-
• denees, there have been reports in
eireulation here that protective
measures' would be adopted for at
Jetta part of 'Buckingham Palace.
Much attention was attracted on
• Wednesray when workmen began
spreading heavy wire netting over
that part of the palace occupied as
residential quarters by the Royal
family. This netting was placed on
a heavy framework trestle which
stands weix feet or More from the
roof prober. Among, other places
lit Lotidun protected by isimilar
sereen are the hottees of the Duch-
ess of Marlborough, one of the
Rothschilds and some of the public
intitutions.
Although many of the finest works
of art had already been removed
from galleries here before the air
raid, the attack was a signal for a
more thole ugh paring down of :col-
lections. Nob only art museums
have taken the precautions; many
of the priceless objects in the Vic-
toria and Albert and. British Mu-
seums have been stored away.
SCF}'LIES EXHAUSTED
-Shops Closed and Whole Responsibility of Feeding
the" ebpie is Thrown on" ['Mary Governor
A despatch from 'Copenhagen
says . "The German people are
more terrified by the possibility of
being starved out by England than
day the thought of final disaster
overtaking their forces in the field.
'0'" Von Bethmann-Hollweg's recent
utterance that England is using
barbaric methods in attempting to
starve seventy million men, women
and children has had an effect on the
nation the Chancellor did not fore-
see. He has frightened the people,
has focussed the nation's thought on
the food peril, and by repeatedly
accentuating it he . has drawn the
people's attention from the military
aspect. The terrible crisis of stare
vation, laughed at a few months
ago, is now not far from being a
real thing in some of the country
districts in Germany."
WAR TIME SACRIFICES.
Uow the President of the C.P.R.
Looks at It.
The readiness of all to go deep in
the pocket, so that Canada would
act worthily her,part in helping the
British Empire and her Allies in the
present war, was expressed by Sir
Thomas Shaughnessy to a news-
paper representative, who spoke to
him about the taxes imposed on
railways, steamships, cables and
telegrams.
"The individual, the community,
the nation, fully understand that in
war time sacrifices have to be
made." said Sir Thomas. "These
they are willing to undertake, as
they are necessary for the integrity
of the Empire. At the same time,
they will accept the extra burdens
with the better grace if they are
well convinced that proper caution
and economy- are exercised in the
disbursement of the extra taxes and
the administration of affairs which
accompany such disbursement.
"One cannot gauge the amount of.
trouble involved in the prpeess of
,..-- reatbing these specials. taxes by
stamps or' -otherwise, but alt are
willing in such a time as the pre-
sent, to do their full duty; to put
up with any trouble; and to endure
sacrifices. They will the more
readily consent to all this if they
have the satisfied feeling that all
proper caution and economy have
been employed by those in authority
in the administration of public af-
fairs, and especially of those spe-
cial public affairs relating to our
share in aiding the Mother Country.
With such. adequate caution and
prudence, there would be nothing to
regret afterwards.
"It is the duty of all of us, indivi-
duals and corporations, to bear our
share of the extra burdens, which
must necessarily be imposed at this
time of stress. If these are wisely
and prudently disbursed, so as to
obtain the best and most efficacious
results, as respects the public ser-
vice, there will be no occasion to
complain ; and all, these special bur-
dens will be borne, I have no doubt,
with cheerfulness by our people,
who are ready to do their utmost to
aid in the defence of the empire."
KEEP BRASS FROM ENEMY.
French to Take 'Huttons Off Coats
Sent to Prisoners in Germany:
A--dep
es atch from Paris sass : An
oircial notice, just issued, warns the
public that in sending clothing to
French prisoners in Germany all
buttons, especially brass ones, must
be cut off. Orders have been issued
that hereafter all soldiers of France
shall receive half a litre of wine
each day. This order follows the
announcement that there is double
the quantity of wine on hand that
was believed in storage.
A GERAN AIRSHIP LOST
Four Members of Zeppelin's Crew Were Drowned
and Eleven Rescued
A despatch from Copenhagen
says: Confirmation has been re-
°'eeived here that a second German
3irsbip has been areeked off the
coast of Jutland. The Zeppelin L-3
exploded on Fanoe Island Wednes-
day and another Zeppelin com-
manded by Captain Count PIaten,
sank to the shallow coastal water
ten miles north of Esbjerg, -Jutland,
'on Thursday.. Four of the erew
were drowned, but the others man-
aged to get ashore. Some of them
;were suffering from broken Iegs and
other injuries. In all, three officers
and eight men escaped. Count Pla-
ten had both. of his legs broken. The
airship drifted to sea. •
The survivors say that they were
on patrol duty over the North Sea
when the weight of snow on the en-
velope caused the airship to sink to
the surface of the water. •
It is understood that at the time
of the .accident the whole Zeppelin
fleet "was patrolling the North Sea
just outside Danish waters,, Zeppe-
lin No..2 being in command.
SEVERAL CASES

The statement in the House of Com-
mons by Dr, McNamara that 15.
cases of meningitis, with eight
deaths resulting, ,occurred in the
Crystal Palace, where there were
0,578 officers and men, shows that

the dread disease was not, eorlfined

DISGUISED AS
• NEUTRAL SHIPS
Britain Thinks Destruction of
American Vessel Will Bring
War With dermany.
A. despatch from London says:
England's naval experts fear mines
far mora than submarines, and it is
believed that German mine -layers,
flying neutral flags and disguised as
fishing vessels are strewing mines,
although there is no absolute con-
firmation for this.
Germany's reply to America
heightens the belief that trouble
between the two countries is likely,
although it is admitted that the ac -
teal destruction of an American
ship may be needed to bring Amer-
ica to the point of a declaration of
war.
It is not considered that Ger-
many's response is a satisfactory:
answer to American demands for
assurances regarding the safety of
American shipsand livts. The sug-
gestion of a convoy is ridiculed for
the reason that neither Germany
nor the convoying warships can ob-
tain safety from floating mines for
Amerioan merchant steamers. In
fact, the convoys themselves would
be imperilled, for under no circum-
stances could the Germans furnish
guides through the mined areas.
Germany intends carrying on her
threatened , bloskade by . combined
Zeppelin sand submarine action.
Great airship activity continues in.

Emperor William, with his bro-

arrangements for blockading Eng-
land.
It is reported that the Germans
have built 120 big mine-Iaying sub-
marines during the last six months,
each with a carrying capacity of
over one hundred mines.
GIRL'S PAIR OF MITTENS.
Story That Many Another Might
Equally Tell.
Ottawa, Feb. 17/. -Tile tale of a
pair of mittens knitted by a pair of
small but eager hands is told in a
letter received here from the battle-
front in France. The mittens were
knitted by Elaine Forcade, a little
French-Canadian girl in Montreal,
who sent them to to Major-General
Sam Hughes, with the request that
they be sent to some one who need-
ed thein' in the trenches at,. the
front. The address of the maker
Was, however, not given. General
Hughes gave the mittens to Captain
Dumont, who in turn sent theme toy
General Legranne of the French
army.. A letter received by General
Hughes states that. the mittens were
-given to a French soldier, and that
they have probably saved his hands
on Many occasions from the cold
and snow of the trenches. It is hard.
to saythrough what adventures and

scenes 1f•.horror the mittens.made.

A despatch from London says
A Norwegian. !steamer and' a French
steamer are the victims of the Ger-
man "blockade" since its formal

An official ,statement issued by
the Admiralty Friday night says
the NotWegian ta.n'k' steamer Bel -

by a German submarine near Folk-
stone. Pieces of the torpedo, it is
asserted, have been found on the
ship,. which did not sink, '-bat was

A despatch to Lloyd's from Dover
reports that the steamer Belridge
is now anchored' in the Downs, and
that arrangements are•being made
for her to proceed to Thames Ha-
ven convoyed by a tug.
The French ship Dinorah, from
Havre for Dunkirk, likewise sur-
vived' her experience. She was. 16.
miles off Dieppe early Friday when
an explosion lifted her stern out of
the water sand stove ;in, a plate on
the port side below the water lane,
Word of the Dinorah's'• predica-
meat was taken to Dieppe by fish-
ing boats, and tugs came to her as-
sistance, towing her safely to port,
where her cargo will be discharged.
A German submarine was reported
off Cape Aifly, France, several days
ago.
The attack on the Dinorah was
the direct cause of .an order sus-
pending tie daily steam' service ,be-
tween Dieppe and England. It is
believed that a number: of hostile
submarines are now in Cthannet wa-
ters and that unusual precautions
should be taken. The U16 is re-
potted to have been the one that
tried to sink the Dinorah.

A despatch from London says:
The British Foreign Office has is,
sued its reply to the Ameiioan note
of Feb. 12 concerning the use of the
United States flag by British mer-
eantile vessels. The docume+nt
shove that the Government will not
bind itself to guarantee that nen-
tral flags will not be employed in
the future. under.th,e ,game .ciecum-
stances as attended the -Lusitania
ease, that gave rise to the protest
from Washington.
The reply states, however, that
the British Government has no in-
tention of advising merchant ship-
ping to use foreign flags as a gen-
eral practice or to resort to them
except -for the purpose of escaping
capture or destruction. It declares
also that if flys obligation. of visit
and search is not adhered to and
neutral ships are sunk without re-
gard to the dictates of -internation-
al 'law • and humanity, the onus for
such action will Test upon the Gov-
ernment ordering that such obli-
gation should he disregarded.
.If this obligation upon a belli-
gerent warship is met, the note
says, the hoisting of a neutral flag

DEAD ON FIELD;
Gerillan Troops Make, Five Counter
Attacks 'oft alto '.1'renohes
Won by Britisyt..
A despatch from Paris ways The
official'"communiques give in detail
a considerable list of triumphs
which have crowned the allied army
(luring the past few days, the xnosb
notable of which is unquestionably
the recapture of the village of Nor-
roy in Lorraine, which the Germans
took on February 13, Iii this con-
nection the War Ofi%oe notes that:
the German general. 'staff has .an-
nounced that Norroy was evatu#I•d
and that the French did not deliver
an attack there. To this an em-
phatic denial is made in.the night
statement, ib declaring the enemy
was ,literally driven out of his posi-
tions at that point.
The snore of an allied offensive
has been measured on every occa-
sion by the strength of the counter-
attacks with which the Germans`
have replied. • The enemy's efforts
show that the recent progressof the
allies Thee b;.e�energpet, decided? for
the .Germans have launched assault
after assault in a vain effort to re-
, cower the ground they have .lost.
The fighting has been unusually
violent, particularly in Champagne,
along the front of Souain, Perthes
and Beausejoux. ' There the Ger-
mane made tremendous efforts to
recapture the trenches• taken from
them, and were not repulsed until
the French infantry swarmed from
their positions in an irresistible and
sanguinary bayonet attack. The
German regiments engaged suffered
losses from one-half to one-quarter
of their complemelts�.
The capture of a position south of
the Sudelkopf in Alsace by the
French in the engagement turns out
to have been -a most valuable accom-
plishment. The Germans were dri-
ven from an important defence work
in which the allies found a vast
amount of war material, including
bombs; bomb-thiewing machines,
rifles, breast plates .and other muni-
tions, together with thousands of
cartridges,
Admiralty Makes Report
On Mine Sweeping,
A. despatch from London says
The Admiralty issued the following
official report of mine -sweeping op-
erations from Dec. 19 to Jan. 31:
"In clearing the mine fields laid
by the enemy off Scarborough there
was nothing at the outset to indi-
cate the position of the mines al-
though gh the. losses to mercantile
ships showed the presence of the
danger,
"Tlie necessity of ascertaini g,,,
the position of the mines eompell
us to work'at all times, thus largely
increasing the danger. A ' large
number of mines. were swept•up and
destroyed, enabling shipping to
p.a,ss in daylight. One trawler was
sunk and two damaged on Decem-
ber 19, one man being killed. On
January 6 a trawler was blown up.
Three explosions under the stern of
a trawler, on December 19 made a
hole that was stopped up and the .
boat was saved by pumping her un-
til land was reached.
""The services of the commanders
and crews detailed to this work
showed great courage and devotion,
'Several decorations will be ,award-
ed."
