The British navy, to use the words of the source of this news --an official high in Government circles -will here- after constitute itself an army of occupation of the high seas, both dur- ing and after the war. Germany may take and occupy countries and exact +monthly indemnities as she has .been doing in Belgium, but the British navy proposes to go a step further. With the full consent of the Government it will stranglehold Germany's overseas trade even after the war if :necessary, until the peace terms enunciated by Premier Asquith are fulfilled to the letter. In a word, Germany may continue { her occupation of territory in Europe, but the might of England's sea power will be steadfastly exerted, and theree {is every reason for stating that the 1 highest authorities believe it will be a decisive factor in the world struggle that is now being fought. SERB ARMY NOT IN DISTRESS - IT IS FICIALLY STATED Situation Relieved Through the Prompt Action of th:: Entente Powers A despatch from London says: The interest in the fate of Serbia's refugee army was shown by the question ask- ed in the House of Commons on Thursday "whether a considerable part of the Serbian army is in dis- tress at Scutari after having suffered great privations in the retreat through the mountains, and whether his Majesty's Government will offer the Serbian army some suitable local- ity in the Mediterranean area where. the men may rest and recuperate?" In reply Lord Robert Cecil, Under- Secretary for Foreign Affairs, said that there was a considerable body of the Serbian army at Scutari, where at first the men had been in great dis- tress. But the situation, he added, had now been largely relieved. The Entente allies, the Secretary said, had considered the matter raised in, the latter part of the question, but he was unwilling to make any announcement concerning it. Telegrams from Athens say that the number of Serbian refugees in Greek territory are now 40,000, of whom 6,000 are at Salonica. TO LOWER THE DEATH RATE.

Russian warships have been bombarding Varna and are . reported to have destroyed the mine -fields protecting this chief Bulgarian port, Bombardment at closer range is now expected and troop -ships are said to be held in: readiness to land Russian troops near the city. The outstanding development of the week has been the new Russian offensive in Galicia. Details are still lacking, but the Central Powers report' determined attacks against the Austrian lines over a front of nearly two hundred miles, running north • from the Rumanian border. This new Galician drive has brought. the Russian forces to the heights dominating Czernowitz. The Czar's troops have captured strong positions near the city, and the fall of the capital of Bukowina may be expected at any time. Activity of enemy submarines in the Mediterranean has been responsible for the loss of several large liner's, including the Persia and the Gleogyle. • No advance has yet been made by the Central Powers in Saloniki, aid the Allies' position there is now con- sidered impregnable. On the Western front there has been considerable activity in Alsace, heavy fighting having taken place for possession of Hartsmannsweitlerkopf. Elsewhere on the Western front the fighting has been limited to artillery duels and minor engagements. British monitors have again shelled German positions on the coast. GEN.
