NO GERMAN FLAG T 0 FLY SEAS
UNTIL INDEMNITY IS PAID
British Navy i.o Constitute Itself Army. of Occu-
pation of the Oceans During and After War
A despatch from London east: No
German flag is to be permitted to fly
on any ocean; no neutral vessel owned
in whole or in part by German is to
be, permitted to ply the seven seas
until the indemnity which the allies
will clernand is paid in full -this is
the authoritative plan of the British
Admiralty.
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
occnnation 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 ha 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 there
is every reason for stating that the
highest authorities believe it will be a
decisive factor in the world struggle
that is now being fought.

ITS COMPLETELY EVACUATED
A despatch from London says: It
IS officially announced that the coin-
plete evacuation of the Gallipoli
Peninsula has been successfully car-
ried out.
The official communication issued on
Sunday evening says: "General Sir
Charles Monro reports the complete
eVaduation of Gallipoli has been suc-
cessfully carried out. A11 the guns
and howitzers were got away, with
the exception of seventeen worn out
guts, which were blown up before
leaving. Our casualties amounted to
one member of the British rank and
file wounded. There were no casual-
ties among the French. General Mon-
ro state that the aecomplishment of
this difficult task was due to Generals
Birdwood and Davies, and invaluable
assistance rendered in an operation of
the highest difficulty by Admiral de

The Week's Developments in the War.
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 inreadiness 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 Bukawina may be expected at any time.
Activity of enemy submarines in the Mediterranean has been responsible for the loss of several large liners,
including the Persia and. the Glengyle.
No advance has yet been made by the Central Powers in Saloniki, and 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 Hartiinannsweitlerkopf. 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.

IT IS OFFICIALLY STATED
Situation Relieved Through the Prompt Action of
the Entente Powers
A despatch from London says: The
interest in the fate of Serbia'e 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 mountaius, 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 reenperate?"
In reply Lord Robert Cecil, Under-
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, said
that there was a considerable body of
the Serbian army at Scutari, whore 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
Iconcerning it.
Telegrams from Athens say that the
, number of Serbian refugees in Greek
1 territory are now 40,000, of whom
16,000 are at Salonica.
