THE GERMAN BLOCKADE
To-day's war news contains interesting references to the recent successful operations of the Allies on the Great Dune in Flanders, and also suggests that the Germans are meditating an attempt, to break the Allies' battle-front at one of the two points, the recent character of the fighting at Bagatelle, in the Argonne indicating a demonstration in that region. ,Mr. Martin Donohoe, the "Daily Chronicle's" active correspondent, has turned up in the Bukowina theatre, and sends a story of the Russian operations iii the Carpathians. A late message conveys a stirring account of the recent tremendous conflict on the Bznra, when von Hindenberg, castiifg strategy to the winds, hurled huge masses of men at the Russian. line in a Tain endeavour to break its resistance. There are no fresh developments in Egypt. We publish te-dayi a reference to the fact-that he men of H.M.S. Philomel, of the New Zealand naval unit, have been in action, and there have been several casualties. The action of the Cunard liner Lusitania in hoisting the American flag when off the Irish Coast on the run home to Liverpool has evoked some excited comment in the American Press, whilo the propriety of the, ruse is also being canvassed in London. The German threat of a general blockade still continues to occupy considerable space for controversy; an amusing sidelight on the whole business is the arrival of the much discussed steamer Wilhelmiua' at the British port of. Falmouth, "through stress of weather."
