GERMAN, SUBMARINES ACTIVE

ANOTHER BRITISH STEAMER L SUNK ; NEUTRAL VESSELS IN TROUBLE HOSTILE AEROPLANE IN; ' ENGLAND ' DEFENCELESS TOWNS ATTACKED NEW MOVE, IN THE EASTERN THEATRE 1 'The blockade war continues to be waged—mostly on paper yetbetween tile German buccaneer war staff, on .the one hand, and the Allies and, neutral nations cn the other. Another British ship a ■ small collier—has been sunk off the Isle of Man, but the attitude of British sea-captains—from tramps to liners—is one of contemptuous / scorn ; they sail .out of port just as s tlie.y did before. Neutral ships ' have encountered trouble, and the circumstances surrounding the min- ' ing and sinking of an American steamer off the Ems Estuary is already the subject of pertinent inquiry by the United States Government, 'whose future policy on. this matter, appears to be, guided by events at sea rather than by words on the paper of "Notes." A Ger- ■ man aeroplane has made a flight across England in a line west of Harwich, and dropped bombs at, three places, doing daniage, but killing no one. ,so far as latest accounts convey. A big move is pending in the Eastern theatre, where the German operations in East ■ Prussia are believed to serve as a diversion to screen the development of an important move in the Carpathians and Galicia. The t Allies in the West are making steady progress.
