Petrograd, March 31—(Via London.) —A review of the German defensive movement in the Niemen district, to which, it is said, great importance vse attached, is contained in an official statement issued by the war office. The communication follows: “From official documents which we have captured, it seems that the Germans attached enormous importance to their offensive movement in the trans-Niemen district, which failed on March 27. The principal task was assigned to the thirty-first division,(supported by three reserve regiments, with a large body of cavalry. These troops advanced from Kalwarys on Krauss, with orders to push forward at all costs to Lozdzieje and to cut oft Russian forces, which were engaging a German army west of that point. Captured Gyn Turned oh Foe. “During an engagement in which we tcok German trenches on March 27 near the village of Vakh, in the direction of Sotrelenki, Captain Suvareff leaped into an enemy trench captured a machine gun, the fire of v-hich he turned against a German reserve force. c “The Germans in the execution of this plan made prodigious efforts ana <~ven attempted to envelop on the ice of Lake Dusia our right wing, which w«» s operating north of Lozdzieje. Moving over the ice of Lake Dusja the Germans also attempted to turn our position in the passage between the lake and Simno. In two instances, however, near the villages of Siemieniaka and Metelica we developed counter attacks against German troops which had penetrated our rear and an- ’ “During the last two days on the t left bank of the Vistula the Germans have been very economical in their artillery fire. It would appear that the German forces in that region have been considerably weakened. Germany Claims Vivtory.

Our booty in this fighting until Monday evening was 3,000 prisoners, seven machine ?uiis, one cannon and several ammunition cars. “On the Skwa, near Klimkl, after a Russian attack failed, we captured two Russian officers and 600 men. Near Oloyny, on the left bank of the Omulew, two Russian night attacks wer e repulsed.

London, March 31 —England’s heavy losses in killed and wounded on the western battle front were referred to by the archbishop of York in an address at Hull, where he complained of the inadequacy of official information on the subject. The casualty list, he declared, is so compiled as to keep the people in the dark as to the magnitude of the losses. For instance, he pointed out, it did net show what people had learned privately that of 400 officers of one infantry division which lately left England only 44 are left in active service; of 12,000 men only 2,330; of to officers of one regiment, only 1; of 1,200 men, only 300.

LONDON, ENGLAND — The Elder Dempster company, owner of the Elder lin e of steamers, of which the West African liner Falaba was one, announce that apparently about 125 persons lost their lives by the sinking of the vessel. The Germans made no effort to save any of the survivors, it was declared by the skipper at the Eileen Emma. A telegram from Cardiff said that sixty-two first class and thirty-four second class passen gers pav e been saved! and that nothing is known of the (fate of nearly fifty more passengers.; Only fprty-six members of the crew of nearly 120 have been landed at Cardiff. Officials .of the Elder,Mine here privately expressed the fear that many of the liner’s crew went down with her when she was sunk by a German torpedo. Several are known to have been killed by the explosion that wrecked her engine room. It is now believed that other boat loads of passengers nnd crew were thrown into the water by the capsizing of their boats and went to the bottom. Thirteen men of the crew of the Liverpool steamer Aguila were killed or drowned when the Aguila was torpedoed off Bishop islands, according to a dispatch received here from Fishguard. The submarine commander gav e the crew four minutes in which to leave the ship, but shot a torpedo while the boats were being put over the sides. The chief engineer and the boatswain were instantly killed by the explosion and eleven others were either killed outright or were thrown into the water and drowned. SHIP MEN ASK DRY BRITAIN David Llqyd-George and Naval Men Receive Deputation. LONDON, ENG. — David LloydGeorge, chancellor of the exchequer, accompanied by other officials and prominent naval and army officers received deputation from the ship builders employers’ federation who urged the imperative necessity of total prohibition of the sale of intoxicants during the war, not only in saloons but in private clubs and other licensed premises. The federation’s representatives declared that partial prohibition is useless and that the concensus of opinion among the workers themselves favored total prohibition. Notwithstanding the fact that work is carried on Sundays and in other overtime, they said, the output actually is less than it was before the war, and in many cases the workmen work fewer hours. Eighty per cent of this, the employers’ deputation said, can be attributed to drink. It is admitted that there are many and strenuous exceptions but the efforts of these are overbalanced by the idleness of others.
