However, accord ing to trustworthy reports, the sub marine requested the steamer Falaba to put passengers and crew into lifeboats whnn other ships came up. Lately Eng lish merchant ships have, been provided with guns by the British government and advisedto ram or otherwise attack Ger man submarines. This advice has re peatedly been followed In order to win promised rewards. Military necessity consequently forced the submarine to act quickly, which made granting of longer space of Urns for the saving of Uvea Im possible. ' 'Too German government regrets the sacrifices of human lives, but both Brit ish ships 'and neutral passengers on board ships were warned urgently and in time not to cross the war sone.

"Before leaving, however, 1 received a letter from the American minister at Bruseels, Brand Whltiock, saying that the reason given him by General von Blsslug for our expulsion was my rela tionship to the British minister at The Hague, Sir Alan Johnstone, who married my sifter, and the fact that I had stayed with him at The Hague on my way to Belgium. Accordingly, we returned to Holland on March 31, and since then have been staying with the American minister at The Hague awaiting instructions from Washington. "In entering and leaving Belgium, Mrs. Tlnchot and I were searched by the Ger man military authorities.

Althouph the French are conducting a sustained and somewhat formidable offensive! between the Meuse and the Moselle in an effort to dislodge the Hermann from St. Mihlel, tho southernmost point of their line, the demeanor of the allied armies as a whole indicates a disposition to await tho outcome of Ryssia's gigantic plan to forco tbe Carpathian barrier.
