The shipping board has agreed to arter the Italian government approx imately 25 American commandeered stee! ships or an aggregate of 100,000 dead weight tons, to relieve Italy's shortage of shipping to transport vital ly needed supplies. George Roussous, Greek minister to the United States, expressed in fitting drases the friendship of the new gov- -rment of Greece for the United States. The felicitation was on the occasion when the new minister pre fented his letters of credit to Presi dent Wilson, who. in turn, assured him if -te United States' appreciation of entry of Greece into the war. Another twenty million dollar loan has been extended France. The total credits the United States vernment has extended to the allied nations is SiS2S.400.000.

The Teuton advance against the Ital ians has so far resulted in the canture of not less than thirty thousand pris oners together with over three hun dred guns. The Germans who were so active re cently in the Russian Riga sector are retreating. The Russians have come to life in that section, and are show ing some of their oldtime ftehtine- ability. Fresh gains are reported bv the Brit ish and French in the Ypres sector The French in Flanders report some gams, but military critics attach very little importance to any of the recent fighting in this section. It is mostly of a tactical nature, and the result cannot be foretold yet. The French continue to hammer the German crown prince north of the Aisne river. A cablegram from a "French sea port" says: Escaping from a German submarine after a bitter fight lasting nearly four hours and with seven of her crew wounded, two of them seri ously, an American steamer arrived there from an American port. The timely intervention of an American tor- 1 pedo boat saved the ship from being sent to the bottom. Roumania will fight to the bitter end until the struggle for the freedom of the world and the restoration of the rights of small nations is achieved, the Roumanian queen says. While the allied troops were busily engaged in consolidating: nosition's won in Flanders, the French forces of General Petain struck a mighty and unexpected blow against the German line northeast of Soissons and made some of th most important gains of terrain since they threw back the army of the German crown nrince which was besieging Verdun. The stroke was made over a front of about six miles. Numerous important posi tions fell one by one into the hands of the French, together with more than 7,500 Germans, an enormous amount of war material and 25 heavy and field guns were captured. The Austro-Swiss frontier has been closed owing to the serious internal situation in Austria. Several munition factories were wrecked in recent food riots in Vienna, Brunn and Laibash, the rioters being mostly women. Two German dreadnaughts, one cruiser, twelve torpedo boats and one transport were put out of action by the Russians in the fighting around the islands in the Gulf of Riga, but ! their ultimate fate is unknown. I It has been definitely established that six German torpedo boats were ! sunk in the fighting at Riga. The 1 Russians lost the battleship Slava and a large torpedo boat. Lloyd-George, British premier, says Germany is plotting for another Irish revolution, and that arrangements al ready have been made to land arms on the Celtic isle. British casualties reported during the week totaled 17,041, divided as fol lows: Officers killed or died of their wounds, 362; men, 3,018.

AUSTRO-GERMANS TAKE OVER 100,000 ITALIAN PRISONERS Whole Italian Armv Retreats antr Every Line Is Wavering. Berlin (via London) (Bulletin.) The capture of 100,000 Italians and more than 700 guns is reported in the official communication from general headquarters, which declares that the Italian second and third armies are in retreat. The text of the statement reads: "The Italian second and third ar mies are in retreat towards the west. Our pursuit is advancing rapidly from the mountains as far as the sea. Up to the present 100,000 prisoners and 700 guns have been enumerated." Berlin (via London, British Admi ralty, per Wireless Press). The Aus trians and Germans have forced their way through the mountains to the plains of northern Italy, capturing the town of Cividale, the war office an nounces. The city of Gorizia, on the Isonzo, also has been captured. The number of Italian prisoners, according to the report, is increased to more than 80.000. The announcement follows: "Rapid development of the united attack on the Isonzo again brought entire success yesterday. The Italian fdfees which sought to prevent our di visions from emerging from the moun. tains were thrown back by powerful thrusts. In the evening German troops forced their way Into the burn ing town of Cividale. the first town in point of position in the plan. "The Italian front as far as the Ad riatic sea is wavering. Our troops are pressing forward on the whole line. "The number of prisoners has been ''nc.reased to more than 80.000 and the number of guns to more than 600."
