His efforts to save the man‘s life proved useless, the bullet having pierced the heart. _â€"The Press Association has issued ghe following under a Birmingham <dlate : ti There was only one eyeâ€"witness to the crime. He is Ernest Murphy, a newsboy. About six. o‘clock. he called at Massey‘s residence for his weekly allowance for papers. The Davies girl answered the door and t@d him that Mr. Massey was not in. Murphy turned to leave, and as he did so he saw Massey approachâ€" ing along the street. He walked toward him and the girl shut the d ; Massey gave him the money, l2 e boy continued north. He had only proceeded a short disâ€" tance when he heard a shot. He stopped and looked back. He saw Massey standing at the foot of the steps of his house. The girl stepped out of the house and fired again, and he saw Massey fall on the sideâ€" walk.

Harbor. of the Foreign Office by AmerlCan newspaper correspondents. Neil Primrose, the new Underâ€"Secretary for Foreign Affairs, exemplifying the friendliness felt for America, had previously arranged. with the censor to transmit anything by cable that the correspondents might desire. He said : ‘‘England desires neither supâ€" pression nor compromise. The Forâ€" eign Office is ignorant of the Lusiâ€" tania incident, but the Merchant Shipping Act of 1894 says that if a person uses the British flag and assumes the British national charâ€" acter aboard a ship wholly or partâ€" ly owned by persons unqualified to own a British ship, for the purpose of making the ship appear to be British, the ship shall be subject to forfeiture unless the act was done for the purpose of escaping capture by an enemy, or by a foreign warâ€" ship in the exercise of its belligerâ€" ent rights. Therefore, if England acknowledged and grants the right of nonâ€"English ships to escape capâ€" ture England holds that she is enâ€" titled to the same privilege. ‘"‘Undoubtedly Captain Dow, as well as other English captains and ship owners, is familiar with the Act of 1894, which is a perfect anâ€" swer to the German charge that England is notifying her ships to use neutral flags. No such orders were ever issued by the British Governâ€" ment."" Smith at once lefté for the house. Follis remained on guard at the front of the house, Smith went to the rear and Brown went in. Brown commenced his search in the baseâ€" ment. There he found Massey‘s 14â€" yearâ€"old son, who knew nothing of what had happened until Brown told him. Brown continued his search and was on his way to the second storey of the house when the girl, who was on the top floor, ealied to him to come up. Brown told her to come down. She did so, and they met on a landing on the stairway. The girl had the revolver in her hand, but handed it over to Brown when he asked her for it. Brown refused to say what converâ€" sation took place.‘ He followed the girl to her room, where she put on her coat and hat. She was then taken to the Markham and London Streets station and from there to the Detective Department. The girl was absolutely cool and collected, and apparently either did not regret or realize what she had done. She made no attempt to reâ€" sist arrest, waiting quietly for the officers to take her from the house to the station, from the station to the Detective Department, and from headquarters to the Court Street station, where she was conâ€" fined for the night. The motive for the ~crime is a mystery. The girl came to Canada from England two years ago next May, and practically all that time she had been in the service of the Masseys. As far as can be learned she was well treated and harbored no grudge against any member of the family. set afire by German shells and burned to the ground. The Gerâ€" mans are said to have prohibited the people in the district under their control from going outside their towns. Barbed wire fences have been built around the villages, this step being considered necessary owing to the prevalence of numerous spies. RUSSIANS CROSS RIVER ANGERAPP Important German Defence Prussia Broken Down Invader. A despatch from London says : The Russian army invading East Prussia from the west has forced its way across the River Angerapp and has driven the Germans from the town of Gross Medunishken on the west bank. The announcement by the general staff of the passage of the Angerapp and the occupation of Gross Medunishken is the most imâ€" portant news that has been received from East Prussia since the revelaâ€" tion that Tilsit was menaced by the second army of invasion. The Angerapp was a strong naâ€" tural defence. of which the Germans made effective use in blocking the Russian march toward Insterburg. For many weeks German batteries posted on the west bank of the river defeated every effort by the Russians to force a crossing. Now that it is officially announced that the Germans have been driven from the west bank a rapid advance by the Russian forces may be expected. They have occupied forty miles of East Prussian territory and have conquered the region north of the Mazurian Lakes. Simultaneously the Russian adâ€" vance toward West Prussia has gained momentum, with the capture of Skempe, a town near the border, and about 32 miles southâ€"east of Thorn. The Russian line runs from the north bank of the Vistula to the region of Mlawa and is within 20 miles of the West Prussian frontier. The main fighting is on the front of Lipno and Biezun, and the official resistance in this region is rapidly weakening. The U. S. Chamber of Commerce Denounces the Bill as Unâ€" American. A _ despatch from‘ Washington says : The annual convention of the Chambers of. Commerce of the United States overwhelmingly opâ€" posed President Wilson‘s Ship Purâ€" chase Bill. This vote is regarded here as the most impressive eviâ€" dence that has yet appeared as to the attitude of the business men of the country toward the proposed Governmentâ€"ownership legislation. The vote came on a report by a special committee on the upbuilding of the merchant marine. The maâ€" jority of this committee, headed by William Harris Douglas, reported that "‘Government operation is unâ€" American, is likely to be more exâ€" travagant and exhaustive than priâ€" vate control, and will seriously inâ€" terfere with individual initiative as regards the enterprise of our citiâ€" zens."" SHIP PURCHASE CONDEMNED. This, of course,, amounted to a condemnation . of the President‘s plan. The committee itself proâ€" posed a plan for the development of the United States merchant marine. The vote on adopting the report was 163 for and 90 against. "‘The waters around Great Briâ€" tain and Ireland,.. including the whole English Channel, are declarâ€" ed a war zone from and after Feb. 18, 1915. Every enemy. merchant ship found in this war zone will be destroyed, even if it is impossible to avert dangers which threaten the crew and her passengers. Germany Announces Reckless War On Passenger and Freight Traffic. A despatch from Berlin says : The German Admiralty issued the folâ€" lowing communication : _ Oe ‘"Also, neutral ships in the war zone are in danger, as in conseâ€" quence of the misuse of neutral flags ordered by the British Government on Jan. 31, and in view of the hazâ€" ards of naval warfare, it cannot alâ€" ways be avoided that attacks meant for enemy ships endanger neutral ships. Shipping northward, around the Shetland Islands, in the eastern basin of the North Sea and in a strip of at least 30 nautical miles in breadth along the Dutch coast is endangered in the same way.""

Members of the crew say that a catastrophe was prevented by the promptitude of the captain, who, observing the white track made by the torpedo, altered the course of his vessel, bringing it sharply around in a halfâ€"cirele. The proâ€" jectile passed harmlessly astern. The light was good at the time.

BRITAIN‘S RETALIATION: Germans i n Masses Rush to Dsath in Effort to Break Russian Front A despatch from Petrograd says : The bulletins transmitted by the generals commanding the regions of most violent fighting â€"contain news more pleasing to the Russian people than has been received since the Germanic allfes threw. the weight of their strength to the batâ€" tle fronts of Eastern Europe.: The Russians have seized both banks of the head waters of the River Inster, in East Prussia, a success which enâ€" ables them to deliver a flank attack on Insterburg from the north, while the forces that have passed the Angerapp to the south advance straight west ; the army which drove the Austrians from the Dukla Pass in the Carpathians has reached the River Laborceza, in Northern Hunâ€" gary ; while the Germans west of Warsaw have been repulsed after the most savage fighting. HARD FIGHTNE IN POLAND The Russian armies took the ofâ€" fensive directly west of Warsaw, at the junction of the Vistula and the Bzura, crossing the latter river and dislodging Germans from a bridgeâ€" head at Dakhowa. It seems apparâ€" ent that the Russians have assumed the initiative in this quarter as a direct result of the severe reverse they inflicted on the Germans in the Bolimow region, when a threeâ€" day battle reached its climax. Upon a front of seven miles, with Borjimow and Goumine as centres of attack, the Germans concentratâ€" ed seyen divisions and hurled more than 105,000 of their finest infantry against the Russian line. They deâ€" livered attack after attack, revertâ€" ing to methods which characterized their earlier operations in Belgium and France, and deploying great masses of men over open ground, careless apparently of the terrible cost in killed and wounded if the way to Warsaw could be opened. A detail which illustrates the violence of the effort is the official statement that some of the German divisions of 15,000 men charged the Russian line on a front only a verst (twoâ€" thirds of a mile) wide. In these seeâ€" tions the German infantry advanced in closeâ€"pressed masses, attacking at the doubleâ€"quick shoulder to shoulder. The attacks were preceded by terâ€" rific artillery fire, in which the Germans employed 100 batteries of mortars and field guns, probably six hundred cannon in all. There seems to be no doubt that Marshal von Hindenburg had ordered Genâ€" eral Mackenzen to hew through the Russian line â€"at any cost. Such fighting had never before been witâ€" nessed on the eastern front. Complete preparedness and the steadiness of the Russian infantry balked the German plans..

A despatch from Bassari, Italy, says: Riots growing out of the agiâ€" A despatch from London says: The Official Press Bureau has made public an official despatch received from Cairo, which states that the Turkish army is in full retreat eastâ€" ward.

From early morning until late at night the German divisions threw themselves against the Russian corps, the attacks rolling up and breaking like waves against a rocky coast. The field of battle between Goumine and Borjimow was very largely flat and treeless, marked by occasional farmhouses. As the Gerâ€" mans swept» forward whole files were destroyed by Russian machine guns and rifle fire. But gaps were rapidly closed, and the. Germans struggled onward with bulldog deâ€" termination. â€"Every attack ended at the Russian trenches, where the Germans, unable by sheer courage and determination to break through solid hedges of bayonets, broke and fled back to their lines. The Germans maintained a conâ€" centrated fire from 100 batteries. The shells fell thickly. The earth seemed to tremble. Seven or eight projectiles dropped simultaneously in almost the same spot. The Gerâ€" mans attempted to turn the Russian flank and failed. . Near Borjimow the Russians attacked furiously. They carried three lines of trenches. The Germans fell in such numbers that their bodies were piled breastâ€" high. They had fifty machine guns playing upon the Russian line. Of these the Russians captured fourâ€" teen. The Germans were using shells filled with poisonous gases. When these exploded near the Rusâ€" sians fumes were thrown off that irritated the eyes." When night came on the Germans were broken and exhausted. Some detachments maintained themselves a short distance east of Borjimow and in the town of Goumine. The Russians struck immediately, delivâ€" ering fieree counterâ€"attacks _ with fresh corps held in reserve.. Gou: mine was wrested from the Gerâ€" mans. At Wolaszyd Lowiecka the Germans fought with the fury of deâ€" spair. â€" Battalions were annihilated. Whole companies were wiped out of existence. The net result of the three days of battle at Goumineâ€"Borjimow was the recapture by the Russians of all positions lost in the past week of renewed German effort. It is estiâ€" mated that the Germans lost at least 25,000 in killed and wounded, and that the _ Russian casualties were not much less.
