Croix River City Officials Stunned by Figures Submitted, The city officials, who have been Petrograd, February 9 (via London) The engagements are growing in intensity at the two extremities of the eastern battle front, in East Prussia as well as in the Carpathians, according to information reaching Petrograd today. The same news sets forth that on the Warsaw front the battle has subsided. The flighting line from the Province of Flock, In Russian Poland, as far north as Tilsit, in East Prussia, is virtually continuous. The Germans today apparently are taking the offensive from Gumbinnen and the Mazurian Lakes as far south as Pipno, in Poland, on the right bank of the Vistula. A dispatch reaching here from Warsaw says that among the prisoners taken by the Russians in the fighting at the junction of the Bzura River was a number of German women.

According to this message, some of these women were found with rifles In their hands, in the first line of trenches. Desperate Fighting in East Prussia. London, February 9 In East Prussia, where matters have been at a standstill for some time, the fighting apparently is assuming a more desperate character. This may account for the lull on the Warsaw front, as the East Prussian forces may have been reinforced by some of Field Marshal Von Hindenburg's veterans. The fighting on the western front has been taking its usual monotonous course with sporadic infantry assaults on the trenches to an accompaniment of artillery firing.

Senator Jones of Washington held the floor from 6:45 last night until 9:13 this his actual speech lasting thirteen hours and III ty-live minutes. During this speech he read most of President Wilson's "New Freedom" to the Senate.

At 4 o'clock this morning he was talking to an audience of three.

President Wilson said today he was awaiting the German Government's memorandum being forwarded by Ambassador Gerard before reaching a decision on what attitude to take. Ho said Germany's first proclamation on the subject contained many question: on which the I'nited States would like further explanation.

The President takes the view that the war zone proclaimed bv Germany does not constitute a blockade, or even a paper blockade. He stated that It was simply a warning. The President himself said that action by Congress could not control the use of the American flag by foreign ships and that restrictions on such practices would have to come through international agreement. Administration studies War Zone Order. The Administration, it was indicated, is deeply studying the war zone question with the view of determining its possible effect on American shipping and will seek to get full information from Germany on exactly what was intended and what measures will be taken to insure American vessels from attack.

From Rich Mrs. Martha Hickman of 230 Seventh avenue, Brooklyn, told a remarkable story this afternoon of alleged neglect at the German Odd Fellows' Home In Yonkers in connection with the death of her father, Albert Nielsen, at the home in June last. Mrs.

Hickman declared that although she and Nielson's wife made arrangements to be notified by telephone from the home In case anything went wrong, they were not Informed of the man's death until they learned of it from the Fordham Hospital, where he was removed. The accident happened on a Friday. It was on a Sunday they heard of It. Mrs. Hickman declared that when she inquired at the home to learn why no notification had been sent of the accident the superintendent said to her: "Do you think that we have nothing else to do than to notify you people? Why.

we have buried persons from this home without notifying their relatives at all." "You had our telephone number and that is no excuse," she says she told the superintendent. mond, particularly, a howl of protest is expected when residents there learn and holding the fort with one speeaker (Special to The Eagle.) of the almost unprecedented jump of Albany, February 9 The much thirty-eight points in the rate. heralded bill to reduce the size of the Brooklyn will come out best or an LIBYA REBELLION EXTENDS; New York City Board of Education at a time.

High officials apparently attached much importance to both the Lusitania and war zone situations, and' it was made clear today that every effort will be made to protect American rights. President Wilson told callers that up to the present no other neutral governments have officially asked the co-operation of the I'nited States. Discussing the general International situation, President Wilson said today that he was surprised at the leugtil of time taken by Great Britain in forwarding its linal reply to the American note on the interference with American shipping. Cabinet members declared uniformly today that the Lusitania flag incident and the subject of iermany's proclamation of a naval war zone around the British Isles had not been discussed at today's Cabinet meeting.

At the home she was told that a call was sent in for a physician twice, but that no physician responded. It was only when Nielsen called for his wife at the hospital, according to Hickman, that the Fordham Hospital authorities were able to get In touch with his relatives. "I thought there was something wrong up there." she said. "The superintendent and the inmates told conflicting stories. I thought it was very odd that we were not told of this thing at once." Mrs.

Hickman said that Nielsen's body was bruised but that his head an abandonment of the measure may follow. They are trying now to learn If the enemies lines can be crushed by an overwhelming attack.
