No Abatement PKTROGRAD, via London, Oct. 10, There is no abatement in the violence of the struggle nthe southwestern front, in the Pleasant Hill country around Brzezany. the so-called Podo-lian Switzerland.

the roar of guns never ceases. It is a huge battle, with gallant trench raids In the intervals of tho big attacks, with battles in the air and with great debris of destruction. Yet so far the line has hardly changed. Here and there the Russians have seized enemy trenches and held them against violent counter-attacks, but the enemy's front Is not broken and his resistance Is still stubborn. The Russians are only a mile and a half from Mirzezany.

They are near Halicz. They are battering at the gate of Vladimir-Volynskl, and It is argued here that it is just because the Russians are on the brink of great successes that the Germans' resistance 'is so desperate. Shake Whole Front It does not matter much whether Halicz falls, or Zlochow or Vladimir-Volynskl; wherever the Russians break through now the effect will be to shake the whole German eastern front, and that Is a possibility which the Germans, if they intend to continue the war, are bound to do their very utmost to avert. It is a struggle tht.t will largely determine the configuration of the eastern front during the winter. Victory- tor the Russians at any point on the present fighting front means, moreover, a great weakening of the pressure In Roumania and acceleration of tho Balkan campaign, and al ready one indirect consequence, of the strain imposed on the Teutons In Galicia is the steady progress of the Russo-Roumanian udvance in Dob-rudja.

(Canadian Associated Press) Canndhin Journa lists today visited one of the great Mritish bases where troops are receiv ed and finally trained for the front. In every place the Canadians were spoken of In the highest terms.

They are the hest dressed and the best behaved of troops, a commandant said. They may not be as smart, but in essentials they are as well trained as the famous guards. A general from Winnipeg is highly spoken of and given much credit by Imperial officers for the general standard of morale. In a recent demonstration put on for a big general commandant told the officers In charge of the departments that they could pick their men from all troops, but they must have the very best. Thirteen instructors chose troops from the Dominion.

Those thirteen were out of sixteen in a great Imperial camp, and were all Instructors of imperials. The correspondent also visited the Canadian convalescent home for officers at Dieppe. This hospital is run hy a Toronto woman, who is doing splendid work.

Increased activity HERALD SAYS PUT AN END TO BLOCKADE Papers of United States Talk About the Latest German Activity AGREE THAT SITUATION IS MOST CRITICAL German Paper in New York Gives a Most Typical Hun View (By ta4 Win) NHW YORK, Oct. 10.

Commenting on the operations of the German submarine or submarines in waters adjacent to the Cnlted Slates coast, tho New York Herald editorially: "A virtual blockade of New York and other I'nited States ports has been created. There can be no avoiding the Issue raised by these nets. It is not whether In individual cases there has been technical adherence to a policy of warning. It Is that submarine operations In the lanes or sea travel leading immediately to United States ports must not be tolerated. "Practically the neutrality of the United States has been grossly violated by the coming of the U-63 Into the United States port to acquire information concerning the whereabouts of vessels at sea and her prompt departure from that port upon her mission of destruction.

Put An End To It "It is the highest duty of the government of the United States to go to eny length that may be necessary to put an end to this Prussian warfare in United States waters and without a tfay's delay." The New York Times says: "One rash act a single mistake on the part of the U-boat commander, causing tho loss of cvn one United fctateser's life, would provoke instant notion by the United States government. Therecfter dispatches to Am bassador von Bernstorff could be banded to him in Berlin, and relations between the two governments would be at an end." Tho New York World says: "The U-63 showed yesterday that she Is instructed to pass ships sailing un der the United States flag. But if a mistake should be made In the case of an United State ship, or if United States citizens lose their lives under the flags of belligerent ships questions will rise for the United States govern ment which Germany note never sufficiently covered." A German View A tvDical German view was ex pressed by the New York Staats Zelt ung, which said: "Although maintaining in port the ellence of a sphinx, Lieut. Capt. Rose was not m.iny hours out of United States territorial waters before he availed himself of the opportunity of answering collectively all questions as to his mission on this side of the Atlantic.

"They were pimple indeed who thought that the German government ivas paying postage on routine correspondence with submarines of the latest and most expensive type. They know now that it was not. "It was clean work, according to all reports to hand, without loss of life, snd unattended by any of those invasions of our neutral rights which bave so often attached to the operations of British warships on our coasts.

The appearance of the German submarine on the United States coast created excitement in local shipping circles today.

The North German Lloyd steamer Neckar, which was stationed in dock beside the submarine Deutschland during its stay here, left the piers of the Eastern Forwarding company at Locust Foint and went west to anchor in the river. Then the Rhein, her sister ship, got busy coaling at Locust Point by taking alongside two lighters of coal and had their contents put on board as fast, as machines and men could work.

10. A day and a night, without further news of the l'-53 has not. quieted any of the anxiety in circles caused by the activities of the submarine commerce raider at the bend of the Great North Atlantic highway off Nantucket. If anything, the disappearance of the German U-boat and the mystery regarding her present location increased the precautions taken by owners and agents of vessels of the Entente nations. Trans-Atlantic liners and freight steamers approached this port today hy usual courses which carried them far out of the customary lane.
