British lose ground north of Frezenberg. Italian pressure north-east of Gorizia; prisoners now over 30,000. Russians still retreating on the Riga-Pskoff road, but south of that road resistance increasing. Russian Provisional Government reintroduces the death penalty both for soldiers and civilians; Petrograd and Moscow closed to foreigners. United States Government contemplating seizure of 400,000 tons of neutral shipping in American ports.
