BRIEF WAR NEWS
Heavy weather Is declared by the at
lies to have been responsible fur the
small advance of the week In the at
tack on the Dardanelles, but It Is prob
able more efficient mimicry by the uV-
feiulers Is also a factor.
A IJrittsti attack made. according to
London reports, by IOu.000 men on the
German outer lines guarding Lille,
succeeded during the week In winning
two and one half miles of trenches and
shoving the Germans bark throequar
ters of a mile. This gain la the most
Important made by the allies in north
ern France during the winter.
Parliament granted the British gov
eminent power during tho week to
take over the plants capable of turn
ing out war supplies.
The British Admiralty Issued a re
port showing that of 88 British ves
sels sunk or captured by hostile ac
tion, from the commencement of the
war until March 10, 22 were victims or
submarines. ,
In a long official communication,
the French war office announces a
series of minor successes in Belgium
and on various parts of the war front
in France. This communication, how
ever, admits the blowing up by the
Germans of four of the French ad
vance trenches near Font a-Mousson.
At this point the Germans gained a
foothold, but two of the trenches and
part of another were recaptured by
the French.
In the eastern war zone the concen
tration of troops and preliminary op
erations for an engagement on an ex
tensive scale In Poland are proceed
ing, but the fighting of late has been
of the advance guard order. In the
Carpathians neither the Russians nor
the Austrlans seemingly have been
able to gain any decisive advantage.
In the region of I'rzasnysz, Russian
Poland, the great battle has not yet
been fought, and what fighting there
has been each of the contenders main
tains is turning In his favor. Tho
Russians are claiming hard-earned
progress all along the line; the Ger
mans just as stoutly assert that the
Russian attacks have teen repulsed
WILSON TO ENFORCE
DEMANDS IN MEXICO
Respect for Foreigners to be
Compelled, is Text of Notes
Sent to Carranza.
Washington. Prealdout Wilson has
determined that all tha rival factious
In Mexico shall be compelled If neces
sary, not only to respect the Uvea and
property ot foreigners, but to Insure
freedom ot commercial communica
tion between the United Status and Us
southern neighbor.
This policy, enunciated In tho last
two notes sent to General Carrauta
concernliiK the situation at Mexico
City, was further developed by tho dis
patch of a communication Informing
the Mexican chief that unless tho gun
boat Zaragota was recalled from its
attempted blockade of tho port of Pro
greso, the president of the United
States "would be constrained to Issue
Instructions" to the commander of the
armored cruiser Dva Moines "to pro
vent any Interference" with American
ships going to or from that port.
The purpose of this note apparently
was achieved before It readied Vera
Cms, for the navy department receiv
ed word that the Zurattnca had put
back to Vera t'rus "on account of the
stress of the weather." The opinion
of officials Is that there will tio no
further attempt to blockade.
Wilt Vitalise New Discovery.

GERMANY EXPECTED
TO REPUDIATE ACT
Washington. Germany probably
will repudiate the action of the exp
lain of the I'riii7, Kltel Frledrlch In
sinking tho American ship William P.
Frye, loaded with wheat consigned
from Seattle to Queenstown, and make
reparation for the loss of tho vessel
and cargo, In the opinion or German
officials here.
Captain Thlcrlchens, of tho Prlnz
Eltel, stated that his only guide while
at sea and for months out of communi
cation with his government was the
declaration of London. This would
permit tho destruction of a neutral
prize it carrying a cargo more than
half of which could be proved to be
contraband, provided It was impossi
ble to take the vessel to a borne port
without endangering the captor war
ship. Since the outbreak of the war the
German government has defined Its
views on shipments of conditional con
traband and has argued that food
stuffs must be proved without any
doubt to be bound actually to a bel
ligerent force of an enemy before they
can be seized.
