remarked.
Snoot Blamed for Demise.
The Senate resumed consideration of
the war claims bill when order had
been restored, but Senator Thomas, of

"His heart is in the right place. His
mind sometimes goes wrong. I freely
and without reserve forgive him."

has been kicking ever since,' and
that he "excused" him.

ALLIES' ABILITY QUESTIONED
German Critic Kays Turks Will Keep
Control Of Dardanelles.
BERLIN, by wireless to Sayville,
March 3. The chance of succeHS for
the Anglo-French fleet which is at
tacking the Dardanelles, is considered
by Major Moraht, military critic of the
BerI1er Tageblatt. to be "rather
weak." He says that the destruction
of all the fortifications on both sides
of the straits would not permit pas
sage of the fleet or an invasion by
land, since it would be necessary to
free the waters of mines and subdue
the Turkish land forces.
England and France. Major Moraht
aruges. would be unable to bring up
land forces of sufficient strength for
successful operations, whereas the
Turks have strong forces available.
The ships bombarding the coast de
fenses are handicapped heavily, he
continues, by the lack of sufficiently
high trajectories and by the fact that
the amount of ammunition available
for them is limited. Considering all
these phases, he says that there Is no
reason to doubt the ability of the Turks
to maintain control of the Dardanelles.
ONE SHIP REPORTED DAMAGED
Dardanelles Will Be Grave of As

MMSTERDAM, March 3, via London,
March 4. The Berliner Tageblatta
Constantinople correspondent says the
British cruiser Zephyr was badly dam
aged in the Dardanelles bombardment
and was taken to Salonlkl with, loll
men wounded.
The Turkish newspapers, according
to the Tasreblatt. say that the Dar
danelles will be the grave of Turkey's
enemies.

THE LOVE ROUTE,
GREAT FEATURE ON
AT PEOPLES TODAY
A love story full of the charm and
tenderness of a Springtime romance,
with many unique effects, is the Famous
Players Film Company's big produc
tion of the ranch and the rail, "The
Love Route," from the Broadway suc
cess by Edward Peple, which will be
at the Peoples Theater today and until
Saturday night. It will be succeeded
next Sunday by "The Gentleman of
Leisure."
There are a great number of exciting
scenes in "The Love Route." Actual
construction of a railroad, a pitched
battle between the cowpunchers and
the railroad workmen, which develops
into a thrilling climax, are among the
stirring features.
A girl ranch owner refuses to allow
the railroad company to lay their line
across her runch. The young civil en
gineer assigned to the Job finds that
love and duty clash and sacrifices his
love for the completion of the gigantic
task.
The opposition of the gill ends with
love on the eve of the engineer's fail
ure, and there is a wonderful scene ir
which the railroad is rushed to comple
tion at night to save the franchise.

tures everyone In Portland ought . to
