t. LONDON'. March 1. An eyewitness
J (-count of the operations of the allied
s fleet in the Uulf of Smyrna is sent by
f the Daily Telegraph's Mitylene corre
, spondent. tlio cruised around the gulf
in a niotorboat and obtained details of
J tho bombardment of Smyrna from a
r Oreek schoolmaster. The schoolmaster
was a refugee on an island from which
.. an excellent panoramic view of the
' inner bay of Smyrna is obtainable, al
I though the city is nearly 16 miles dis-
tant.
" -On Tuesday, the day I arrived here,"
the schoolmaster is quoted as saying,
t "one battleship lay a few miles off
i Smyrna, firing at the forts and the bat-
teries on the two mountain peaks called
I the 'Twin Brothers." which lie to the
1 right of Smyrna. Two other battle-
2 ships protected a fleet of mine-sweepers,
I while a French cruiser launched a sca
' plane, which flew over the "Twin Broth
Z era' and reconnoitered above Smyrna
' for an hour, despite the gun fire of the
T Turks.
i Havoc Caused by Skips Visible.
"Later two other battleships joined
r In the bombardment, the forts reply
ing vigorously. Wednesday the firing
continued, the havoc being visible In
the clouds of dust and stone raised on
- the land by the bursting shells.
'"In the midst of the bombardment
tho Russian cruiser Askold threaded
t her way through the islands to a point
off Vudla where the Turks had a
i battery. The first shot fell beyond the
- battery, the second into the sea, the
; third to the right and the fourth to
; the left of the battery.
- That gave the Bussian gnners ac-
curate data and imfediately the ship
:J fired a whole broadside, all the shell
i falling squarely on the battery. , These
Z were followed by many others, which
completely demolished the battery and
1 left the little town a shambles."
Z The Berlin Overseas News Agency
; today sent out what they described as
; a report from Athens to the effect that
; the British cruiser Amethyst sustained
; heavy damages and had 28 officers and
; men killed and an equal number
i.' wounded during an attack on the inner
; forts of the Dardanelles in which five
; British warships took part.
hum Kale Bfnan Fire.
" The correspondent at Athens of the
;. Lokal Anzeiger, says the dispatch, re-
ports that the Turks have succeeded
in placing new heavy guns in the
Kum Kale batten', at the mouth of
the Pardanelles. which have replied
, fiercely to the fire of a French, squad-
ron.
Continuing, the correspondent eays
that two badly damaged British cruis-
crs have been taken into Malta. One
of these vessels had been struck fairly
- no fewer than 2 times.
f Several batteries of Turkish fieid r-
tillery posted above Kum Kale at the
entrance to the Dardanelles were dis
" covered and silenced by British war-
rhips after a bombardment Sunday,

bilious turns, dull headaches, indi

that the blood is impure and impov

ailments. It is the old reliable medi

years that makes pure. rich, red blood
that strengthens every organ and

Officials who studied the British or

mitted by Ambassador Page and the
British Embassy found differences in
it from the version in the cable dia
patches, but would not indicate whether
they were of an important character.
Their displeasure at the contents of the
order was evident and they made no
effort to conceal their disappointment
at its failure to give American com
merce relief from interference while in
transit to neutral countries.
Order to Be Made Public.
The British order will be made pub
lic tomorrow by the State Department
together with the full text of the notes
to and from Great Britain and Germany
in which the United States sought to
bring about an abandonment of sub
marine warfare and the shipment of
conditional contraband to civilians. The
Department also has arranged with the
British Foreign Office to make public
late tomorrow the reply of the British
government to the American note of in
quiry asking how the British embargo
on commerce with Germany was to be
carried out in practice. This is under,
stood to contain the British order, as
well as additional memorandum in
which the word "bljcade" appears for
the first time.
It is believed that an explanation is
given of why a formal blockade was
not instituted. Great Britain is be
lieved to have pointed out that to have
done so would require confiscation of
all cargoes, whereas under the present
declaration the cargoes are- sold and
the exporters reimbursed.
Close-In Blockade Hazardous.
The activity of submarines has made
the maintenance of an effective block
ade near the German coast a hazardous
performance, and officials regard the
order-in-council as extending the oper
ations of the blockade to any point on
the high seas. It was because of this,
it is believed here, that Great Britain
thought it expedient to concede a point
on the right of absolute confiscation
which now prevails under an effective
blockade.

BUDAPEST, via Venice, JIarcli 3.
(Correspondence of the Associated
Press.) A blunder on the part of
Austrian and Hungarian millers is in
large part responsible for the sudden
shortage of wheat. For nearly two
months. It develops, the mills of the two
countries were turning out flour use
less either for human or animal con
sumption. The official decree issued at the be
ginning of this two months' period di
rected that 30 per cent of maize flour
should be mixed with the wheat in
milling. This decree was followed by
the millers literally and practically all
the mills overlooked the fact that maize
should mature on the cob for at least
eight months before the flour ground
from it is fit for use.
In the haste and confusion that fol
lowed the issuance of the decree mil
lers bought up and used large quan
tities of the fresh crop of maize, which
had matured for only two months. The

$6,000,000. The Belgian owners of it
have been paid for their property in a

banks have been forced to issue and
which is not accepted outside of Bel
