Germans Lost 3,000 Men, A Paris newspaper in a description t0f the Tecent battle at Notre Dame D¢ Lorette, says that the Germans lost 3,000. Although they succeeded in “capturing the three lines of French | trenches, they are said to have been expelled from them in a furious night 7bhattle. The fighting in “which for prolonged and desperate encounters rivals any phase of the war, continues without a decisive vic- tory for either side.

Cap- tain Tulloch said the Naneric had reached the eastern entrance of the canal about February 1, but had not been allowed to proceed because of the battle between the allies and the Turks near Ismalia. “The Turks,” said Captain Tulloch, “attempted to cross the canal, led hy German officers, but were repulsed by the allies, who directed upon them the fire not only of field pieces, but big guns of several warships. Both sides of the canal were heaped with dead bodies and many of the V tims rolled into the water. The loss of life was very great and the Turks appeared to be demoralized. “After several days’ delay the Nan- eric was permitted to proceed to Port Said. Her exposed portions were protected by bags of sand. On the way the British auxiliary cruiser Har- binger which was acting as a con- voy, received a shot through a smoke- stack.” SEPARATE POLICE AND FIRE DEPTS.—QUIGLEY Favors Different Commission for Each—Civil Service Coming ? Separate commissions for the police and firc departments which are now under the direction the board of public safety is a plan to which Mayor George A. Quigley is giving his atten- | tion at present. “This is a matter which is favored by a good many,” said Mayor Quig- | ley today. | of “1 have heard considerable comment and all seems to favor sep- arating the departments It would be necessary to amend the charter in order to effect a separation of the two branches of public safety. If this is done it is probable that Chairman E. B. Alling of the present | safety board will be chairman of the | fire commissioners. Whether the subject will be dis cussed at a special meeting of the common council, which Mayor Quig ley called today, for Wednesday even- ing is not known. The mayor ex- peots that the council will discuss amending the charter so that ¢ of three appointed to hold examintions of ap- plicants for positions on the police and fire departments. Mayor Quig- ley is strong supporter & civi service commission. I The meeting of the common council | has been called to take acticn on the charter changes which have been ap- by a special committee. It was said that the republican mem- | bers of the couneil would hold a cau- cus on the charter changes but up to this afternoon the caucus had not been called. Many people think it savors too much of politics to caucus on the charter changes which effect the en- tire city as well as the republicans. LOCAL MAN IMPLICATED? New York Report Says Salesman Haa Secret Affair With Lillian Cook. From New York comes a report to the effect that Miss Lillian Cook, the yvoung Brooklyn girl who committed sulcide under such peculiar circum- stances on West Rock in New Haven, had a secret romance and it is said that she had frequently been scen in | the company of “a young man em- ployed as a salesman for a New Britain, (Conn.) silver manufacturing concern.” This man's identity has not been revealed however, and the police declare they have no specific informa- tion regarding him or his relations with the victom of the tragedy. It may be that the concern referred to is Landers, Frary & Clark's, where tableware is made, which might be termed by some as silverware. of a HOSPITAL C RD PARTY, Annual Affair to Be Held on April 10 —Board Meets. At a meeting of the Women's Hos pital board held this morning at the home of Mrs. W. C. Hungerford, the president, it was decided to hold the annual card party apd entertainment for the benefit .of the New Britain Gieneral hospital on the afternoon or' April 10 in Booth's hall. While no definite have been made it is probable that the affait will take the usual form, a progressive whist with dancing and refreshments as the features of the affair. { arrangements FINANCES VERY LOW. Wheeling, W. Va., March 8.—The finances of the United Mine Workers of America are in a bad condition cording to Former State Senator Wm. Green of Ohie, secretary-treasurer of the organization.

March 8 urgent representations practically to a warning by the United States to Carranza, demanding an ment of conditions in Mexico City. Diplomats familiar with the con- tents of the note which American Consul Silliman hs been instructed to present to General Carran interpret it as an entire change of policy on the part of the Washington govern- ment toward the Mexican situation. | Guarded With The communication to which w drafted after between President Wilson, ryan and Counselor Lansing pending as to his Secreey. Carranza conferences Secretary was some word from Carranza atti- tude. It was said by some oflicials that | the note contained the strongest rep- resentations that ever have been made to Carranza and indicates that the American government losing pa- tience with his indifference to the ob- Jectionable acts of Gen. Obregon at Mexico Clity. Predicts Serious Consequences. Those who know the contents : of the communication said it was not in the nature of an ultimatum but point- ed out in explicit language that seri- ous conquences might follow if the welfare of foreigners continued to be disregarded. i Early in the day, Secreta Danie said no additions were contem- plated to the fleet in Mexican waters, Lut later it was learned that the cruiser Tacoma had been ordered from Port au Prince, Haiti, to Ve Cruz Secretary Daniels w in con- later with Secretary Bryan' concerning the ituation. Further | movements of vessels may be decided upon. | s Foreign Diplomats Confer, In diplomatic quarters there were more manifestations of concern over the Mexican sitnation than time since the Amervican landed at Vera C'ruz. The lomats conferred among and communicated to onc latest developments them. Nome of th diplomats declared themselves satisfied that the course of the American government would pro- duce results. One of the ministers, who had received a telegram stating that the diplomatic corps in Mexico City had decided to leave, cabled his legation there, saying that after learn- ing what serious steps the American government had taken he advised the corps to remain in the capital and await developments. forec were m dip- themselves another they heard fore the New Crisis at Hand. Just now what move now is contem- plated is known only to President Wil- son and a few close advisers but it was rent from the atitude of the of- tk‘]?fl! that it was realized that a new crisi@was at hand which might have to be met with strong measures The gencral impression in official quarters was that even though the use | of force had not been threatened in the note of Carrar the American government was prepared to meect eventualities and would hereafter pur- sue an insistent course to compel pro- tection for foreigners gand their inter- ests. Obregon Recognizes Carranza. Secretary Bryan, himself, would s only that there was no change in con- | ditions at Mexico City from the serious state of affairs of the last few days. He said no word had come directly from Carranza in the last two or three days. When asked whether Carranza nlnl Obregon were at odds and wheth- er the former could control his \h\» ico City commander, Sec replied tBat the state department he swvidence that Obregon recognized Carranza as his superior officer but could not say definitely whether any friction had developed. Secretary Bry:n stated placing of an embargo on all ship- ments of munitions of war to Mexico had not been considered in the pres- ent situation. Such a move would be of little practical effect, it is =aid by officials, because most of the arms and ammunition available in the United States has been contracted at Thigh prices by the uropean belligerents. Affects Villa's Campaign, Searcity of war munitions, it is be- lieved here, has already affected Villa’s eampaign and while his for have been making more headway, ac- cording to official reports, than those of Carranza, the possibility that neith- er faction will be able to gain a com- plete victory and that the situation may remain deadlocked indefinitely s known to have influenced the ad- ministration to take its stand, The Washington government cently” has been subjected to a tinuous bombardment of foreign in- quirie all diplomatically phrascd that Te ing miners.
