Five out of six of the new German army corps are said to be engaged on and beyond the frontier of East Prus- { sla, a fact which, British observers think will mhake it difficult for Ger- many to meet the new demands to be imposed on her in the west. Neuve Chapelle Victory. The full import of the British vic- tory at Neuve Chapelle is only now beginning to be grasped by the public. It has greatly cheered both troops and civilians as confirming the belief that the German line can be broken | if the allies care to pay the. price. | Several thousand wounded men from this battlefield already have arrived in England, five train loads having reached Brighton during the twenty- four hours ended last evening. The press today again cautions the | people that the taking of the Dar- danelles is likely to be slow affair, to accomplish which the allies must pay the price just as they have done at Neuve Chapelle. Attack on Dardanelles. Milan, via Paris, March 18, 5:10 A. M.—Prudence will govern the ef- forts of the admirals of the allied fleet to force a passage of the Dar- | danelles, according to a special cor- respondent of the Corriere * Della Zerra, who gives the captain of the French hospital ship Canada as au- thority for the statement. At least another month will be spent in ef- forts to silence the Turkish fortifi, cations, especially those guarding the narrows at Chanak Kalessi. The operations against Smyrna, the correspondent declares, had a double object. The first is said to.have been to prevent the transfer of the Thir- teenth Turkish army, corps, which danelles, and the second to cut the communications of the army which was sent against Egypt. Turks Are Fortifying. Paris, March 18, 3 A. M.—Tae cor- respondent at Athens of the Havas Agency, in a despatch dated March 17, says the naval operations of the allies at Smyrna, Asiatic Turkey, have been temporarily suspended, and the Turks, are profiting by this respite to repair the damage to their batteries and forts.

TRANSPORTS WILL CARRY- ISLAND GOODS Phiippne Exparts Tied Up For Waat of Transportation Faciities. ‘Washington, March . 18.—Because 61 the lack of shipping facilities be- tween the Philippine islands and the United States, army transports will be utilized. for carrying goods from the islands which could not be trans- . ported in any other way. Secretary Garrison today called President Wilson's attention to reports from Governor General Harrison on the ‘“unfortunate condition” in the Philippines because of lack of ships for exports to the United States. At first it was suggested that naval colliers returning from the islands be used, but Secretary Daniels was ad- vised that it was not authorized by law. Secretary Garrison found, how- ever, that there could be no objec- tion to using -returning army trans- ports provided their freight is first made over to -the. island’ government. The quartermaster general of the army has found: that about three thousand tons space will be available on each ship. Secretary Garrison will instruct Governor Generdl Harrison to invite proposals from shipping companies to carry all exports offered. to the gov- ernment transports, so that nothing will be carried by the government vhi~h could be handled by private shipping. “ssusiuent Wilson has approved Secretary Garrison's plan and it will shortly be put in effect.
