VON TURPITZ RESIGNATION
CAUSES GREAT FUSS
A. P. A. Service.
BERLIN, March 17.—The res
ignation of Admiral Von Turpitz
has created a great sensation
throughout the German empire
and has also loosed a torrent of
criticism of the radical inclina
tins of many of those who occupy
high place in the government
councils, which are alleged to
have been the cause of the ad
miral’s retirement.
The foreign policies of the gov
eminent are also receiving a large
share of the attention of the
press and the radically inclined
papers are severely condemning
the evident attempts to suppress
[a general inclination of the peo
' pie toward more vigorous action
in the conduct of foreign rela
tions. To all appearances the
naval policy will be the subject
of extensive discussion in the
reichstag, in spite of the obvious
efforts of the chancellor to avoid
having matters brought to issue
in that body. Now that the re
straining influence of von Tir
pitz is removed it is generally
expected that there will be a
complete change in the naval
program and a vigorous sea pol
icy is not unlikely to develop un
der the administration of Admir
al von Capelle.

FRENCH LINER HAS j
NARROW ESCAPE
I

t\. P. A. Service I
NEW YORK, March 16.—
While carrying twenty Ameri
cans among the nine hundred
passengers aboard the big vessel,
the i’aore line steamship La Pa
trie was attacked by a submarine
off the coast of Tunis and escap
ed destruction by the narrowest
of margins- According to the
story told by the captain and of
ficers on the Patrie's arrival from
diLiii££ me
coast of Tunis when the peris
cope of a submarine appeared on
the surface some distance away
and commenced a rapid dash to
overtake the big steamer, which
was by this time rushing for safe
ty at full speed.
The officers of the liner adopt- j
ed the usual dodging and twisting
maneuvers employed to avoid
torpedo attacks with the result
Lhat when the submarine finally
aunched its torpedo the deadly
missile missed by the scant mar
gin of twenty feet- The wake of
the torpedo was observed to pass
the stern of the vessel so close
that it is looked upon as nothing
short of a miracle that the steam
er was spared. The submarine
neither gave nor attenuated to
irom view immediately after dis
charging the torpedo.
The attack occurred early in
the morning and but few of the
passengers knew of their deadly
peril. The captain states that he
l^ad everything in (readiness to
clear the boats in case the sub
marine was successful in its de
signs;
STRICT CENSORSHIP
ON THE BORDER
I
A. P. A. Service.
EL PASO, March 17.—Judg
ing from the dearth of news from
the border today, the authorities
have finally succeeded in estab
lishing a complete censorship
concerning the movements of the
American forces.
The only news of importance
received today was issued by the
staff of General Funston at San
Antonio and states that the ad
vance guard of the American in
vading force is now well on the
way to Casa Grande.
The present location of Villa
continues to be something of a
puzzle and it is frankly admitted
at Fort Sam Houston that noth
ing is known as to his where
abouts or movements. That the
government is working in concert
with the Mexicans is indicated
by the announcement from Dou
glas, Ariz., that the military au
thorities at that point have re
ceived instructions to pass seven
hundred thousand rounds of am
munition in transit to the forces
(of Carranza in Sonora

GERMANS MAKE GREAT
ATTACKS EAST OF VERDUN
A. P. A. Service.
PARIS, March 17.—A'FFer ter
rific bombardments enduring
through the day yesterday, the
Germans commenced important
infantry assaults on the French
lines east of Verdun last evening
and five successive assaults in
force were made during the
night.
The war office communique
issued this morning states that
the Germans made determined
stabs at different points on the
French line extending southeast
from the Fort Vaux region. The
attacks were, in each instance
easily repulsed with heavy losses
to the enemy.
The German offensive along
the Meuse has abated after two
days of terrific fighting and the
Germans are apparently intend
ing to devote their energy to the
Verdun front- Heavy artillery
actions are in progress in the|
Bathincourt section and along the
line below Charnay. 1
The complete failure of the
Germans to make more than
trifling impressions on the- French
lines with the full weight of their
forces has given rise to a general
spirit of rejoicing in the capita!
and it is now felt that the ulti
mate safety of Verdun is assured.

ATES MILLIONS
FOR BREMERTON
A. P. A. Service
WASHINGTON, March 17.—
The senate today passed the
measure offered by Senator Poin
dexter appropriating $2,065,000
for additional equipment for the
Puget sound navy yard so that
the work of battleship construc
tion can be carried on at that
point. The appropriation of this
money is to all appearances mere
lv the beginning of the govern
ment ship building program and
several other bills appropriating
barge sums for additional ship
building equipment, now
iV;ii nnHuuo^dly pass before the
close of the-present- session. The
government has undoubtedly de
cided to enter upon the contem
plated ship building program i•>
earnest and it is generally expect
ed that the next step will be the
establishment of a government
armor plate factory.
