FIGHTING ON TIGRIS
LONDON, March 11.—Some fighting has recently
taken place between the Turkish and British forces in the
region near the junction of the Euphrates and Tigris riv
ers in Asia Minor but the results are not clearly known as
communication with that part of the world is very small.
The newspapers here for the past few days ridicule the
suggestion made by Germany that the l rench and British
fleets are trying to capture Contsantinople before the
Russians so "that Russia cannot claim the whole voice in
the settlement of Turkish questions if the allied forces win
the war. It is said that the chief aim in trying to take
Constantinople is to release great quantities of wheat bot
tled up in Russia by opening the Dardanelles and the
Bosphorus. The opening of those channels, it is also said,
• woul enable Russia to secure needed war munitions.
FIGHTING IN SOUTH AFRICA
CAPETOWN, March 11.—Most favorable reports
are coining from the British invading force which has
crossed over the border into German southwest Africa.
The German garrison is said to have fallen back from the
port town at which the British made their base. In the
meantime the revolting Boers show only very slight activ -
itv in British territory. General Botha, prime minister
of the United States of South Africa, is in command of
the invading British forces and his proven skill as a mili
tary leader is depended upon to overcome any opposition
that the Germans can bring up in that quarter. The ru
mor that Colonel Maritz, the rebel Boer leader, had been
shot by the Germans has been denied but it is stated now
that he has been captured by the British. This statement
has not. however, been confirmed.
SEARCHING ENQUIRY
WASHINGTON, March 11.—President Wilson stat
ed this afternoon that the action to be taken by this gov
eminent with regard to the sinking of the I rye will de
pend on the result of a searching enquiry which will be in
stituted immediately. It is now reported that three Brit
ish warships were in full pursuit of the Eitel 1 redericli
when she decided to run for safety to Newport News,
The neutrality board has recommended that the cruisei
be allowed to make the necessary repairs and the recom
mendation will probably be accepted.
ALLIES WIN BIG ADVANTAGE
LONDON, March 11.—The allies made the most im
portant advance for several weeks when they captured a
town north of Labassee yesterday and so gained a posi
tion that commands the Lille road. It is a gain oi the
greatest strategic importance and weakens the hold Oi
the Germans on Labassee to such an extent that evacua
tion of that place by the enemy may follow unless the Ger
mans bring up great forces and make an attempt to re
capture the lost position.
BERLIN CLAIMS VICTORIES
BERLIN, March 11.—The official communique issued
this morning declares that the Russian attempt to break
the Augustowa line has completely failed. The fighting to
the west and the northwest of Przasnysz is proceeding
favorable for the Germans and General Hindenburg an
nounces that matters are most favorable tor our arms in
that region. Nothing is said about the operations to the
south where the Austrians are holding the Russians and
are apparently winning. A severe defeat of the French
is announced in the Champagne department. The official
notification says that the losses to the enemy were very
severe and that the ground gained by our troops is con
siderable. Judging by the wording of the message it
seems that the victory is the greatest in the western field
since the battle at So'issons when the French were driven
beyond theAisne. Desultory fighting is proceeding in Bel
gium but without any very definite advantage.
GERMANS REGROUPING
PETROGRAD, March 11.—The official notice today
says that the Germans are now regrouping their forces
in northern Poland. They are sending large forces from
the Niemen river district to the Narew river region where
an important battle is now raging. The battlefield is to
the northeast of Warsaw and takes in some of the country
that is tributary to the cities of Ostrolenka and Lomza.
The greatest efforts possible are being put forth by the
Russians as a victory at that point would mean possibly an
advance by the enemy towards the rear of the Warsaw
line and might threaten the communications of the Rus
sian armies defending the capital. In the meantime minor
engagements are being fought along the Pilica river to
the southwest of Warsaw, and east of Piotrkow. The
enemy apparently is planning a campaign whose object
is to turn the flank of the Russian central armies around
Warsaw and compel us to retire from that city.

! TURK FIRE SLACKENING
PARIS, March 11.—The fire of the Turkish forts in
the Dardanelles is slackening according to the report is- <
! sued here today. No more forts are reported to have been 1
reduced but the silencing of some of the guns is looked for. '
■ It is admitted that the narrowest and consequently the
most dangerous part of the channel has not yet been pas- 1
sed but the Turkish guns seems to be so inferior that the
fleet is believed now to be fully capabale of accomplishing
the great task which it set out to perform. The bombard
ing fleets are made up of three to four French and half a
dozen British vessels, some of them dreadnaughts like
the Queen Elizabeth and Agamemnon.
PARIS ON CHAMPAGNE
PARIS, March 11.—The official bulletin says noth
ing about the German statement of a German victory in
„ Champagne. It says, however, that active fighting is tak
ing place in that district and that progress is slow. If a
victory such as that claimed by the enemy had been won it
could hardly be very well hidden so that the feeling is that
the boast of the Germans has very little if any foundation.

it isn’t too much to expect that deals
