PRICE $1.50 THE YEAR, BOMBARDMENT OF ALLIES' ARTILLERY MOST TER RIFIC OF WHOLE WAR HEAVY FIGHTING IN CARPATHIANS Fog Interfers With Operations of Allied Fleets Against the Dardanelles LONDON, Mardi IS. Briton suc cesses of tue last few da vs were due to thoir artillery, which .apparently is superior to that of the Germans, . according to the r.tory of tho "British eyewitness." issued tonight. The Brit- i ish guns, including heavy howitzers, opened the way for an advance by Ute British Indian troops, which carried (beni to and beyond the village ot ? Neuve Chapelle, while airmen, by I dropping bombs on the railways, pre-1 vented the Germans Jfruni bringing j up reinforcements. The artillery lire is described as i the fiercest that lias yet been heard tn the war. and confirms what hereto fore had oliiclnlly been rumored that ilse British and French have j brought up since the battle of Ypres, | an enormous number of guns of all j calibres. Tho German trenches on | which the artlHory lire was directed arc completely-* recked, so that ex- I cept in one or two places, which had j Virtually been converged into fort- ] rosses, the infantry were able to ad vance without much difficulty. Tho success has greatly heartened^ the British troops, who have spent tl?tP winter in the trenches, and given tb??ni hope that when the grep* general , -^ovwneiT^s-deelded-npoii- they wllln be able to carry all before them.

Tho ir.-pression herc, however, ls that the Hritish thrust was only part of the allied strategy, wh'ch alms at keeping: the Germans busy in both fronts, thus preventing them from 'concentrating at any one point. Concurrently the French coutlnue their offensive in Champagne and the Vosges and are strengthening the ground which they have won in re . cent battles. In the east the German offensive against Przasnysz is not developing as fast as anticipated. The Russians arc offering stubborn i .-sistancc to their advance along parallel roads, and, owing to inability of the Germans to entrench id the frozen ground, have, according to the Petrograd re ports, thus far had the advantage in the preliminary fighting. In "fact, the Germans are said to have withdrawn their front to the north of Przasnysz. Heavy fighting is in progress in thc Carpathians, despite snowstorms and deep drifts. Heavy fog has intereferrod with op erations of the allied fleets against tho Dardanelles, but the ships have kept . p the bombardment of the forts at Bulair, through which reinforce ments, provisions and ammunition for the fortifications in the straits must pass. They also prevented the Turks from strengthening the forts at the entrance to the straits and before Smyrna, which had previously bean destroyed or, damaged. -, The British admiralty announced tonight thal of 88 British vessels sunk or captured by hostile action from the beginning of the war until" Ma?l'b 10, 22 Were victims of submarines.

The words (if acquittal had scarcely died on Foreman Hailey's lips winn Deputy Attorney General Cook moved to have Thaw recommit ted to Matteawan. This was opposed by John K. Blanchfield, chief of Thaw's counsel, on the g-ound that the court already had under advise ment a motion to return Thaw to New Hampshire, whence he came io answer ibo conspiracy charge.
