Confident opinion exists In London that the entire war situation Is fav orable to the Allies. Slowly, but surely, It Is argued, the allied fleet is creeping toward Con ■tantlnople and thus opening another road to Berlin; the retirement ot Field Marshan von Htndenberg’s army from north Poland Is said to be Imminent by many British observers of affairs; In the west the Allies claim the ascendency all along the line, although no decisive engage ments are being fought, while In the Balkans and In Italy, according to British interpretation of the politi cal news, the majority Is clamoring for Intervention on the side of the Allies. The crisis in Greece seems tempor arily bridged by formation o^ a new cabinet, but whether the new premier can control the chamber of deputies Is causing much speculation. Though offlcially denied, reports Insist that a ministerial crisis also has arisen in Bulgaria. Paris official confirmed Wednesday that the superdreadnought Queen Elizabeth slipped Into the Darda nelles proper Monday and bombard ed the Turkish forts, another one of which on the European side has been partly demolished. Petrograd dispatches say the Ger man failure to reduce the Russian fortress of Oscowets, together with the reported German defeat at Grod no and Prsasnpss means definite abandonment of the German offensive In north Poland. In Central Poland both the Rus sians and the Germans are attacking alternately with no appreciable change. The same Is true In the Car pathians and generally along the western front. In the East and West fighting be tween the Germans and the Allies continues. The Russians claim an other victory in the region of Augue- towo In North Poland, a short dis tance from the East Prussian fron tier, which threatens to break Com ■nalcatloa between the Germans ■ear the Lower Nlemen and those be fore Oeoowets. In Central Poland the battle which had premised to develop on the Ptllea River seems to have died down, ow ing. as Petrograd puts It, to the Rue- slams being too strong for the Ger mans, who were forced to abandon their offensive and fall back under a Russian counter-attack. Things have changed little in the Carpathians although the Russians, according to their reports, apparently have Improved their position on the Hungarian side of the Dukla Pass. Petrograd claims an Austrian defeat near Bvldnlk on the Ondawa River, a considerable distance Inside of Hun garian territory. The Austrians, how ever, still are attacking the Russians south of Bollgrad on the Glllclan side of the mountains, east of the Dukla Pass. The Vosgeo mountains, the Cham pagne district and the Arras region continue to be the scenes of hard fighting In the West but apparently neither side has gained any distinct advantage. The British and French fleets have battered their way a step nearer to Constantinople—not, however, with out damage to the ships engaged— and the battle for the Dardanelles continues. More Turkish forts on the Asiatic side have been silenced, according to a statement by the British admiralty, but the Turks are making a terrific resistance and shells from their Gor man-made guns have found more than one mark on the besieging crait. This struggle for the gateway of the Ottoman capital Is the big fea ture of the war news, end closely linked with this Is the sustained ex citement In Geece Incident to the resignation of the cabinet of M. Venl- selos, who, deeming Greece’s entry Into the hostilities on the side of the triple entente imperative, could not agree with the king and resigned. The retiring premier, according to 'Athers dlsprtches, plans to leave for a rest and M. Zalmls has been en trusted with the difficult task of se lecting a new cabinet, the complex ion of which had not been even ten tatively announced, though an unof ficial report says Zalmls has finally declined the commission. From the numbo.- of ships engaged and the size and range of the guns, the battle of the Dardanelles Is un like anything In history, according to naval experts. At 21,000 yards, the huge battleship Queen Elizabeth, of the British squadron, assisted bv smaller ships, la still hurling shells across the Gallipoli peninsula Into the Turkish strongholds on the Asi atic shore. The admiralty statement carries the operations through Sunday and admits that the Turks not only scored three minor hits on the Queen Eliza beth, but that most of the ships In side the straits, both French and British were struck. None was sunk and there were no casualties. The Turkish forts Rumill MedJId ieh Tabla and Haraldleh-I-Tabia frlgtng the Asiatic sho'S line, were •Uenced, as was the Mount Dardamus battery farther south. The Turkish caansltie* are not known. A Turkish official statement from Constantinople, Usned prior to the- admira'ty statement, Insisted that the UgMlng In the Dardanelles was devel oping *■ favor of the Turks. It was plated that no batteries were being and that the heetlle ships DEMANDS REPARATION U. 8. TO ACT UNLESS GERMANY OFFERS RESTITUTION. SAV SHIPS SIOOT-P ra "?I a ** lu, ‘“ nnus KicuiuFiunW UNDERWOOD SAYS QUB INDUS TRIAL LEADEBS NEED HELP. Neutral Ship Should Not be Destroy ed and This Is Gist of the Orders of All Nations. Unless the German government voluntarily offers to make restitution for the destruction of the American ship Fyre, sunk by the converted cruiser Print Eltel Friedrich In the south Atlantic, and expresses regret for. the occurrence strong protest will be made by the United States with a request for reparation. No announcements concerning the case probably will be made by offi cials until after an Investigation has been completed. President Wilson has stated that a searching Inquiry would be conducted. Officials were unanimous In their opinion—and It was shared largely by diplomatists, too—that the com mander of the Prlnz Eltel had no right to sink the Frye. It was con sidered probable by the officials that the German government would ad mit the error of the naval command er and agree to make the usual re paration. It was made clear at the state de partment that whatever action taken as a result of the sinking of the Frye would be entirely dissociated from questions arising out of the entry Into the American port of the Prlnz Eltel. The vessel could, therefore, depart, leaving the question of the destruction of the American ship to be settled through diplomatic chan nels. Capt. Boy-Ed, naval attache of the German embassy, it was understood, has gone to Newport News to confer with the captain of the Prlnz Eltel and obtain a sworn statement of the facts for the German government. Examination of precedents In in ternational law revealed to state de partment officials that the general rules of maritime practice have pro hibited the destruction of a nentral vessel under the circumstances In which the Frye was found by the Prlnz Eltel. v Many arguments have been urged from time to time against the de struction of neutral vessels and when In doubt American naval command ers have been cautioned always to dismiss the vessel. It was said In official quarters that the American govern nent took note of the fact that American citizens by their enforced presence on board a German cruiser for more than a month had been subjected to unnec essary risks and that this probably would be one of the points In ths correspondence which is certain to develop between the United States and Germany. That the Frye was carrying wheat and no other kind of cargo has been established In official reports. The German commander claims that as the wheat was consigned “to order and bound for England, it therefore could be presumed to be contraband The fact that the cargo was sold while In transit to a British Arm would not. In the opinion of officials, after the necessity In case of cap ture for bringing the cargo Into port for adjudication. Ths United States government has repeatedly maintained that the de struction of a neutral vessel In marl time war la not justified alone by the presence of contraband aboard, al though the character of the cargo, that is. If confessedly contraband, such as arms and ammunition, would b e a controlling factor In deciding the case. Moreover the German government has given assurances that It would not detain foodstuffs destined to the civilian population of an enemy. Although there Is no definite set of rules governing the destruction of neutral vessels carrying contraband, the naval codes of the principal pow ers caution their commanders not to destroy a neutral vessel unless carry ing a cargo obviously contraband and certain of condemnation and then only in case recapture by the enemy is imminent or when It Is Impossible through lack of coal or prize crew to send the prlz* to a home port. The American naval rules provide for the destruction of an enemy ship after taking off crew and passengers, hut the latest opinion of the United States naval war college adds: “If a seized neutral vessel can not for any reason be brought Into port for adjudication It should he dismissed.” IVKMStf PIUS SHOTS WENT OVER HILLS Allied Fleet, Through Uee of Indirect Fire, Demolished Forte on Darda nelles Bank With Little Danger to i ' , . * Themselves—Aeroplanes Directed Fire.

The bombardment of the Darda nelles forts, according to the latest news from Athena, Greece, proceeds with success and cautious thorough ness. It Is now anticipated that be fore another two weeks are over the allied fleet will be In the Sea of Mar mora, and Constantinople will quick ly fall to the victorious Allies. Two features of the operation make extreme caution necessary for the attacking battleships. In the first place, the number of' mlpes laid In the straits has been found to be enor mous. They must all he picked up, and the work takes considerable time, seeing that It must be done thoroughly. The Turks have evidently learned a lesson from the Germans, for they also are using floating mines, which they cgst upon the swift current to be floated down toward the sea. These swirl around the capes at the mouth of the straits and, going out to sea, constitute a danger to the bombard log ships. Some of these mines have been picked up as far away as the Island of Tenedos. In the second place the larger bat teries against whom the allied fleet Is contending are very skilfully hid den. and though the brilliantly han dled guns of the fleet have done tre mendous damage to the works. It is necessary to knock out each gun in dividually. This requires time and great precision of marksmanship. The latest advices are to the effect that something like fifty guns have been actually hit and destroyed. * I have had an Interesting talk with a gentleman who has just arrived from Tenedos, where, from the height of Mount Illos, he witnessed the bom bardment. He tells me: ‘‘The sight was most magnificent, ▲t first the fleet was ranged In semi-circle some miles out to sea from the entrance to the straits. It afforded an Inspiring spectacle as the ■hips came along and took up posi tion, and the picture became most awe-inspiring when the guns began to boom. “The bombardment at first was slow, shells from the various ships •creaming through the air at the rate of about ono •very two mlnut Their practice was excellent, and with strong glasses I could see huge masses of earth and stonework thrown high up Into the air. The din, even at the distance, was terrific, and when the largest ship, with the big gest guns In th) world, Joined In the martial chorus, the air was rent with ear-splitting noise. “The Turkish batteries, however, were not to be drawn; and, seeing this, the British admiral sent one British ship and one French close In shore toward the Sedd-el-Bahr forts. “It was a pretty sight to see the two battleships swing rapidly away toward the northern cape, spitting fire and smoke as they rods. They obscured the pure atmosphere with clouds of smoke from their funnels aftukguns; yet through It nil I could see they were getting home with the shots they fired. "As they went In they sped rli under the guns of the shore batteries, which could no longer resist the temptation to soe what they could do. Puffs of white smoke dotted the land scape on the far shore, and dull booms echoed ove- the placid water. Around the ships fountains of water sprang up Into the air. The enemy had been drawn, but his marksman ship was obviously very bad. I think I am right In saying that not a single shot directed against the ships came within a hundred yards of either. “Out came the two ships again. In effectively pursued by shells from the Turkish batteries. As they retired they still continued to make excellent practice, and their parting shots were quite as good as their first. The posi tion and number of the enemy’s bat teries had been discovered as the re sult of this brilliant little piece of work, and soon the Turkish guns were under a hall of the most deadly shells warfare has ever known. From a distance which must have been ten miles at least, monstrous projectiles, dealing destruction and death, were poured in upon the forts guarding the entrance, and each one appeared to create a frightful Inferno where It landed. “The people of the little island gathered on all the high points- to see the awe-inspiring spectr.cle, and the wonder of It struck them, with utter amazement.’’ My friend was able to witness a subsequent stage of the bombardment from a tearcr point still. What he saw while on an Island of the Rabbit Group was still more Interesting. When the early part of the bom bardment had successfully dealt with (Jthe entrance fortifications several 1 ships were able to enter the Straits, and on the.broad sheet of water In side to carry on the work of destroy ing the batteries still farther up the arm of the sea. Before that was done, however, the forts at Knm Kale had to be dealt with, end that waa done In an extra ordinary manner. One section of the fleet, protected by the extreme point of the Gallipoli Peninsula, fired over the hilly promontory et the fo CLASSIFIED COLUMN la DMfesiin Railways Says If Federal Regalattoa Falla It Win Mean Government Ownership. In a speech on ths railroad situa tion before the Sphinx club of New York, Oscar W. Underwood, House majority leader In the last congress, and now sleeted a senator from Ala bama, while discussing big business, declared that “It is not enough for the government to permit these men to rise from the prostration which have overtaken them and their af fairs. We have reached the point on our way to social betterment, where sound progressivism must recognize that the proper regulation of business requires that it must sometimes be helped and not always hindered; must be sometimes assisted and not forever stricken; that we must occa sionally say ‘you may’ and not al ways ‘yoh shall not.’ ’’ Adequate provision for capital to maintain and extend the nation’s transportation system Is the problem confronting the government In Its regulation of railroads. Mr. Under wood asserted. He added that “our present system of regulation is break ing down, Insofar us it has supervis ed the finances of the railroads with a view to allowing them properly to protect their securities and their credit may be maintained to aid in present and future development.” Regulation of railroads, Mr. Under wood said, should take into consid eration the Interests, not only of the railroads themselves and those direct ly Interested aj shippers, but of the entire country, whose commercial prosperity is dependent upon ade quate shipping facilities. “W’e have undertaken the problem of government regulation of rail roads,” he continued, “and the gov ernment will not turn back. Regula tion of practices and rates is here, and here to stay. But let us stand for wise and just regulation, and not for Ill-considered and dangerous reg- jtlatlon. r “We must regulate so as to Insure all necessary railroad facilities, both for the present and for the future. As the public In the end must pay the bill. It Is primarily Interested in the railroads securing the money needed for their maintenance and de velopment at reasonable rates, and equally Interested In seeing that It is wisely expended. “Revolutions never move back ward. If government regulation is unable to cope with the vexed prob lem that confronts ns, the people will accept government ownership as the next step ahead. “It le, therefore, a matter of great Importance that we should earnestly endeavor to reach a fair and reason able solutlpn of the problem of regu lation at as early a day as possible. After discussing the difficulties of dealing with the railroads through the varying jurisdictions of ths State and federal governments, Mr. Under wood enld: “It can not be denied that public control has reduced the rates charg ed for transportation and abolished unjust discriminations given to fav ored shippers, but the greater prob lem remains unsolved. Can the money be provided to expand and de velop these great public works In a manner commensurate with the ex panding needs of our commerce un der the present system of public con trol? “If railway investments can not be made attractive to capital Is not the nation threatened with an Inevitable breakdown of Its transportation sys tem?” •>srf la the onerttlons.

The silencing of the Kum Kale forts finally open the entrance to the Dardanelles. When the fleet p&ssed within the Straits ts operations were not yet beyond the watcher, and my friend was still able to observe the work of the warships In clearing the passage. On one occasion, he tells me, par ties of marines were landed In order to complete the destruction of the enemy’s works. ' These forces were always withdrawn at nightfall, and their work was always accomplished without loss to themselves. “Another Interesting feature of th$ operations,” says my Informant, “was the Indirect fire upon some batteries higher up on the north side of the waterway. The battleships were plac ed off the coast, apposite Imbres Is land, and.they sent shells shrieking over the heights and down on the bat teries on the othe/ side of the penin sula. “I could see the water planes out, apd doubtless they were directing the fire of these ships. It was impossible for me, of course, to see whst dam age was done, but if one may lodge by the commotion which could oe ob served, It must have been consider able. T believe the water planes, be sides being employed In the observa tion and direction of the battleships’ fire, also dropped bombs on some fort* and batteries lying higher up the Dardanelles.” * When my frlen I left the island the warships could go well within the straits, and the distance from his sta tion was preventing his observation of the operations with anything like certainty. “It was a magnificent spectacle, he said In conclusion, “and any one Ipcky enough, as I was to see It will not'forget It during his lifetime.” Artillery Placed on Frontier.
