CONFIDENCE
No Important Operations Along
the Eastern and Western
Fronts
(By Associated Fini.)
LONDON. March 20.-Undaunted
by the loss of the battleships Bouvet.
Ocean aud Irresistible, the Allies are
proceeding with their attempt to force j I
the Dardanelles, confident of success, j <
The Turks, however, express con- :
fidence that the forts and the Klines j 1
in the straits will be able to keep out | i
the Allies' ships. lt
The French battleship Henri IV and 1
the British battleships Queen and Im
placable are on their way east to ?
replace the ships sunk by the mines ; I
and those ships which were damager
were undergoing repairs on the ?pot.
This, within a few days at the latest,
the fleet will be as formidable as
ever, while the Fl ss tan Black Sea
squadron ls believed to be ready to
cooper*.--'.
Except iu the case oft lie Bohvet, of
whpse crew only 64 were-saved, eas
dalties suffered in the bombardment
of Thursday are -said to be light. The
British admiralty tonight published
the losses among the officers on the
Irresistible, and although the ship was
sunk and the crew had to be trans
fered under a hot fire, the list con
tains the names of only four officers
killed and one severely wounded.
Part of the fleet reentered the I 1
straits yesterday, but owing to un- ? n
favorable weather the bombardment of
thc day before was' not repeated, and
proably the only object of the. war
ships as to prevent the Turks from
repairing the damage already done.
The admiralty states that steps aro
being taken' to deal with tbe mines,
but experts warn the public that so
long as the Turks havte mines to set
froe in the strong current which
rushes through the straits, the ships
will be exposed to that danger. The ?
direction of tho currents, of course, jA
is known, but with a big fleet opera
ting, some of tho ships must enter
thc area thus mined .and. lying across I
the straits to fire broadsides, offer
a large target to floating explosives.
Thc intentions as to thc landing of a
force arc closely guarded, but lt is
known that an army of considerable
size ls ready to attack the Turkish
forces along the Dardanelles when
the admirals, advise that the moment
has arrived.
Although fighting of more or less
intensity ls always In progress along
the eastern and western fronts, there
have been no Important operations
In the last few days.
The Germans claim small suc
cesses against the British near St.
Elol and against the French at Notre
Danie de Lorette, north of Arras, and
to have repulsed several French at
tacks* in Champagne, the Argonne for
est and the Vosges. But the French
communication Issued today Bays
nothing ot sufficient importance to re
.port has- happened.
In North Poland there have been
several affairs of the outposts, but
neither army apparently is attempt
ing any large operations while the
ground remains soft, unless the Rus
sian movement turns out to be more
Important than lt at present appears
to be. namely, a cavalry raid.
The Austrians, lt is said, have been
-reinforced In Bukowina, and they re
port they ha\t? repulsed Russian at
tacks there and in the Carpathians,
although In the latter reglen U ha*
generally understood that lt was the
Austrians and Germana who were act
ing on the offensive.
Neutral hteamers in European wa
ters are having rather an uncom
fortable time. The British have seiz
ed and are holding several. Including
the "Maracas, which are suspected of
haying contraband for Germany. The
Germans, besides seising two Scan
dinavian oli steamer in the Baltfs bave
just taken the Dutch steamer Zaan

Holland bsa formally protested to
Great Britain and France against the

a a statement saying Iiis investiga
tions at the treasury have convinced

Senator Simmons said there had
icen so many conflicting estimates of

.ertain the real facts."
Total estimated receipts in Septem
ber. 1913, were $7.o>G.000.000. Senator
Simmons said, and estimated expen
litures S718.000.000 showing $18.000.
100 excess of receipts.
'.The receipts from practically
(very source," he added, "have fallen
lelow the estimate, due to depressed
lusinesc conditions on account? of the
var in Europe. Although- the reve
ille derived "from internal revenue
ax probably will be increased by the
uergency revenue act over the csti
nates by about 320,000.000 there wa?
m March 15. an excess of ordinary
xpenditures over receipts of approx
mutely 8y.000.000 against a deficit of
24.000.000 in the ?ame date last year.
"The estimated receipts for the re
nalnder of the fiscal year total $226,

uents will amount to $207,000,000. an
ixcess of recetpts over expedilutes

'he increases are due iii part to the

Since thc war began and revealing *.
upparent rift In the Socialist ranks.
Ceorfge Ledebour, a Socialist deputy,
made the leading speech for hfs party
and during his remarks criticised thc
ficrman military authorities. Philipp
Scheidemann, another Socialist mem
ber, later made a formal statement in
behalf of the party, however disavow
ing Ledbour's attack abd Deputy
Meine one or the leading Socialists,
interrupted while Herr Ledebour waa
talking and shouted that the lattor
was not speaking on behalf of the So
cialists.
Deputy Lcdebour's offense consisted
in saying that he was absolutely hor
rified when a few day ago the military
authorities announced that they
would burn three llnsian villages for
every one burned by the Russians.
These words raised a stormy protest
among the non-Socialist mombers
wlvo shouted "treason!" "we protest!"
"call him to order!" and "shameless
n?s!!"
Dr. Karl Liebknecht, Socialist, in
terjected the word "barbarism'* for
which the president of the RetchBtag
later called him to order. Herr Stad
thagen, a Socialist member, criticised
tho censorship which he claimed ex
ceeded purely military requirements.
Thc German people, lie said, have
come ot an age where there do not
need a censorship. Freedom of the
press be seid, must be restored.. pre
cisely for the reason that Germany is
gaining a victory end the press must,
be allowed to discuss a basis of rea
