GAIN IMPORTANT
Advance Nearly Two Miles on ; Line That Dis-
tance Wide
A despatch from Pavia says: The
victory won by the' British troops
north of La Basscc, where they cap-
tured -the village of Neuve Cha-
pelle appears from additional de-
tails of the affair received to have
been the .greatest single a<:lvenee
which the British hate made since
the fighting entered upon its pre-
sent stage:
In addition to the capture of
Ni'UNT Chapelle itself, the British
offensive resulted in the occupa-
tion of German trenches over a
front of 2,500 metres, the attack
reaching its furthest point one and
a quarter miles beyond the village.
Thus the British troops advanced
nearly two miles on a line about
that distance wide,
The British are holding; tl sir
gains, despite a number of counter-
attacks.
It is believed that the improve-,
meat n the British position
brough.abuut by the victory is of
great importance and, if pressed
further, might eornpel the Ger-
mans to et acuate La Basses and
perhaps other points which make
their line so strong at present,
Equally important was the success
achieved by British airmen in de-
stroying the railway junetions at
Merin and Courtrai. These 'are on
one of the German main lines of
communication, and their destruc-
tion: will delay the arrival of new
contingents of troops, which are
reported to be again concentrating
in Belgium for another attempt to
break through to Calais and Bou-
logne. According to Duteh reports
these troops have brought with.
them a large number of boats for
the passage of the canals and
rivers, and for the first time in
months they include cavalry units.
DEFEATED DEPRESSION.
Newspaper Advertising Campaign
Swelled Firm's Orders.
The results of a $200,000 cam-
paign of newspaper advertising
that brought, in the midst of the
business paralysis following the
outbreak of the European war, a
maximum gain in business of 70 per
cent. over the flourishing trade of
the same period aye.ar before were
announced by George M. Brown,
president of a roofing company,
with its parent manufacturing cen-
tre in East St. Louis, Missouri.
While other manufacturers were
bemoaning the depression, Mr.
Brown's concern broadened its
scope until, completely outstrip-
ping even the record of its most
prosperous era. it is exhibiting for
January and February last aseries
of colossal gains. For these two
months. _Mr. Brown says, the maxi-
mumi gain in business was 70 per
cent. in some departments, and the
minimum gain in any department
was 19 per cent. over the corres-
ponding period in 1914, when con-
ditions generally were at or above
normal.
Not one of the concern's 1,600
employes has been laid off a min-
ute since the newspaper advertis-
ing campaign was started, and all
have received their regular sala-
ries or wages. Three shifts were
kept at work daily all fall and win-
ter.
I Bii`A'Il2' Es :iixsSI\.G.,
Eight of Them Are Among Enemy's
Newest Boats.
A despatch from London says:
A report has been sent from Cux-
haven to .the Admiralty at Berlin
that twelve submarines have failed
to report .at their base,eight of
them being among Germany's new-
est boats.
Three German Generals
Have Been Retired.
A despatch from Berlin says: The
Militair Wachenblatt announces
the retirement of Major-General
von Doemming, the commander of
a German infantry brigade, and
Major -Generals von Glasenapp and
von Gravenitz, commanders of
cavalry brigades.
RUSSIA DRINKING TEA.
Both German and Russian. Troops
Are Using It.'
Elimination of the vodka from.
Russia has evidently started that
immense nation tea -drinking. Ac-
cording to The New York Journal
of Commerce, heavy buying by
Russia. of India and Ceylon teas has
caused abnormal prices for these
teas, the quotations being from 8
to 10 cents a, pound higher than a,
year ago. From reports in•the
trade the Russians are buying all'
the India-Ceylons available, and
there is a likelihood of prices going]
still higher.
Not only is the Russian army
using tea in enormous quantities
now, but the Kaiser long ago or-
dered it for his troops. Unusually
large buying by these two nations
and their entrance into new mar-
kets as competitors have placed
the tea market in a tight position.
It has been previously pointed out
in these columns that Britain is
turning more to tea -drinking.
United States drinks 90,000,000
pounds a year. To these factors
the Canadian tea trade is sensitive,
and advances in market values are
not unlikely.
Expelling Civilians
From Occupied France.
A despatch from Geneva says:
Thirty thousand civilian inhabi-
tants of French territory occupied
.by the-'Germacls..are; being eatpelied
Through Switzerland in lots of 500.
The first thousand passed, through
Geneva on Tuesday. They were
chiefly from Lille and Maubeuge„
and consisted of very old people
and children under ten years.
Some of the French children said
that they had often gone near the
fighting line to get food. The ex-
iles were sent across the French
frontier by the Swiss authorities.
Russia Will Issue
New Polish Decree.
A despatch from London says:
Reuter's Petrograd correspondent
says it is understood in the Rus-
sian capital that an important de-
cree relating to the autonomy of
Poland and the recognition of the
Polish language will be issued
shortly.
BRITISH CRUISER IS TORPEDOED
Steamer Searching for Survivors of the Auxiliary
Warship Driven Off by Enemy Submarine
•
A despatch from London says :
The ldrniralty, announces the loss
of the auxiliary cruiser Bayano
evhile the • vessel was engaged in
patrol duty. In its statement of
the disaster the Admiralty says:
"On the nth of Marenh wreckage
of the Bayano and bodies were dis-
covered, and circumstances point
to her having been sunk by an
enemy torpedo."
The statement gives the names of
Lieut, -Commander Guy and three
other officers and' four of the crew
who were rescued and landed by
the auxiliary patrol vessel Tarn.
Eighteen more of the crew, of
whom two are no -w in a [hospital at
Ayr, were landed by the steamship
Ealmerino. •
"It is probable that all • others
aboard the Bayane were lost.
`' Cap Iain McGarrick, of the
steamship Castlereagh, which land-
ed at Belfast, reports that his ship
passed on Thursday morning a
quantity of wreckage and dead
bodies floating in lifebelts. He
attempted to seare'h the spot in the
hope of saving -any. who might still
be alive, but was prevented by the
appearance of an enemy submarine,
which chased him for about 20 min-
utes."
Commander Carr and 13 other
officers are named among the miss-
ing, and it .is presumed they were
lost.
The Belfast correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says the Bayano
was torpedoed Thursday morning
at 9 o'clock. off Corsewell Point,
Wigtonshire, Scotland, and that
nearly 200 lives were lost, as the
cruiser •sank almost immediately..
The vessel had a crew of about 216
men on board.
Wigtons+hare is the south -western-
most county in Scotland. It lies, on
the North Channel, which lends
into the Irish Sea from the .Atlan-
tic.
20 000 000 Pigs
7 9
to Killed b� Of f
A despatch .from Bernesays:. It
is estimated that there are twenty
million pigs in Germany, and the
cry now raised is death to the pigs,
because of the gi.uantity of potatoes
they consume. Calculated ,;t only
sixteen, millions the pigs must be
killed ,at the rate of 400,000 daily
and their meat 'purchased by the
various eommttnes preserved. Bach
pig killed between now and mid-
April, it is estimated will ensure
the 'existence of ten Germans until
October,

The Pirate Chiefs
Threaten Reprisals.
A despatch from Berlin says: In
naval circles it is declared that a
searching investigation would be
instituted into the report that the
British Admiralty intends to with-
hold the customary honorable im-
prisonment conditions from Ger-
man submarine crews made cap-
tives, and that if Great Britain
places such Germans under spe-
tial restrictions retaliatory mea-
sures may be adopted.
The navy officials say the inves-
tigation will not be made through
diplomatic channels, but decline to
specify how their information will
be gleaned. They claim that should
Great Britain take the action she
contemplates this will not affect
the submarine war plans in the
slightest particular, nor have any
influence on the spirit of the crews.
Copper From Italy
Seized by the Swiss.
A despatch from Geneva says:
large quantities of copper from
Italy destined for Germany were
seized by the Swiss authorities at
Massa on Wednesday. The meth-
od employed for some time, accord-
ing to Swiss officials, has been to
send contraband from Gender in
sealed cars labeled Amsterdam.
These cars have passed through
Switzerland, and on crossing the
German frontier have been taken
in charge by the Germans, who re-
moved the freight and returned the
cars to Italy. The newspapers • have
published articles exposing this
traffic.
Hungarian Deputies
In Pessimistic Mood.
A despatch from Geneva says:
The Tribune has received 'a tele-
gram from Budapest, in whish it
is affirmed that an important fac-
tion of Hungarian deputies has pre-
sented a signed declaration to the
Hungarian Government, asserting
that the situation in Hungary,
politically and economically, is
desperate, and that half of the
Hungarian army has been destroy-
ed, a number of the regiments 'hav-
ing lost three-quarters of their
strength.
Save Germany's Oil
By Rising Earlier.
The London Standard says in a
despatch from Copenhagen: "From
April 1 the 'bands of every clock in
Germany will be advanced one
hour. It is estimated that one hour
el earlier rising during the six
summer months will amount to a
saving in the consumption of pe-
troleum equivalent to the value of
five million dollars. The real rea-
son for this new regulation, of
course, is the fact that petroleum
stock is decreasing ,at a rate calcu-
later to alarm the authorities."

Flank Attack in Carpathians,, Take
4,000 Prisoners
A despatch from London says:
While the Germans are launching a
newr offensive movement ,against the
Russian front in North Poland, the
Russians have initiated aseries of
crushing counter -blows against the
Austro -German forces in the. Car-
pathians and East Galicia, with
disastrous results for the enemy,
according to Russian official state-
ments from Petrograd.
Four thousand prisoners have
been taken by means of a flank at-
tack upon the Austrian forces in
the Carpathians, which resulted in
the capture by the Russians of the
towns of Lupkow and Smolnik, with
the surrounding heights. The booty
included two howitzers, two field
guns, seven machine guns and a
field hospital. The 4,000 Austrians
taken prisoners include 70 officers.
This brilliant operation was in
the Lupkow Pass. At the same
time the Austrians met with a ser-
ies of disasters in the region of the
'Gorlice Pass, A party of the en-
emy; crossing the Senhouka River,
were •surprised and annihilated
while endeavoring to fortify them-
selves. Austrian detachments at
:three other points in the region
were surrounded by Russian scouts
and compelled to surrender.
In'Eas'teru Galicia, on the Dnies-
ter River, three, squadrons of Prus-
sian Hussars -450 horsemen -were
attacked by Cossacks and "nearly
annihilated," in the words of the
Russian official report. Ten of
their officers and 25 men, who sur-
vived, were taken prisoner.

made to persons whose factories
the Government might commandeer
under the amendment to the de-
fence of the realm act, introduced
in the House of Commons on Tues-
day by Chancellor of the Exche-
quer Lloyd -George, the Chancellor
en Wednesday promised that every-
thing possible would be done to re-
duce inconvenience and loss. Con
tinuing, he said : "It is, however,
a natter of life and death with. this
country that we increase enormous-
ly our supplies of munitions of
war, in spite of the possible loss
to individuals. The national
needs are so overwhelming that I
hope those who are incon venienced
in the matter of contract, will put
up with it."

Editor Goes to Jail •
For Jibes at Kaiser.
A despatch from Gotha, Ger-
many, says : Herr Geithner, a So-
cialist member of the Saxe-Co-
bourg Diet, and editor of the
Gotha Volksblatt, has been sen-
tenced to three months' imprison-
ment for commenting sarcastically
upon Emperor William's statement
that he no lon.ger--knew parties, but
only Germans. The Volksb'latthas
been suspended.
FOE'S LOSS
3.000,000..
Calculation as to German Casual-
ties is Surprising.
An official note issued by the
French Press Bureau declares that
the German losses since the begin-
ning of hostilities in killed, wound-
ed, sick and prisoners, reaches the
enormous total of 3,000,000 men.
This calculation is based on the
known casualties in ten German
regiments.
"Analysis of the German losses
during five months, in ten regi-
ments taken from army corps on
both the eastern and western Ger-
man fronts, shows a total of 36, 281
officers and soldiers; that is, an
average per regiment of 725 month-
ly, earl's the note:" Applying this
percentage of losses to the entire
German army, including the land-
wehr, landsturm, new formations
and marines, the deduction is
made that the total German losses
during the seven months of the war
must exceed 3,000,000.
The note continues: "Even ad-
mitting that certain regiments suf-
fered 'less than those mentioned
above, all regiments have been vio-
lently engaged repeatedly on one
or the other of the two fronts,
sometimes on both, and it is im-
possible to arrive at a smaller fig-
ure for the total German losses,
including the sick, than 3,000,000."

BATIERIES ARE DESTROYED
Russian Brack Sea Fleet Within Striking Distance
of the Bosphorus
s. A despatch from Athens says: It
is reported from, Tenedos that the
butteries tat Dardanus have been
entirely destroyed. Fort Hamiclieh
has been. badly damaged. •The
allied feet directed a well -sustained
fire from a distance of 18,000 yards
against Chana Kalessi. The town
was damaged and inhabitants took
refuge in several of the villages on
the Asiatic littoral. Fort Chimikli
alone continues, to holdout. Drag-
ging for mines continues, but two
mine. fields remain intact.
Information was received here in
diplomatic quarters that the Rus-
sian Black Sea fleet has arrived
within striking distance of the Bos-
phorus and that an attack will be
made within a very short time on
the Turkish fortifications. The
operations will be ,carried en in
consonance with those of. the An-
glo-French fleet at the Dardanelles.
