canal zone, today reiterated his re-
quest that two torpedo boat destroy
ers be sent to canal zone waters to
prevent violation of neutrality
through the misuse of wireless and
the taking of supplies by belligerent
vessels. ~.
Because of the confidential nature

tary Garrison declined to make it

The substance of the despatch is
that in Colonel Goethals's Judgment
the misuse Of radio communication
within canal waters and the proven
tlon of the misuse of these waters as
q base of supplies requires the pres
ence OF swift moving ships of the va
riety mentioned. Since the questions
Involved require the consideration of
the state and navy department.

other departments and as soon. as the
requirements are fully asceftained
proper action will be taken to meet
them
Secretary Garrison declined to dis
cuss the situation in the canal zone or
to indicate which of the belligrents
was violating the neutrality OF the
United States.

more than $1,000 less than the price
at which private concerns supply
them; asked the committee to author

Is Seemingly Being Fought by
the Russians and Germans
for Control There.
ALLIED GENERAL ADVANCE
Through Belgium and France
is Believed in London and
France as Near.
~ AssoclArEp pRgss,

LONDON, Dec. 14-Little or no
change has been reported today on
the western battlefront and in the
east Russia and Germany continue
to fight seemingly endless battle
for the control Of western Poland.
English and French newspapers
unite in declaring that the time is
drawing near for the much discussed
general advance of the allies through
France and Belgium and some unoe
fetal reports say this move is about
to be undertaken If 1t has not actu-
ally begun. Progress necessarily
would be inch by inch and even the
most optimistic of the British observ-
ers, assuming that general forecast
movement Of the allies is to be es-
sayed, concede that 1t would be
spring before any appreciable prog
ress could be made. =
The feat of Lieutenant Commander
Holbrook in diving under FIVE rows of
mines in the Dardanelles and tope-
doing the Turkish battleship, Messu-
dieh, is described here as perhaps the
boldest marine exploit Of the
war. The submarine presumably
was not scratched. She escaped gun
fire and the pursuit OF torpedo boats
in manner truly remarkable and II
was necessary for her crew to endure
the ordeal OF remaining under water
for nine hours on stretch. Russian
guns have from time to time inflicted
some damage on Turkish warships
bombarding Russian ports but the
disaster reported today robbed the
1 Turks of its first big ship. The loss
of life is not estimated in the briei
announcement Of the episode given
Ilout officially today.
