It has been found difficult to make immediate re- pairs to the Gaulois because of the stormy weather and high seas.

MEMORABLE WEATHER
 IN THE DARDkNELLESI
Has Prevented the Operation of the
 Allied Fleets.

London, March 21.-The admiralty tonight made the following announce ment:
 Unfavorable weather has interrupt ed the operations in the Dardanelles and as seaplane reconnaissances have not been pissible the amount of dam age done to the forts by the bonn bardment of the 18th cannot be as- certained.
 '.No great expectations should, how ever, be cased on this, as owing to the losses caused by drifting mines the attack was not pressed to its con- clusion on that day.
 'sThe power of the fleet to dominate the fortress by superiority of fire seems to be established. Various oth- CT dangers and difficulties will have to be encountered, but nothing has hap pened which justifies the belief that the cost of the undertaking will ex- ceed what has always been expected and provided for.
 ''The British casualties in the per- sonnel are siXty-one men killed, wounded and missing.
 Admiral De Robeck has telegraph ed to the admiralty as follows: I de- sire to bring to the notice of your Iordsships the splendid behavior of the French squadron. Their heavy loss leaves them quite undaunted. They were led into close action by Rear Admiral Guepratte, with the greatest gallantry.

Berlin, March 21 (via wireless to Sayville, N. Y)-An official statement on the progress of the. fighting issued today by the war office:
 ITO render more impressive our re- ply to the misdeeds of two French aviators in the open Alsatian town of Schlettstadt, some heavy bombs were dropped by German airships last night on the fortress of Paris and the rail- road junction at Compiegne.
 Southeast of Ypres a British aero plane was shot down and the aviators taken prisoners.

KITCHENER ANGRY WITH
 LIVERPOOL DoCKMEN,
They Refuse to Work Overtime-Are
 Delaying Munitions of War.

Liverpool, March 21, via London, 7.25 D. m-''f this appeal2has no effect l shall have to consider steps that will have to be taken to ensure what is required at Liverpool being done," was the declaration made by Lord Kitch- ener in a letter which he personally handed to James Sexton, secretary of the dockers' union.
 Lord Kitchener, who spent the week end inspecting the Liverpool, Man chester and Birmingham battalions of his new army, expressed surprised in his letter that there is a section among the Liverpool dockers who still refuse to work overtime during the week end and on Sunday. I feel sure that these men can hardly realize that their action in thus congesting the docks and delaying munitions of war and food required by our men at the front is however very serious and dangerous and must be stopped.
 I hope this message will put things right for the future. At this time we look to everw British man, whoever he may be, to do all in his power to help in carrying the war to a success full conclusion and in this your nen can do their share, thus helping their comrades now fighting in France.v

Breach Between Italy and Austria
RELATIONS HAVE REACHED AN
 ACUTE STAGE.
ITALY CALLS OUT MEN
Austrians Have Strengthened South ern Frontier-Austrians and Ger mans Warned to Leave Italy.

London. March 21. 10.30 p. m.-The relations between Italy and Austria are believed to have reached an acute stage. A despatch from Rome says Austrian and German subjects have been advised by their conSuls to leave Italy in the shortest possible time and the number of Germans who re- gently arrived in Italy are being watch ed because of the suspicion they are military spies
 There have been reports for some days that Germany's efforts to se- cure the continued neutrality of Italy by inducing Austria to cede Trent and other territory to her were not meet ing with success. Italy, it was said, was demanding that the territory be handed over to her at once, but the Teutonic allies desired to make the transfer after the war;
 Italians Called to the Coiors.
 Following this came reports that Austria had commenced strengthen ing her southern frontier and ac- cording to a despatch received in Paris from Rome today, Italian officers of all arms belonging to the first line who have been on half pay, have been call ed to the colors:: In military circles here the order is considered signifi- cant, it being contended these officers belong to the public administration, from which they would not be called unless the situation was serious. No Austrian news on the subject is avail able in London, the censor in that country having, it is said, prohibited any comments.
 Greece is Becoming Active.
 There are also reports that Greece is preparing to adopt a more active attitude. Following @ series of pro longed cabinet meetings at Athens, the Greek minister of marine is quot ed as having said that the Greek gov ernment had received all guarantees and to have indicated that the coun- try was about to engage in some en- terprise.
 As the chief objection to Premier Venizelos' policy of helping the allies against Turkey was declared to have been Greece had no guarantees that she would receive adequate compensa- tion, this statement of the minister of marine is considered in high circles in London as an intimation that the new Greek government is now satis- fled with the allies guarantees.

notified and searchlishts flashing from the vicinity of the EiffeI Tower to the heights of Montmarte caused the keen est interest and excitement among the population of the awakened city but there was no panic. Thousands strain ed their eyes in an effort to catch glimpse of the invaders, which many claimed to have seen moving swiftly in the vicinity of Madeleine, or to watch the work of French airmen. Many of the tinHid sought refuge in cellars or other places of safety where they remained until sure all danger was past. The comparatively few per sons who were in the streets were in terested spectators, apparently care less of possible danger. All taxicabs stopped and the occupants forced to alight.
 Explosion of Bombs.
 Soon a distant roar was heard, but it was not known whether it was caused by the explosion of bomsb dropped by the Zeppelin or by the fire of anti-aircraft guns. Then reports were received of the explosion of bombs in the Batignol1eS quarter and in the Rues Dulong and Desdames, thus making it certain that German aircraft had made another surprise attack.
 Reports followed of two powerful explosions between Puteaux and Su- renes. suburbs of Paris. Residents of Ill1S SeCL1Ou T6QOIIeu ndN1nS seen a large dirigible flying towards the south and then returning to the north. The searchlight on Mont Varelin flashed its rays on the craft At the same time cannon firing was heard, as well as the whirring of a powerful motor. Gradually the Zeppelin disappeared from view in the mist.
 Eight Bombs Thrown at Asnieres.
 Official reports show that eight bombs were thrown at Asnieres, where three persons were wounded. An in cendiary bomb set fire to a house at Neuilly, but no one was hurt and the flames were quickly extinguished. Miraculous Escape of a Baby. One of the projectiles fell through the roof of residence at Lagarenno into the nursery where a baby was asleep in it's cradle. Almost every piece of furniture in the room except the cradle was smashed by flying fragments. The child was not touch ed.
 Two women living in the Rue Ro- card at Levallois-Perret whose hus- bands are at the front, were awakened by an incendiary bomb dropped
 through the roof The chemicals which the missile contained burst into hurt.
 Ten persons living in a little one story house in the Place Courcelles, also at Levallois-Perrit, had narrow escapes when a bomb apparently some what heavier than the others wrecked the building.
 Other bombs fell in the Rue Des Danes and the Rue Du Long without injuring any of the residents

American Ship
 Sunk by Mine
OFF THE GERMAN COAST ON
 FEBRUARY 22.
3 OF THE CREW KILLED
Explosion Caused One of the Boilers to Blow Up-carib Was Bound for Bremen With a Cotton Cargo.

New York, March 21-The destruc- ticn of the American steamship Carib. which struck a mine off the German coast on Feb. 22. while en route with a cargo of cotton from Savannah to Bremen, was described today by off cers of the vessel who arrived here as passengers on the Holland American line steamship NieuW Amsterdam from Rotterdam.
 Boiler Blew Up.
 The mine was hit, the officers said when the Carib was within a two hour run of the safe waters of the WezT river and within thirty miles of Nor derndey. A Holland North sea pilot taken on board off the Hook of Hol- lard, was on the bridge at the time and the explosion caused one of the Carib's boilers to blow up almost sim ultaneously. Three members of the crew of the Carib on duty in the en- zine and fire rooms were killed and several others had narrow escapes. 2e Survivors Picked Up.
 The contact with the mine came about amidships on the starbOard side and officers declared that a hole was blown in the Carib's side and bottom extending from the keel to the rail, ot such size that a 1ifeboat laden witl men could easily have entered. The 2S survivors took to the lifeboats and were picked up by the German patro steamer Anna Busse, a converted trawler, and were taken into Bremen haven. The last seen of the Carib, the officers said, was when she settled bows on. in about 70 feet of water, hel topmasts marking her final resting place.
 The Men Killed.
 The men who lost their lives were William Bazzel, third engineer of the Carib, on duty in the engine room; ar Oiler and a coal DaSSer They were evidently instantly killed as nothing was seen of them or their bodies. al though every effort was made to reacf them.
 Blindine Cloud of Steam.
 Other men of the fire and engine room watch fought their way through a binding cloud of steam and coal dus and stifing fumes Of the explosive III the ladders to the deck, falling ex- haustedl into the arms of their com panions waiting to receive them ant carry them to the lifetoats. So rapid was the thrush of the wa-er that some of the men had almos to swim to the ladders to reach the deck
 Besides Captain Edgar I. Cole, the following officers of the Carib returned on the Nieuw Amsterdam. Crew Returned to New York.
 First Mate George Clifford; Third Mate J. Winnett; George Keowen chief engineer; Frank Hubal anG Thomas Tracy, assistant engineers The crew of the Carib is aboard the steamship Southerner, which left Rot terdan for New York March 5. The Carib, a vessel of 1,2S0 tons net regis ter, was formerly in the Clyde line ser vice out of New York. With other ships she was chartered by a Savan- nah firm early i'll January to carry cotton to Bremen.
