TITANIC BATTLE
REP PORTED IN
WESTERN AREA
DEFINITE RESULTS IN THAT
QUARTER EXPECTED DURING
NEXT WEEK = OPENING STAGE
OF BIG FIGHT JUST BEGINNING.
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, March 13.-The Eattle now
raging around Przasnysz in the east
and operations about LaBasse in the
west, are both expected to develop into
events of military Importance during
the coming week, and much interest
centers today in the ultimate outcome
of these movements.
The Russo-German conflict around
Przasnysz is described by military crit
les today as being only in it's opening
stage, with both armies in heavy force
through the entire region. Encounters
reported thus far are believed to have
been unimportant in results.
Around LaBasse, more interest is
manifested in the massing of German
troope before Neuve Chappell, where a
notable British advance was scored two
days ago. The German intention to
regain their lost ground is becoming
more manifest hourly, and one of the
hardest-fought battles of the western
campaign is anticipated in that re-
gion early in next week.
Related dispatches from Constanti-
nople assert that up to last Friday the
Allied warships bombarding the forts
of the Dardanelles had failed to infict
any considerable damage upon the Tur-
kish defenses, but little reliance is
placed in the information which orig
mated from Turkish sources.
Italy's position regarding the war
continues to excite interest, Rome re-
ports late this afternoon asserting that
negotiations between that country and
Austria, relative to the proposed ces-
sion of Trent and Triest to King Victor
Emanuel's government, have been dis
continued Austria refusing to part
with Trieste at all and wishing to re-
tain Trent until the close of the Eu.
ropean war. The authenticity of these
rumors cannot be accurately establish
ed, but Italian military and
naval authorities public state the ma
ton is prepared for any eyentuality.

GERMAN OFFICER
ATTEMPTS DEFENSE
SINKING FRE|GATER
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 10
Count Won Bernstorff, German ambas-
sador to the United States discussed
the sinking of the american sailing
ship William P. Frye, with state depart
ment officials today The Frye, it will
be recalled was MT to the bottom OF
the Atlantic by the German auxiliary
cruiser Prinz Eitel Frederick.
The German diplomat presented a
statement of Commander Thierichsen
of the warship, defending the sinking
of the American vessel, the act being
permissible under the Declaration OF
London, according to his view. The
Frye, when overhauled by the Ger
man cruiser, had on board cargo OF
wheat consigned to an English fortified
port, and basing his action upon the
German declaration placing wheat up
on the contraband list, Commander
Thriechsen ordered the sinking of the
American ship. The officers and crew
of the Frye were taken on board the
warship, and landed during the pres
ent week at Norfolk.
Information from Newport News late
this afternoon says the Prinz Eitel
Frederick, which went into dry dock
yesterday, has returned to her dock
after having her bottom scraped, and
will remain there until action is taken
upon the request of the German gov
ernment for time in which to effect al
legged necessary repairs. The warship
is now anchored in the yards of the
Newport News Shipbuilding Company.

ALLIED ARMY Of
100000 TROOPS
WILL BAT TIE
WITH THE TURKS
(By Associated Press }

PARIS, March 13.-The lombard
ment of the Dardanelles was resumed
yesterday by French and British war
ships, according to an Athens dispatch
from Matines correspondent reaching
here shortly before noon today A
terrific fire directed upon the forts
during twelve hours cut great holes
in the defenses, but many of the forts
yet remain to be silenced before the
Allied fleet will be able to enter the
Sea Of Marmora.
Seventy small vessels engaged in
mine sweeping are now within the mar
rows, and hundreds of dangerous
mines have already been removed, ac-
cording to the Athens despatch. Eight
or ten of the larger fortresses as we'll
as one or two coast batteries are yet
intact, and the warships of the attack
ing squadron, are concentrating their
fire upon these.
Land forces are now actively coop
Grating with the fleet units and consid-
cradle progress has been made already
toward driving the Turk defenders
from the peninsula Transports in
the Gulf of Xeros today put ashore an
additional force numbering several
thousand troops, and it is now conf
IDENTIFY anticipated that the Anglo
French fleet will be inside the Sea of
Marmora within fortnight. The Rus
sian Black Sea squadron today began
bombarding the defenses at the other
end of the Golden Horn, where power
full batteries protect the Straits of the
Bosphorus from invasion. The ex-
tent of damage inflicted during these
operations is unknown.
Today's official statement issued at
the offices of the French ministry of
marine fails to sustain previous re-
ports that the allied feet had traversef
half the lsngth of the Dardanelles, the
bulletin dealing principally with events
occurring near the entrance of the
straits. This indicate the fleet faces
much more stupendous task than was
first supposed, it being believed prev
ious reports were based on results
obtained by indirect fire across the
Peninsula of Galipoli from the Gulf of
Xero5.
Turk troops now upon the peninsula
have been estimated at approximately
65 900 men, while an army considera-
bly, upwards of 100000 well-traine1,
hard veterans have been landed under
the colors of the allies, and this force

ANOTHER BRIDGE
SOLID CONCRETE
JUST COMPLETED

Another bridge-the second concrete
structure built on the Americus-Smith-
vile highway, had the finishing touch
es put upon it today and is now open to
traffic. So highly pleased were the
county commissioners with the two
concrete bridges built recently over
Muckalee and it's small tributary near
the Americus city limits, and opened to
traffic a few months since, that con-
tracts were at once made with the
same builder, Mr.. Scruggs, to con-
struct two similar bridges of steel
and concrete over Muckalee and Bear
creeks, on the Smithville road, at a
cost of near $1,000 for the two. Both
bridges are now finished, and the wis
dom of the commissioners in thus err
ecting permanent and enduring struc-
lures is quite evident. Sumter county
within year, has spent about $4,000
on steel and concrete bridges, but ii
was an excellent investment and one
insuring permanency in the work
completed.

BIGGEST BATTLE
Of WAR IS NOW
IN PROGRESS S
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, March 13.-The battle TAX
ing place in the east today, experts
assert, is the biggest pitched battle of
the war, with no less than million
men engaged. The Germans in their
official report claim an advance, while
Petrograd considers it likely that the
Russians will have to fall back beyond
Pryasynz, as they did last month, max
ing a stand there. 1t probably will
be days before definite result is at
tanned in this battle.
Meanwhile another German army has
appeared on the Pilica river front,
south of the Vistula, probably, mill
tary observers say, with the idea Of in
ducing Grand Duke Nicholas to with
draw men from the north, where real
blow is icing delivered.
Farther south, along the foothills of
the Carpathians, fighting between the
Austrians and Russians continues in
wintry weather. Each side claims the
other is doing the attacking, but it is
believed here that, as the Austrians
initiated this battle, they probably are
still the aggressors.
Interesting developments in the pol
itical field are expected to develop
during a fortnight. Prince Won Buelow,
the German ambassador to Italy, ac-
cording to Rome and Berlin dispatches
has raised the question of territorial
concessions to Italy as the price of
Italy's friendship. Germany, it is said,
is doing the negotiating on behalf of
her ally, Austria, whose territory in
involved
1t is said Germany is trying to in
duce Austria to cede to Italy both
Trent and Trieste. Baron Stephen Won
Burian, the Austrian foreign minister,
according to report, does not oppose
the cession of Trent, but strongly op-
poses parting with Trieste, while the
aged Austrian emperor refuses to con-
sent to the loss of any part Of his dom
inions.
1t is reported that Germany desires
to have the matter settled now in the
fear that should the Dardanelles be
forced Italy would te more than ever
inclined to throw her lot with the
entente allies to insure the safety of
her interests in the eastern Mediter-
ranean, depending on her army to re
cover her lost prcf incrs nearer
home.
German emissaries, according to dis
patches from Bucharest and Sofia, are
endeavoring to point out to Rumania
and Bulgaria why these countries
should remain neutral.

POLITICAL CHAOS
STILL CONTINUES
MEXICAN CAPITAL
CONDITIONS WORSE; LIVES OF
FOREIGNERS DEEMED UNSAFE.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 13.-
Continued anxiety regarding the safety
of Americans and other foreigners in
Mexico City was evident here today, al
though administration officials ex-
pressed confidence in their hope that
Emelio Zapata, whose forces now oc-
cupy the capital will maintain strict
order.
The rapid-fire evacuation of the capt.
tai by various forces in power there
during several months past has pro-
duced a chaotic conditions of affairs,
and some officials and diplomats con-
tinue to believe the lives of foreigners
there are wholly unsafe. Zapata dur
ing a previous occupation of Mexico
City, established a fairly liberal form
of civil government under military su-
pervision, but on the approach of Car
ranza's army deserted the place, leav-
ing no one in established authority.
Since that time conditions have stead
lily grown worse, and considerable
doubt exists regarding his ability to
restore normal conditions
