SWEDISH SHIP HITS
Mine OFF ENGLAND
Steamer Hanna Founders;
Loses Six Men-Sub-
marine Traps Laid.

Hull (via London, March 13.-Four-
teen survivors of the crew Of the
Swedish steamer Hanna, which was
torpedoed by a submarine of Scar
borough, on the east coast of England,
early this morning, were landed here
this evening by steamer which
picked them up. Six of the crew were
either drowned or killed by the explo-
sion.
The second mate, who was on the
bridge at the time of the attack, stated
tonight that he did not see the sub
marine, which gave no notice OF her
intentions. He saw the torpedo APP
preaching the vessel, but 1t was too
late TO manpuvre the ship so as TO
avoid it. The explosion caused the
forepart of the deck to fall in, i'm
prisoning several Of the crew IN the
forecastle.
The vessel continued to float for half
an hour after being struck, giving the
survivors time to take TO the boats.
The Hanna was bound from the Tyne
for Las Palmas, Canary Islands. When
she was torpedoed she was displaying
her national colors, according to the
survivors, and had her name and ma
tionaity painted on her sides IN let
ters reaching from the bulwarks to the
waterline. Therefore, the rescued men
declare, it was impossible for her to
be mistaken for British ship.

ARTILLERY ATTACK
FAILS TO MAKE WAY
New Troops Arriving to Aid in
Drive Against Polish City
Cars Chiefs Prepared.

Petrograd, March 13.-The German
sian line extending in front of PrGasnyz
and northeastward appears to have
been checked, at least temporarily The
invading forces threatening Przasnysz
reached a point within 1900 yards Of
the Russians trenches before they
were forced 10 retire.
A noticeable slackening in the vigor
of the German offensive in Northern
Poland is noticed in to-nght's official
statement from the Russian General
staff, which claims a few successes OF
local character.
The Germans appear TO be setting
the stage with much deliberation for
the new attempt on Przasnysz. The
artillery engagement which has been
IN progress evidently was intended TO
feel out the Russian positions and clear
the arena for the advance OF the Ger
man infantry. Under cover OF the ar
tillery fire the Germans are placing
newly arrived troops.
The Russian General Staff is alive
to all these preparations and expresses
confidence as to the outcome OF this
Lew phase of the campaign.
Contemporaneously with their artil-
lery attacks the Germans are putting
out thanking columns to the right and
left. Russian forces have come into
contact with the column protecting the
German right wing in the Plonsk dis
trict, at the village of Chekanow, four
miles east of Plonsk. where there was
a lively skirmsh yesterday.
In the Carpathians the Russians
have dislodged the Austro- German
forces from their fortified positions
at Lupkow and Smolnik, driving back
their opponents toward the mountain
pass commanding that district.
In East Galicia efforts of the Aus
trians TO turn the Russian position in
the region of Stanislau have been de-
feated.

March 13.-An attempt on the part Of
the Turkish army operating in Turkish
Armenia 10 drive back the Russian
force which has advanced westward
along the shore of the Black Sea from
Batum has met with defeat. The Turks
assumed the offensive in the River
Tchoruk district on March Q, but were
thrown back The Russians captured
an entire battery of the Turks guns.
Reverses also have been sustained
by the Turkish forces in Northwestern
Persia. They were compelled TO re-
treat a considerable distance in the
districts of Khoi and Dilman. At Dill
man. which is sixty miles north of
Urumiah. the Russians captured sew
eral heavy guns and a quantity Of am
munition. The Turks lost heavily in
killed and wounded and the Russians
took large number of prisoners.

KINGS TRAIN BEARS
u. S. RELIEF FOOD
Supplies Taken to Starving
French in Section of Bavarian
Rulers Special.

London, March 13.-With an Ameri
can representative of the Belgian Re-
lief Commission sitting on top of
freight car, eating German sausages
with a German soldier. eight cars,
carrying $50 tons of -four for the
starving civilians of Northern France,
were recently moved from Sedan to
Charleville as the second section of
train in which the King Of Bavaria
was travelling
Announcement of this striking jour
ney was made by the relief commits
sion to-day, which at the same time
gave out picturesque account of the
trip. II seems that from time to time
food donated for the Belgians is sent
into Northern France, where the pow
erty is acute. Recently eight cars full
Of food were sent from Namur to
Sedan. To move them thence to
Charleville was a problem, solved only
when a German major suggested that
the supply train be run as the second
section of the royal train.
The procession received an ovation
all along the line, and there was tre-
mendous cheering when the destina-
ton was reached.

SUBMARINE PANIC
WAVES IN BRITAIN

London, March 13.-The submarine
panic is past for the present. This
is shown by the decreasing demand for
passage on the American Line, with its
protection from the American flag. The
st. Paul sailed to-day with about ono
hundred and fifty passengers, a num-
Der which indicates a marked falling
of since last week, and did not even
require a special boat train TO Liver
pool.
The passenger list shows the effect
of the reduction Of rates on the Cunard
Line and that people no longer hesitate
TO travel under the English flag. The
Baltic reached Liverpool last night
after quiet passage. She saw no sign
of submarines.

KEY TO CAMPAIGN
SEEN In BOSPORUS
London Editor Says Allies
Must Establish Ring
Around Enemy.
by Gable 10 The Tribune. J

London. March Al. l.. Garvin, re-
viewing in "The Observer" to-day the
events OF the week, says all the old les
sons of sea power have been vindicated
in as full measure as even Admiral
Mahan could have desired.
"The war problem" he says, must
be regarded as all one. We must not
look at it too exclusively from the
standpoint Of the muddy angle of Flan-
ders. Constantinople is more surely a
master key than Antwerp. Through the
opening of the Dardanelles and the
Bosporus the sea power of the Allies
might gain a more direct and vital
bearing on the whole military problem
than through our command OF the
Straits of Dover and the Channel.
THE grand alliance cannot be a real,
strategical combination until the force
of Great Britain France and Russia
are in full working concert from the
North Sea the Black Sea. Until that
is achieved nothing more will be esta--
lished than the preliminary conditions
of success. On land the German
armies still seek and hope to shatter
the Allies on one side or the other in
a way that would break up the siege
altogether, or at least prevent the
circle from closing for months. We
have been defeating that effort and
foiling huge sorties of German and Aus
trjan forces. It may take up our time
for some months yet to obtain TINS
mighty pressure. As for all the rest o.
{ ; colossal task before the Allies. and
especially before this country, the main
work is yet to do.
Must Attack on Weak Side.
"The central empires are like vast
four square fortress, pressed or men
aced from two quarters. but stllI Tree
on its southern or weakest side. ] ne
northern force fronts the Baltic, where
the Germans consider themselves un-
as.ailable, and We must admit 1t up 10
the present.
"The Allies have in any case still TO
create an assured and crushing pre-
ponderancc of men and guns and am
munition, which they must possess be-
fore they can batter clean through the
enemy's present lines and break into
the heart of his dominion. From the
earliest ages this sort of smashing su-
periority in mechanical enginery OF
war has been the chief secret of siege
craft.
"Sea power again puts the enemy on
lower rations and hinders the replen-
ishment of his indispensable material,
but only successes of the Allies land
operations at the latter stage in the
granary areas of Hungary and East
Prussia could bring the German En-
pire from shortage to scarcity and from
dearth at last to stark famine and sur
render.

Work May Require Year.


at may well require another year OF
struggle before it comes to that. as in
the end it will If the governments of
the Allies are remotely equal to the
task before their peoples 1t will be
soon. We do not underestimate the
strength OF the place, its power to
hold out for long time yet, the stocks
of its supplies, the confidence OF its
inhabitants, the capacity of its famous
workshops and forges, the vigor OF its
garrison or defending armies. If we
do not underestimate these things, let
US see 10 il that they are not eNag-
gerated, as there is some marked ten
dency to do.
There is nothing in the obstacles,
big as they are, but what is manage
able by the superior strength which
the Allies have it in their power 20 de-
velop. Stupendous as are the proc
esses of attack and resistance in this
war Of peoples. the problem is OF the
kind that has existed since Troy,
though about as much larger in degree
as the Encyclopaedia Britannica is
larger than the Had.
1--WE must not be misled by distinc-
tions between major and minor opera
tions. Constantinople is at present the
chief key TO the main purpose OF turn
ing the whole European situation more
decisively 10 the advantage of the Al
lies. II is vital to establish direct and
free contact between all the forces
naval and military of Russia, France
and Great Britain. Bloody and stubborn
engagements at the outset must be cX-
pected but success in them would fin
ieh the job. The more strongly the
lilies undertake their military busi-
1ess. the sooner will the work bo put
through. and the sooner will all the
forces engaged in it be released for
work elsewhere. Once the Allies grasp
Constantinople, their cause. in our con-
viction, will never look back"

TOBACCO CROP IN KINDS.

Clinton, MISS. Oct. 30--It has been
thoroughly demonstrated that Kinds
county has every element in the soil
for good hay production and ]. A.
Boothe, who moved to this community
something more than year ago, has
proved clearly that this IS one of the
best tobacco soils in all the country.
On one acre in which stood two large
pine trees, which shaded quite deal
of his lana, he gathered twelve hun.
dred pounds of AL grade of the frag-
rant leaf. At Henderson, KY, where
he formerly lived, Mr.. Boothe says
that the average product is about sew
Zen hundred pounds to the acre, and
that thousand pounds to the acre is
considered a bumper crop, 1t is be-
lieved that no country has more fa-
,vorable conditions for producing all
sorts of grains, tubers, hay, figs, stock
of all kinds, and tobacco. The eyes
of the world will soon be centered on
this section of the state. And rightly
so, for the possibilities are here.
