BRITAIN HOLDS TWO AMERICAN
NesSclS-They Were Bound for Ger
many With Supplies.

London, April -. England's
blockade Of Germany netted two
American victims to-day. The steam
ers Joseph w. Fordney and Navajo
were captured by British cruisers and
taken into Kirkwall, Scotland.
The Fordney was bound from New
York to Malmo, Sweden, and the Ma
Vajo from Galveston to Bremen.
The Fordney, a steamer Of 2,4OS
tons, commanded by Capt. Smith,
sailed from New York on March 20,
While her cargo was consigned to a
Swedish port, English officials be-
lieve that its ultimate destination
was Germany. The steamer is own
ed by the Merida Steamship Com
pany, and its port OF registry is
Cleveland.
The Navajo sailed from Galveston
March 3. She is of I'll tons and
commanded by Capt. Jacobsen. She
is owned by the Western Steamsh' p
Navigation Company and her port of
registry is San Francisco.
Prize crews have been placed on
both the Fordney and Navajo and
they will have to go before a prize
court Their captains communicate
ed with the owners to-day and steps
have been taken looking to action by
the American embassy.
Purchase WilhcImina's Cargo.
London, April 13.-The British
government definitely has agreed to
purchase the cargo of the American
steamer Wilhelmina and to compen-
safe the owners for loss. An agree
ment to this effect was reached to-
day between the w. l.. Green Com
mission Company, Of st. Louis, and
the government.
The Wilhelmina left New York for
Hamburg January % with food pro-
ducts, and was taken into custody by
the British marine authorities.
Great Britain agrees to pay the
price the owners would have realized
on the cargo had it gone to Ham
burg, and the additional loss sus-
tanned in consequence of the ship be-
ing stopped. A referee to be named
by American Ambassador Page and
Sir Edward Grey will determine the
total amount due the owners.

Ballied by DardanelleS.

Chanak Kalessi. Dardanelles,
March 13.-(By Correspondence.) J.
FirsC efforts OF the British and
French to force the Dardanelles
demonstrated that this task is far
more difficult than at first supposed,
according to Turkish opinion. Heavy
bombardments on March and z of
the defense works near this town
and Kalid Bahr, and futile attempts
to clear the channel Of mines the
night Of March 10 and II, show that
the waterway is better defended than
British and French authorities may
have thought. For the last six days
the works guarding entrance to the
inner Dardanelles have not been
bcmbardcd, and during the last two
nights no serious attempt at mine
clearing has been made.

along a wide front between Bartgeld
and Czsok, descending the southern
slope Of the Carpathians and press
ing back the Austriaus. In the
Dukla region also the Russians are
said to have routed tn Austrians,
forcing them to abandon stores and
| transports in their retreat
France reports continued progress
in the Argonne and beyond the Me-
use, but admits that the German
counter attacks have been exceeding
ly fierce. At Eparges the French
have not advanced beyond the posi-
tions they captured April 8. Paris
admits also that the Germans have
recovered some lost ground be-
tween Pont-a-Mousson and St.
Mihiel. Along the line between the
Disc and the Aisne, where compara-
tive quiet has prevailed for several
weeks, fighting is reported, but there
are no indications as to it's extent or
result.

Vienna, April 12.-An official
statement on the war situation, given
out in Vienna to-day. reads:
"The general situation is without

Western Galicia there have been ar
tillery engagements. In the Carpa-

Little Gained by Allies.

While it is true that the allies
have silenced the forts at Kunkale
and Sidd-El-Bahr, and two minor
positions near there, it would be fall
laciOus to assume that this lessened
materially the proportions Of the al
lies task. Kunkale and Sidd-El-
Bahr were reduced easily, because
it was possible to take them under
enfilade fire, but the allies gained
little by this. To-day Turkish in
faEtry holds the ground about the
silenced batteries. An attempt on
March to occupy Kunkale and
Sidd-El-Bahr ended in the rout OF a
landing party, OF whom 70 or so
were killed and others drowned. The
losses of the Turks were at Sidd-El-
Bahr, killed, Ia wounded; at Kun
kale, killed, and 81 wounded

DO THIS FlRSI-Y0U!

You know, apo every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even a severe cold, relapse
IS feared, because sickness robs the
system Of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up a wom-out
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, .-lood- making oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe SCOTS Emul-
sion aftersiclmess. Nurses everywhere
advocate it. SCOTS is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.

to keep ins this country over half
million men exclusively for home de-
fence.
These are the broad reasons for our
assertion that. we need at least 4,0OO,-
900 men in, Khaki. 1t is understood
that Lord Kitchener by an immense
achievement has obtained some three
quarters of that number or more by
voluntary service. A definite, state-
ment on that point would have a pro-
found effect at home and abroad. 1t
would strengthen Lord Kitchener's
personal position, as well as that OF
the Government and the country, to
an extent far outweighing, in our
view, any object that can be gained
by a continuance of a secrecy which
does not deceive the enemy in the
least, but only spreads doubt, dissen-
sion and depression amongst our
selves whilst perplexing our Allies. On
what system. voluntary or obligatory,
ere we to raise the rest Of the men We
require? That is a question which
still needs to be very carefully handled,
and we deal with it specially else
where. Here we need only emphasize
two considerations.
Lord Kitchener has not the least
intention of icing remembered as the
man who, by slowpess and made
quacy, lost the greatest Of wars. We
may be certain that he means to get
by hook or by crook the rest of the
men he requires. and that he will
shrink from nothing to obtain them as
they are needed. We aave to remem-
Der what is the actual situation and to
distinguish between prime and secon-
dairy necessities. Wars are won by
the numbers of equipped men in the
field, not by numbers, however large,
OF unequipped or half-equipped' men in
training. It is Of cardinal importance
to awaken the whole country to the
extent of the effort (, required-to
schedule, enroll and form as soon as
possible every man of the 100000
ultimately required for the purposes
we have sketched. But it is of an i'm
mediate Importance far greater still to
equip fully and to put into the actual
fighting lines, West and East, another
half million Of the men We already
have. Both purposes, fuller enrolment
and fuller mobilization for the war
abroad. are vital, but the second must
obviously take precedence. %

THE REASONS, i.
WHYBRIToN NEEDS:
! I DO D. MEN En-
(London Discovery

(London Observer)
First, as to fighting men. Let us
clear our minds on some points Of
military organization at home. - We
need at least 100000 men. That fig
ure is now almost universally accept
ed, though The Observer was far the
first, SO far as we are aware, to make
that estimate. Certain considerations
prevent us from showing fully on what
calculations that reckoning is based.
Some broad reasons are obvious
enough. 1t is now known that recent
ly we have very largely extended the
length of fl ont we were holding in
France. During the coming months
we must extend the British manned
trenches again, until from the sea to
a point deep in the northern depart
ments Of France we hold hundred
miles of line. That this, in view of
the ultimate necessities of an Allied
offensive, ought to mean at last a mill
lion and a quarter Of British troops on
the Western line, with as many in re-
serve behind them at home, is what
any soldier can calculate.
AS for the Dardanelles, it is matter
of life and death for the whole future
of the British Empire in the East to
do our work in the Ottoman Empire
thoroughly. whether by the present
Gallipoli expedition alone or by COL
lateral operations. We have always
been in favor, as our readers are aware,
Of the collateral opertions. If the
nations were wise it would fasten with
might and main upon the problem OF
capturing Constantinople and opening
the Black Sea. We began on Gallipeli
with military numbers far, below the
requirements of that grim task. For
ensuring the proper result Of the war
by attacking the Central Empires
through the Balkans, on what we have
ventured' TO call the Middle Front, in
conjunction with some Of our present
and future. allies, we ought to have as
much as half a million British troops
in the East, with again as many in re-
serve behind them at home. 1t sounds
a very big effort, but nothing less than
efforts Of quite unusual bigness will
bring Germany and her partners to
the ground, no matter how long the
war lasts. Apart from that. it is
thought necessary by most authorities
