THREE BIG WARSHIPS
DESTROYED BY THE TURKS
Six Hundred and Thirty Men Perish
on One Ship-British Admiralty
Admits Loss.

London, March 22.-The greatest
blow suffered by the allies on the seas
since the war began was administered
by the Turks Thursday, when drifting
mines in the narrows of the Darca
nelles blew up and sank three OF The
largest battleships in the Franco.
British fleet while the ships were
bombarding eight of the Turkish forts.
The ships destroyed are the $4,000
ton British second line battleship IRE
sistible, the 12,500-ton British battle
ship Ocean and the 12,205-ton French
battleship Mouet. In addition, the
British dreadnaught cruiser Inflexible
and the French battleship Gaulois
were damaged by the gunfire from the
forts.
Nearly every man of the $50 in the
crew of the Bouvet was lost with the
ship, but almost the entire crews of
the Irresistible and the Ocean were
saved.
This tremendous loss was admitted
in an official statement given out by
the admiralty. Official dispatches
telling of the sinking of the Bouvet
from Constantinople via Berlin, be-
sides telling of the sinking of the Bou-
vet and saying the Irresistible was
put out of action" also claim that a
British torpedo boat was sunk, but
the English admiralty has not con-
firmed this fact.

RUSS CAPTURE
--
PRzEMYS|. FORT
Bio Battle Follows Fall of Aus
trian Troops.
TOTAL LOSSES ARE 100000
SIavs Enter City Without Firing Shot
Hunger and Disease Forces
Surrender-.Grand Duke and
General Decorated.

London, March 24.-The white flag
was hoisted on the fortress of Pre-
mysl on Monday and the Russian
army entered the city without firing a
shot after a siege of six months to the
day that has few parallels in history.
Fifty thousand Austrian soldiers, 200
officers and nine generals threw down
their arms and surrendered, worn to
the last extremity by disease and
hunger. The fall of the fortress is re-
garded in Petrograd and London as
the greatest victory for Russian arms
since the beginning of the war.
Following up quickly the advantage
gained by the capture of the Austrian
stronghold, the Russian army has be-
gun a gigantic battle along the en-
tire Carpathian front. Reinforce
ments have been rushed into the
fall of Przemysl' and everywhere the
Austrians are being attacked with
marked stubbornness.
The most violent conflicts are TAX
ing place in the vicinity of the Dukla,
Uszok and Lupkow passes, which are
the three principal passes nearest
Przemysl, from which they are dis
tant only about fifty miles.
The official statement received from
Petrograd says:
I'm consequence of the joyful event
of the surrender of the fortress of
Przemysl, Generalissimo the Grand
Duke Nicholas has been awarded the
St. Georges cross of the second de-
gree and General Seliwamoff, COM
mander of the army before Przemysl,
has been awarded the St. Georges
cross of the third degree"
Austro-German losses in the at
tempted sortie from Przemysl and the
fighting south of Tarnow in the last
4S hours total more than forty thou
sand, according to semiofficial state
ment from the Russian war office. The
garrison originally numbered 100000
men. The Russian armies engaged in
the siege are now expected to ad-
vance simultaneously to besiege the
fortress of Cracow and to aid in the
invasion of Hungary.
The news of the fall of the fortress
evoked the widest scenes in Petro-
grad since the beginning of the war.
Crowds massed in the street and be-
fore the government buildings, cheer
ing wildly.
Almost daily the Austrian garrison
has sailed forth to attack the Rus
sian outposts, which were steadily
drawing a tighter ring about the in
ner forts. The Russian howitZers
finally wrecked all the outer forts and
the Russian war office several days
ago made the significant announce
ment that Russian troops were with
in rifle shot" of the main defense.
For months the only means of COM
munication between Przemysl and the
outside world was by wireless teleg-
raphy and aeroplanes.
There have been indications recent
ly that hunger was an effective ally
of the Russians, for it was reported
that aeroplanes were making daily
flights to Przemysl with cargoes of
provisions.

ALL OF SUDAN is
SEIZED BY DERvlSHES
General HawIey and 1000 Men Killed
When Command Is Attacked
by MosIems.

Berlin, Germany, (by wireless to
| Sayville, l.. ~, March 20.-A German
merchant who has returned from
Egypt is authority for the declaration
| that the whole of the Sudan, including
Khartum and also parts of Nubia, is
in possession of the dervishes.
The statements of this traveller are
published in the Vosslsche Zeitung.
He describes also an engagement near
Fashoda last December, in which
General Hawley of the British army
and a number of other officers, with
nearly 1000 men, lost their lives.
The merchant relates a story of
the alleged uprising of the Senussi
tribesmen in November. He declares
that they destroyed an Australian
camp near the pyramids November
10, killing 200 Australians and cap
turing guns and provisions.
Later, in large force, not fewer than
$4,000, they overlooked the entire
province of Fayum and destroyed all
railroads, including the Cairo-Assuan
line. December 1 they destroyed the
Alexandria Cairo railroad near Danlan-
hur.
Thousands of tribesmen responded
to the appeal of the dervishes and
December IA 10000 of them marched
in the direction of Fashoda, on the
White Nile, where General Hawley
opposed them with 5000 troops. OF
the men under Hawley all the native
soldiers deserted to the dervishes,
leaving them only 1000 men.
Most of this contingent was killed
and General Hawley and all his off,
GERS fell. Nebur-El-Asi, commanding
the dervishes, had all his prisoners
decapitated.
AS a result of this victory all the
native chiefs joined the dervishes,
who, January 1, took possession of
the important military post at Nasser,
in the district of SEMINAR.
The merchant also declares that the
dervishes destroyed all the telegraph
lines in lower Egypt. No word of the
conquest of the Sudan has been al
lowed to leak out.

Police of Monmouth, ILL.,, Believe Score
of Crimes Will Be Solved.
Monmouth, ILL.,, March 23-The po-
lice of this city hope that the mys-
terry surrounding more than a score of
"axman" murders, in which entire
families have been slain in the last
four years, will be solved by the arrest
of negro giving his name as Loving
Mitchell, who was captured on Sunday
in a squalid shanty at 1925 Chestnut
street, St. Louis, Mo. The negro,
giant in size, was arrested on the spe-
cific charge of having slain William e.
Dawson, his wife and three-year-old
daughter. Georgia, as they slept in
their home in Monmouth, September
80, 1911. The similarity of the other
crimes has led authorities to believe
all we're committed by the same man.

mans" mania includes 20 persons, and

zEPPEL|NS DROP
BOMBS ON PARIS
Eight Persons Are Injured by
Explosives.
MATERIAL DAMAGE SMALL
AL DAMAGE SMALL
Berlin Declares Airship Raid Was in
Revenge for Bombardment Of
Alsatian City-Invaders At
tackled by Aviators.

Paris, March 23.-The first Zeppe-
lin raid on Paris was carried out early
Sunday. Four bombs were dropped in
the city and 13 in the suburbs. Seven
or eight persons were injured, one Sc
riously, but none fatally. The mate.
rial damage was slight.
The raiders were driven off by
French aeroplane patrols and the fire
of antiairship guns. One of the raid
ers appeared to have been hit.
In their retreat the raiders dropped
bombs on Compiegne, Ribecourt and
Dreslincourt. Some were explosive
and some of incendiary character. No
damage was suffered at these places.
Probably the most remarkable feature
of the raid was the department OF
the population.
Warned of the coming of the Yep
pelins, men and women clad in night
attire f1ocked in gay and jocular pro-
cessions from their sleeping apart
ments to the streets, or in the case
of the more discreet, to the cellars of
their homes. The discipline of the
city's residents was marvellous. There
was a complete absence of panic.
When the Zeppelins approached
whistles were blown and the sleeping
residents aroused, all lights were ex-
tinguished and when the raiders ar
rived over the city the capital was
completely obscured.
xuoc hooutif,,1 cto rIiOhf niOhf
There was light westerly breeze
blowing. The approach of the raiders
was signaled from at least twenty
places.
Half dozen aeroplanes were wheel
ing upward to beat them off and high
angle guns were blazing from several
different points.
It was the rapid appearance of an
aeroplane squadron, each machine
flashing small, but powerful,
searchlight-that prevented the raid
'ers from attacking the center of the
city, with it's historic monuments.
Everywhere the department of the
people was remarkable. The "qui
vive' lasted, for three hours, the bu-
giles rallying the people to bed again
shortly after four o'clock. The dan
ger was over.
Berlin, March 22.-The war office
gave out on Sunday the following Off
cial statement on the bombardment of
Paris by Zeppelins:
ITO render more impressive our re-
ply to the misdeeds of two French avi-
ators in attacking the open Alsatian
town of Schlettstadt, German airships
dropped several heavy bombs on the
fortress of Paris and on the railroad
junction at Compiegne."

MRS. LEMAY MAKnS DENIAL

The Herald IS IN receipt OF letter
from Mrs. Cora LeMay, in which she
wished denial made Of the statements
made in telegram sent by her hus-
band, VIM. LeMay, to a friend in this
city, and which contents were publish
ed in last week s issue of the Herald,
stating that she had left her husband
and gone away with a strange man,
taking with her all her husband s
money. In the letter Mrs. Lemay
states that she was on her way to Be-
midi to advise with the county attor-
ney on matters which she says are of
direct interest to her family, being ac-
companied by her attorney from War
road as far as International Falls,
also a statement from an attorney OF
Warroad, dated Feb. 10, which one
would infer corroborated this state
ment in part. She said she would re-
turn to the Angle, where the home is
located Wednesday, meaning the
Wednesday just past, where she has
matters of Importance to look after.
1t is to be hoped by the friends of
the family that the matter is only a
misunderstanding.
