Ihe Paris "Matln publlSneS M lAlolNio"
between Mr.. Churchill and MIR. LarouX, inc
editor of that paper, in which Mr.. Chutehll1
said For the first time in history Eng
land can say that the sea is free. In the
days when you and We fought e"ch
other our most important victories never
brought us security comparable with nat
which we enjoy to-day, and even after Ira
falgar we knew nothing like it. Germany
is like a man throttled with Il heavy gag ana
you know the effect of such q gag when act
ion is necessary the effort wears ont tue
heart and Germany knows it. This pressure
will not be relaxed unit! she gives in uncon-
ditionally, for even if France and Russia
should withdraw from the struggle, which Is
iuconceivable we English will carry on the
war to the bitter end. The action Of the
navy is necessarily slow, but the pressure
IT exercises on the adversary is u~nrelenting.
Compare it to the forces of nature, to the
inexorable grip of winter, and remember it
is a stress that nothing can resist.
The Petrograd correspondent Of the Copen-
hagen "Berlingske Tidende" states that the
Allied fleets, after a surprise attack, complete
~ destroyed four forts in the Dardanelles.
Adyices from Berlin state that the warn
ing by the Admiralty Staff concerning com

blockade by the Germans.
The "Berliner Tageblatt" says that the
Council of Greater Berlin has appointed
twelve Thousand special constables to guald
the bakeries against irregularities by the
public.
The German War Grain Company, an
organization for the purpose Of acquiring nil
the available grain in Germany and storing
it until May, has seized over tArte million
tons of grain, leaving none at the disposal of
the public before next summer
A statisticion in the "Berliuer Tugeblatt"
calculates that, as the result Of the new
bread and -four regulations, less than four
million tons OF rye and wheat will be required
for bread up to the middle of August. Thm-
teen million tons were available at the be-
ginning of The war.
Dispatches from Petrogtad state that Il
Headquarters statement regarding misstate-
ments by the German Conmander-in in Chief
says: "The German o%ffc,9s are deceiving
, their men when they affirm tlat the Russians
have been defeated III Poland and Galicio.
On the contrary, the Au4rrions ave fleeing
from the mountain passes which are held by
us, and our cavalry has penetrated the Hun
garian plains. The British and French are
driving the Germans back III France and
Belgium and will invade Germany soou."
The Petrograd correspondent CT the
'Morning POST says that Enver Pasha, fore
seeing utter ruin for the Turkish armies,
attempted to despatch valuable documents
betimes to Erzerum, but the Russians never
theless captured a considerable quantity
thereof, among which was found incontesta-
BILE proof that the Turkish invasion of the
Caucasus was a settled thing early in Sep
tember last.
Advices from Cairo slate that Turkish des-
erters have arrived there and are BOW under
guard by the British TerritoriaIs, who find
it difficult to believe that any one ever
