creased orders in certain industries,
without, however, supplying details
showing how many of these orders
were directly due to the war in Eu-
rope. The bank examiners issued an
other statement tending to prove that
the whole country is prosperous. Cab
met officers are alternating in daily
interviews to prove that depression
has disappeared and that prosperity
prevails.
This campaign is humorous because
there is nothing so obvious as real
prosperity, nothing that requires less
proof. The fact that the country has
to be officially advised of its advent
and impressed with its actuality shows
the slim foundation for the assurances
which are being given to the country
and also the desperate desire of the
administration to invoke this abso-
lutely necessary conservator of the
democratic rule. 1t is well under
stood rule among business men that
economic laws are inexorable and can
not be changed by artificial methods.
Prosperity cannot be created by proc
lamation nor can its presence be de
MED when it actually exists. The adj
ministration cannot hope to convince
business man that he is prosperous
when his trial balance shows loss.
Prosperity for political purposes can
not be created, it must develop nat
urally. The democrats are concerned
with its slow development and afraid
that it may arrive too late. Hence
the vigorous putting of the slender
flame of improving conditions.
There is intense anxiety in the Of
flee of the secretary of the navy these
days. 1t is gravely feared that the
raising of the submarine, the F-4
which sank in the harbor Of Honolulu
with all on board, will reveal condi-
tions which will put the blame foI
that disaster squarely up to Secre-
tary Daniels Commander Stirling
frankly told the naval committee OF
the. house of the unsafe condition oi
number of the submarines under hi:
command, and he was, on December
last, severely rebuked for his truthful
testimony by Mr.. Daniels. Represen'
tative Gardner of Massachusetts, has
publicly charged Secretary Daniels
with responsibility for the disaster and
there are many others who will not be
slow to indict the secretary if then
suspicious that his policy was respon.
sible are verified. Another officer who
told the truth with entire frankness
when he appeared before the nava
committee was Rear Admiral Bradley
A. Fiske, and he has just been made
to walk the plank, metaphorically
speaking, by the indignant secretary
Admiral Fiske has been one of the
chief aids of the secretary and has
been regarded by all competent tC
Judge, as an exceedingly able admin
istrator of that office, but he incurred
the displeasure of Mr.. Daniels becaus,
when examined and cross-examineC
by members of the naval committee
he told them precisely what the con
dition of the navy was and how un.
prepared for war. So he has now suf.
fered the penalty.

BAD WEATHER INTERPRETERS
French Admiralty Holds Out
Hope That Some of Bou-
vet'sSGreWis Saved.
az .ssoel.rs.lp= rrcss,

LONDON, March 90 With the
Russian Black sea fleet reported
knocking atSthe doors of the Bos-
phorus and six allied battleships re-
newing the bombardment OF the
Turkish positions on the Dardanelles,
the fate OF the straits is today hang
ing in the balance. according to opin-
ion freely expressed in London
Nevertheless. reports from Turkish
sources still profess supreme conf
dence In the impregnability of the
defending forts. which. it is claimed,
have. successfully sustained a bonn
bardment extending over twenty-one
days.
The reports OF the British admir-
atty giving news of the sinking OF
three hattleships, two British and one
French, is rather hay as to the re-
suits achieved by this sacrifice and it
gives weight to the growing belief
that the straits will not be won until
the naval operations are supported by
effective land forces. The lombard
ment of Friday was interrupted by
bad weather but it is anticipated that
the operations will be pushed as rap
idly as possible.
The French admiralty, while ex-
pressing the hope that some members
ofthe crow OF the battleship, Bouvet.
have been saved. confirms reports
from neutral sources that the French
battIeship, Gaulois. also suffered Sc
yerely In the battle of March Is.
Although Turkish official sources
minimize the teffect of the bombard-
1nent and declare that Constantine
pie is not afraid. intelligence re-
ceived from other near eastern. points
sets forth that negotiations already
have begun with the American en-
Z bassy to act as an intermediary to
save the Ottoman capital from the
guns or the allied warships.
Rumors of the destruction OF the
German sea raider. Karlsruhe. have
received some confirmation by the
guarded statement of the British adj
miralty that there is ever reason to
believe that this cruiser was sunk in
the West Indies in November.
Relative inaction prevails along
both battlefronts in Europe which
again seem to have relapsed into the
condition OF siege warfare which pre-
vailed during the winter. Austrian
reports by way OF Berlin claim that
the Russian offensive movement in
y the Carpathians through the Lupkow
pass has resulted in failure but di-
rect reports from both Vienna and
Petrograd agree that Austrians as
we'll as. Russians are making attacks
and counter attacks in the Carpath-
fans without any decisive results.
The Germans still are bombarding
\ Ossowetz without success. according
to the Russians. who claim to have
destroyed the advance trenches OF
their antagonists. Neither side re-
ports any important actions OH the
western front during the last week:
