TROOPS ORDERED TO THE BAR. RACKS AND GUN CREWS OR

Newport News, Va, March 26- Fortress Monroe and Fort Wool. in the center of Hampton Roads, tonight assumed unusual activity. All the troops station at the forts were or dered to the barracks and the big gun crews and mine companies sent to their stations At 9:30 o'clock the en- zines around the guns were started and searchlights at both fort swere in operation
 Subsequently it was discovered that one United States subfarne and three desuoyers had arrived in the roads and dropped anchor between the two forts.
 Colonel Ira r. Haynes, command ant of Fortress Monroe, went to the Portsmouth navy yard, it was said, and the acting adjutant in charge would make no statement concerning the unusual stir at the forts.
 The searchlights were constntly played over Hampton Roads and Chesapeake Bay out towards the capes.
 At 1O:30 o'clock tonight the Prinz tEitel Friedrich still was tied up alongside a pier at the ship yard and had made no move to leave. The lieu tenant in charge said the cruiser would not leave tinight but some other night" Smoke was seen rising from the funnel and 1t was eviden! that fire was up in at least one boiler.
 Shortly after midnight the garrison at Fortress Monroe extended its watch over land A special bicycle patrol left the fort and proceeded up and down the beach and on to the piers at Old Point Comfort
 The fort still was actively on the alert The three destroyers and one submarine observed off the for earlier in the night steamed several miles up Chesapeake bay. towards Thmble Light and sent mp dozer rockets. The fort answered witl signal lights.

London. March 26.-10.35 D. m.-- The comparative inactivity along the whole of the western front leads Co the belief in military circles in Lon. don that both armies are awaiting the turn of events in the Carpathlaus be. fore attempting Co strike a aard hlow. The British are still resting on their victory at Neuve Chapeue-a victory which cost them almost as dearly in men as it did the Germans; and the Germans, although they are reported to be massing troops for a fresh offensive. have undertaken nothing in the west comparable with their. rush Of last fall.
 IncredgIity is expressed by some of the military observers that the fall of Przemysl will exert an immediate in- fluence on the warfare in the Carpa- thians, but the optimistic British press. using the meager dispatches relative to a Russian victory in the U'1gok pass as a basis. says the Aus trian right has been turned and that the evacuation of Czernowitz is immi- nent.
 Germany is declared to be sending vast endorsements into the Carpa- thians and the newspapers deem 1t not illogical to conclude that this lighting at tine gateway to Hungary is having and will continue to have a marked influence on the German cam paign in the east an dthe west.

To the Germans. indeed, must be
attributed the discovery of the mill
tary value OF hole In the ground.
Through many years, while keeping
the matter strictly to themselves,
they developed the idea to point
where it became the most vital OF
all facts in warfare. 1t has revolu-
tionized warfare. If Uncle Sam be
compelled to fight any power, a
knowledge of the new art of murder

necessity.
The Germans. always confident
of victory. never fail to provide
against the possibility of defeat.
Thus, after the battle of the Marine,
so disastrous to their arms, they
were able to fall back upon trench
fortlf1cations, already admirably
prepared along the heights of the
Meuse. Attack falling, they were
equally ready for defence.
That such a method of defence
existed was an enormous surprise
to their adversaries. The history OF
warfare in all the ages gave no sug-
gestion of it. Indeed, from the be-
ginning, this great conflict has been
a revelation OF possibilities hitherto

One asks. naturally, how such

assailed, inasmuch as they seem to
be proof against assault. The an
swer is that there Is no use in try
