DACIA IS CAPTURED
AMERICAN STEAMER, ARRESTED
BY FRENCH CRUISER, is
TAKEN TO BREST.
NEW ISSUES ARE INVOLVED
Shifting of Responsibility by Britain
Adds to OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ton interested in Vessel Held by Al
IIes-craft Owned by E. N. Breituna.

Paris, March "A French cruiser
has arrested the American steamer
Dacia in the channel and taken her to
Brest. This announcement is official
ly made.
Washington, March 2.-Of1cials here
were tremendously interested to learn
that the Ammerican cotton steamer Da-
cia, formerly Of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can line, flying the German flag, had
been seized by a French cruiser and
taken to Brest The capture of the
pacia causes no surprise in Washing
ton, and even the fact that French
instead Of an English warship would
take her into custody had been fore
seen. But this transfer of the ques-
ton Of the ships status combined with
the already intricate points in the Da-
cia transfer from German to American
registry bids fair to make an interna-
tional case of unusual interest.
Edward N. Breitung, an American,
bought the Dacia from the Hamburg
American company, secured American
registry, replaced the German crew
and undertook to lay down cargo of
cotton in the German port of Bremen.
The German destination of the Dacia
on her first voyage under American
registry aroused British fears lest
American registry be used simply as a
shield to permit the ship to reach a
German port, where she would resume
her discarded national itu To meet
this objection Mr.. Brett ng changed
his routing to the Dutch port of Rot
terdam.

Berlin wireless via Sayville)
March 1.-The following official report
was received from first headquarters

lincourt and north of Verdun the Ger
mans stormed several of the enemy's
positions, driving him out The Ger
mans made six officers and $50 men
prisoners.
"On the northern slopes of the Vos-
ges the Germans, after considerable
violent fighting, succeeded in dislodg-
ing the French from their positions.
The Germans attacked the intrenched
line from Verdinal to Bremeuil, to the
east of Baronviller, thus pushing the
enemy back"
Paris, March 2.-The afternoon
statement issued on Saturday said:
I'm the Champagne district impor-
tant progress was made. We carried
two German works, one north of
Perthes. the other north of Beause-
jour We made 200 prisoners.

diers who have surrendered the last
ten days amounts to mere than one

TURK FORTS RUINED
DARDANELLEs FoRTRESSEs FAIL.
BEFORE HUGE GUNS.
Transports With Large Army Sent
to Take Sultan's Capital From
the Land Side.

London, Feb. 27.-The forts at the
reduced after an all-day bombardment
BY The Franco British fleet. according
TO an announcement made on Thurs
day by the admiralty.
The announcement states:
THE weather moderating, the bonn
bardment of the outer forts of the Oar
danelles was renewed on Thursday
morning. After period OF long range
firing, close range firing was adopted
All the forts at the entrance to the
straits we're successfully reduced
The operations are continu-
ing"
This means that the bombardnlent
and possible capture of Constantinople
by the allied fleet, which has been
reported to include 40 warships, is
imminent, and that the feet is at pres
ent smashing its way through the
straits.
The Dardanelles forts, for years con-
sidered among the strongest military
barriers in the world, have been sub
1ected to almost incessant battsring
by the shells of the battleships' guns
since last Friday. when the supreme
effort to force the straits was COM
menced. Before that there had been
several attacks on the Notifications.
The bombardment was continued all
day Saturday and Sunday, and more
than two thousand shells were dropped
on the forts in that time. Bad wealth
er for the time compelled the cessation
of the efforts of the fleet to reduce
the forts, but the bombardment was
resumed Monday afternoon, again to
be ended by bad weather until Thurs
day.
Constantinople reported that the
bombardment had been almost without
effect, but the official announcement
OF the British admiralty said that the
forts were unable to reply because
the ships were out of range, and that
five of them were reduced by Saturday
night.
The attack on Constantinople will
be simultaneous, it is believed here,
with an effort on the part of the Rus
sian army to take the Turkish capital
from the land SIDE 1t was announced
last week that Russian transports had
been sent with large army to the
Turkish port of Midi, so miles north
west of .Constantinople, for an over
land march against the gates of the
capital.
