stated that a large number Of German

Mines Save Dardanelles.
British naval officers who participated
in the operations last week in the Dar-

pany, have expressed the belief that but

fiercely bombarded the Turkish forts
on either side of the narrow waterway.
1t is the opinion of certain British Of
ficers. the correspondent goes on, that
the forts themselves would not be able
to bar the passage Of the straits. Sur-
thermore, the mine fields have been
considerably weakened, as many mines
were blown up during the last attack,
while others had been cast adrift by a
storm.
The French battleship Gaulois and the
British battle cruiser lnfiexible. dam
aged in the recent actions have been
towed to well sheltered bays. where
they are effecting repairs. There is
good reason to believe, in the opinion
of these officers, that some of the forts

COOPERATION IS URGED
IN TRADE WITH RUSSIA
Henry D. Baker, Commercial At

to Overcome Difficulties.

A suggestion that difficulties of
American trade extension in Russia
might be overcome by a cooperative
plan for the exchange OF American
leather manufactures for Russian hides
has been made to the New England
Shoe and Leather Association by Henry
D. Baker, commercial attache at Petro-
grad, who will leave the United States
to return to his post in fortnight.
Deprecated Russian exchange, which
has fallen from 10 to 15 per cent. Mr..
Baker said, now prevented any great
expansion. Pointing out that while ex-
ports of boots and shoes to Russia last
year from Massachusetts amounted
only to s97.s7G. Russian hides import
ed into the state were worth $5,05O. .165,
he proposed an arrangement for direct
exchange of the manufactured for the
crude product until conditions are re-
stored to normal. avoiding entirely the
exchange market. The same plan, he
thought. might be applied to other

has found many banks to be already

May Pick District Man.

Should white man be named it is
expected the President will pick Dis
trict citizen. John F. Costello, demo-
cratic national committeeman of the
District, has been doomed lately by in
f1uential democrats. who have written
the President urging Costellos appoint
ment.
Costello has received little considera-
tion at the White House, although he
is known to be personally popular
there. OF all the District candidates
in the field he is said to have the
strongest political backing.
Frank b. Lord. president Of the Ma
tionaI Press Club, has been mentioned
for the recordership. but he is not a
candidate and is not seeking the place
in any way. He has also been con-
spicuousiy mentioned as the possible
secretary of the federal trade commis-
sion- There are many candidates for
the latter position. each member of the
commission having a favorite Of his
own for the place. 1t is likely to be
some time before a choice is made
owing to the complexities of the fight
before the commission.
