LONDON, March 2s.-The British
battleships Irresistible and Ocean
and the French battleship Bouvet
were blown up by floating mines
while engaged with the remainder OF
the allied fleets in attacking the forts
in the narrows Of the Dardanelles on
Thursday.
The crews of the two British ships
were virtually all saved, having been
transferred to other shrips under a
hot fire. but an internal explosion
took place on the Bouvet after she
had fouled the mine and most Of her
crew Vas lost. The Bouvet sank three
minutes after she hit the mine.
The water in which the ships were
lost had been swept for mines, but
the British admiralty asserts that the
Turks and the Germans set floating
containers or explosives adrift, and
these were carried down by the cur
rent onto the allied ships gathered
inside the entrance of the straits.
All of the ships sunk were old
ones. The Bouvet was built nearly
twenty years ago and the Ocean and
Irresistible in 1898. They were use
full, however, for the work in which
they we're engaged in the Darda-
nelles. The sunked British ships are
being replaced by the battleships
Queen and Implacable, vessels of a
similar type They are said to have
started some time ago in anticipation
OF just such losses as have now occur

IL Winter storms and floods, while
they have put an end to the military
operations on large scale, have not
been able to prevent the armies in
the east and west from pursuing the
offensive at isolated points along the
two extended fronts.
In the snow-covered hills of the
Caucasus the hardy Sberians are
searching out the routed Turks who
are reported to be surrendering by
thousands, while in rIanders, which
is virtually all under water, the al
lies assert that they have found IL
possible to make some headway. Only

Hindenburg's offensive Is held up on
the backs Of the rivers which flow
between him and Warsaw and in Gal

vance, does there seem to be an al
most entire lull in the fighting.
Russian Gains.
The Russians continue their for
ward movements in the Carpathians
and In Bukowina, while in France in
fantry attacks have been made at
many points, followed by artillery en-
gagements, sapping and mining oper-
ations The French have advanced a
few yards in the vicinity of Rheims,
but were compelled to give ground in

with the reports of progress by
the French in Alsace, where they are
being strenuously opposed by the
Germans. the names of German
places are beginning to appear in the
official communications, which would
indicate that the advance, although
slow, is being continued.
Vlscount Haldane, the British lord
high chancellor in the house of lords,
today made the interesting announce
ment that British experts were busy
producing a satisfactory equivalent TO
the German 42-centimeter guns,
which did such execution against the
Belgian fortresses at the beginning of
the war, and that recruiting was SO
satisfactory that the necessity hao
not arisen for conscription.
Near Three Millions.
The chancellor would not disclose
the strength of the British army, but
military experts estimate that II can
not be less than three million men,

The reported arrest of Cardinal
Mercier, prImate of Belgium, con-
hnues to attract widespread atteh-
ton. The Germans explain that he
was not arrested but that he was re-
auested to refrain from melting the
populace of Belgium. The Dutch
newspaper which first published the
report of the cardinals arrest, insists
however. on the correctness OF its

that even now Cardinal Mercier Is

Oppose the New Ship

TNDIANAPOLIS, Jan. S.-President
Il Wilson today voiced what a crowd
Of more than four thousand people,
assembled here to hear him make a
Jackson day speech, interpreted az a
hint that he might be a candidate for
the presidency In 1916. Cheers fol-
lowed until the president raised his
hand for quiet.
The president had been discussing
the Mexican question, and referred to
his belief that he knew the tempera'
ment and principles Of the American
people, adding he would not be fit to
stay where he was If he did not un-
derstand them
There may come a time" he said,
when the American people will have
to Judge whether l know what | am
talking about or not"
There was a slight pause and then
the audience which included the
members Of the Indiana legislature,
started a round Of cheers Realizing
the construction which had been put
on his words, the president called for
silence and said:
"I did not mean to stir up anything,
that was merely preparatory to sayins
that for at least two more years | am
free to think l know the American
people"
Criticizes Republicans.
Previously the president had at
tackled the Republican part defend
ing the record Of his administrator
on the Mexican policy, and the tariff
and currency questions, and declared
that careful examination of the re-
turns from the elections last NoVem'
Der showed that If 1t had been a
presidential year Democrat would
have had a majority OF about eighty
in the electoral college.
The president criticized Republican,
senators opposing the government ship
purchase bill, whom he characterized
as "self-styled friends of business "
He said the Republican party had not
had a new Idea in thirty years ana
that "the Republicans do not know
how to do anything but sit on the lid"
He added that the country wants the
ship purchase bill enacted into law
and will have it,"
Must Play on Team.
A warning to Democrats not to
break up the solidity OF the party was
spoken OF gravely by Mr.. Wilson. He
