OUTRAGED BY ORDER

NEW YORK, Feb, 2O.-The re-
ported recent order of the British ad-
mlralty Of January 81 advising British
merchant vessels TO fly neutral flag
to avoid destruction hy German sub
marines is severely criticized hy the
swedish press, says dispatch from
Berlin to the Staatszeituug Quoting
Swedish papers, the dispatch says.
The pro-British Dagcns Nyheter of
stockholm says, unfortunately we
are called upon to be witnesses Of the
cowardice Of the proud English ma
ton"
The Dagebladd says, This recent
flag order OF the British admiralty Is
In quite a different tone from the oft
repeated boast that Britain is lord Of
the seas"
The Tidingen explains that this new
flag order would bring about absolute
lawlossness so far as the use Of ncu-
tral flag is concerned.
The Norwegian and Danish papers

Taking the number of women, female

ENGINEMEN GET
PART OF DEMANDS
Award of Arbitration Board Increases
Wages to Some Extent and Makes
Other Concessions.

CHICAGO, May An arbitration
award advancing to some eytent the rates
OF pay of 64,000 locomotive engineers, fire
men and hostlers, employed on the 14O,-
600 miles of line of 9S western railroads
in the great area of the United States
and Canada bounded on the east by the
Illinois Central and the Great Lakes, was
signed here yesterday.
A dissenting opinion was filed on behalf
of the Brotherhood Of Enginemen, in
which the arbitration was branded as
failure and the Newlands law, under which
1T was arranged, an inadequate device for
the settlement of industrial disputes. The
award, effective May 10 and binding for
one year only, was frankly declared as
merely postponing for twelve-month the
actual settlement of the differences in
volved. The railroad members of the
board issued formal statement, CRITICS
ing failures of the regulations governing
the arbitration and remarking that certain
concessions, regarded as intrinsically un-
just, were made for the sake of preserving
peace with the employees.

The German ambassador was away
today, but officials at the embassy said
that 50 far as they knew the notice
was intended merely to remind neutral
travellers of their danger and did not
indicate new naval operations.
How the state department viii re-

some doubt When the first notice of

TURKS CUT OFF
FROM MAIN LINE
No Longer Possible for Them to Pass Between
European and ASiatiC Sides of the DardaneIIes
Strats-FierCe Fighting Continues Along the
Russian Front

The Gallipoli peninsula, which forms the
European side of the Dardanelles, is de-
scribed in unofficial dispatches as being
gradually cut of from the main line by
the British and French forces
1t is said to be no longer possible for
the Turks to pass in force between the
European and Asiatic sides of the straits
The main forces are reported to be near
Nados, which lies two-thirds Of the way
down the peninsula
Official advices have not made clear the
extent of the operations of the British
and French forces A British statement
last night gave the impression that the
fighting had been restricted to the lower
end of the peninsula
From several sources it has been report
Cd that the British had also crossed the
upper end of the peninsula, but there is
no confirmation of this, however, except
in an official statement which reported Sc
we're fighting near Gallipoh
The Constantinople reports say that the
Turks have made substantial headway in
their attacks on the land and naval forces
Fighting continues all along the Russian
front. Little is known, beyond the Ger
man announcement yesterday that they
bad penetrated more than 100 miles from
the frontier.

Bcmbardment of Dunkirk Was Not

official statement to have been mistake.

fell on DunkirE were from a land gun. No
comment is made ON the fact that it is IS

In the bombardment Of Dlnkirk 10
shells of large caIiber were said to have
killed 20 persons and wounded 45, some
houses being destroyed
A British official statement given out
last evening at London, said it was not
true that German warships had lombard

statement, which was issued by the Brit

nor that German warships bombarded
Dunkirk is untrue. This rumor probably
originated in a misreading Of the French
official communication issued yesterday"
Another British official statement given
out at London last evening said: ''The
sheling Of Dunkirk is now reported bv
aerial reconnaissance to have been from a
land gun and the reports that German
warships We're off that port were due to a

1t was in the first string that White
put in his big single mark of 124 and
that was sufficient to give his team a
comfortable lead, although the second
team rolled its biggest string first.
Buzby, with a single of 100 in the sec.

mcGts On the northern extremity of
the two fronts, both cast and west, the

Baltic provinces take precedence in
the war news OF todaS.
British ayiators have discovered and
attacked the German batteries which
1T q distance Of from Is to 90 miles
hurled great shells at the French
forts at Dunkirk, bat it remains to be
seen whether they did much damage.
The London newspapers say. the
bombardment of Dunkirk means that
the Germans still cling to their cher
ished idea of reaching the French
,oast nearest England and more than
one editorial writer points out that
Flanders still remains the critical sit
uotion
Ono idea is that East Prussian ad-
vances may be aimed at Libau and
