MORE TURKISH FORTS ON THE
AsIATic SIDE OF pARoA-
NELLEs siLENcEp-WAR-
SHIPS ARE DAMAGED.
STRUGGLE FOR GATEWAY
OF OTTOMAN EMPIRE
From Number of Ships Engaged and
Size and Range OF Guns the
Battle of the Dardanelies Is
Unlike Anything In His
tory, Say Experts.

London. March 10.-The British ara
French fleets have battered their way
a step nearer to Constantinople, not,
however, without damage to the ships
engaged, and the battle royal for the
DardanelIes continues.
More Turkish forts on the Asiatic
side have been silenced, according to
a statement by the British admiralty
but the Turks are making terrific re-
distance and the shells from their Ger
man-made guns have found more than
one mark on the besieging craft.
Struggle for constantInople.
This struggle for the gateway of the
Ottoman capital Is at present the big
feature OF the war news and closely
linked with this is the sustained ex-
element In Greece incident to the res
ignation Of the cabinet of M. Veniz-
clos, who. deeming Greece's entry into
hostilities on the side of the triple
entente imperative, could not agree
with his king and resigned. The retir-
ing premier, according to Athens dis
patches, plans to leave for a rest.
From the number of ships engaged
and the size and range of the guns, the
battle Of the Dardanelles is unlike
anything In history. according to naval
experts. At $4,000 yards the huge
battleship Queen Elizabeth OF the Brit.
ish squadron, assisted by some smaller
ships, is hurting shells across the
Gallipon peninsula into the Turkish
strongholds on the Asiatic shore.
Allied Ships Are Hit.
The admiralty statement covers the
operations and admits that the Turks
not only scored three minor hits on
the Queen Elizabeth, but that the
majority Of the ships inside the straits,
both French and British, were struck.
None were sunk and there were no
casualties.
The Turkish forts Rumili Mediidied
Tabia and Handled l, Tabia, firing
ing the Asiatic shore line, which pre-
viously had withstood the lombard
ment, were silenced. as was the Mount
Dardanus battery, further south. The
Turkish casualties are unknown.
Turks Claim Advantage.
A Turkish official statement from
Constantinople, issued prior to the ad-
miralty statement, insisted that the
fighting In the Dardanelles was devel-
oping in favor of the Turks. 1t was
stated that no batteries were being
destroyed and that the hostile ships
were forced to retreat
Aeroplanes, taking wing, from the
decks of the besieging craft, are play
ing a notable part in the operations.
One British machine became unman-
ageable and dove into the sea and an
other was hit by the Turks twenty.
eight times.
One of the most picturesque bits Of
the days news is report from Bu-
charest. Roumania, stating that former
Sultan Abdul Hamid of Turkey has
regained his freedom and is gathering
his friends and supporters around
him. 1t Is asserted that he may seek
to play an important part in his coun-
try's affairs

ANNULS NORTH DAKOTA LAW
U. s. Supreme Court Declares a State
Cannot Require Railroad to
Haul at Loss.

Washington, March 9.-The su.
preme court has laid down the prin.
ciple that 1t is beyond the power OF
the states to require a railroad to
carry one commodity or class of traf.
nc at a loss or only nominal profit.
even though an adequate profit is OBJ
tanned from its business as a whole
within the state.
Under this principle the court an
nulled the North Dakota Ignite coal
rate law as to the Northern Pacific
and the Minneapolis. st. Paul & sault
Ste. Marie railroads, and the West
Virginia 2-cent passenger rate Law as
to the Norfolk G. Western. Justice
Hughes announced the decisions, Una.
tice Pitney alone dissented,
In arriving at its general conclusion
the court held that when a state se~
lects one commodity or class of traf.
nc for regulations II must apportion
70 1t a proper part OF all general ar.
penses, and then allow substantial
compensation.
