There are many known instances
where alfalfa has been used for pas
turing both horses and cattle without
any Injurious results. but as matter
OF fact there II always a little danger
In pastnring cattle on alfalfa They
should become accustomed to the crop
gradually. and they should never be
turned into an alfalfa field when they
are hungry. When cattle are pastured
on alfalfa one must always be prepar-

French Ships Bombard Dar- danelle Notifications from
 the Gulf of Saros.
ALLIES ATTACKING
 TURKS AT SMYRNA
Activities of Allies Warsliips Indicate Determination to Take from Turk His Most Prized Cities in
 Europe and Asia.

Paris. March 6.-The following off cial statement regarding the opera tions against the Turkish coast was issued this evening by the ministry of marine:
 ''Three battIeships stationed in the gulf of Saros today bombarded by in direct fire over the Gallipoli penin- sula, the Turkish forts at Kalid Bahr, on the European bank of the Darda- nelles, which defend the narrow pas- sage between this point and Chaney. The fire was directed by cruisers sta- toned at the entrance of the Darda~ nelles.
 "The results of this bombardment were highly satisfactory. The maga- zine of one of the forts was blown up. None of the attacking ships was hit.
 Furthermore, three ships of the allied fleet yesterday bombarded from distance the fort of Yassi Kale, at the entrance of the gulf of Smyrna. The fort was seriously damaged and did not reply"
 Smyrna is the chief city and sea- port of Asiatic Turkey. It is on the west coast at the head of the gulf of Smyrna about 200 miles southwest of Constantinople, with which it is connected by rail. Part modern and part ancient, Smyrna has one of the finest harbors in the Mediterranean. Most of its import and export trade. which totals close to $50,O00,000 year, is with Grea, Britain.
 The British East Indian squadron could have come into the Mediterran- can through the Suez canal. The bombardment of Smyrna evidently is intended to cut off an important base of supplies from Constantinople.
 The fall of Constantinople would drive the Turks from Europe. The capture of Smyrna would make his position even in Asiatic Turkey un- easy.

.GREEk CABINET QUITS IN BODY;
 GREECE NEUTRAL
Resignation of Ministry In- terpreted as Indicating
 Council Against War.

London, March GA dispatch from Athens received at II o'clock tonight states that the Greek ministry has re- signed.
 This action follows the meeting of the crown council at which the attl- tude of the nation to the war was dis cussed.
 Earlier dispatches from Athens stat cd that the decision of the council was being awaited with extreme anx- iety. It was believed that the council would decide on intervention. in which event mobilization would be ordered.
 According to the Greek newspaper Restia, if the council decided against joining the war, Premier Venizelos and his cabinet would resign. The fact that the cabinet has resigned is, therefore, interpreted here as indicat- ing that for the moment. at least, Greece has decided to remain neutral.

VILLA PLANS RELIEF

Washington, March 6.--With no word from Carranza in reply to the repeated demands of this government that immediate stens be taken to re- lieve conditions in Mexico City, !t was admitted at the state department this afternoon that the real crisis of the situation has arrived.
 The only ray of hope lay in dis patch received this afternoon by Sec retary Bryan from Vera Cruz, which he said gave "a little encouragement" :" He would not say what it was.
 Officials of the state department and representatives of other govern- ments were much concerned by the publication of the report that mem bers of the dinlomatic corps in Mexico City had decided to leave in body. The state department was unable to obtain confirmation of 1t.
 Officials of the state department understood that conditions in Mexico City are worse than at any time since the events which led to the Ending of an American force at Vera Cruz. The situation for foreigners is very serious.
 According to word received at the department, General Obregon has worked the populace of Mexico City up tc such a pitch that any untoward event, which at any other time would be mere trifle, might precipitate bloodshed.
