NEW FRENCH SHIP
TO DARDANELLES
Battleship Jaureguiberry Ord
cred to Join Squadron
at Strait.

Paris, March 22-The French battle
ship Jaureguiberry, which carries
among her armament two l2-inch and
two l0.S-inch guns, was ordered to-day
to join the French squadron operating
against the Dardanelles. The Jaure-
guiberry will replace the French bat
tleship Gaulois, which was badly dam
aged along the waterline by shells
from the Turkish forts.
London. March %. There is no late
news from the Dardanelles, and the
belief in England seems TO be that the
operations will perhaps be more pro-
tracted than at first expected.

ITALY ENDS FREIGHT
CARS TO GERMANY
National Defence Law, Promul.
gated by King, Goes Into
Effect at Once.
ny Gable to The Tribune. ]

Rome, March 22.-The Italian govern
ment to-day gave an order stopping all
railway freight traffic with Germany
by way of Switzerland.
The King yesterday signed a decree
promulgatng the national defence law,
which became operative to-day ami will
be applied Immediately. Special in
structions have been issued relating TO
espionage, which is 10 be repressed
energetically. Many suspicious for
eigners, especially Germans and Aus
trians, purposely exempted from mill
tary service, have been sent here to
watch war preparations. These will be
expelled soon; in fact, expulsion de-
crees have already been drawn up.
The government IS empowered by the
new law to prohibit the publication of
news regarding the strength of the
army, war preparations and the mill
tary defences of the country. This
prohibition will be shortly enforced,
and the concentration of troops, the
calling out of additional reserves and
the eventual mobilization will be kept
secret.
Parliament adjourned this evening
until the middle of May and the gov
ernment will be free to attend to the
HHdl preparation as pTeluue 10 inter-

bers of Parliament and representa-
titves of ali political parties and DEM
ocratic organizations are expected to
attend a meeting next Sunday in the
Adriano Theatre here with the object
of advocating the freedom of Trent and
Trieste and urging intervention and
the return of the provinces to Italy.
London, March 22.-The Italian situa-
tion IS receiving renewed attention from
the press of the Allies, though rumors,
rather than facts, seem to be the basis
of most of the dispatches. The Italian
Embassy at London had no confirma-
tion tonight of the report that freight
traffic between Italy and Germany by
way of Switzerland had been stopped,
nor was there any confirmation of the
reported massing Of Austrian and Ger
man troops along the Austrian littoral

Ruskin to Show
Real Nature Animal
Pictures at Boyd's

Hunting wild game with a moving pic
ture camera II the vocation OF John w.
RuslSin, Omaha man, who is to open the
Boyd theater Sunday night. August %.
with his cloBe-to-nature motion pictures.
Ten years seems long time TO work TO
get pictures, but when ono takes into
consideration that RuskIn and his aSso-
ciates were frequently compelled TO walt
for weeks at time to get even one pic
turo of an animal. as Il lives in It's
natural haunts, II does not take ten years
long to pass.
Probably the most novel ''artiflce" ever
constructed for stalking nature is the
COW that was designed for approaching
wild animals in safety. This was made
OF papier-mache and stands fifteen feet
In height. The carcass Is built of sub
Btantiai framework. so as to Withstand
hard usage, the skin being represented
by the papier-mache covering, colored
and tinted according 20 nature. Within
the COW a platform was erected and from
the inside the operator secured his pic
lures by placing his tense In a hole espe-
ciaily constructed In the side Of the neck.
Here the operator lived. waited and
watched.
Ruskln's wild life pictures were recently
shown in indianapolis under the auspices
of the indianapolis News. and from the
crowds that attended the shubert- Murat
theater, II would indicate that these pic
lures are OF unusual interest.

$4,000 NAMES FILED
IN CHURCH CENSUS
Most of Homes in Omaha Reached
by Canvassers, According to
Rev. Keve's Estimate.
INFORMATION FOR MINISTER'S

Practically all the homes in
Greater Omaha have been reached by
the canvassers in the religious CEN
sus, according to Rev. oliver Keve,
chairman OF the committee in charge.
Between $4,000 and 10000 OF the
little slips have been filled out and
are either at headquarters in the
Young Mems Christian association
building or in the hands OF the dis
trict superintendents.
THE canvass has been a success In
every way" said Rev. Mr.. Keve.
soon all these slips. will be here and
arranged in order so that they can
be consulted.
Two big things have been accom-
plished. First, a printed invitation has
been left ty n personal representative I'm
nearly all the homes In Omaha, an In
vitation TO attend the Billy Sunday meet
ings. Second, we have definite informa-
ton on file that will be OF the greatest
value for religious work all over the
city.
Ministers 10 Use Statistics.
"A pastor in any neighborhood can now
come here and In a short time learn the
religious status OF all the families in his
range of influence. He can see at a
glance just where those live who. per-
haps. do not go TO church, but who have
religious preferences toward his de-
nomination. lie can zee where those live
who don't 30 to church and say they have
no rc.isious preferences. and he can per-
hnps win them to the work OF the
church"
No tabulatlon OF the census results will
be made to give statistics of the numbers
OF each denomination and of the non
church-going population. This would in
volve enormous work and expense and
would not add anything to the value Of
the facts.
