Russian Fleet to BuspOrOus.

Lodon, March 5.-The Russian Black sea fleet is steaming toward the Bosporous, says dispatch from Rome. The Bucharest correspondent of the Gornaile d'Italia of Rome tele- graphs that the Russian fleet has passed Burgas, Bulgaria.
 Burgas is on the western shore of the Black sea, near the eastern ex- tremity of the Balkans. It is 76 miles northwest of Adrianople. Should the Russian fleet attack the Bosporous, it presumably would have to deal with the Turkish fleet, which is supposed to be in that region and the most pow erful member of which is the cruiser Sultan Selin, formerly the German cruiser Goehen. s2 .,.
 The Prosperous is about IS miles long and from one-half to one and one-half miles wide. It is defended with modern Notifications which guard the approach to Constantinople.

Entire Company of Prussian Guards Taken Prisoners
 by French at Mesnil.
GERMANS PREPARE
 ROAD FOR RETREAT?
Rebuilding of Bridges They Recently Wrecked Interpreted as Indication of German Plan for Omit
 ting Belgium.

London, March 5.---Ground was gained along the entire Champagne font today, according to the Par!s communique received tonight.
 The Germans were pushed back 200 yards on a front 600 yards w!re Cr the far slope of the ridge north east of Mesnil, and entire companies of the crack Prussian guards were captured near Perthes and hefc, e. spite attempts to retrieve them, and several trenches captured In the layine northeast of Beausejour, have made the French complete masters oe the bed of the stream. 1risoners captured admit that the German per- ctntage of loss on this front has been extremely high, says Paris.
 Of the action north of Mesnil. the I'crlin statement says all French at tacks were repulsed and the posi- tions of the Germans maintained ill., tact during yesterday and last night. The French report deals with the &C., ton of today, so there is no contra dCtion.
 Kill 1000 French.
 Berlin states that more than. 1000 French were killed before the wire entanglements on the heights to the Inortheas of Cellcs in the fighting in the Vosges. The Paris statement says the French attacks have carried them up to the wire entapglemellts Of the Germans. but no mention 7 .sss made of severe losses
 Terrific fighting is proceeding in Belgium and in Northeastern France. 1 Tn the dunes to the east of Lom- 1 haertzyde the Germans burrowed to- ward the Franco-B Belgian trenches in an attempt to bring their pits into commanding range where an en- flading fire might sweep the allies works. No less than twelve times were the allies forced to pour a Nithering fire among the sappers end rifle men of the enemy before they finally were forced to desist from .he threatening operations. l Notre Dame de Lorette, north of Arras, was the scene of new French triumph. Following the capture of ar entire quick-firing gun section on Thursday evening, the French forces today took the German attackers off their feet by the force with which tl:ey met a fresh attack and hurled the Germans back even beyond the point from which they began the at tack. Advanced positions which lave been in the hands of the Ger mans for two days were recapturesl, and a number of prisoners werc taken.
 Prepare for Retreat. l Unofficial reports of the activity in Flanders follow:
 From Rotterdam the London Daily Mail learns that the Germans have Leen driven back from many of. their entrenched positions in the Belgium litoral and many of their heavy guns along the coast have been captured.
 A dispatch to the Daily News from the Belgian frontier says. a large body of German engineers lave arriy cd in Flanders and are bridging the . Leopold canal. where but two months ago they had wrecked the bridges end their approaches. Three bridges already have been replaced and thu , work on the fourth has been com menced.

FALSE REPORT
CIRCULATING
Statement that Board has
Made Agreement With
Talmadge, Erroneous.

From President James b. New
port of the Black Canyon irriga-
tion district, the Herald is auth
orized to state that, SO far, no
negotiations have been entered
into with j. S. Tallmadge, or any
other person, relative to putting
water upon the lands of the dis
trict: While negotiations aTe
still in progress, and meeting
OF the directors will be held in
Caldwell today, nothing definite
has been determined, nor is like
Iy to be determined for some
time to come. All reports to the
contrary are withoutfoundation
in fact. This statement is made
to counteract the effects OF state
ments made in various newspap-
ers during the past few days.
The directors are bending every
energy to get water on the lands
as soon and as inexpensively as
possible, but do not want erron-
eous reports circulated.
