PHOENIX. Mar 1.-The mmg of an application for a writ of habeas corpus on behalf Of Knox Laird. now a convict in Florence prison, publci. ty is given to the move on the part Of Governor Hunt to retain. if possible his right of pardon Laird was sent up for murder from Gila county ip September 1913. His crime was com mitted at Miami during riot there some months previous He had killed a man by throwing rock. Since the judge of the court and numerous citi- zens have potitioned for his pardon and on February % last, Governor Hunt granted his unconditional par don.
 On the presentation of the pardon 10 Warden Sims. that official denied its validity on the ground that the board Of pardons and paroles, and not the governor had the pardonine authority Attorney sam Patee. rep resenting Convict Laird at once pro pared papers and they were filed to- day. If the writ is denied, appeal will be taken to the supreme court and if granted Jones. attorney gener- al will appeal on the part of Warden Sims.
 It is important to Governor Hunt that the matter be settled before the other men condemned to death can no longer have the protection of re. Iprieyes. heretafore granted by him prior Co the pardon and parole board law being declared carried He will if the supreme court declares the board of pardons and paroles valid only act in an advisory capacity li the court decides otherwise the par doning power must remain with the governor and he will commute to life an men now under sentence of death in the state prison

LONDON, Mar 4-There is very little change in the military and nay al situation in the last twenty-four hours Whre the Russians continue progress against the Germans in North Poland. according to their of- ficia lreports and are pursuing and capturing many retreating Austrians in Eastern Calicia. and repulsina with heavy losses. persistent attacks of the Germans allies in the Carpg- thians They have not by any means yet disposed Of any Of the forces oD- posed 10 them

 Along he western frontier, the French are continuing their attacks in Champagne and Argonue but be- yond these the only movement of any consequence was made north of Ar ras, where the Germans succeeded in capturing a newly constructed French trench.
 The battles in the east for the pos session of the Dardanelles, are ere ating much interest as they are con sidered to have a very marked bear ing on the future of the wal Having pressed the Germans back from Prz- asnysz toward Mlawa. the Russians are now eyerting efforts. according 10 their own accounts. with success. to drive them back in the districts fur ther to the north from West Kovno Co the west or Grodne and at the same time from in front of Lomza.
 These movements. if successful. might naturally be expected to force the Germans to withdraw from in front of IssOwetz, which fortress they continue to lombard with heavy guns The Austrians continue fierce at tack under disadvantageous condi. tions. owing to snow and cold against the Russian entrenchments in the Carpathians, while another of their armies is confronted with strong Rus sian endorsements, and are falling back in eastern Galicia
 The relays of battleships keep uI almost continuous bombardmeni against the Dardanelles forts. They cleared the outer straits and are now attacking the forts which line the narrows which are considered tho most difficult to deal with. The des tructiou of what the British Admiral ty calls Fort No. 9, was a necessary operation before the warships could move any further up the straits, ai it is this fort which was designed tC protect one of the mine depots in tho DaTdanelles.
