London, March 1.-The Turkish
fleet mas fled from the vicinity of the
Dardanelles according to an Athens
dispatch. The ships were expected
by the Porte to meet the Allies in
side the Dardanelles. Instead, they
slipped, under cover of a heavy fog,
from the Nigaro Roads into the Sea
of Marmora. Allied airmen failed
to reveal their whereabouts. The
British admiralty is greatly puzzled
by their mysterious disappearance.
Many believe the vessels have with
drawn to near Constantinople, prepa1-
atory to passing through the Bos-
phorus into the Black sea in case
the Dardaneles are forced and Con-
stantinople captured.
The bombardment Of The Dardaneles
forts continues. Forty battleships, "a
cruiser, a flotilla Of destroyers and a
large number Of smaller ships are
participating.
Later dispatches from Athens re-
port the Germans manning big Krupp
guns and replying TO the allied fleet.
Landing parties on the Asatic side

The Turks poured oil ON the bodies
and attempted to burn them, but let

Paris, March 10 "Germany's doom
has been sounded. The Allies have
answered inhuman warfare with
deati-dealng stroke,' Victor Augag-
neur, the French minister of marine,
declared in an exclusive interview with
The United Press today.
"Not another ship shall reach Ger
many if we can help it-and we think
we can said the head of Frances
navy. we have observed from the
start all the rules Of civilized war
fare. Germany has broken them all,
putting herself on the plane of the
savage. Well, we'll stalve her out"
and he smiled Il grim smile of con-
fidenee, as il there was no doubt what
ever Of the ability of the French and
English navies to meet the task be-
fore them.
"But Admiral Won Tirpitz says Ger
many will starye out England it was
suggested.
"That's just bluff" said Augag-
neur. Germany IS utterly unable to
make good her threat. People say
Germany has secretly built manv large
submarines. ! know better. | know
within Two or three exactly how many
she has, aud neither England nor
France is the least frightened. She
may sink a ship now and then. This
is inevitable. But in the end, what
good will this do here? The outcome
of the war will not be changed one
iota.
"The threat to starve out England
by torpedoing her merchantmen is the
same brand as the threats to destroy
London and Paris by means of Yep
pelins What If a Zeppelin actually
visited Paris or London? 1t might
kill 100 or 200 or possibly 300 nom
combatants But what Of it? 1t
would be merely an achievement-a
record of sayagery, but the final re-
suit would in no way be affected"
"What could the Ieppelins do if
they flew over the English and French
fleet"
q will not even consider that" he
said. "They will go to pieces with
out outside aid if they tear. With
the tremendous bulls exposed to our
fire. short work would be made of
them"
"What is your Mediterranean fleet
doing?'
waiting for the enemy to pick up
enough courage to show HIMSELF" was
the laughing reply.
l remarked that perhaps the Aus
trians might leave the Adriatic and
give battle to the Anglo-French fleet
at the Dardanelles. Augagneu
chuckled.
"We wouldn't ask anything BETTER"
he said "That's what we have been
trying to bring about since the war
started"

Judge of conditions in Colorado and

not willing to submit to fair board
of arbitration to settle this strike. We
believe he did not desire to arbitrate

one must conclude he would rather
spend the money of the company for

guards, and starve the strikers into

The second big rush of the contest
is on, for on Satu day the bonus vote
offer of $4,000 extra votes for every
club of five years in new subscrip-
tions will expire, and after that con-
testants will never again be able to
get as many votes for few subscrip-
items as they can now.
New contestants could easily enter
today and win the bonus votes two or
three times before Saturday. It would
require only five new subscriptions
for a year each to win the bonus.
Five Calls-l2O,Oc0 Votes.
Five calls on the right people would
give 10000 votes if each of those
called upon should subscribe for one
year each. There is not a candidate
in the list who has not five friends
who would subscribe Immediately for
year each in order to give her that
many votes.

good friends or relatives who would
subscribe for three-year period when
it would mean so much toward the
winning of such big prizes as the

middle of last century, a Marist
Bishop, Mgr. Epalle, with two other
missionaries, fell victims to the canni-
balistic natives. On three different
occasions attempts had been made to
obtain a foothold for the Church in
these islands but without avail until
seventeen years ago when Bishop
Vidal appealed to his missionaries to
make another attempt which they did

who volunteered to accompany them
on the expedition which proved sue

Christians on these islands over which

raging in Europe, Bishop Vidal found
it necessary to come to the United
States for the purpose of making direct
appeal to the generosity of Catholic
Americans in behalf of his Vicariate
There is great need of financial help to
aid him in the propagation of the faith
among the Fijian natives. He needs
funds for the erection of humble but
permanent churches for the scattered
Catholics of his Vicariate and he ap-
peals to American Catholics to come
to his assistance. Bishop Vidal will
remain in st. Paul until next week and
will preach in the Church of st.. Louis
next Sunday, at the late Mass on the
condition of Catholicity in his distant
Vicariate.
