WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, March Especial.
Heavy fighting in Russian Poland, in
the Carpathians and in the Cham
payne district and the Vosges, in
France, the continuation of the bonn
bardment of the forts in the Darda-
nelles by the Anglo-French fleets and
the sinking of the German submarine
US by destroyers of the allied squad
ron off Dover, are features of the
campaign in the war of the nations,
concerning which, however, details
are meager.
The Russians apparently are fore
ing the operations to the north of
Grodno, in Poland, although there
are evidences that the German troops
are resisting stubbornly. In the
Bobr river region the contending
forces are in close contact and there
the fighting has been hand to hand.
Particularly fierce also have been the
encounters to the north, near Mlawa.
The Russians report the capture in
the Carpathians and in eastern Ga
licia of more than 5000 men and
sixteen machine guns in one day.
The Austrian official statement, on
the other hand, describes the repulse
of the Russians after a sanguinary
battle on the Biala river, and de-
clares that all of the Russian attacks
have been repulsed.
In the Yosges violent engagements
again are taking place, and shells
from German field guns are said TO
have fallen in Swiss territory. In
Champagne the French assert that
they have strengthened and widened
their positions, notably to the north
west OF Perthes and Mesnil.
Allied airmen have dropped bombs
on "A powder factory in Rottweil,
Wuerttemburg. The Germans say
that only slight damage was done,
while a French official report says
that the factory was set on fire.
Both the British admiralty and the
French ministry of marine describe
briefly the operations i'm the Darda-
%nelles. where the warships of the al
lies are making steady progress
against the forts guarding the straits.
French warships are throwing shells
acrOss the Gallipoli peninsula OF the
line of forts extending from Bulaire.
The operations of the Mediterra-
nean fleet apparently are extending,
for French warships have bombarded
two places along the Syrian coast.
Arsus and Saba, the latter a short
distance south of Beirut.
The American ambassador at Con
stantinople is endeavoring TO arrange
for a neutral zone for the protection
of foreigners and noneombatants at
Constantinople if the allies reach the
Turkish capital.
Enver Pasha, the Turkish chief OF
stan, however, expresses himself as
confident that the allies will not sue
coed in making their way through
the D%ardanelles. He declares that
only the outer Notifications have
been damaged, and that these
were old defenses, the speedy subju-
cation of which had been expected
He also declares that the real de-
lenses of the Dardanelles have not
been affected by the bombardment.
American steamers at Bremerhav-
en- are discharging cargoes of dye
stuffs for shipment to the United
States because of the Anglo-French
embargo on commerce from Ger

Freedom Of Speech

Evidently Prof. Kuno Meyer. in his zeal to
impart 20 Harvard students some modicum OF
"kultur," has missed the reciprocal benefit af-
forded by his presence in Cambridge. No region
is more charged with the inspiring genius Of
American institutions than the neighborhood OF
Harvard university. Lexington, Bunker HILL
Boston Harbor, and even the statue OF John Hsr-
vard are eloquent in the defense OF that glorious
possession Of Americans freedom OF thought and
conscience and freedom to express In speech
writing opinions and conclusions at all times.
II is to be regretted that Prof Meyer should
have so failed. for II was one comforting reflec-
ton that the German exchange professors would
take back to Berlin with them some little leaven
OF American manners.
His chagrin at the lack of reverence shown
for the kaiser by student OF Harvard may be-
come him a loyal German. but his wish that
all Communication and relations be severed until
we adopt the German view is evidently born of
HIS personal and not his national attitude. The
reply OF President Lowell, couched in definite
but respectful terms, very plainly tells him and
the world what may be looked for from Harvard
in the matter OF repression OF speech and in this
Harvard fairly represents the United States of
America.

The Danger from Fool Friends.

Il is no secret that the people Of Omaha have
not been fully satisfied with their municipal gov
eminent since the commission plan was inaugu-
rated. We are perfectly safe in saying that ex-
pectations have not been met by the change to
the extent folks we're led to believe they would
be. Neither have the people been seriously dis
satisfied except for a prevailing natural desire
for Improvement in certain places. and along
certain lines.
Under normal conditions this desire for inn
provement would undoubtedly have enforced the
demand for several changes in the personnel OF
the commission. and this may yet be brought
about. II is unfortunate, however. for the sew
eral competent and deserving candidates. whose
election would insure improvement in the city
hall. that just TO make an decentralization
slogan for a newspaper with grievance they
have allowed themselves to be weighted down
with other candidates who represent nothing but
a desire TO connect with the payroll
For ones own mistakes, either in politics or
fl business, person has himself to blame, but
it's mighty tough on political ambitions to have
fool friends everyday the game and endanger the
chance Of victory.
