saw From The North
west.

London, Feb. 26.-All the forts at
the entrance of the Dardaneles, have !
been reduced by the allied fleet. This |
announcement was made officially.
The United States has suggested
informally to Great Britain and Ger
many that in the interests of human
ity and the safeguarding of legiti-
mate commerce all mines be removed
from the high seas except those d.
rectly necessary for the protection
of coast defenses and harbors.
The suggestion, along with pro-
possls designed to obtain Great
Britain's acquiescence in a plan to
permit distribution of foodstuffs to
the civilian population of Germany
and bring about cessation of the Ger
man submarine warfare on merchant
ships, has been submitted by Eng
land to her allies for consideration
( No intimation as to the official atti-
tude towards it has been obtained.
I Press and public, however, on the
superstition that President Wilson
has suggested that Great Britain not
carry out her threat to place an en-
barge on foodstuffs for Germany,
and that, ia return, Germany should
not enforce her submarine blockade
against the British Isles already have
expressed'their disapproval of accept
ance of such proposition.
While eight British ships have beef
destroyed in the week that the block
ade has been in force, it is pointed
out that they are for the most par
I small vessels and that most of them
instead of having food for this coun
try, either were in ballast of carry
ing coal or other freight for neutra
countries.
1t is believed here, also, that the
destruction of neutral ships and car
goes will embroil Germany with neu.
trail countries, and that in the long
run the losses the allies suffer will be
more than offset by the anger
aroused on the part of the neutrals
and the possible refusal of countries,
such as Norway, to allow goods to
be shipped from their ports to Ger
many.
This and other diplomatic ques-
tons, such as the possible entry of
Italy and Rumania into the war.
