REPORTS GERMAN
FOOD SUPPLY AMPLE
Observer Says Scarcity Cry Is
Raised to Get Americans
to Feed Belgians.
[By Cable to The Tribune.

Berne. March 24.-Recent warnings
to the English public not to give ere
dence to any notion Of Germany's run
ming short of food are strikingly con-
frmed by the last report of the Ger
man War Industries Committee, which
vigorously denies the idea that food
stuffs are beginning to become scarce
in Germany.
The measures taken by the govern
ment, it says, were merely wise pre-
cautions and prudence. Since certain
products cannot be imported, means
must be found of replacing them by
those of which there is an abundance
in Germany and which cannot be ex-
ported.
The measures of the government
were taken only to insure the supplies
Of foodstuffs holding out until the next
harvest.
This is the best possible admission.
SAYS an observer, from German sources
that Germany's outcry about the short
ness of food was intended onl. to in
duce Americans to prolong the war by
relieving her Of the disagreeable task
Of providing food for the Belgians.

Hungary Sees Peril
in Fall of PrZemySl

Venice (via London, March 24.-The
fall of Przemysl has exercised a de-
pressing effect throughout Austria
Hungary, according to advices received
here. Especially is this the case in
Hungary, where the danger of Rus
sian invasion has greatly increased.
The newspapers, however, are united in
declaring the situation in Galicia and
the Carpathians TO be absolutely unaf-
fected by the loss Of the fortress.
In Vienna the news of the captula-
ton of Przemysl was resolved some
what alphabetically, but it was notice
able that the people sought their homes
from the cafes and restaurants earlier
than usual. The newspapers print in
terviews with military and political
personages, who for the most part con-
fine themselves to praising the heroism
of the garrison. General Schoenaich,
the former Minister of War, said:
Everything now depends upon the
tremendous battle raging in the Car
pathians. II we succeed in defeating
the enemy then the fall OF Przemysl
will remain only an episode of the war.

NEW GERMAN RUSH
EXPECTED AT USER

Paris, March Pat Is reported that
the Germans are preparing for another
supreme effort in Flanders. Already
there has been considerable fighting
along the User, the Germans having
bombarded Nieuport and Dixmude,
while the Belgians have made progress
along both banks of the river.
An official communication from the
War Department to-day gives details
of the recent fighting south of Notre
Dame de Lorette, in Northwestern
France, near Arras. The struggle CEN
tired on the spur of a hill, possession of
which was disputed violently for sew
eral months, as the position commands
three important roads and also the viii
lage of Ablain, in which the Germans,
so long as they retained it, could mass
large numbers o. reinforcements. On
March II the War Office announced the
capture of three miles OF trenches on
this hill.
The attack began on the afternoon of
March 10, when a battalion of the l5Sth
Regiment, under cover of the fire Of
heavy artillery, charged for seventy
yards, capturing the first line OF the
German trenches.
when the smoke cleared our troops
were seen TO be fortifying the positions
with the utmost calm" the report says.
Gathering his scattered forces. the
enemy soon made a desperate counter
attack. Hand-to-hand fighting in the
trenches ensued, in which there were
many acts Of particular bravery"
Three successive counter attacks
were made by the Germans, but the
French succeeded in holding the ground
they had gained. The report says that
this action resulted 81 the capture of
the whole spur, with 10 prisoners, two
rapid-fire guns and telephone station.

Dardanelles, March 10 via Constan-
tinople, Berlin and London).-One
French battleship sent to the bottom,
enc British battleship on shore, driven
on the beach, battered to pieces and
sunk; a destroyer also sunk, and three
other ships of the Allies damaged to
such an extent that it was found neces-
sary to take them out of action, while,
on the other side, the Turkish forts on
the Dardanelles, have not been silenced
and the losses sustained by their garri-
sons are nominal; these are details OF
the result of the tremendous efforts
made by the Allied feet on March IS
TO force the passage of the Dardanelles.
Cannonade Lasts Seven Hours.
The action lasted nearly seven hours,
during which time there was terrific
cannonade from the ships Of the Allies
and the Turkish forts. The fire from
the warships at times was exceedingly
severe, while the Turkish gunners
maintained their precision wonderfully,
even when they were literally buried
in the earth and debris which the ex-
ploding shells from the warships threw
broadcast over their positions.
The Allies put in an appearance at
about 1880 a. m, throwing their first
shells in the town of Chanak-Kalessi:
Their vessels at this hour numbered
four French and five British battle
ships. A little later five other British
warships entered the bay, and the
bombardment rapidly became truly
terrific and wonderfully spectacular.
The correspondent of The Associated
Press had taken shelter in Fort
Chimenlik, but he was driven out by
shells TO a position on a hill outside
the town. But even this hill already
was burning in two places, as a re-
suit Of exploding shells. In the be-
ginning the range Of the British and
French gunners was excellent. The
correspondent saw q she'll land fair on
a corner of the Fort Kale-Sultanie
tower and tear out a large hole in the
masonry. This rooted out party of
newspaper correspondents who were
lust about to leave cover.
While traversing Chanak-kalessi
several houses were knocked to pieces
bv exploding shells. The trip TO the
town was accelerated by the well dl-

EARLY WILHELMINA
HEARING REFUSED
Admiralty Court Grants Govern
ment's Request for
More Time.

London, March 24.-Counsel repre-
senting the owners of the cargo Of the
American steamship Wilhelmina, which
was seized by the British authorities
while taking cargo of food from New
York to Germany, made an unsuccess-
full application to-day in the Admiralty
Court to have the case heard in the
present term.
Counsel complained that since the
vessel had been detained the American
authorities both here and in Washing
ton had been pressing the British gov
ernment to expedite the case, and said
that on March 10 Ambassador Page, on
instructions from Washington, had en-
tered formal protest against the de-
lay.
Representatives of the crown said
that they were not yet ready for trial,
and Sir Samuel Evans, the president
Of the Admiralty Court, refused the ap-
plication.
No objection would be raised If the
owners of the Wilhelmina unloaded her
cargo and sent the vessel on her way,
representatives Of the Attorney Cen
/ eral said. In such a case the cargo
would be sold. if desired. and the pro-
ceeds paid into the prize court for
/ later adjudication:
Ii had been made clear from the out
set that the cargo and not the ship was
seized, and the intention had been to
discharge the cargo and permit the
vessel 10 proceed At the special re-
quest of the claimants of the cargo X
had been left aboard, which made the
detention of the ship the result of
their own action.
Assurances were given that the gov
ernment would do all in its power 10
bring the case to trial at an early date
in the next term.
Washington, March 24.-Complica-
tions have arisen in regard TO the
ownership of the cargo of the Amer
lean steamship Wilhelmina, which are
believed 10 have Influenced the British
Admiralty Court in resisting counsels
applicatiOn for prompt determination
of the proceedings before the court.
II was at first supposed that the
cargo Of provisions was owned entirely
by an American concern. and II was
upon that understanding that the State
Department, as late as last week, made
representations TO the British govern
ment with the view of having the legal
proceedings expedited TO escape loss
from deterioration.
Recently, however, il has been re-
ported to the department that the
ownership OF the cargo was not en-
tirely in one concern, and now 1t IS
expected that the proceedings in the
British court will be shaped to de-
velop all Of the facts connected with
thl ownership.

Vienna (via Amsterdam to London ',
March 2i.-The "Neue Freie Presse'
describes privations to which the garrl-
con at Przemysl were reduced prior to
the capitulation of the fortress. Five
airmen. who made their escape. relate
that during the last few. weeks the
hospitals were crowded with people ex-
ord man was in hospital.
Before the last sortie, on Friday,
each man received two tins of pre-
serves. which were ravenously de-
voured. In many cases the sorely tried
digestive organs could not support the
unaccustomed quantity of food, with
the result that the men fell i'll and some
of them died.
All of the horses had already been
killed and eaten, including the generals
chargers. The last supplies of oats
were ground into meal, which, with the

The column which was defeated in

From Permysl now come only stories

cation. the Russians claim to have capt

have made a general advance. DIS
matches from Austrian sources declare
that this battle is likely to continue Tor

Will NOT Change
BIG SHIPS TO
OIL BURNERS

The Pacific Mail will not attempt tC
convert its vessels from coal TO oil
burners in order to effect a reduction
in the size of the crews. That is pos
tive announcement coming from A
j. Frey, assistant to r. P. Schwerin
vice president and general manager OF
the steamship company. -.
All officers in the liner Persia, in
port this morning, professed ignorance
regarding the future disposition of the
vessels. 1t was the general consensus
of opinion that the steamers would
continue in service, but under what
changes or restrictions no one profess
Cd to know.
I'VE are told that the steamers will
be taken off the transpacific run the
last of the year. On the other hand
we note that each vessel is leaving
its terminal port filled to capacity
with cargo, while thousands of tons of
freight are left behind on both coasts
of the Pacific" was the way the sitra-
ton was summed up by several Paci-
fic Nail men. .....
The Chinese crews continue to re-
Ceive daily instruction in English.
Each vessel carries a corps of insruc-
tors. All Asiatic firemen, sailors and
stewards are coached in all phrases
in common use aboard ship 1t is said
they are becoming quite proficient.
Pacific Mail steamers will cut out
Honolulu as a port Of call homeward
bound, commencing with the Mongo-
Tia, which steams from Hongkong Sep
TENDER 80, in order to be in port here
before the seamen's bill goes into eff
feet, according to an announcement
just made by the officials of the COM
pany at San Francisco. This con-
firms the opinion advanced by the Star
Bulletin some weeks ago when a
change of run was first forecasted in
this paper. The Mongolia is expected
to make another voyage to the Orient,
leaving San Francisco November 2,
and on that voyage will not call at
Honolulu either outward or homeward
bound. =.
1t was, pointed out by shipping men
that if the vessels are made oil burn
ers the compliance with the seaman's
bill would be easy
In reply to this suggestion Mr.. Frey
recently said; Three years ago when
we were to build four more ships to-
play between New York and Manila,
figures were obtained as to the cost
of making the present fleet over into
oil burners so that all the vessels
would burn that fuel The Panama
canal act, which prohibits railroad
owned ships, put stop to our con-
other vessels for the canal
trade and also stopped the negotia-
tons for making the big four into oil
burners, and nothing has been done
since that time on the proposition"
