THE WAR NEWS,

Three battleships-two British and one
French-have been sent to the bottom of the
straits of the Dardanelles by Turkish mines.
while at least two other wars hips have been
raked by thecannon fire of the Turks and
damaged. Both Great Britain and France
admit these losses, the first serious one suffered
by the Allies since they began their endeavors
to pierce the tortuous waterway leading to
Constantinople. The British casualties are
said to have been slight Other ships have
taken the place of those lost, land the naval
operations have continued.
The British admiralty declares it has reason
to believe the famous sea rover. the German
Karlsruhe, was sunk in the vicinity of West
Indies early in November. A similar report
from unofficial sources has been in circulation

Zeppelin airships raided Paris early last
Sunday morning and dropped dozen bombs,
The damage done was unimportant. Seven or
eight persons were injured but only one seri-
ously. Four of the air craft started for the
capital. following the valley of the Disc. Only
two, however, reached their goal Missiles ale
so were dropped at Compiegne, kibecourt and
Dreslincoult without serious result. Paris re-
mained calm while the aerial invasion was in
progress, residents of the city showing more
curiosity than fear as to the results.

THE MARCH WIND.

THE MARCH WIND.
The March wind is saucy sprite,
He blows girls skirts awry
And sends bats rolling down the street,
To cheer the passers-by.
He fills the air with binding dust
Or chills you to the bone
And acts in every way as il
The world were all his own.
And yet the March wind does good work,
As he is meant to do.
He blows the Winters cold away
And Winters miasms, too.
He clears the air and makes it fresh
For Springs work to begin;
He blows away the frosts and cold
And blows the robins in.

R|TCH|E OUTPO|NTS
CHAMPION WELSH
Britisher Shows Remarkable De-
fensive Form; American Is
Trifle Wild at Times
Special to The Telegraph

New York, March IL. - Willie
Ritchie, former lightweight champion
easily outpointed Freddy Welsh, the
champion lightweight of the world, in
a ten-round bout at Madison Square
Garden last night in a bout that was
full of action from bell to bell.
Ritchie from the start, sailed into
the Britisher and had the latter more
than once hanging onto the ropes. In
fact every round belonged to the eX-
champion who apparently was sting
ing from the deefat he receive when
he lost the title to Welsh and tried
hard to retrieve himself.
Welsh, however, brought all of his
defensive tactics into play and on
more than one occasion his good de-
fense warded off danger. Ritchie lost
what little chance he had of scoring a
*. o. through his wildness. Welsh
through his cleverness, easily avoiding
his opponents vicious swings, who, at
one part of the fight was going at a
tremendous clip. In the last round
Welsh appeared to be on queer street
and he even surprised his most ardent
admirers by the manner that he took
all the gaff and then came up for
more.
1t was a fight where Ritchie did not
allow the champion to get started
properly, for he was right on top of
the Britisher all through the fight and
did not once let up, only in the sixth
round, when Welsh got in a terrific
right jolt to the jaw which straighten-
ed Ritchie and took quite lot of vim
out of the American until the end of
the round. Ritchie was the aggressor
right from the start, leading with q
left uppercut which did good work
Welsh got in some hard rights to the
jaw and made everyone count. but they
did not appear in the least to slow up
Ritchie, who always kept boring in.
1t was a victory for Ritchie, but a
knockout is necessary to bring back
cham pionshiD
