Sikh's Death Disk.

Around the point of their turbans
the Sikh warriors carry steel weapon
which looks very much like an ordi-
nary QUOT. but is called "chakkar"
This quot has an edge like razor. and
the Silks throw it by twirling it round
the finger. and then suddenly releasing
1t. The weapon flies through the air
revolving horizontally. and inficts a
terrible wound ON any one it strikes.
At a distance of twelve yards one of
these "chakkars." in the bands of an
expert. has been known to cut a two
inch bamboo cane completely in two.
Obviously. the safest place in which
this weapon could possibly be carried
is on the top of the turban. where it is
out of the way.-London Tit-Bits.

cording to the official announcements
by the French war Office. They have
progressed beyond Neuve ChapeHe
and have gained two miles east OF Al.

Champagne continues successfully.
The German war office announces
that the British have failed to advance
beyond Neuve Chapelle, the capture
of which town they now admit. British
warships have bombarded Westende

In Poland the Russians have re.

MIGHTY BATTLE NEAR
Allied Operations Prelude to General
Offensive on Western Front.

Neuye Chapelle and ST. Eloi, in the
west, are pivots of the battle areas in
which struggles that may mark inn
portant milestones in the war are
now being fought.
The outcome of the fight for Neuve
Chapelle, from which the British have
driven the Germans with a loss oil
nearly 10000 men, should prove, in
the opinion of British observers,
whether the Germans can mass men
and retrieve ground lost by them with
the same battering tactics they EN-.
ployed last year. If the British can
hold the positions gained by them II
will go far toward attesting what may
be expected when the allies begin
their spring advance.

A GENERAL SURVEY OF
The WAR
THURSDAY.

The British victory at Neuve Cna'
pelle, north of La Bassee, appears TO
have been the greatest single
made by the British since the western
operations entered upon their present
stage. Besides the village OF Neuve
Chapelle, German positions covering
an area of about two miles square
were occupied and are still being held
by the British in the face OF counter
attacks. The French waE office reJorts

MONDAY.

The German cruiser Dresden, sole
survivor. of the battle with the British
off the Falkland Islands three months
ago, was sunk off the Chile coast by
three British cruisers. All of the crew
of the Dresden were saved.
Great Britain has declared a block
ade of all German ports. This orde1.
of council places an embargo upon
shipments of any kind to and from
Germany. This measure was taken In
retaliation Of Germany's submarine
warfare against British and French
shipping.
The great battle in north Poland
seems still to be hanging fire. The
German advance on PrzasnysZ very
evidently has been checked.
In the west, Berlin says, the Ger
mans have progressed against a Brit
ish position south of Ypres and re
pulsed French advances in the Cham
payne. Paris admits that the British
lost some ground at st. Eloi.

east of Silver City.
They lost three mine clearing ships

Turks.
This was continued for some time.
but without effect. At three o'clock In
the morning the mine sweepers were
sighted from shore. The Turkish gun.
ners permitted them to come in close
and then opened fire, sinking the
three mine sweepers and damaging
tne cruiser.
The sailing vessel had been semi
into the mine field to take observa
tions. She struck a mine and sank.
The cannonading was unusually
heavy.
No further bombardment was I'm.
dertaken by the allied fleet for the
CAV. One warship entered the bay III
the afternoon, but withdrew shortly
afterward. On March 8, 8 and 10 there
was no bombardment.
Only unimportant operations have
been undertaken by the allied fleet
for the past few days. The activity OF
the warships has been limited to de
monstrations. Two new attempts by
cruisers and destroyers to approach
the outer Notifications and clear the
channel of mines are reported to have
been futile because of the effective
fire from the defenders.
The Vail of Smyrna went on board
the British flagship after the bonn
bardment of that port and held a con.
ference with the British commander
during which the Smelling was sus'
pended. No agreement was reached,
and the Vail on landing gave out q
proclamation saying he would resist
to the end.

Counsel Gets Writ Preventing
Return Before Friday.
GUARD AGAINST KIDNAPPING
Armed Deputies Were Scattered
Through Crown In Court RAoom
Until Prisoner Was Removed to the
Tombs.

Harry K. Thaw will not be sent
back to New Hampshire by the state
of New York, as his counsel had de.
manded.
Instead he must be returned to Mat.
teawan asylum, unless legal papers
calling for his detention in New York
county are served upon the warden
of the Tombs prison.
Such was Supreme Court Justice
Pages decision in d%isposing OF the
formal motion to have Thaw returned
to New England.
In the meantime counsel for Thaw.
rs If in anticipation of just such a
decision, had obtained from Supreme
Court Justice Blur a writ OF habeas
corpus, which will keep Thaw in the
Tohms until Friday, when he must be
produced in court.
Thaw's application to be sent back
to New Hampshire followed his &C
quittal Saturday of the charge made
by the state of New York that he
~conspired to escape from the asylum,
1t was on this conspiracy charge that
he was extradited from New Hamp'
shire. New York state seeks to hold
Thaw and force him back to the asy'
lum.
It was a close call for Thaw, as
plans had been considered by the
state for returning him at once to his
longtime residence in the hospital for
the criminal insane.
Asylum attendants were in the court
room ready to hurry him there by au.
tomobile the moment the motion for
a return to New Hampshire was de-
MED him.
But the writ of habeas corpus, that
had been served half an hour before
on Hanley, the warden of the Tombs,
prevented this.
Sheriff Grifenhagen, of New York
county, had heard whisperings of a
plot to abduet Thaw during the brief
interval when he should be out OF
Hanley's custody in going to and from
the prison to the court room across
the Bridge of Sighs."
Accordingly the sheriff armed
twenty deputies with revolvers and
scattered them through the crowd
that packed the court room. 8" am
taking no chances" the sheriff said,
81 am we'll heeled for an abduction"
The next step to keep Thaw out OF
Matteawan will be taken Friday be-
fore Justice Blur upon return of the
writ of habeas corpus. 1t is expected
thai an effort will be made then to
have the question as to Thaw's san.
ity decided by a jury.
Failing to obtain Thaw's release,
there is a strong probability that the
case will be thrown into the federal
courts again and will eventually find
its way to the United States supreme
court.
