LONDON. March 1S (1o:25 p. M.).-
The next important battle in the west.
1t is believed, will take place along
tho River User. held on one side by the
recently reorgnnized Belgian army and
on the other by tho Germans.
AS tho floods have subsidized, the Bel
CLANS. supported by tho allies war
ships. have, pushed their lines slightly
forward. and this is almost certain to
lead to counterattacks by the Germans
and general engagements. as when sim
liar movements were initiated elsewhere
along the front. An artillery duel al
ready has commenced
There might be n slight delay while
the Germans arc awaiting re-enforce-
mcnts. for they have been using most
Of their reserves to counterattack the
British troops Mt ST. Eloi and Neuve
Chapelle, and the French north of
Arrae. but that a big clash will soon
come nobody doubts.
The contest for the spur Of Notre
Dame de Lorette is still in progress
and. according to Berlin. further at
tempts of the French to advance In
Champagne, where they captured an
important ridge north of lie Mesnil
have been repulsed. Fighting In the
Argonne forest and the Vosges has
slackened somewhat, owing, doubtless,
to the return of cold weather
LITTLE NEWS FROM
EASTERN FRONT
There Is little news from the eastern
front. and beyond the fact that the
Russians have again crossed the East
Prussian frontier in the far northeast,
near Tilslt. and that they continue their
offensive against the Austrians in
Bukowina, there Is no change.
There Is n temporary lull in the bonn
bnrdment OF the Dardanelles and
Smyrna, according to an Athens dis
patch. due, 1t Is thought, to unfavor-
able weather conditions. The Turks
are taking advantage OF this to repair
damage done to tho forts and batteries,
and they express confidence. which Is
shared by tho German fA,d marshal.
Baron Won der Goltz, THAI tho strait is
impenetrable.
Tho belief Is held here however. that
AS soon as the ships receive fresh am
munition, they will resume the attack
with even greater force
The conference between the govern
ment and labor leaders to arrange for
the acceleration Of tho output OF war
munitions, was continued In London to-
day and adjourned until tomorrow to
complete the agreement reached. The
iaborites desire assurances that tho
arrangements entered into now will
not pretudicially affect the workers ar
ter the war Is concluded.

Immediately Destroy Her.

LONDON. March 10 (2:10 A. M.).-
The loss of n French submarine boat,
in an attempt to run through the Dar-
danelles. is described by Rear Admiral
Guepratte. of the French Dardanelles
fleet. In an interview with the Daily
Telegraph's Tenedos correspondent
The attempt apparently was made
some time ago. although no announce

THE submarine had as it's object
the sinking of the Turkish cruiser
Sultan Selim formerly the German
cruiser Goeben)." the correspondent
says Admiral Guepratte told him.
The submarine was submerged, and
successfully navigated the strait up to
the corner where the Asiatic coast juts
out at Niagara
Through some mscalculation, the
hull struck the rocky shore, which
compelled the boat to rise to the sur
face. Immediately the submarine ap-
pcared the forts sank her. Only a few
Of her crew escaped, and these were
made prisoners"
Regarding tho present situation in
the Dardanelles, Rear-Admiral Cue
pratte said the waters OF the strait
arc clear as far as Mephez Bernu. to
which point all vessels OF the fleet can
safely navigate. The main mine fields.
however. are between Chanak Kalessi
and Kilid Bahr, where also are the
main coast defenses.
