Sweeping Mines Away.
London, March 26--The British
battleships Queen Elizabeth and Aga
memnon and the cruiser Cornwall en-
tered the Dardanelles straits Wednes-
day night to protect mine sweepers,
according to dispatch to Reuters
Telegram Co. from the Island of Tene-
dos dated Thursday. At 10 o'clock
Turkish artillery at Erenkui fired five
shells and the forts at Kilid Bahr also
fired. The British vessels replied
with twenty rounds. To this the
Turks made no reply.
From midnight until morning the
mine sweepers continued their work
without disturbance, the correspond.
ent says, and with very satisfactory
results.
Italy Friendly to Britain.
Rome. March Accommodating on
replies received from distinguished
Englishmen regarding their views on
Anglo-Italian friendship, the Giorale
D. Italia declared that cordial rela.
tions between Great Britain and Italy,
while based in part on sentiment are
founded chiefly on political consider
atoms. The paper says that since
Italy Is essentially seafaring nation
she cannot ignore the special mari
time position of England and it adds:
England, in her turn, having SO
many interests in the Mediterranean,
has felt and we hope continues to feel
the convenience of not having as =
hostile power a nation SO distinctly
Mediterranean as Italy"
The Giorale D. Italia recalls that
for many years Italy's traditional
friendship with England existed Joint
ly with the formers alliance with Ger
many and Austria. Then difficulties
arose to prevent remaining in the
triple alliance and still preserving
cordial relations with England. This,
the paper asserts, was one Of the chief
reasons why Italy maintained her
neutrality in the war.

FIT. Madison, March 26.-Fifty three
inmates of the Fort Madison prison
have received notice of one kind or an
other from the board of parole rela-
tive to their Ceases" The nature of
them may be said to be refusals and
fixing of time for parole. The proper

it Is quite likely that more than usual
of the number will have had their time

LANSING TOSTAY AS
SECRETARY OF STATE
President Said to Have Decided
Upon Acting Secretary to
Continue in Office.

Announcement OF the appointment
OF Robert Lansing to be Secretary OF
State in succession to william Jen-
nings Rryan may be made at any time
President Wilson. the United Press
learns. has definitely decided to name
him as his Premier for the remainder
ot the term. He has listened to the
suggestions made for the place by
the politicians. but Is understood to
have taken the position that no man
proposed had the necessary qualifica-
tions for the post.
Mr. Lersing Is now serving under
an ad Interim appointment that holds s
good for thirty days from June 3. The
President may walt until the last mo
ment 10 make the announcement of
the appointment, but there Is no long
or any doubt that the selection has
been made and only some unexpected
serious complication will cause a
change.
Lansing has been the Presidents 8
right hand man in consideration OF
the legal questions growing, out of the
various international problems forced
on the United States by the European
war. His relations with his Chief have
monious. President Wilson, II Is no
longer secret, considers himself en-
tirely responsible for the foreign pol
icy of the United States and this was
especially emphasized in the friction
which resulted in the retirement from
the Cabinet of Mr.. Bryan. Lansing is
In sympathy with the Views of the
President In every way. far more so
than woult be the case were a man Of
the type OF Richard Olney or John
Bassett Moore to be named,
In addition Lansing is on the most
friendly terms with all OF the am
bassadors of the belligerent powers.
They have been coming to him with
their troubles ever since he succeeded
John Bassett More as counsellor of
the State Department and by his tact
he has smoothed over several decid-
edly knotty problems.
