SITUATION LOOKS
GOOD TO ALLIES
Operations on Both Land and Sea Give Great
Britain Reason for Expressing Hope Success
in DardaneIIes Will Open Another Road to
Berlin

LONDON, March 10, 12.lS p. m. -
As England sees it, not since the war
began has the situation on land and
sea been more favorable to the allies
than it is today. Confident opinions OF
this nature are finding constant expires
sion i'm London.
Slowly but surely, it is argued, the
allied fleet is creeping toward Constan
tinople and thus opening another road
to Berlin. The retirement of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg from North
Poland is said to be imminent by many
British observers. In the west the
allies claim the ascendency all alonE
the line although no decisive engage
mtnts are being fought, while in the
Balkans and in Italy, according to
British interpretations of the political
news from those countries, the majori.
~ is clamoring for intervention ON the
side Of the allies This is said to be
especially true in Greece and RumanIa
in spite of the fact that the govern
ments of these countries still cling out.
wardly to the policy of neutrality.
The crisis in Greece seems to have
been bridged over temporarily with
the formation of new cabinet, but
the ability of the new premier TO CON
tsol the chamber Of deputies is a mat
ter Of much speculation here.
Though officially denied, reports in
sist that a ministerial crisis mas arisen
in Bulgaria, where the premier favor
ing intervention was opposed by the
king Paris officially confirmed today
what London heard unoificially last
night; namely, that the superdread
uaught Queen Elizabeth slipped into
the Dardonelles proper Monday anC

The Germans, though unable to ad

THAW WITNESSES
ASKED AS TO SANITY
Their Testimony Indicates That Slayer
of Stanford White is
of Sound Mind.

NEW YORK, March 10. - Each OF
the witnesses placed on the stand today
by the state in its effort to prove its
case against Harry K. Thaw and five
eo-defendants, charged with conspir-
acy, was upon cross examination
asked questions designed to indicate
to the jury that the slayer of Stanford
White was of sound mind at the time
of his escape. Although none of the
witnesses was asked directly whether
he considered Thaw sane, each was
questioned closely about Thaw s per
sonal appearance, his manner of dis
cussing current topics and of occupy
ing his spare moments.
The witnesses, most of them en-
ployes at the hospital, agreed that
fhaw was always dressed neatly, that
he never was violent and that he read
many text books and current move is.
The state was expected to complete its
ease late today.
LAWYERS for Thaw yesterday made
their nrst attempt to get testimony
concerning his SANITY into the record of

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-Aecording
to the doctrine laid down by the American
cabinet III other cases the collector OF
customs at Norfolk must give the com
mander Of the German ship ~ hours from
the time of his arrival to take on coal
and provisions. If the ship needs repair
ing the naval constructor at the port will
make an examination and report what
would be reasonable time to make nee
essary repairs and the German ship would
be given ~ hours in addition. Meanwhile
the American government would keep the
time of her departure secret, 50 that no
unfair advantage might accrue to hostile
warships which might gather in wait for
the German ship.
The disposition of any prisoners Of war
a German ship may have on board will
raise another question. 1t Is possible they
may be parolcd American officials are
awaiting Official information before an
