TO INCREASE WAR MUNITIONS
The English House of Commons Gives
The Government Pienary
Power.

London.-The House of Commons
gave the government authority to take
over the control of the country's entire
engineering trade and to place 1t un
der a combined management for the
purpose of increasing the output OF
war munitions.
The defense Of the real act, passed
at the outbreak of the war, gave the
government power to control works
where war materials actually were be-
ing made. David yd-George, chan
cellor of the exchequer, on behalf OF
the government, asked that the con-
troll Of manufactures be extended to
works capable OF being used for that
purpose.
This power was unanimously grant
cd, although Andrew Bonar Law, op
position leader, described the measure
as probably the most drastic ever laid
before Parliament"
This step on the part of the govern
ment came as complete surprise, al
though Mr.. Lloyd-George in a speech
at Bangor last week emphasized the
Importance Of increasing the output of
war munitions, which labor disputes
had threatened to diminish. Now the
workers in the engineering trade will
be in the position of public servants
and the government hopes this fact
will impress them with the Importance
of keeping up the supplies. A bust
ness man will be given charge OF the
organization.
With the war area extending ana
the size OF the army and navy con-
stantly increasing, the government
found that something must be done to
keep the fighting branches supplied
with arms and ammunition. The fleet
bombarding the Dardanelles alone is
using an immense quantity of ammu
milton.
The operations of this fleet, now re-
ported to have been REINFORCED by an
other battleship Of the Queen Eliza
beth type and which is known to In
clude more ships than mentioned in
dispatches, continue to occupy the
British people.

TRY TO BREAK RUSSIAN LINE
Bring Up Troops Which Have Been
Operating in Region Of
Grodno.

London.-Balked at other points, the
Germans are making another attempt
to break the Russian line in Northern
Poland. They are advancing from
Khorjele, on the East Prussian frontier
along the Orzyc river, and by the roads
leading southwark to Przasnysz. This
is one of the routes the Germans took
in their great drive from East Prussia
in February, which finally ended If
their defeat at Przasnysz.
For their new attempt they have
brought up troops which have been
operating in the region of Grodno and
some of the new army training since
the outbreak of the war.
The point selected for the attack
is the most favorable along the East
Prussian front. The splendid railway
system can bring troops and their sup
plies to the border and good roads
lead to Przasnysz.
A battle of almost equal importance
is in progress farther north, in the
region of Suwalki, where the Russians
have pressed the Germans back to
their own border.
The Russians appear to have coun-
tered successfully the German Often
sive on the Pilica river. and in the
Carpathians they are withstanding
continued attacks along the whole
front.

Washington.-New and urgent rep

Diplomatists familiar with the con-

President Wilson, Secretary Bryan
and Counsellor Lansing, was guarded
with secrecy pending some word from
Carranza and to his attitude.

FIGHTING IN EAST AND WEST
Battle Which Had Promised to De.
velop on the PiIica River Seems to
Have Died Down.

London.-In the east and the west
fighting between the Germans and the
allies continues. The Russians claim
another victory in the region Of Au-
gustowo, in North Poland, short dis
lance from the East Prussian frontier,
which threatens to break communica-
ton between the Germans near the
Lower Niemen and those before Osso-
wetz.
In Central Poland the battle which
had promised to develop on the Pilica
river seems to have died down, owing,
as Petrograd puts it, to the Russians
being too strong for the Germans, who
were forced to abandon their offensive
and fall back under Russian counter
attack.

SUPPLIES NOT SENT AWAY
carranza Denies That Food Has Been
Held, or That Con. Oregon Sent
Food Away.

Washington-Gen. Carranza has
made q preliminary reply to the new
American representations. denying
generally the existence Of conditions
in Mexico City, which the United
States called on him to improve.
In a statement, made orally to
American Consul Silliman at Vera
Cruz, which was laid before Presi-
dent Wilson and the cabinet, the Mex
lean chief denied that Gen. Obregon,
his commander in Mexico City, had
prevented food reaching the Mexican
capital, or that he had sent supplies
away.
CarranZa's oral statement was TAX
en- in official quarters to forecast the
tenor Of his formal answer now be-
ing drafted. 1t generally was regarded
in administration quarters as favor
able, and as an indication that Carran-
"a would no longer approve any incon-
venience to foreigners. Meanwhile,
however, orders went forward to Rear
Admiral Fletcher, commanding the At
lantic feet at Guantanamo, to send
two more battleships to Vera Cruz.
Carranza promised an early formal
reply, Mr.. Silliman reported. Eliseo
Arredondo, hitherto Washington rep
resentative of Carranza, and other ad-
visers, were present during the confer
ence. Mr.. Silliman reported at length.
but officials did not disclose the con-
tents of his message,
Admiral Fletcher selected the ar
mored cruiser Washington, now in
Haitien waters with Rear Admiral Ca
perton, and the battleship Georgia,
commanded by Capt. Robert r. Coontz,
now at Guantanamo.
No request had come from any for
eign government, the president said,
for action by the United States in
Mexico, although diplomatic represent
atives of two foreign countries had
expressed their anxiety over affairs in
the southern republic.
Secretary Bryan announced that the
food situation in Mexico City con-
tinued serious and that Gen. Obregon's
force appeared not to have evacuated
the city, though this was expected at
any moment.
He said nothing definite had reached
the state department as to the reply
Gen. Carranza is preparing to the
American note demanding an improve
ment in conditions for foreigners.
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British
ambassador, brought to the depart
ment a copy of telegram from
Thomas Hohler, charge d'affaires of
the British legation in Mexico City,

of which had been presented to Gen.

livery to Gen. Carranza, has produced

bardment of the Dardanelles on the

Lie AT VERA CRUZ.

Express the Hope That Americans and
Other Foreigners viii Lose No

guilty Is Restored.

Vera Cruz.-Gen. Carranza, in an
swer to the protest addressed to hin
by Secretary of State Bryan has ad
dressed a reply to President Wilson
He denied responsibility of the con
stitutionalists for the situation, bu
expressed hope that Americans ant
other foreigners will lose no time II
departing from Mexico until tranquil
fly shall be restored.
The constitutionalist chief pledge:
himself to provide every facility fol
the exodus he recommends. He sug
gests that if foreign residents do moi
desire to leave the country they SHOULD
seek safer places in the republic. Gen
CarranZa declares that he always has
tried to safeguard the interests Of
Americans and other foreigners and in
tends to continue this course.
The charges that Gen. Obregon de
liberately fostered disturbances In
Mexico City are denied by Carranza
who declares every possible effort has
been made to distribute food supplies
He contends that the present situa
ton has been aggravated by the con
duct of merchants who have protested
against the imposition of humanita
rian relief tax.
The reply, in part, says:
"In faces of the charges expressed
by the international committee in its
complaint to the state department,
point you to the fact that Gen. Obre
gon has been in the possession of the
City of Mexico since January 26 until
now without mobs, assassinations, loot
ings or any other of the outrages
which are apt to occur and which fire.
Quently occur in times Of war
During all this time large amounts
of food supplies have been taken into
Mexico City and large quantities of
supplies have been distributed among
the distressed people.
while it is proper to state as to
evacuation that the right to occupy
or to evacuate Mexico City or any
other place in the republic, must at
all times be reserved, the obligation
on the constitutionalist army to safe
guard the lives of foreigners is fully
understood and realized. You will
therefore permit me to assure you that
at the time Of the evacuation Of Mex
leo City every facility within my power
will be afforded to all foreign residents
in that city to depart the country or
to go to other and safer places of the
