SMYRNA TO GIVE up?
COMMANDMENT OF TOWN BY Al.
LIED FLEET SUCCESSFUL.
AnsIo-French Warships Meeting With
Great Difficulties in Attack on
Dardanelles.
Rv hERRERT TEMPLE.

Interna tional News Service Correspondent
London, March 16.-While Tenedos
dispatches state that the surrendCC of
| Smyrna, which is being bombarded by
British warships, is imminent, adyices
from Athens indicate that the Anglo
French fleet attacking the Turkish
forts on the Dardanelles is meeting
with great difficulties.
Tie dispatches from Athens say
that the damage inflicted by the big
guns of the Turks on the ships of
the international feet has been greater
than official reports indicated. Tho
fact that the censor allowed publica-
ton of these advices is regarded as
significant.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Athens says that British aviators
made a reconnaissance over the PENN
sula of Gallipoli and ascertained that
the fire from the superdreadnaught
Queen Elizabeth had destroyed the
Turkish barracks at Gallipoli and
silenced two batteries on the inner
strait.
1t is reported from Saloniki that
Field Marshal Won der Goltz OF the
German army, who was sent to Turkey
to advise the Turkish general staff,
went to Smyrna to direct the defense
of the city when it was attacked by
the feet of Admiral Sir Richard Pierse.
While the attack was under way, this
report adds, the German officer disap-
peared. This led to rumors that he
had been killed. but more likely be-
lief is that he returned to Constan-
tinople. Smyrna has been badly bat
tered by the British warships and
section of the city has been destroyed.
The fire of the Turkish forts there
was methodical and accurate. giving
rise to the belief that the big guns
were being manned by trained artil-
lerymen from the Germany army.
Turkish advices say that every ship
attacking the Dardanelles forts was
struck by shells from the shore bat
teries and damaged.

International News Service Correspondent.
London, March l6.-Blockade of Ger
man ports was officially proclaimed by
to be taken are in retaliation for the
submarine warfare waged by Germany
upon merchant shipping of the allies.
The formal proclamation was fore
cast by the official announcement OF
Premier Asquith in parliament on
March /, that the British and French
governments will hold themselves free
to detain and take into port ships car
rying goods of presumed enemy des-
tination, ownership or origin"
The delay in issuing the formal proc.
lamation was due to negotiations be-
tween French and British officials as
to the exact form of the proclamation.
Blockade Is Tight.
"No merchant vessel which sailed
from ports of departure after March
L." says the proclamation, will be al
lowed TO proceed to any German port.
Unless it receives a pass enabling her
to proceed to a neutral or allied port
named in the pass the goods aboard
such a vessel must be discharged at a
British port and placed in the custody
of the prize court.
mo merchant vessel which sailed
from German port after March ! will
be allowed to proceed on her voyage
with goods laden in such port All
such goods must be discharged a; a
British or allied port.
Every merchant vessel which sailed
after March l to other than a German
port carrying goods of enemy destina-
ton or property may be required to
discharge those goods at a British or
allied port. Merchant vessels which
sail from other than a German port
having goods of enemy origin or prop
erty, may be required to discharge her
goods at British or allied port.
In order not to prevent relaxation
of its provisions with respect to mer-
chant vessels, any country which de-
clares no commerce is intended with
or originating in Germany, or belong
ing to German subjects, may enjoy
the protection OF its flag"
The proclamation was issued as an
"order-in-council." 1t is an amplifica-
ton of the statement of Premier AS
quith before parliament on March /.
Legal Aspect of Proclamation.
AS to the legal aspect under the
proclamation the decree says:
"All persons claiming an interest in
goods placed in the custody of a mar
shall of a prize court under this order
may forthwith issue a writ in the
prize court, applying for restoration.
ANY merchant vessel which cleared
for neutral port from a British or
allied port to which has been allowed
a pass, having a neutral port for it's
ostensible destination, and then pro-
ceeds to an enemy port shall, il cap
tured on a subsequent voyage, be
liable to condemnation. go
Nothing in this order can be deemed
TO affect the liability of any vessel or
cargo captured or condemned"

Protest Against Blockade PaVeS

CONFERENCE AT WHITE HOUSE
President and Cabinet Discuss Eng
lands Sea Decree-Joint Ac-
ton With Other Neutrais
Is Not Likely.

Washington, March 17.-After
meeting of the cabinet officials dis
closed that the United States will di'
rect the main force of its protest
against the British order in council to
those declarations by which it is
sought to control American and other
neU raj ships plying between neutral
ports, and which may be suspected
by Great Britain Of carrying goods
destined to Germany or originating in
Germany.
1t is declared by high officials here
that in order to make good even pre-
tense of right to such action and pol
icy as affecting neutral ports and neu-
trail ships, Great Britain should at
least establish blockade which
would meet the requirements of inter-
national law.
The state department will advise
Great Britain that her theory of JUS
tifying interference with neutral ships
70 neutral ports and in fact to any
port except as to actual cOntraband of
war, cannot be defended under inter-
national law. She is to be told that
I her order in council is defective be-
cause no matter what her collateral
explanations may be, Great Britain
and France have not declared a for
nal blockade of ports in German ter
ritory.
Decide War Is War"
The Illuminating statement, how
ever, was made that the United States
does not expect to achieve any ad-
vance to American shipping by our
staten 3nts to the allies.
Tie International News service cor
respondents informant said:
I'VE have concluded that war is
war The substantial benefit to us of
all our protests from the time of the
seizure of the John d. Rockefeller and
the Brindilla to the present protest,
will be that we shall have put our
selves in position to make legal claim
I tOr indemnities against the allies. 1t
may be that settlements will not be
| had till after the war"
| All the questions involved in the or
! der we're discussed at the cabinet
meeting. The president had before
him the text of the order as sent here
officially by Ambassador Page, and
also a note from Great Britain in
which she "eXplains' the order.
Word "BIockade" Not Used.
The original text differs in some re-
speCts from the press text, but it is
certain that the word blockade" does
not appear in the official text
In the explanatory note Great Brit
ain refers to the effect of her order as
that of "a modified blockade" The
fact that Great Britain admits that it
is only modified blockade is regard
ed as in effect an admission that she
is acting without the warrant of es-
tablished precedent.
Cannot Act Jointly.
The opinion of the state department
is that the United States could not
enter into ANY joint action" with
European powers on the subject.
