GERMAN CANNON
MOUNTED ON RAILS
This Explains Firing from Certain
Dardanelles Forts Thought to Have
Been Destroyed.

PARIS, March %, p. IN. - A gale
blew through the DardaneIles yester-
day and the allied warships did not
leave their anchorages, says a Havas
despatch from Athens. The crews on
the vessels of the fleet are eager to Get
into action. 1t seems certain that sew
.eral of the Dardanelles forts are still
capable of offering a stubborn resist
ance.
y number of Turkish field batteries
have been posted along the straits and
German cannon have been mounted OF
rails so that they can be moved quick
lly to threatened points. This is sup
posed to explain the firing from certain
ports, which were thought to have beer
| destroyed.

NO AMERICAN REPLY.
Note to Great Britain and France on
Embargo Not Formulated.

WASHINGTON, March % - Presi-
dent Wilson said today that the Ameri-
can government s reply to the deelara-
tion by Great Britain and France of an
embargo on commercial intercourse be
tween Germany and neutral countries
he declined to give any intimation of
its character.
The President pointed out that the
American government s suggestions
were entirely informal, that the United
States had no right to ask two belliger

themselves, but thought that as NOR
al obligation it should suggest means
| by which Germany and Great Britain
could come to an agreement if they De
sired ON maritime questions.

Washington. Dec. 23.-The United
States will pay off It's $4,000, 000, 900
international commercial debt in less
than three years if we continue to ex-
port and import at the present rate,
according to Assistant Secretary of
Commerce Edwin F. Sweet.
We have paid off more than one
sixth of our European Indebtedness
since the first of January, 1916,
said Mr.. Sweet, and indications are
that we will have rolled up net IA
vorabIe balance of nearly $4,000, o00.-
600 before the end of the present
calendar year.
THE excess of exports over i'm
ports for October, we have estimated,
was approximately $200,0000O0 This
brings the net trade balance for the
first 10 months up TO more than 81
000 100000. We are continuously
shipping 4 very large amount of goods
to Europe, very much larger amount,
in fact, than we are importing, and
this will add a considerable amount to
our present net favorable balance be-
fore the end Of the present year"
IF the war were to continue and
we were to continue exporting at our
present rate, we would wipe out cur
commercial debt in four, or at the
most, five years. Even after the war
we may expect TO continue as cred
itor nation. We may be able even
then to wipe out our Indebtedness in
approximately 10 years. In making
this estimate | expect that our manu-
facturers and exporters will continue
their present good work and We will
continue to be a creditor nation. OF
course we must expect that Ameri-
cans will take much Of their profits
TO Europe when the tourist business
reyives again. but this, on the other
/ hand. will be Offset by the natural de
crease IN the interest payments which
we will have TO make to Europe, 8
decrease caused by the fact that oui
Indebtedness has been lessened dur
ing last few months"
