CONSTANT|NOPLE
NOW IN BALANCE
THEY SEE BRITISH TORPEDO
BOAT COMBAT WITH GER
MAN SUBMARINE.

NEW YORK, March 20-Passengers
aboard the British steamer Lapland
which reached here today from Liv-
erpool. witnessed a battle in the Irish
channel between a British torpedo
boat which escorted the Lapland and
Ia German submarine. The Lapland,
crowding on all steam, fled in a zig
gag line from the combatants.
The Lapland joined her escort just
outside Liverpool harbor They were
not far from Liverpool when the tor
pedo boat opened fire.
The raider fired torpedo at
another vessel. Lapland passengers
watched the progress of the missile
through the water, and say it went
wide of ts.'target. No torpedo was
discharged at the Lapland so far as
could be learned.
Meantime the torpedo boats guns
quickened their fire The Lapland's
captain ordered full speed ahead. To
afford the submarine poor target
the LapIand was stored at intervals
abruptly to port and to starhoard
The steamer soon left the combatants
far behind
The Lapland carried 113 passen-
gers. IN the steerage were two
American boys. Harold and Howard
Hudson of Bridgeport, Conn, twins,
about Is years old, who, while attend
ing school near London enlisted in
the British army, giving false ages
and not mentioning their nationality.
Their parents obtained their release.

FIGHT WATCHED
BY PASSENGERS
RUSSIAN FLEET AT BOSPHORUS.
ALLIES ARE SMELLING THE
DARDANELLES

LONDON March 20.-With the Rus
sian Black sea fieet reported knock
ing at the eastern door of the BCs-
phorus and six British and French ba;-
tleships renewing their bombardment
at the western end of the Dardenelles,
London believes the fate OF Constan-
tinOple today is hanging in the bal
ance. Reports from Turkish sources
however, still profess supreme con-
fidence in the impregnability of the
defending forts which, it is claimed,
have successfully weathered a bonn
bardment extending over q days.
The admiralty's announcement of
the sinking of two British and one
French battleship is rather hazy as
to the results achieved by this sacri-
flee, giving weight TO the belief of
some that the straits will not be won
until naval operations are supported
on land.

sinking of the British battleships IT.
resistible and Ocean and the French
battleshiu Bouvet, ascribed by the
British admiralty to floating mines,
was due to torpedoes.
The Turkish positions on the main
land near Smyrna are being strength
ened by large reinforcements.
The new naval policy of the allies
now is in operation against Austria,
according to word which has reached
Rome. The Angyo-French fleet in the
Adriatic has been notified to prevent
transportation of all goods to or from
Austrian ports.
The Netherlands has sent formal
protest to France and Great Britain
against their new H. policy.
The British asr\ that in four
days of the fight. u at Neuve Cha
pelle the Germans lost 1900 or more
men disputed by the German staff
which places German losses at about
5000.
The French admiralty, while ex-
pressing hope that some members of
the crew of the battleship Bouvet
have been saved, confirms reports
from neutral sources that the French
battleship Gaulois also suffered Sc
verely in the battle of March 49, AL.
though Turkish officials reports mini
mize the effect of the bombardment,
dispatches from other near eastern
points say negotiations already have
been begun with the American en-
bassy to act an an intermediary to
save the Ottoman capital from the
guns of the allied warships.
RumOrs of the destruction of the
German sea raider Karlsruhe have
received some confirmation by the
guarded statements of the British ad-
miralty that there is every reason to
believe she was sunk in the West In
dies in November
Relative inaction prevails along
both battlefronts on land. Austrian
reports by way of Berlin claim the
Russian offensive movement in the
Carpathians through the Lupkow
Pass has failed, but direct reports
from both Vienna and Petrograd
agree that Austrians as well as Rus
sions are making attacks and coun-
ter-attacks in the Carpathians with.
out decisive results.
The Germans still are bombarding
Ossowetz without success, according
to the Russians, who claim to have
destroyed the advanced trenches Of

PETITION FILED
IN j. s. COURT BY
TRUSTEE BLAIR
"A REVIEW OF DECISION AS
TO JURISDICTION, RECENT
LYDEClDED, is NOW ASKED
FOR BY TRUSTEE.

] G. Blair, trustee appointed by the
United States court of Ohio in the Gar
yam naval stores case has, through his
attorneys, filed a motion with the
United States circuit court of nNn9ale
at New Orleansf or rchearing by
that tribunal of its decision rendered
few weeks ago in the case in which
the jurisdiction of the proceedings
was established, and in which the re-
ceivers were victorious over the trus-
tee
Notice of this step on the part of the
trustee was received in the city yes
terday by local attorneys, and occa-
stoned some little eurprse, as such a
step was not contemplated
The recent decision of the court of
appeals was the result Of long fight
for jurisdiction in the big case, the
receivers contending that the court of
the southern district of Georgia had
jurisdiction, while the trustee contend
ed that the company had heen placed
into bankruptcy, that he had been
named as trustee and Shout l admins
ter the affairs of the company. The
circuit court, however, upheld the con-
tention of the receivers. The case
was argued in New Orleans over a
month ago, Attorneys Max Is &C and
Millard Reese of this city, ap, airing
for the receivers, and King & .euld-
ing, of Atlanta, and Tracey, CHAIRMAN
& Wells, of Toledo, appearing for the
trustee.
The losers in the case, under the
law, have right to ask for a rehear-
ing if it is evident to them that the
decision is manifestly wrong The
circuit court however, has the right to
overrule this motion or if they be-
lieve that the trustee is right in his
position that the court has erred, then
rehearing will be ordered Just
what will be done, however, is not yet
known, but local attorneys will be no.

One of the contentious of the at
torneys in their motion for a rehear-

all creditors were entitled to be paid.

then whatever amount is left should
be turned over to the trustee. They
argue that only this company should
be paid in full. as it was the origi-
nators of the suit. Other contentious
are also made in the petition
The filing of this motion for a re-
hearing shows conclusively that the
faction in Toledo, known as the Owen
faction, has not given up their long
and hard fight for control of the as

Much Of the success Of the first

the borough appears to be due to the
energy displayed by Mrs. C. E Hills,
wife of the evangelist, who, with her
attractive manner of speech, is quite

greatly in demand. Yesterday after

in the Main Street Church of God.
This evening at 7.45 O'Clock she will
open the tabernacle service with we'll
prepared address and tomorrow after
noon at 2.30 O'Clock she will speak at
the same place on the subject, 'tThe
Value of Purity" This meeting will
be for women only, or girls over IA
years of age. ''First Things First -
was the subject used by Evangelist
Hills last evening. He said:
The saddest thing we find in life
is that so many people are putting un-
important things first. Everybody is
seeking something. Many men are seek
ing money first. 1t is all right to get
money if you get it honestly, but its
place is not first. God is first. Another
ure. This is all that many society
women are seeking. The sin of modern
society is something awful. You never
see real society women at revival or
at church.
MANY are seeking after fame and
notoriety. The Bible says we are to
seek first to be a Christian. Being a
Christian is having Christ live in you.
We should seek to be a Christian be-
cause of the shortness Of life. 1t be-
hooves every one to consider where he
shall spend eternity, in heaven or In
hell When you are asked to become
Christian do it, for if you don t after
