from the loss Of the Frencth battle
ship Bouvet and the British battle
ships Irresistible and Ocean, no serl-
Gus casualties had been suffered by
the allied fleet.
Dispatches to the admiralty early
today indicated that forts Kilid Bahr
and Chanak, guarding the Dardanel-
les narrows, were heavily damaged
before the .Anglo-French feet with
drew.
Ii is reported from Athens that
part Of the fleet has re-entered the
strait and that the shelling OF the
1arrows forts has been resumed.
The renewal of the bombardment,

Admiral Garden in command, met

MRS. BRAGER'S SUIT Up
She Claims Over 100000 Of Jos.
Cricdenwald Estate

Baltimore, March 20--The suit Of
Mrs. Blema Brager, wife of Albert A.
Brager, to recover balance alleged
TO be due her Of her share Of the
$4,OOO,00O estate Of her father. the
late Joseph Friedenwald, president OF
the Grown Corn and Seal Company,
vas placed on trial yesterday before
Judge Duffy and jury. in the Su-
perior Court. Altogether Mrs. Bra
ger received $l20,000 as her share Of
the estate. but she alleges that she
was induced to do by miSrepresenta-
tons made her by her brothers and
sisters. Her share, it is alleged, vas
valued at more than 100000.
As outlined in the bill Of complaint
and in the opening statement Of At
torney Marbury, the case for Mrs.
Brager is as follows: Her father
died December "a, 1910, more than
five years after his wife, and leaving
II children and three grandchildren,
children of deceased daughter. The
latest will of Mr.. Friedenwald was
dated December II, 1910. 1t only left
Mrs. Brager $4,000. When Mrs.
Brager was about to notify her broth
crs and sisters that she would contest
the will they began negotiations
with her 70 buy her share Of the es-
tate.
Through the false representation,
it is alleged, that her father had made
an earlier and valid will disinheriting
her and that this will would become
operative if the will of 1910 was set
aside. Mrs. Brager was induced to
sell her share Of the estate for $780,
600. or $4,000 more than the will
gave her. The earlier will was made
April "a, 1909.
a caveat to the 1910 will was # led
by Moses Stern Friedenwald andL' il
was set aside. Then the will Of 100:
was set aside without contest. Sub.
sequentIy Mrs. Brager began negotia,
tions for larger share of the estate
and was given $4,000 more, tota
of s120,00O. This rs not half what
she is entitled to, she alleges.

Declare European Waters
and Mediterranean a
War Zone
PROTESTS OF THE U. S.
Objections VIII be Made to Interfer.
ence With American Commerce en-
Route to Neutral Ports.

Washington, March 20-The Ang.
.lo-French contention that the allies
have the right to declare "Euroepan
waters and the Mediterranean a
blockade zone may be accepted in
principle by the United States.
But this Government will insist
that the blockade be directed only
against cargoes and vessels intend
ed for German ports. Strenuous OBJ
jections will be made to interference
with American commerce en- foute to
or from neutral ports,
That much already has been de-
cidcd on by the President and his
advisors. Following a series Of con-
ferences between Robert Lansing,
Counsellor of the State Department.;
Rear Admiral Fisk, and Captains
Oliver and Knapp, the latter three
being experts on naval law, it has
about been decided that under modern
conditions a blockade may be dec
Jared for any area that the blockad-
ing nations have warships to police
the zone claimed.
The United States, however will
suggest that the allies define en-
actly their radius of activity. This
would save neutrals embarrassment
as they would know that only with
in its limits would their vessels be
in danger Of being detained.
Meanwhile. American commerce
has seriously suffered already. Since
the announcement by England that
the blockade was to be enforced. very
few shipments of cotton have gone
forward.
And most of the coast ships,
drafted into service to carry goods
across the ocean have now been
shunted back to their regular runs.
Officials refused to estimate the eX-
act losses sustained, but they pointed
out that the war risk Insurance,
which has been ,insuring overseas
cargoes, is now doing very little bust
ness.
