INCREASED OUT PUT OF WAR MUNITIONS GIVES ENGLAND
 GREATER CONFIDENCE.
SUBMARINESNEAR HELGOLAND
Troops Are Being Landed at the En- trance to the DardaneIles in Eu. rope and on the Coast of Asia Mnior.

London, April 22.-9:45 D. m.-Glow- ing accounts of the strength and con dition of the British army and of the great increase in the output of mum itious, which it s expected will next month amount to 9 times what it was ] last September, given by David Lloyd George, chancellor of the exchequer, and Harold J. Tennant, parliamentary secretary of the war office in the house of commons, have increased the enthusiasm and confidence of the peo. | pie of England in the war which they and their allies are Waging on the continents of Europe. Asia and Africa. Supplemcnting the statement of the chancellor that Great Britain has more than 36 divisions of troons on the continent, and that the output of munitions has been enormously in. creased, Nr Tennant today speaking on behalf of the secretary of war | Lord Kitchener. declared that recruit | ing had been most satisfactory and gratifying, that the health of the troops was splendid ana that the wounded were in the London hospi- tals 2l nours after they were stricken
 n France. He wished to impress upon the caountry tho necessity of in- creasing the supplies of artillery am. intuition. adding:
 There is no limit to the amount required"
 The frankness of the cabinet min. isters in making known the number of men at the front and the reports that reach London from various sources have convinced the people that al last the big efforts against Germany and Turkey is about to commence. Both in the Aegean and North seas there are signs of increasing activity. From today all steamboat communi- cation with Holland is stopped by or, der of the British government
 Taken in connection with the news from Berlin that British submarines have been in the Light of Helgoland where the German admiralty lays claim to having sunk one. and per haps more, this is believed to fore shadow some movement in the North sea. while there is no longer any en- deavor to hide the fact that a big An glo-French force is prepared to go as General d'Amade, the French com mander, has said, Ito any point where it is required
 A German report says that part of this force, which is under command of General Sir Ian Hamilton. has been landed at Enos, a Turkish town nsaT| the TurkoBulgarian border, on the northern side of the Gulf of Saros under the support of the allied fleet. At the same time there is news of transports loaded with troops passing the island of Lemnos, not far from the entrance to the Dardanelles. and of others being sighted off smyrna, on the coast of Asia Minor.
 This makes it uncertain wlere the| blow is to be struck. There are Anglo French troops in the Aegean sea, including Senegalese. who were transferred from France, and British "Tommies' from the outposts of the empire which. with the disappearance of the last German raiders, are con- sidered safe from attack.
 Further east, in Mesolotamla. thn| Turkish army, which was sent to bar the British advance from the head of the Persian gulf, after having suffered six thousand casualties, is in full re- treat, harassed not only by the British but by Arabs tribesmen, whom they had enlisted on their side and who, now that the Turks have been de. feated, have turned against them
 Nearer home the British are hold. ing tenaciOusly to Hill 60, near Ypres, which they captured recently from the Germans and which the Ger mans since have been trying to re- take. The French are pressing hard on the two sides of the German tri. angle in the Woevre
 The Russians, for their part, are, according to their accounts, repulsing repeated Austrian attacks on their positions to the southeast of Lupkow pass. in the Carpathians. and are holding their own against the Austro- German efforts on their Hanks near
