FLEET HAMMERS
THE DARDANELLES
Main Object of Attack Is to Release Russia's I'M
menSe Wheat SuppIy-Russia Announces Re-
pulse of German Attack in North Poland =
French Advance in West

LONDON, Feb. PA fleet composed
Of British and French warships continues
today TO hammer away at the doorway of
the Dardanclles, and the real necessity of
releasing the huge supply of wheat which
Russia has on the shores of the Black sea
causes the general belief that the present
attack on the Dardanelles fort is a serl-
ous undertaking and not merely meant for
demonstration.
Official announcement declares that after
the reduction Of the four outer Dardanelles
forts mine crccpcrs went to work within
the strait under protection of the guns of
the fleet, while unofficial dispatches from
Athens and Rome assert that at least one
French warship actually has penetrated
the passage.
Germany remains silent regarding her
share in the military operations both in
the east and west, while Austria Hungary
declares that Austrian and German forces
are holding their own in the Carpathians
and in eastern Galicia.
PetroRrad, less reticcut, announces Il re-
pulse of German attacks in North Poland
with heavy losses. As result of fighting
OF the past few days the Russian general
staff claims to have forced back the Ger
mans along front of - miles in the
Przasmysz region.
The impression is growing in England
that the German advance in East Prussia
is due mainly to political and economic
motives and consequently it is without
great strategic effect on the eastern cam
paign as a whole.
In the west the French continue tc
claim advances in the Champaign district
with quiet prevailing along the rest of tn,
line.

DISASTER TO SUBMARINE.
Wreckage Picked Up Near Christian
sand May Be From German U-9.

LONDON, Feb. 81. - Wreckage
picked up near Christiansand appears
to indicate a disaster to the German
submarine U-9.
The German submarine U-9 has play
ed an important part in the naval ac-
tivities of the war. 1t sank the British
cruisers Hogue, Aboukir and Cressy in
the North sea on Sept. % and eIuded
pursuit. On October % it sank the
British cruiser Hawk. Dutch steam
trawler reported November ] that il
had met the 10 in a disabled condition
off Haaks hghtship, near Helder, on the
north coast of Holland. Its trouble
had been caused by becoming entan-
gled with fishing nets. There have
been no reports regarding the U-9 since
that date.

NO SPECIAL SESSION
FOR THE u. S. SENATE
Action Not Expected by President on
the Colombia and Nicaragua
Treaties.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-Presiden;
Wilson has practically decided not TO
call a special session of the senate to
consider the Columbia and Nicaragua
treaties. At the White House today
it was said that while the question
still was under consideration there were
little prospects of special session be-
ing called.
The opposition of some Republican
senators makes it improbable that any
action on the treaty can be taken dur
ing the present session.
The President expects. that at least
some of his nominees for the federal
trade commission will be confirmed be
fore March 1. Any not confirmed are
expected to get recess appointments.
