London Believes That Big
Naval Battle Is Impending;
Hundreds of Mines Placed

London, March 9.-The report that
a German fleet of 20 warships has
sailed from the Kiel Canal and is now
in the North Sea is unquestionably
accurate, a high naval authority stated
and it is now believed that a big
naval battle is impending.
Speculation is rife here as to the pur-
pose of the dash of the German fleet
from its hiding place. one opinion is
that the sortie is an attempt to create
diversion and draw attention fom the
larger fleet, while another is that it
is to protect the escape of as many as
a score of commerce raiders to the
high seas to emulate the spectacular
Moewe.
A majority of officials and experts,
however. seem to think that the fleet
is merely engaged in reconnoitering
as a prelude to huge naval battle.
one feat already accomplished by
the Germans. it was learned tonight,
is the mining of the English Channel
and parts of the North Sea more ef-
fectively than those waters have been
mined since the outbreak of the war.
Great quantities of mines have been
reported along trade routes, those of
neutral countries not having been eX-
cepted.
As a result of the new menace to
navigation it is believed here that the
trade of Holland will be seriously af-
fected and that some countries may
eventually be forced to cease the ship
ment of merchandise owing to the
enormous quantities of explosives
lurking beneath the surface of the
sea.
A high official here to-day declared
the Germans contemplated a block
ade of neutral countries as part of
their new submarine campaign and
that these mining revelations prove it.
At all events, he declared, whatever
the effect Of these mines was on the
commerce of Holland, it would Sc
riously impair the work of the Belgian

Austrian DreadnGughts
Preparing to Force Allied
Blockade of the Adiatic

Rome, March .. - Two of the most
powerful of Austria's dreadnaughts
are being prepared in a Dalmatian
port, the Tribuna says, with the inten-
tion of repeating the exploit of the
former German vessels Goeben and
Breslau and forcing the allies block
ade of the Adriatic, in order to reach
the Dardanelles and bring assistance
to Turkey in the Black Sea, as the
situation of the latter is growing des-
perate, owing to the Russian naval
supremacy in those waters.
For this reason, the newspaper
adds, the floating mines which OBJ
structed the Dardanelles have been
swept up by the Turks and the Ger
mans in order to clear a way for the
Austrian battleships which are ex-
pected.

AMELIA r. LONG.
AS great piece of machinery, with
its intricate parts and seemingly inn
possible mechanical combinations,
works together as cooperative
whole and responds to the master
touch-slowly at first, then faster and
faster until its power is irresistible
and everything is swept before it, so
in analogy is the great movement set
in motion by Marjorie Sterrett, the
Brooklyn school girl. whose patriotic
enthusiasm made possible the starting
of an ever-growing fund for the erec-
tion of huge battleship that shall
be part of the strength to keep
America inviolable before the world.
1t takes a lot of dimes to make a
million dollars and with the present
population of the United States prac-
tlcally every man, woman and child
in the country would have to con-
tribute his or her ten cent piece. For
tunately this is not necessary, because
some are good enough to give the
share of others. and the almost in
conceivable enormity of the propect
is what makes il so attractive to the
American mind To overcome the
seemingly impossible is what America
strives for. but this is probably the
first time in the history of the coun-
try that an attempt has ever been
made with prospect of success to in
terest every individual in the coun-
try and urge them to do their part
in concrete contribution. It's a big
order, but it can be done, and it is the
school children upon whom the news
papers want to depend to do it. It
will not do for us to sit back and
imagine that thing like this will
happen of itself.
You can show your interest by do
ing one of three things:. Give your
dime, quarter or dollar. either in per-
son or by mail to the Telegraph office;
urge others TO follow your lead and
help swell the fund; or actually col
lect from whomever you see what
