the first lord of the admiralty in the heat of the moment, may have said things which he likely will regret later.
 The Daily Telegraph which thinks both MT. Balfour and Colonel Church. ill were in bad form and causing the country great harm, says:
 "Mr Balfour is apt to speak. in haste and repent at leisure He ad- mittcd that the completion of dread naughts had been delayed and assert ed that this was due to actions of Churchill. He revealed that a num- her Of the guns of monitors came from America and stated that cer- tain of ChurcEill's ships are so faulty hat they are unusuable. These are grave statements and we regret both the attack which prompted them and the detailed nature of Mir Balfour's reply. We believe that the nation not only will not approve, but will be gravely disquieted by the whole in cident.
 Though Admiral Lord Fishers name has been banded about, We trust that he will maintain silence This is not the time for charges and counter charges and Admiral Fisher at least has a clean record in that respect. We must have an end of such scenes as were witnessed We'd nesday and close up our ranks, en- deavoring by energetic action to rob the enemy of the benefit he might derive from the serious revelations l. hich have been made"

Russians Capture Riga

PETROGRAD, March S.-(Via Lon donD Russian troops have captured the town of RiZa (Rizeh) on the Black Sea, g. miles east of TrebiZoni. This announcement is made in the official statement issued from general head quarters, which adds that the Rus sians have also occupied the town of Selma, north of Kermanshah, in Per sia
 The activity of Russian torpedo boats in the Black Sea against coast towns east of Trebizond is continuing with success. According to recent dispatches from Sebastopol the Turk ish coast defences are crumbling be- fore the intensity of the Russian bonn bardment.
 There apparently is a growing dis position on the part of the Turks along the Anatonisn shore to sur render without fighting. In many cases according to reports received here, the Turkish population have sent out emissaries in boats to the Russian fleet offering submission to Russia. Russian cruisers continue to lombard Trebizond.
 Rurcors of Turkeys willingness to enter into peace negotiations with Russia are increasingly current here. but there is no official confirmation that Turkey has up to the present time made actual overtures to the Russian government.
