WAR SUPPLIES AT
 vLAD|VOSTOk

VLADIVOSTOK, March IA. - Con gestion of war supplies at Vladivos- tok continues to grow worse. At pre- sent there are twenty-eight steamers in the harbor or waiting in the bay to enter the harbor. Pier facilities are lacking to accommodate these steam CTS. The thermometer registers 20 degrees below zero, and the extreme temperature and ice are adding to the confusion. The cranes on the piers are not heavy enough to lift locomo- tives and other heavy weights, and consequently lighters must be utilized for this purpose. As there are only sufficient lighters to unload four steamers. the handling of locomotives is greatly delayed,
 Four hundred and fifty American locomotives were sold to Russia for use in speeding up war supplies, an1 so far less than fifty of these have been unloaded at Vladivostok. Ameri- can manufacturers are also sending twenty thousand steel cars to Vladi- vostok. Heavy floating cranes wefe brought from Japan to handle the war supplies, but it is almost impossible to move these in the ice, and they are of an old type not we'll adapted to the present work.

WOOLWICH, Eng, March 14. - Ten thousand boys, too young to fight. are doing what they consider the next best service for their country-turn- ing out munitions in the government arsenal here. In ordinary times many would have become office boys, clerks or telegraph messengers, but today the majority come from points miles from the factory and help the older men make the shells and guns needed by the men at the front.

WASHINGTON, March 13. - In ac- cordance with the expressed desire of President Wilson to expedite the vari- ous preparedness measures before Congress, the committee on rules of the House today appointed a sub-com- mittee to confer with Speaker Champ Clark on methods of side-tracking all other business after the passage of the bill repeating free sugar. If this can be done the House will immedi- ately enter upon consideration of the army bill, which has already been re- ported by the committee on military affairs.

TEE WILL. REPORT NAVAL
 BILLS

~ WASHINGTON, March IA. - Presi- dent Wilson today again conferred with the leaders in the House, and asked them to hurry the preparedness bills. He talked with Chairman Pad gett. of the House naval committee, and especially requested haste on the bills now being considered before that committee. Padgett assured the Pre- sident of his hearty support in the matter, and said that the hearings on the bills for increasing the navy would end within the next two weeks, and also asserted that the committee would act favorably on the bills for strengthening the sea service. The sentiment in the houses is strongly in favor of the navy bills, and when the committee reports there is no ques- tion but that the report will be adop- ted by large majority.

SIDES ARE IN ARTILLERY
 ENGAGEMENTS

PARIS, March 14. - The war office issued an official communique this morning to the effect that the chief activities along the fighting front north of Verdun was confined to ar tillery bombardments, both sides using their big guns. The artillery fire has slackened somewhat in most places, and last night was one of comparative quiet, with the exception of the line west of the Mouse river, where the cannonading was continuous and fair lv violent. A reconnaissance in force attempted by the Teutons in the Haudremont wood was easily checked, the enemy being forced to retire, leaving dead and wounded before the French positions. The fighting for Fort Vaux was not of the hand to hand nature that has been going on heretofore, no infantry attacks being attempted, the French maintaining their positions, and replying vigorous ly to a severe bombardment from the Germany artillery. The same situa- tion is reported in the plains of the Woevre, the infantry being inactive, although the men in the trenches were subjected to continual shell fire. In the Lapetre good, a fair sized detach- ment of Germans attempted to take some French positions by storm, but was repulsed, the French losses being slight. The military observers con tinue to express the utmost confidence in the ability of General Joffre to pre- vent the Germans from breaking through, and the public is reflecting the same condition of mind.

WASHINGTON, March IA. - Ex- President William Howard Taft, and six other former presidents of the Am erican Bar Association appeared be- fore the Senate subcommittee, which has been holding hearings on the ap- pointment of Louis D. Brandeis to the supreme court, and protested vigor- ously against the Presidents choice. Among the matter given to the com mittee was a letter signed by Talt and five of these ex-presidents of the American Bar Association, which stated positively that in their opinion Brandeis was not fit person to hold the exalted position of a place on the court made famous by John Marshal, and other noted American jurists.

SIGNAL L.ICH I 5 FOR ZEPPELIN
 RAIDS

LONDON. March IA. - Following the Zeppelin raid on the midland counties, this notice was posted in a Lincolnshire town:
 Tn future any person seen flashing a light or letting off any sort of rocket or firework when hostile aircraft are present, or expected, will be fired on without notice"
 So much fable has grown up around the Zeppelin raids that it is impossible to tell whether or not there is any basis of fact to the stories of spies communicating with the invaders by means of signal lights. After every raid a crop of stories appears about mysterious motor cars with a brilliant light concealed in the body. These stories are well youched for, but always come by hearsay.

 MAY 31

, WINNIPEG. March IA. - The pro-

Even this city, where the liquor men were supposed to be strongly entrenched, voted in favor of prohibition by big majority. The decision is a severe blow to the liquor interests, and means the practical destruction of an enor- nous capital now invested in saloons and liquor stocks.
