ChurchilPs Warning on German
Fleet Arouses London Papers.
Some Support Him

LONDON, March S--Matters of vast
importance with regard to the British fleet
and Nthe anticipated clash with Germany's
great warships In the North Sea were dis
cussed today at a meeting, of the War
Council.
Lord Fisher. formerly first sea lord. at
tended the session. It was the first time
he was called to formal meeting of the
council, but 1t was stated that the invita-
tiOn sent him antedated the proposal made
by Winston Spencer Churchill in the
House of Commons yesterday that the
famous sea warrior be given a high post
in the Government.
Churchill's warning that the Kaiser's
fleet will make dash Is commented on
at length by the London papers today
Those which have opposed the present
Government declare that the warning
must be needed and that nothing be left
undone to insure victory for England
Government organs, on the contrary
assail Churchill bitterly, suggesting that
he wishes to return to the Cabinet. and
that he is willing to wreck the Govern.
ment in order to satisfy his personal
ambitions.
They fatty deny Churchil's intIma-
tions that the Admiralty. under the leader
ship of Arthur j. Balfour, has neglected
\ to take the necessary precautions against
the German fleet,

The War Todau

Heavy artillery fighting con-
tinues on both banks of the Meuse.
The situation on the Verdun north
ern front remains unchanged. The
cannonade was especially violent
northwest of Verdun, on the west
bank of the Meuse, where the Ger
mans are believed to be preparing
for an attempt to capture Goose
Hill and Dead Man Hill.
In the Cham agne, east of
Maison de Champagne, the French
have recaptured trenches taken by
the enemy on March 6. They took
SO prisoners.
Italy has strengthened its forces
at Valona and has appointed a
new commander for the expedition
ary army. These moves anticipate
an expected sweep of Albania by
the Austro-H -Hungarians.
Reports printed in London and
Rome declare that revolution has
broken out in Constantinople. The
revolt was fomented by anti-Ger-
man riots. Enver Pasha. the vir-
tual military dictator of Turkey, is
reported dead; one story says he
was assassinated, another that he
died from wounds received in
street riot.
Constantinople reports that the
British relief column has been un-
successful in its progress to Kut-
el-Amara. Other advices report
British advance in Mesopotamia
and Russian advance in Persia.
The Austro-Hungarians in Ca
licia have won 1000 yards of
trenches at Tarnapol from the Rus
slams, who have been active in this
zone for two months. At Karpilo-
seka the Archduke Joseph Ferdi-
nand's men have driven the enemy
out of entrenched positions and
lodged themselves in the sector
gained.

The coal and freight situation in the town is rapidly assuming serious pro- portions. The supply of the former is decreasing so fast that from present indications it will be entirely gone within a very short time In order to keep the bins of his many customers partly filled, George Baldwin, the Ken sington coal merchant, is selling and delivering only in quarter ton lots, He received his first carload in three months yesterday and it has been on the road since December A. Accord ing to MT. Baldwin, the prospect of receiving any more in the near future Is very uncertain and he warns the housekeepers to husband their supply as much as possible. M. D. Stanley reports stock entirely exhausted He has orders~in for several cars but the mine people are unable to fill them on account of the scarcity of cars.
 Unless something is done to ale viate the freight situation there is a possibility of the local factories shut ting down, it is said. The American Paper Goods company has received only one car of paper in the last two weeks. The officers are keeping the wires and mails hot, trying to ascer- tain when they may expect more but the ony reply is your shipments are on the road" At the Berlin Con- Btruction company this morning Charles Husted, assistant treasurer, said ''We are experiencing difficulty in obtaining coal and raw material on account of the freight embargo. We have a number of orders on hand and are busy"
 The local freight yards are con gested with cars, the Berlin, East Berlin and Rocky Hill districts being filled with loads consigned to Hart ford. Merchants are finding difTicult to get new stock in, one of them re- porting this morning that there is not a bag of charcoal in town. There was rumor current about town today that the owners of wooded 'Nrd3 are considering the advisa biIit1 t5 cutting the timber up and selling t for fire wood. The matter has become acute and it will be we'll for the townspeo- Die to make the supply they have or hand go as far as possible.
