IMPORTANT
MANEUVERS BY
THE RUSSIANS

Petrosrad Via London. March 30)
The Russian offensive maneuvers
along the Dvinsk- Riga front, although
apparently local in character and un-
important as compared with more
spectacular movements which have
marked those on the eastern front
have already rendered the carefully
constructed position of Field Marshal
Won Hihdenburg less secure and will,
it is thought here, determine the course
of the coming spring campaign.
The fighting has now developed
from isolated encounters along ten
mile front to general engagement ex-
tending more than 35 miles along the
lines. German forces which were be-
ing rushed to this front instead of
taking part in an advance believed to
have been intended by the Germans,
are occupied in defending the positions
and it appears to observers here that
Field Marshal Won Hindenbu@'s spring
campaign will be defensive rather than
the offensive one which was expected.
Since the first blows struck by the
Russians along the northern sector, the
Russian situation has continually i'm
proved and the heights which they now
command along the left bank of the
Dvina and their successful operations
in the Riga district are considered a
solid foundation for farther advance
as soon as the spring thaw is over and
the ground becomes firm.

CARGO OWNERS
MUST SHOW PROOF
GOOD INTENTIONS
British Council to Issue New Or
der for Capture of Vessels
with Conditional COntraband
Cargo Destined to NOn.bl0ck.
AIDED Port

London, March 30.-S.51 P. M.-An
order n-council will be issued tonight
whereby neither a vessel nor her car
go shall be immune from capture for
a breach of blockade upon the sole
ground that she at the moment Is on
her way to a non-blockaded port"
The order sets forth that, subject to
certain notifications and omissions
the government has put in force the
declaration Of London respecting the
capture Of merchant craft during the
war. Certain doubts, however, have
arisen concerning the right to effect
"the capture of conditional contraband
on board a vessel bound to a neutral
end to" and it has been decided no
longer to adopt Article 10 of the dec
laration, which provides that what
ever may be the ultimate destination
Of a vessel or of her cargo she cannot
be captured for breach of blockade. if
at the moment she is on her way to a
non -blockaded port.
1t is therefore ordered that the pro-
visions of the Declaration Of London
.Snall De deemed TO limit or 10 nave
limited in any way the right of His
Majesty in accordance with the law OF
nations to capture goods upon the
ground that they are conditional con-
traband. nor to affeffct or to have af-
fected; the liability of conditional con-
traband to capture, whether the car
riage Of the goods to their destination
is direct or entail trans shipment or
subsequent transport by land."*'
This provision is made applicable
also to absolute contraband.
Another clause says that enemy des-
tination may be presumed to exist if
the goods are consigned to a person
who, during the recent hostilities, has
forwarded imported contraband goods
to territories belonging to or occupied
by the enemy"
The order further says that 1T shall
lie upon the owners of goods to prove
that their destination was innocent
The order in council is to be effec-
tive from March 80.

PHILBRook BIBLE CLASS
Gives Enjoyable Social-R, G. c,,..
man Lectures on Panama Canal

Inc social evening given by the pbu.
brook Bible class of the Winthron strs.,
Baptist church was one of the most :.
structive entertainments which has hss,
given in a church here for some t,,o
The feature of the evening was lectur,
on the Panama canal by r. G. Goodman
who has lived in the canal zone and
knows the subject very thoroughly uo
gave a highly graphic account of III.
early French attempts at building "a.
nal and then told of the secession of Pan.
anna from Columbia. which enabled m.
United States to make ARRANGEMENTS for
the building of the canal. He said ,b,,
! the failure of the French was due in mar,
to the fact that they tried to build sea
level canal. and partly because of craft
and mismanagement. In regard to the
graft involved he stated that when the
American engineers took over the French
property they found 10000 snow shovels
among the implements. He then told Of
the work which was done in 1904 in san.
itation by Colonel Gorgas. who STAMPED
out yellow fever and did much to prey.,,
| malaria. and said that without him there
would be no canal.
He stated that Colon and Panama, ths
two principal cities. are among the most
cosmopolitan of the world and that tho
call of the tropics is very strong, he and
Mrs. Goodman often wanting to so back
Speaking of the rainfall of the country
he said that our average here is 10 inches
per year. and that in Panama they often
got 5S in month. One of the significant
things he said was that the reason the
United States gets so little South Amer.
can trade is that Americans will not
adapt themselves and their goods to a
country. They try to adapt the country
to themselves.
The pictures illustrating this lecture an
the property of Mr.. Goodman and are
illustrative of the trip from New York to
Panama and of the canal zone as a whole.
They are very fine and extremely inter.
esting. Among other things. Mr., Good.
man said that he took the Lyric quartet,
which was here last winter. to the first
and only hanging ever performed in the
canal zone. He also told of Y. NJ. c. A.
work In the zone and stated that he had
been swimming In the Atlantic and Pa
cific oceans the same day. He is an ex'
cellent lecturer and was appreciated very
much.

FALLS 30 FEET FROM
TREE AT YARMOUTH

Yarmouth, Me-, March 3O-Falling 80
feet from the branches of big tree, Ar
thur NJ. Grant. %, of Yarmouth, this
forenoon sustained serious if not danger
Gus injuries. He was rushed to the Maine
General hospital in Portland and the ply
sicians there had not determined this aft
ernoon whether or not Grant had sus-
tanned internal injuries. His condition
was not believed to be critical.
Grant was trimming out the branches
in a high tree located at the rear of the
residence of DR.. Georg S. Bates, prepara-
tory to telling the tree. In some way
he slipped and fell 80 feet. striking on a
fence. He attributed his slipping to the
fact that a lame hip with which he had
trouble gave out while he was climbing.
1t was at first thought that he had
sustained fracture of the right leg az
the knee joint. The hospital physicians
after their first examinations expressed
the belief, however, that this injury was
not fracture but a bad wound caused
by some object, they could not determine
what, becoming embedded in the flesh
An X-ray photograph to be taken this
afternoon will show just WHAT is the
trouble.
The injured mans face was badly torn
when he struck the fence and there was
cash near the mouth and another over
the left eye.
Grant was given first aid in the resi-
dence of DR.. Bates and was then taken
to the hospital. Besides the injuries de-
scribed he was very badly shaken up and
internal injuries are feared.
The injured man is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William NJ Grant of Yarmouth.

HOLDING Up BIG
GUN FOR BRITISH

London, March 30.-During a discussion
of the Clyde strike in the House Of Com
mons tonight, David Lloyd George, the
munitions minister, declared that the big
gun which the army wanted had been
held up in all it's stages of manufacture
and the strikers were holding up most
important guns needed by the army.
Long discussions on the subject Of tn :
strike took place in the House of Com
mons today. They were mainly concern
ed in an. endeavor to shift the RESPONSE
bility for the strike which had been de-
nounced alike by the general public and
the responsible labor leaders.
Mr.. Lloyd George. said that it would
be impossible to negotiate with men who
were defying the law. 1t was in the cours.
of a warm defence of Dr., Christopher
Addison. parliamentary secretary of the
munitions department.. who was accused
Of thus breaking off negotiations, that
Mr.. Lloyd George startled the house by
declaring that the strikers were holding
up the big guns.
Mr.. Pringie. who had placed all the
blame on the obstinacy of the ministry
of munitions, fatty denied that there was
any such reasonable conspiracy as had
been alleged.
Late tonight it was announced at Glas-
gov that an important development had
occurred promising the immediate collapse
Of the strike.

EMbALMER kane DENIES HE WAS
TO TESTIFY FLUID USED ON THE
BODY OF PECK CARRIED ARSENIC
Authorities State However, that Kane Admitted He Received
$4,000 Cash Check $4,000 Arthur Waite

New York, March 3O.-Eugene Oliver
Kane. who embalmed the body of John
E. Peck for whose murder DR.. Arthur
Waite is under arrest here, went to
District Attorney Swann's office to-
day and denied he ever had any in
tention of testifying that the embalm-
ing fluid used on Peck's body contain
ed arsenic as Waite is said by Mr..
Swami to have alleged.
Kane admitted, however, it was
said. that he had recei> ed $4,000 in cash
and check for $4,000 from Waite which
the young dentist has said was to be
in exchange for swearing that there
was arsenic in the fluid and placing
the poison in sample to be delivered
to Mr.. Swami. According to the en-
balmer's story, the money was virtual
ly forced on him. Kane was accompa-
MED by his counsel and although an
order for his arrest has been issued,
he was allowed to remain at liberty in
the custody of his attorney.
Kane said he was sent to Waite by
John Skotter. the undertaken, who
had charge Of Peck's funeral, and who
told him Waite wished to ask him
about the embalming fluid. At Waite's
solicitation he met the dentist in a
garage where he said Waite asked him
II he could put arsenic in a sample
of embalming fluid for the district at
torney Kane replied it could be done,
but 1t was against the law. Waite then
offered him a check for $4,000, which he
said he did not want. but he did not
return it, Waite. he said. promised to
make him comfortable for life"
Less than two hours later he met
Waite in cigar store by appointment
