ENGLAND REPLIES
TO GERMANY'S NOTE
H" ON BARALONG CASE

London, March 1.-THE British re.
ply to the German note sent through
the American embassy at Berlin il
the middle of January, rejecting the.
British governments offer for an in
vestigation of the Baralong case, by
court composed of American naval
officers, and announcing Germanq's
in tention to adopt measures of re-
prisals, was issued tonight. 1t is for
transmission to Ambassador Gerard
at Berlin, through Walter Hines
Page, American ambassador at Lon.
don.
The Baralong, British patrol boat,
last fall sank German submarine
and allegations were made that men
from the 'Baralong afterwards killed
members of the German submarine
crew while they were in the water
or on board the American steamer,
Nicosian, which had picked them up.
The British government disclaims
any intention to further discuss it's
general charges of the inhumanity of
Germany's sea warfare, which it holds
have been amply proved

BOY FLED UPSTAIRS
BURNED TO DEATH
Kerosene Lamp Explodes When
Children Try TO Light 1'-'-
It..

AnamoOse, N. d., March News
has just reached this city of the fire
which occurred on the farm of John
Dockter, living about miles south
east of here. The farm house of this
party was burned to the ground on
Saturday evening, and a 7-year.old
son was burned to death in the build
ing. The fire resulted from an eX-
plosion of kerosene, which occurred
while two sons Of Mr.. DOckter, the
one that lost his life in the fire and
another, 9 years Of age, were attempt
ing to light a kerosene lamp. lmme-
diately after the explosion it appears
that the 7-year-old boy at once sought
refuge upstairs, and the fire spread
SO rapidly that the mother, who was
the only other person on the prem
ises at the time, was unable TO reach
the boy in the second story. Some
Of the charred bones of the little
fellow were found in the ruins of the
fire yesterday. The other boy was
also badly burned and the mother
was only able to eXtinguish the fire
on his clothes by throwing him into
water tank. The fire spread very
quickly and did it's work rapidly. Be-
fore help arrived the fire had done
most of its work.

Declares German Navy Has Been

London, March 1.-WinstOn Spen
Ger Churchill, former first lord Of the
admiralty, now colonel and fresh
from the trenches, sprang into the
parliament arena today in a daring
speech, answering First Lord of the
Admiralty Ealfour, who had just pre-.
sented the naval estimate, and de-
claring that the admiralty lacks driv-
ing force and must be revitalized be-
fore it is too late, by bringing back
Lord Fisher, the former first sea lord,
to head the admiralty administration.
Great interest attached to Col.
Churchill's temperance, after a Pc
riod of silence while serving with
the army The naval policy inaugu-
rated at the opening Of the war has
undergone considerable change.
Mr. lE'alfour had just concluded an
optimistic statement of the naval out
look, which strongly appealed to the
patriotic house Of commons, so that
Col. Churchilrs criticisms were coldly
received. But he gradually gathered
attention and applause until he clos,

SWEDEN NOW

Tampering With Her Trade Has
Caused Bitterness Toward
Allies.

New York, March THE deten.
tion of the steamship, Stockholm, OF
the recently organized Swedish Am

her last outward voyage from this
port served to create in Sweden a
pronounced German feeling, accord

Stockholm, on her second trip since
she was purchased by her present
owners.

ROOSEVELT IS
COMING BACK
'rreadwell Twichell, Back From
+ East, Declares Colonel Is
Gaining.

Fargo, N. d., March 7.-"Roosevelt
seems to be coming back"
That is the predominant thought
among politicians of the east and it
is the opinion that is expressed both
by them and business men generally.
'Treadwell Twichell, former speaker
of the house of representatives OF
North Dakota, who returned to Fargo
recently from an extensive east
ern trip, brings the foregoing view
of the political lineup.
"The republicans Of the east--and
| mean the men who are doing things
in the party in connection with the
national situatiOn-are coming to re-
aliZe more and more the fact that
they cannot elect any man who is not
satisfactory to Colonel Roosevelt.
"Recognition of that fact has cen
tered attention upon Mr.. Roosevelt
himself and is responsible for the
current opinion, Roosevelt seems to
be coming back.
UNITED States Senator A. B. Cum
Minis of Iowa might have chance,
for it is thought in some quarters
that he might be acceptable to Roose-
welt. The name of Senator Burton
of Ohio is also frequently mentioned.
''As for Weeks Of Massachusetts,
or Fairbanks, they are given little
cOnsideration--the Fairbanks boom
being looked upon as joke"
Mr. Twichell, during his visit in
Washington, gained the impression
that Wilson stands in a far worse
position with respect to his own par
ty than did Taft with the republi-
cans. His attitude on many prob
lens has been responsible, says Mr..
Twichell, for split within the demo
cratic party and the breach is rapidly
widening.
During his visit in Washington, Mr..
Twichell spent some time in consid-
Grafton, with congressional commit
tees, of the administration rural cred
its bill, popularly known as the Moss
Cullis bill. With amendments that
have been made, providing for han.
ding delinquent loans, ETC., the bill
has assumed more acceptable form,
although there still is much to be
wished

London, March 7.-Driving hard
against the French lines northwest
and southeast of Verdun, the Ger

ditional gains toward Verdun, but
with extreme heavy casualties, ac-
cording to Paris. Hill No. 265 to the

Wood, directly south of FORCES, have
been occupied by the Germans
through strong infantry attacks that
were preceded by extremely heavy
bOmbardments.
The town Of Fresnes in the Woevre
also has been captured.
Over Entire Front.
The German attack was over the
entire front west of the Meuse, ex-
tending from Bethincourt to the river
but, except in the Corbeaux Wood,
the French held back the attackers at
al points. Thus the French occupy
the strategic positions on the heights

three miles since they took the town
of Forges.

Kiel, and other reports which seem
to presage the imminence of a naval
battle, nothing definite has come
through to show that German war
