GERMANY Still
SEEKS DOMINION .
TO indian OCEAN
Lord Curzon Says Teutonic
Desire for Territorial EX-
pansion Is Uncurbed.

London. March 14.-"Germany's
aim to extend her dominion from
Antwerp to the Indian Ocean is by no
means defeated and will not be de-
feated until the end Of the war; SAID
Earl Curzon, member of the British
War Council and former Vlceroy OF
India, in the House Of Lords the other
day in reply to question by Loro
Bryce, former ambassador to the Uni
ted States Lord Curzon said that
while the Turks still are in possession
of 10000 square miles of territory in
Persia, the Russian troops are barring
their further advance in that coun-
try.
Persia was the scene of trouble af-
ter the outbreak of the war. The
popular theory in this country is that
it was engineered by German agents
with a view to furthering Germany's
dream Of a dominion from the Allan
tic to the Indian Ocean.
In explaining the state of things in
the near east, Lord Curzon said that
the prospect of German success in
Persia was best in August last, but
that since then it had greatly lessen
ed so that now the situation there was
almost satisfactory to the British gov
eminent. To aid the Russians in
clearing out the Turks, Lord Curzon
said reinforcements are now being
sent from India and that it was hoped
to restore order there before many
months.
1--WE seem to be in a fair way" con-
tinued Lord Curzon, 'to be consolida-
ting the position against the Ottoman
power. I cannot say that the situa-
ton is altogether free from anxiety.
Turkish troops have still to be turned
out from the western portions of Per-
STA. The southern partN and shores OF
the hinterland of the Persian gulf are
still in a state of disorder, and the
trade routes are not yet all opened
But I think we may say that the worst
is over, and the particular link Persia
has supplied in this great German
chain of ambitions has been forcibly
twisted aside, if it has not been brok-
en-"
The British successes in Mesopota
mia would, he believed, have a decid-
ed influence on the whole situation
in the Near East.

today that James H. Cosgriff, freight
agent at Bridgeport for the last year
and a. half, has been elevated by the
high railroad officials and within a
week or 10 days. will assume the man
agement of the company's business on
the freight piers of New York.
Z The new position, carrying as it does
high responsibility and delicate labor
problems, is high tribute to the ability
of Mr.. Cosgriff.

at a time when labor troubles were
prominent in the conduct of freight
despatch, when industry was booming
and freight congestion faced railroad
officials throughout the country, his
system was such that deliveries were
accelerated and delays minimized.
Mr.. Cosgriff has accomplished much
n this city and his going will create a
oss that will be deeply felt among
shippers who will, however, wish him
every success in his new undertaking
at New York.

BEWARE OF FIRE ON
WINDY DAYS, WARNS
CHIEF D. T.. JOHNSON

A loose fire-brand, high wind
and buildings covered with wood
shingles are the three principal ele-
ments of a conf1gration. The COM
bination of these three elements has
caused 3 CONGREGATIONS in the United
States within the last Is years, en-
failing a property loss or more than
s6O,OOO,0OO. Three of these conf1a-
grations occurred in the month OF
March, 1915, the most destructive OF
which was at Paris, Texas. The
property loss at Paris, Texas, approx
mated at least $40 100000.
Buildings with wood single roofs
we have. High winds we are subject
to periodically and cannot prevent, SO
it is against the loose fire-brand that
we must direct our preventive efforts
The season of the year is now mere
when a general cleanup is the order
of the day. A general cleanup is
good thing since good housekeeping,
individually and collectively, is one
of the worst enemies to fire waste,
yet we must not get careless In the
use Of the renovating agency-f1re,
else with our trash and rubbish we
may also destroy our home and our
business.
This communication is to give
warning about open fires on windy
days. Wait for still day to burn
your dead grass and the winters ac'
emulation of rubbish, and in no
event, start open fires near buildings
Even a fire under the wash kettle in
the yard on windy day may destroy
your home. When you are about to
start an open fire on a windy day
Think of the danger of a conf1agra.

A Second Bonne Terre, Maybe.

(The Potosi Journal
A body Of disseminated lead and
zinc ore has been struck about five
miles west of Potosi, where Messrs. E.
F. Cordia, J. B. Boyer and J. 7. Ter
rell of this place are carrying on min
ing operations. Aspecimen Of the rock
displayed at Mr.. BOyer's store is rich
in both lead and xinc, the lead pre-
dominating. Mr.. Boyer says that the
prospecting has been pursued to q
depth of fifty feet, and for thirty.six
feet the shaft penetrates ore, which
grows richer with the depth. What
extent the ore body has is not yet
known, and it is possible that drilling
may be resorted to before long to
make a test of the extent. The ore
is of q true disseminate character and
will require milling. Mr.. Boyer says
that he is convinced that this discov'
cry is going to develope into some
thing big. Lands are being optioneo
