FRENCH CABINET RESIGNS
to Hand Resignation To
President.

Paris.-The French Cabinet, headed
by President BRAND, has resigned. An
official note given out after the cabinet
meeting says:
1.-THE Council of Ministers met at
Elysee Palace. The Premier reported
on various consultations he had had
with view to completing the cabinet
so it could present itself to the Cham
Der. After hearing him the cabinet
decided that circumstances compelled
it to leave to the President of the re.
public complete liberty to interpret>the
situation in the best interests of the
national defense. Consequently, the
President of the Council put into the
hands of the President of the republic
the resignation of the cabinet"

GROSS TONNAGE OF 81,5oo DE-
STROYED BY SUBMARINES
IN FEBRUARY.

Berlin.-Merchant ships of an ag-
gregate gross tonnage of 781, 500
were destroyed in February as
result of war measures of the Gen.
trial Powers, the Admiralty an
nounced.
The statement follows:
ain February 1853 merchant ships
of an aggregate gross tonnage of
7s1 500 were lost by the war meas
ures of the Central Powers. Among
them were 292 hostile ships, with
an aggregate gross tonnage of 644,-
600, and rs neutral ships of an az
gregate gross tonnage of 1877, 500.
"Among the neutral ships 81
were sunk by submarines, which
is 1915 per cent of the total in Feb
ruary, as compared with 20 per
cent, the average of neutral losses
in the last four months"
There is a wide disparity be-
tween the official German figures
of the destruction of shipping in
February, the first month of unre-
stricted submarine warfare, and
the figures given out in England. 1t
was said authoritativeIy in London
on March that in February Ger
man submarines sent to the bottom
in round numbers 100000 tons of
shipping. No mention was made of
ships destroyed by mines.

Petrograd.-Russiaa appears to be in
a fair way toward solving the great
est problem with which, perhaps, any
nation was ever confronted. Order is
growing with incredible rapidity out of
the chaos of the last week, and the
new Government, gathering up the
broken threads of national and munich
pal life, is striving to set the organiza-
ton of the country in motion so that
the conduct of the war will suffer as
little as possible from the revolution
The members of the new Ministry
already have assumed their posts and
the Government buildings, empty and
deserted for four days, are again open
for official business. The banks, all
the commercial and financial houses
and some of the factories have already
responded to the new Governments
appeal, opened their doors and eX-
pressed a Willingness to do everything
in their power to effect as quick a re-
covery as possible from the paralysis
of the last week. The soldier-police-
men are guarding the streets in place
of the old gendarmes.
Hundreds of messages have been
received from all over the country de-
claring the allegiance of important cit
les and fortresses to the new regime.
Moscow, Kharkov, Tsaritsyn and VO-
logda already have formally acknowl-
edged the new Government and so far
as is known not a single section of
the country stands out for the old or
der of things. Supported by unanimous
vote, the present Government is, in
reality, Government of the people
The Council of Nobility has held
special meetings in Is provinces and
Endorsed the new Government.
The old regime of Conservatives has
been supplanted by a Government OF
Liberals. NJ. Kerenski, the new Minis
ter of Justice, is Socialist. He &C
copied the portfolio on the stipulation
that there should be absolute freedom
of speech and of the press, and full
political amnesty. The Cabinet has
been chosen exclusively from present
and past members of the Duma II
was named by the Executive Commit
tee of the Duma, in conjunction with
other Deputies and representatives OF
the workingmen and the soldiers.
Prof. Paul Milukoff, the new Foreign
Minister, informed the correspondent
that the new regime was determined
on the elimination of Emperor Nicho
las and of the regency of Grand Duke
Michael.

the severance of diplomatic relations
between China and Germany. Foreign
Minister WI Ting-Fang called a meet

of payments of indemnity for the Box

import duties and modification of Chi
mas undertakings that will permit her
to station troops at Tien-Tsin. along
the Tien-Tsin-P railway and in

Washington, d. C.-With the an
nouncement of the ruthless destruc-
Non of three unarmed American mer-
chant ships by submarines, it was I'M
officially admitted here that virtually
a state of war exists between the
United States and Germany.
Technically the United States re-
mains in position of armed neutral
ity. Whether this shall be changed
before April Is, the date fixed for a
special session of Congress, the war
making branch of the Government,
President Wilson has not decided.
One step the President is contem-
plating is a call for an immediate ses-
sion of Congress to hear an address
asking for authority to adopt agrees
sive measures against the submarine
menace. AS American ships already
are being armed to defend themselves,
the next move must be to send war
ships with orders to seek out subma-
Tines and clear the transatlantic
lanes.
Some of the highest officials of the
Government hold that the Executive
has the power to declare that a state
of war exists and to proceed with ag-
gressive protective steps pending the
assembling of Congress. There is no
indication, however, that the Presi-
dent will follow that course.
OF the three ships destroyed, two OF
them were unloaded and homeward
bound, and all were American built
American owned and Differed and
manned largely by American citizens
Meager dispatches indicate that all
were sunk with complete disregard
for the safety of those on board, and
that some of the members of the
crews may have been lost.
Late developments brought the Gov
crnment face to face with the problem
of fol- mulating a definite policy for the
nation in case the United States &C
tually enters the war; This possibility
was mentioned by the President il
his inaugural address March 5.

President in his message announcing

In the light of previous dispatches

Chinese foreign minister indicates that
the government is preparing to enter
the war with the Entente. 1t was said
in these dispatches that negotiations
to that end were under way, and that

obtain suspension of the payments Of

THIS DEER LIKES
TRIPS ON FERRY
q

Some days ago Arthur Brownrigg,
who operates the Merrimack ferry, had
quite an experience with a young
deer, according to a letter received
at this office from a resident of the
village. The deer came along and in
sisted on riding on. the ferry across
the river After making several trips
it was apparently satisfied and wan
dered away to nip the grass on the
hillside. The animal is probably one
of those placed on Gibraltar bluff
last winter by the state conservation
commission.
