New York. March 10.-The Associ- ated Press sums up the war news re- ceived earlier in the day as follows:
 The British forces that drove the Turks from Kut-E FL -Amara have at last come in contact with a new Turkish line on the Diala river, six miles be- low. Bagdad. which point, apparently, the Turks have chosen to defend that ancient city.
 General Maude. the commander of the British forces in Mesopotamia. has asserted that the Turks are holding the new line in some strength and tha- his troops are engaging them.
 The advance of the Russian forces in we.,ern Persia with the capture of the town of Senne and Turkish posi- tions nearby have brought the troops of the Russian Emperor within 25 miles of the upper part of the Diala river. near the mouth of which stream the British are attacking the Turks.

COALITION PLANS ! IN LOWER HOUSE ID BE ABANDONED
This Follows Indication That Independents Would Not Attempt to Block Im-
 portant Legislation

Washington, March 1o.-The possibility of coalition organization agreement be- tween democrats and republicans in the incoming House of Representatives was considerably lessened today in the opinion of many members by the announcement of Representative Schall, progressive of Minnesota, one of the five so-calied inde- pendents, that he would not be a party to an independent movement which would block important legislation.
 As the bipartisan plan of organization was originally preached only with the view of defeating deadlock by the refusal of the independents to support either . republican or democratic for speaker, leaders of both big parties tonight think the coalition idea will be abandoned.
 Republicans generally accepted the de velopment as meaning an additional vote for Representative Mann for speaker. as Representative Schall spoke in behalf oi

 SUBMARINE WILL
 MEAN GUN SHOTS This Is View of Government Though No Instructions
 Have Been Given to
 This Effect WORK OF ARMAMENT IS BEING RAPIDLY DONE Whether Cargoes of Abso- lute Contraband, Such as Munitions, Will Be
 Guarded Not Decided

Washington, March 10.-The American. government today began the actual preparations for arrning American merchant men against Germany's ruth less submarine warfare. Ship owners having been notified of President Wilson's decision 1 that he has full authority to lproceed with this policy, de- tails were taken up so there might be as little delay as pos sible in granting requests for defensive armament.
 When vessels sail under the policy of armed neutrality, they will do so with the full backing of the administration, ex- pressed in the form of war risk insurance and naval guns and gllnners. 1t was made clear to- day that ill the background will be the entire resources of the United States, ready for ac- tion should Germany attack an American armed ship in viola ton of the warning of the American government.
 The state department s view of defensive armament, as ex- pressed today, was that the mere appearance of a German submarine or it's periscope near an American armed vessel would entitle the vessel to take all measures of protection on the presumption that the U- boats purpose was hostile. This was based on Germany $ announcement that her sub- marines would attack without warning any belligerent or neutral merchantmen encoun- tered within the barred zone.
 Whether. this position will be em- bodied in instructions to commanders of American armed ships and whether arms and ammunition will be fur nished to vessels carrying contraband were up for discussion today, but no announcement on either point was au- thorized.
 The attitude of President Wilson has been that no steps of belligerent char acter should be taken and that if a state - war comes it must be through the
