Germans Claim Score
For February Large

Berlin, Friday, March 16.-(By
Wireless to ESayville. March 1877
Merchant ships of an aggregate
gross tonnage of 78l 500 were de-
stroyed in February as a result Of
war measures of the central pow
ers, the admiralty announced to.
day. The statement follows: In
February 366 merchant ships of an
aggregate gross tonnage of 78l 500
were lost by the war measures of
the central powers. Among them
were 292 hostile ships with an ag-
gregate gross tonnage of $4,000
and seventy-four neutral ships Of
an aggregate gross tonnage of 49,
500. Among the neutral ships,
sixty-one were sunk by submar-
ines. which is 16.5 per cent Of the
total in February as compared with
29 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 1f un-
restricted submarine warfare, and
the figures given out in England.
1t was said authoritatively in Lon
don on March 3, that in February,
German submarines sent to the
bottom in round numbers 100000
tons of shipping. No mention was
made of ships destroyed by mines.

China Prepares
To Enter War on
Side of Entente

Peking. China, March l8.--After
announcing the severance of diplo-
matte relations between China and
Germany. foreign minister Wun Ting
Fang called a meeting OF the minis
tcrs of the entente nations and later
a meeting OF the ministers Of neutral
countries. He presented a memor-
andum at both meetings, requesting
suspension OF payment of indcmn-
ties for the Boxer uprising, consent
to an increase of import duties and
modification OF China's undertakings
that will permit it TO station troops
at Tien-T -Tsin, along the ien-Tsin-Pe-
king railroad and in the legation quar-
ter as protection against Germans.
The Dutch legation is protecting
German interests and guarding the
German legation. The German min
lister and his staff probably will leave
Peking for Shanghai within FIVE days.
Denmark is looking after Chinese
interests in Germany.
In the light OF previous dispatches
from Peking, the action taken by the
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.

At the close of the impressive dedi-
cation services, Archbishop Harty ex-
planned that one of his last afficial acts
as bishop Of Manila, before leaving for
Omaha, was to call new community
of the Good Shepherd and buy prop
erty for home of the order. The
archbishop was very interested and
active i'll the new undertaking, and re-
GREETED having to leave Manila before
completing and dedicating the Good
Shepherd home there. ... ...
Thus he was fervent in thanks to
God yesterday for having the privilege
of dedicating a Good Shepherd chapel

field.

ARMIES OF RUSSIA
join REVOLUTION
Reported to Be Unanimous for
New Move and One
Against Foe.
TO DRAFT CONSTITUTION

Petrograd (Via London), March l8.
With the cementing of the elements
concerned in the construction of the
new government upon the ruins of the
old, the new cabinet ministers have
assumed the posts to which they were
assigned. Prof. Paul N. Milukoff
yesterday received at the foreign Of
fee the diplomatic representatives of
the entente allies, after which he en-
tered upon long cabinet conference.
One of the first acts of the minister
was to notify Russian diplomats
abroad that Russia was united in the
desire to fight out the war with the
allies, the determination to continue
on the conflict until victory is
achieved, being stronger than ever.
Army With New Move.
The armies in the field have. advised
that the abdication of the emperor has
been enthusiastically acquiesced in,
according to foreign official. Tele-
grams from virtually all the comman-
ders have been received assuring their
support, guaranteed in advance by
General Michael Alexief, chief-of-
staff.
Meanwhile the last vestiges of the
empire are disappearing. Portraits of
the erstwhile members of the imperial
family, once seen upon the walls of
almost every government office. have
been removed While the correspond
ent Of The Associated Press waited
in an ante room of the foreign min
ister's office, liveried attendant
mounted a chair and quietly took
down portraits of the former emperor
and empress. The national colors,
with their cages, have given place to
plain red flags, one of which floats
over the famous winter palace.
Naming Government.
The proper designation of the new
government appears to puzzle even
officials. Government constitute?"
is the appellation used in foreign of
flee dispatches sent abroad. While of
a temporary nature, it spermanent
compared with the first Duma COM
mittee in the opinion of one official,
although it is contemplated that the
cabinet heads shall govern only until
those elected by Constitutional as
sembly shall replace them. The as
sembly, comprising 500 members to
be selected by popular vote will de-
termine the form of the future gov
ernment and draft a new constitution.
Will Push War.
Confidence is everywhere expressed
that under the new government the
country will be enabled to carry on
operations upon a much larger scale
than before and considerably magnify
its efforts toward a speedy termina-
ton of the war. Endless friction be-
tween departments and the continual
fear of the old government that too
complete organization might result i'll
the sudden growth of popular power
have left great part OF the resources
OF the country inert and useless.
Little Excitement.
Probably no revolution OF similar
magnitude ever had a less colorful
aftermath or was accepted by the
people so vitality affected with less
of demonstration. With the excep-
ton OF a few parades, chiefly in the
district of the Duma people went
soberly about their business yester-
day as if satisfied with a good task
we'll performed.
