HARD ON FRENCH
 As for the struggle itself. it was particularly hard one on the French half of the front.

Furthermore, while on the American section of the attack the en- emy appeared to have been caught nap ping, since the Americans appeared to have taken number of the strongest positions out of hand tho Germans must have expected the attack west of the Argonne. There was evidence of this in the multiplicity of raids they had carried out there within the week.

The result of the action is having an

cording to reports Of prisoners. The
Austrian winter campaign in the noun.
tains has stopped entirely, as it was
concluded that the difficulties of snow
and ice and the interruption of roads
and transport. supplies had made op-
erations impossible. These conditions
were exceedingly severe in the fighting
area, even drinking water for the troops
being transported up the mountains
from the plains.
Having accepted these conditions as
decisive against the winter offensive
the Austrians were taken completely by
surprise when the Italians carried out
the operation, which drove the enemy

Mcdonald Named Head
OF Navy Yard Here
Admiral Usher, Former Com
mandant. Remains in Charge
of Sd Naval District

Rear Admiral John d. Mcdonald has
been named by Secretary Daniels to be
commandant of the New York Navy
Yard. Rear Admiral Nathaniel Usher,
commandant of the yard, has been de-
tachcd as the immediate head Of the
yard. but will stay as head of the Sd
Naval District. The change was made
necessary because Of the enormous
amount of work that is now being
rushed a, the navy yurd. Rear Ad-
miral Mcdonald will take charge Of the
reservation within few davs.
No announcement OF the issuance of
the orders to the two admirals was
given out by Secretary Daniels. The
change has been expected for several
months, as tho work at the navy yard
now requires the attention of ono Off
cial.
Admiral Usher would have been re-
tired last summer, but Congress passed
the law making the age Of retirement
sixty -four instead Of sixty-two years.
1t gave Admiral Usher two more years
Of official life.
Admiral Mcdonald was elevated to
that rank only recently, and gained
fame when he took the new battlesEjp

STAFF Co7.resDo,,deuco1

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-Turkish war
statements recently have given promi-
nencc to the increased British aerial
activities in the Dardanclles, together r
with minc-swceping operations, and
thls has created a new interest in the
question of the feasibility of an attack
upon the gateway to Constantinople.
IN recent naval engagement at the
entrance to the straits British war
ships engaged the former German
cruisers Breslau and Goeben, lately of
the Turkish navy. The Brcslau was
sunk. The Allies have at the present
TIME stronger forces in the Mediter-
lanean than at any previous period df
the war, and naval experts here con-
slder them to be better prepared than
ever for an attack upon the Darda
nelles.
In addition to the same military ad-
vantaages which were hoped for when
the first attempt was made to take the
straits, possession now would have the
added value Of giving the Allies an
opportunity and the means of aiding
Rumania, which may be compelled to
accept separate peace with the Cen
tral Powers if relief does not reach
her. Military authorities also believe
the Russian situation would take an
entirely new phase if Constantinople
should be taken by the Allies.

AS the Italian brigades which took

considerably less than the number of
prisoners taken from the enemy.
Enemy Losses Heavy
But the enemy losses were extremely
heavy. as is shown by the number of
dead left on the field and the reports Of
prisoners. 1t is estimated that the
total enemy loss, without counting the
prisoners taken by the Italians, was
between 5000 and 5000.
Throughout the Italian army the
troops have been stimulated by the sue

triumph is taken to show the really

Infantry fighting along the French

northwest Of Rheims, returning with
