SLAV ACTIVITIES MARKED EAST
Dodd’s Cavalry Now Is Chasing Fleeing Bandit
KUROPATKIN TAKES TRENCHES
FROM VON HINDENBERG
PBTROGRAD, March 21.—General
. Kuropatkin has covered hlmaelt
with glory in not only extricating
his army from a very embarassing
position but in snatching victory
from defeat when he smashed von
HIndeciberg's lines in the Narcos
lake region, capturing the entire
front of German trenches which he
is now holding.
Over eight hundred German pri
aoners were taken captive while two
thousand Russians that the Ger
mans had surrounded were also re
gained to the army of the Tzar.
Fighting is now proceeding with
von Hindenberg driving desperate
counter attacks in a frantic effort to
get his grip back upon these posi
tions.
LONDON, March 21.—A morning
Petrograd dispatch announces gains
in eastern Galicia where the Aus
trian lines have been swept across
the Dncister.
LONDON, March 21.—There Is
now manifested considerable activ
ity on the east where the Russians
have been engaging the Teuton for
ces with varying ouccoos. The
marked success of Kuropatkin's
strategy in the northern lake region
is likely to lead to a general offen
sive, the Qormana driving savagely
in an attempt to regain the positions
which were lost today, and evening
reports showing that the fighting
was growing in seriousness although
the German accounts do not coincide
with those being sent out from i'c
trograd in any other respect.
ARRANGING PROTOCOL FOR
UNITED STATES AND MEXICO
^^^ J *' ^ 4 * * " M
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 21.—
•The United States government is
now arranging a protocol with the
Carranza government whereby the
both Bidee agree to hunt down Villa
and other bandits.
It is believed that this protocol
will remove the slightest call for
Mexican dissatisfaction and distrust
of the American government.
SAN ANTONIO, March 21.—It is
reported here that Carranza troops
are now skirmishing with Villa' near
Cruces.
EL PASO, March 21.—General
Funston has aBked for more troops
in order to bring up the protection
of Pershing's thin line of commu
nication to the proper standard.
Funston holds that the line is wholly
inadequate.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 21.—
General Pershing reports that Colo
nel Dodd with United States cavalry
is rushing to Namiquipa where Gen
eral Cano, the Carranza leader,
skirmished with Villa.
Villa according to this report is
now retreating with his force to the
Santa Clara mountains and the re
gulars are making a strenuous effort
to give him battle and to intercept
him in making for' his retreat.
Reports show that Villa’s force
has been greatly exaggerated for his
force did not exceed one thousand
men.
The failure of the Mexicans to
rise in revolt when the American
troops invaded Mexico is said to
have been a very bitter disappoint
ment to General Villa.
MEXICO CITY, March 21.—It Is
charged that the Villa raid and the
effort to force intervention is part
of a conspiracy upon the part of the
clerical party againBt Carranza.
FURTHER RESTRICTIONS
PLACED ON LUXURIES
LONDON, March 21.—With a view
of retaining aa much a3 possible ot
the money being spent in the coun
try to prosecute the .war, the gov
ernment has placed still further re
strictions upon the luxuries which

| All sorts of dodges are being de
vised to overcome these restrictions,
as gifts are allowed to pass in free,
many are sent in as gifts to be li
quidated after the war. Government
has prosecuted quite a number for
these tricks.
PETROGRAD, March 21.—It is
announced that the Russians now oc

Ipsahan has been the center ot
t German activities in Persia since

sians and secured the co-operation
of the tribesmen in their revolt.

SUB-COMMITTEE FAILS
IN TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN
CHICAGO, March_21.—The* r^pun
liean Arrangements Sub-Committee
is reported to have failed to name
a temporary chairman of the con
vention owing to the friction be
tween the individual members on
the point.
It is now left up to the National
Committee, the sub-committee today
adjourning sine die.
Reports leaking out say that some
' wanted Root named temporary
chairman, but as it was held that
as his chairmanship might recall the
steam roller of other days his pre
sence would block reconciliation
with the Bull Moosers and hence h!»
name was abandoned.
It is expected that the national
committee will now name the chair
man.

way connected with that corpora
tion.

BULGARS CONCENTRATE ON
THE RUMANIAN BORDER NOW
MILAN, March 21.—Exceedingly
suspicious of Rumania, Bulgar
troops are now massing on tho Ru
manian border with the Intent ot
driving upon Bucharest In case the
Rumanians show any sign of hostil
Mien
BERLIN, March 21.—Rumania b
occasioning a good deal ot distrust
In the capitals of the Central Powers
ns well as In Sofia and 1U ultimate
designs are covered with suspicion.
Oermaay and Austria will unite la
sdtls> a note of explanation of Ru
mania's military mobilisation loot
now.
LONDON. March SI.—Rumania
has ordered the full mobilisation o.
Its troopss, calling out every avail
able man.
The situation is somewhat extra
ordinary. The ministers of the En
tente powers profess no knowledge
of any alliance with Rumania. Bul
garia Is massing troops on the Ru
manian border.
The news la heightened in inter
est by the faet that Russia has been
accumulating an Immense army for
ever three months la Bessarabia and
just along the Rumanian border. Is
the absence of any specific declara
tion of Its Intention, It is somewhat
difficult to say how Rumania will
turn. As however there Is bitter
friction between the Rumanian and
Bulgarian government, it Is expected
that the Rumanians will if they war
at all, war on Bulgaria.
In the event of Bulgaria being
attacked by Rumania it almost "cer
tain that the Allies from Salonika
would begin a drive also, while the
Russian Bessarabian army would
also' daooend upon that country.
MANY SHIPS REMOVED
FROM OCEAN TRAFFIC
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 21.—
In a report which has Just been is
sued in relation to the need of the
early passage of the shipping bill,
it is shown that there are now two
thousand ships less at Bea than
there were in service before the
war. This includes those Interned,
the German ships removed from the
sea all told including sunk, cap
tured or interned being about six
hundred.
The only nation which has in
creased its fleets to any great num
erical extent is Japan although the
i --J.
United States shipyards are flooded
with orders and in a short time will
also have a very much larger mer
cantile marine than at any time in
its history.
The fact that the yards are all
busy on contracts is being freely
used by companies to off-set the
need for any government shipping
bill, holding that it is only a matter
of time until the private firms will
be able to attend to the needs of
the situation.
On the other hand the supporters
of the shipping bill are pointing 10
the fact that the lack of shipping
has resulted in the docks in practi
cally every port being blocked with
merchandise awaiting shipment and
many supplies cannot be obtained
as a result of no steamers being
available for these from foreign
ports. Notable instance of this is
the shortage in nitrates for the
cotton crop fertilization, and it Is
estimated that in various states the
decrease in production of cotton la
almost fifty per cent on this ac
count.
BRITISH AND GERMAN
DESTROYERS IN FIGHT
LONDON, March SI.— British

AMSTERDAM, March SI.—Zee
brugge suffered In the air raid even
more severely than had been first
reported, fires destroying a large
section of the town and explosive
bombs wrecking many yards of dock
front.
The raid of airmen was also great
ly assisted by the warships standing
out to sea which shelled the port
while the Germans were directing
their attention to the aircraft.
VANCOUVER, B. C., March 21.—
▲ peculiar riot broke out In this
city today when Japaneso wrocked

cal Japanese paper has been cover

Dominion.
The newspaper office was com
iplstely wrecked by the Indignant
