G., ITUDAY, MARCH 12, 1915. NUMBER 4 BRITISH GOVERNMENT HAS TAKEN CONTROL ACTION CONSIDERED NECESSARY. To Increase Output of War Munitions ?Power Granted by the House ol Commons Unanimously. London, March 9.?10:66 p. m.? The House of Commons today gave the Government authority to take over the control of the country's entire en gineering trade and to place It under a combined management for the pur pose of increasing the output of war munitions. This drastic action was the outstanding feature here of the ' day's war news. Although public In terests in the bombardment of the Dardanelles continues at a high pitch there was little news from the land battles. The defense of the Realm act pass ed at the outbreak of war gave the Government power to control works where war materials actually were be ing made. David Liyod-Oeorge, chan eeior of the Exchequer, on behalf of the Government today asked that the control of manufactories be extended to works capable of being used tor that purpose. This power was granted unanimous ly, although Andrew Bonur Law, op position leader described the meas mre as probably the most drastic ever laid before Parliament This step on the part ot the Govern ment came as a complete surprise al though Mr. Lloyd-George In a speech at Bangor last week, emphasized the importance of Increasing the output ot war munitions, which labor dis putes had threatened to diminish. Now the workers in the engineering trade will be in the position of public ser vants and the Government hopes this fact will Impress them with the im portance of keeping up the supplies A business man will be given charge of the organization. With the war area extending and the size ot the Army and Navy con stantly increasing, the Government found that something must be done to keep the fighting branches supplied with arms and ammunition. The fleet bombarding the Dardanelles alone is nsing an immense quantity of ammu nition. . .nltnltyypsa,lctahYtlveeurtellesmcun The operations of this fleet, now re ported to have been reinforced by an other battleship of the Queen Eliza beth class and which Is known to In clude more ships than mentioned in dispatches, continue to occupy the British positions. Reports that three of the forts guarding the arrows, one on the European and two on the Asiatic side, aU armed with 14-inch guns have been silenced have increased tho con fidence of the British public that their warships will force the straights. In addition to the military and eco nomic importances the opening ot the straits would have the Allies are said to believe it would have an immense effect not only on Turkey, but on Tur key's neighbors. Greece already Is involved in a constitutional crisis over the Dardanelles and it was reported today that similar crisis had arisen in Bulgaria, where it was said the Premier was demanding Intervention on the side ot the Allies in opposition to the wishes of King Ferdlnard, who it is declared, desires to remain neu tral. In Greece M. Gounaris has under taken to form a Cabinet to secceed that ot M. Ventzelos and threatens to disolve Parliament it that body does not endorse his policy ot friendly neu trality toward the Allies. It Is believ ed In London, however that the peo ple will force the Greek Government to Intervene and that M. Venlzelos soon wfll be back In office. In the East and West fighting be tween the Germans and the Allies continues. The Russians claim anoth er victory in the region of Augustowo In North Poland, a short distance from the East Prussian frontier, which threatens to break communication be tween the Germans near the Lower Nlemen and those before Ossowetz. In Central Poland the battle which , had promised to develop on the Pillca River seems it) have died down, ow ing, as Petrograd puts it, to tho Rus sians being too strong for the Ger mans, who were forcod to abandon their offensive and fall back under a Russian counter-attack. Things have changed little In the Carpathians although the? Ruslans. according to their reports, apparently have Improved their position on the Hungarian side of the Dukala Pass. Petrograd claims an Austrian defeat near Svlnlk, on the Ondawa River, a considerable distance inside ot ..Hun garian territory. The Austrian*. ever, still are attacking the Russians south of Boligron on the Oiltolan side of the mountain*, east of the Dnkla Pass ? The official report annonneing the Here Good Read Work.

WAR SHIPS HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO MEXICO LOOKS LIKE FIGHT NOW Washington Warns Carranza?Mexi can Situation Grows Worse. American citizens again have been ? warned to leave Mexico city in view of the critical situation. The battleships, Georgia and the armoured cruiser Washington were ordered by Secretary Daniels, after conferences with President Wilson, to proceed Immediately to Vera Cruz. Notes Means Business. Although the contents of the note to Carranza were not announced Its tone impressed members of the diplomatic corps that serious conse quences would follow if Carranza failed to heed its demands. The United States, it was learned, de scribed conditions as "intolerable" and called on Carranza to take steps necessary to correct' tKe" situation. Incendiary utterances of General Ob regon were noted by the American government as likely to stir up dan gerous feelingB against foreigners, giving rise possibly to riots and out rages. Ultimatums Not in Style. The note pointed out that if barm befell foreigners the American gov | ernment would hold Carranza offi ' clals "personally responsible" and would take the necessary means to impose the responsibility where it be longed. The communication was not in the nature of an untimatum. President Wilson himself declared that the United States did not issue ultimatums, but presented views and acted accordingly. In view of the American warning it was considered likely the Obregon forces would not ? evacuate Mexico City without arranging for the polic ing of the capltol. Reports that evacuation had begun and that no disorders had arisen brought a feel iug of relief to officials, who believ ed that Carranza would not fail to answer the American government with the requisite action for the pro tection of the foreigners. Move For ?Precaution. In a sense there was an absence In official quarters of apprehension that drastic measures would be required to enforced the American note. The movement of warships to Mexican waters and the warning to Americans, it was admitted, however had been decided on out of an abundance of precaution. The entry of Zapatista forces, it was believed, would relieve the situ ation, as it would mean the reopen ing of communication north to the American border. The sending of the warships to Vera Cruz, it was stated on high au thority, was for the purpose of con vincing Carranza of the determination of the United States to take drastic steps if necessary. In view of the interruption of rail road communication between Mexico City and Veru Cruz, except for mil itary purposes, the State Department was prepared to insist that trains be provided for Americans who deBlred to reach the sea. The Carranza agency here Issued another denial tonight of reports of General Obregon's activities, and gave out a telegram from Obregon him self denying that he had Interfered with shipments to Mexico City. Wade Assistant Adjutant General The many friends of Mayor James A. Turner will be delighted to learn that he has received an appointment as as sistant adjutant General of the North Carolina National Guard, with rank of major.
