The operations in the Dardanelles, in which the British battleships Ir- resistible and Ocean and the French battleship Bouvet were sunk by mines and a British battle cruiser and several other of the allied war ships were damaged by shell from the Turkish forts, hold the center of attraction in the war news There are no other events of im- German submarines and the occupa tion Dv the Russians of Memel, a German port on the Baltic, which was announced in the German offi cial communication. Memel is a town of considerable importance in northeastern Prussia and the pres ence ere of Russian forces is taken Dy military observers here to indi catt; that tne Russian generals have decided to .attempt a big sweep down through East Prussia in an endeavor to compel the Germans to fall back from northern Poland Again North Poland has been transformed into an immense bog by the thaw which has set in just as Field Marshal von Hindenburg has started his offensive against Przas- nysz. it is declared that it is im possible, except at widely separated high places, to move, let alone fight. The Germans, however, seemingly anxious always to be doing some thing, have started an offensive in Central Poland, where they have commenced an attack on the Rus- sians in the rePion of tne Hiea liv er- There also is heavy fighting in Galicia, the Carpathians and Buko- wina, despite the heavy snow. On the western front no opera tions of great importance have taken place, although the French continue their efforts to work their way for ward in the Champlfg'm aTrtSAfgon ne regions and the Belgians still are" active in the little bit of their terri tory remaining in their hands. The political situation as regards Austria and Italy remains obscure. but their are persistent reports in London that negotiations for the ces sion of Austrian territory to Italy have broken down, Italy's demands have been considered excessive. Details of Ships Sinking. The British battleships Irresisti ble and Ocean and French warship Bouvet were blown up by floating mines while engaged in attacking the forts in the Narrows of the Dar danelles Thursday. Virtually all of the crews of the British ships were saved, having been transferred to other ships, under a hot fire, but an internal explosion took place on boara the Bouvet and most of her reW WaS l0St The Bouvet sank within three minutes after striking the mine. The Bouvet was built nearly 20 years ago and the British ships were built in 189 8. They were useful, however, for the work in which they were en gaged in the Dardanelles The sunk en British ships are being replaced by the battleships Queen and Im placable, vessels of a : ni'ar type They are said tc have started some time ago in anticipation of just such losses as have occurred. Two other shirs, the British battle cruiser In flexible and the French battleship Gaulois were hit by shells and dam aged. British casualties, accord in t to the British official report, were "not heavy, considering the scale of op- erations. The damage done to the Turkish forts by the heavy bombardment has not been ascertained. It is stated 1 tliat operations against them are I continuing. The forts attacked were those on either side of Kephez bay and on Kephez Point outside the Narrows and those on Kalid Behr and Chanak in the Narrows. The Kephez forts replied strongly when the battleships advanced up the Dardanelles and all the ships were hit. It is asserted that these torts nnally were silenced and a bombardment of those in the Nar rows was under way when the three battleships hit the mines. The blow ing up of the ships did not cause a cessation of the fighting, which con- tinued until darkness intervened. Italy May Get Into War. London, March 21. The relations between Italy and Australia are be- "'ed to hare reached an acute , me aispaicn says aub- 1 Mf German subjects have been advised by their consuls to leav Italy in the shortest possible time and that a number of Germans who recently arrived in Italy are being watched because of a suspicion that they are military spies. There have been reports for some days that Germany's efforts to se cure the continued neutrality of Italy by inducing Austria to cede Trent and other territory to her were not meeting with success. Italy, it was said, demanded that the terri tory be ceded to her immediately, but that the Teutonic allies desired to make the transfer after the war. Following this came reports that Austria had commenced strengthen ing her southern frontier; and, ac cording to a dispatch received in Paris from Rome today, Italian of ficers of all arms belonging to the first line, who have been on half pay, have been called to the colors. In military circles here this order is considered significant, it being contended that these officers would not be called from the public admin istration unless the situation was serious. No Austrian news on the subject is availaDle in London, the censor in that country having, it is said, prohibited comments: CARTER-ABERNATHY HEARING BEGINS TODAY. Raleigh, March 22. Judge Frank Carter, who has been holding court in the. eastern part of the state has arrived and is ready for the hearing of, the legislative committee of in quiry which will sit on the Carter Abernethy case this morning. Judge Carter since the Clark reso lution charging him with certain of ficial and moral offenses has de manded an immediate investigation and the hearing is a victory for the demand of himself and his attorneys. He declared that his administration of justice will be seriously crippled if he is allowed to rest under any imputation whatsoever and he did his best to have the gjeneral assem- Diy near these charges while it was in session. The special committee set March 22 at 10 o'clock in the morning for the beginning of testi mony. In the reply to the demand for specific charges, names of witnesses and names of individuals who are charged with moral offenses with Judge Carter, the demand was but partly met. The names of witnesses were not given and the Carter at torneys are not able to get these for purposes of cross-examination. How ever, they do not regard this a seri ous handicap. The hearing begins today but there is no way to tell how long it is to go. It has been announced by the committee that it will not allow the testimony to be protracted and the eastern half of North Carolina will not be summoned here. Many wit nesses for Judge Carter and Solici tor Abernethy are expected to come but neither side is expected to in troduce a great number to testify to the same facts.
