Former Ambassador Gerard, fresh from Ber lin reported to the state department that when he left there was every evidence that Germany fully intended carrying out her ruthless submarine campaign, regardless of the prospect of war with the United States, and that talk of peace had been abandon ed. The former ambassador did not see President Wilson because the presi dent still is confined to his room, but he conferred at length with both Secretary Lansing and Counsellor Polk, and went over with them in de tail events leading to the break in diplomatic relations -between Ger many and the United States. Mr. Gerard reported that German officials apparently considered the ef- (By Associated Press.) London, March 15 Brigadier General B.

Luther and Zwingley were equally vigorous in protesting against the sale of indulgencies and those who ioiiowea alter tnem protested as hotly against the custom. Persons who believed that Germany today is almost wholly Protestant learned that in south Germany there are Catholics.

A successful revolution has taken place in Russia, accord ing to advices through Berlin to day, embodying what is stated to be an official report from Petro grad. The lead in the movement, ac cording to dispatches, was taken by the duma, which refused to accept a dissolution and organiz ed by the duma the imrerial ed by the dumfl. The imperial ministers, advices said, were locked up. The imperial troops 'there, numbering some 30,000 are reported to have supported the duma. Order is restored af ter three days of turmoil. With the exception of the notable German retirement on the Franco Belgian front, which,, whether volun tary or forced is continuing, the most interesting military developments in progress are those in western Per sia and Mesopotamia. Disorganized by their defeat before Kut-El-Amara and Bagdad, the Turks are retreating up the Tigris and at last reports were more than 30 miles north of Bagdad. Eastward two columns of Russians are advancing from Persia towards the line of the Turkish retreat, driv ing other Turkish forces before them. One of these columns has " captured Karmanskah, 90 miles from the Meso potamian border. To the northwest another column Is pressing northward and is near Ba bais, only 10 miles from the Mesopo tamian frontier. Both these Russian armies are threatening the Turkish armies in Mesopotamia. To reach their place of retirement the Turks have some 180 miles to travel before reaching their destination. From Banaeh the Russians are within 50 miles across the country from the Turkish rear. While the fast moving Russian forces at Kar manshah, while still 185 miles from Shamarah, constitutes a serious men ace to the Turkish flank in this field of long distance and rapid troop movements. The only other way to retreat for the apparently-out numbered and out-maneouvered Turkish forces- lies to the west over rough ground. Of the Franco-Belgian front opera tions, aside from those of the Brit ish on the Somme front, the current statements report little of importance. (By Associated Press) Washington, March 15.
