ENGLAND WILL STICK
TO THE BLOCKADE
Not Thought Likely Great Brit
ain Will Recede, Even Tho
All Neutrals Protest.
Ixmdon, March 3. (According to
what appears to be the almost unan
imous opinion of observers here, Ger
many and Austria are playing a los
ing game along nearly all the eastern
front. Tho situation of the Austrians
in the Carpathians judging from of
ficial dispatches from Petrograd ars
unsatisfactory while the Russians
have definitely swept them from east
ern Galicla. Furthermore London an
nounces continued victories for tho
Russian forces in Poland operating
against the army of Field Marshal
Von Hendenuurg.
The allies' fleet again bombarded
the Dardenelles forts yesterday ac
cording to Athens dispatches but the
British press bureau has not con
firmed this report.
The attitude of the neutral powers
over the proposal of Great Britain to
cut off all sea traffic with Germany
forms the basis of most of the poli
tical comment published here today
in England. The 'London papers thru
their Washington correspondents have
all been told the United States will
protest vigorously and protests are
expected from other countries as
well.
It is not thought Great Britain will
receive even partially from her an
nounced Intention. It is argued that
Germany without domination of the
sea and carrying on an effective
blockade by submarines is quite nat
urally willing to make concessions
regarding her war zone In the return
for Great Britain relaxing the pres
sure designed to cut off her supplies.
"The British view is that Oermany
haB everything to gain and nothing tn
lose. Nevertheless Great Britain is
considering the American note and a
reply to this communication together
with details of the blockade of the
German coast may be, forthcoming.
FRENCH REPORT THEIR
PROGRESS SATISFACTORY
Paris, March 3. The official com.
mutiication from the war office fol
lows :
There is nothing of importance to
add today. In Champagne wo hold
(he first line of German trenches from
Perthes to the north of Reausejour,
and at several points we have pro
gressed beyond this line. (
Tho progress at various points re
ported yesterday Is confirmed. There
has been cannonading in the Argonne.
On the rest of tho front there is
nothing to report.

DECLARED TO BE
Rome, March 3. Emperor Francis
Joseph is near a collapse, the tremen
dous demands upon his strength btr
lig too much for him, according to a
dispatch from Vienna. Count Tlsza,
after an hour's audience with the em
peror yesterday, became greatly alarm
ed when tha emperor closed his eye,
dropped hta head and remained mo
tionless. The minister, Buspecting the
aged ruler was dying, hastily sum
moned physicians. It was ascertain
ed that the emperor had not fainted
but bad fallen asleep from sheer ex
haustion.

BELGIAN WOMEN'S CAPS SEIZED;
"TOO PATRIOTIC," SAYS GERMANS
Berlin, March 3. -A special dh-0
patch received by the Tageblatt from
Brussels Bays:
The latest craae In millinery 'Bel
gian soldiers' capi attained such
great popularity that the German au
thorities have had to confiscate the
new style, of headgear from hundreds
of women, and to forbid their further
use for the time being. The soldiers'
wives and sweethearts had discarded
the flags and other national color
adornments they formerly wore, and
adopted the bats of cavalrymen anil
carabineers, which tbey tilted at a
rakish angle.
"The fad threatened to create a
public nuisance, as the wearing of thu
hats by the women caused outburst:)
of patriotic enthusiasm at every turn.
The. women took the confiscation good
naturedly, tlie milliners being WG on
ly ones to grieve."

OKLAHOMA TOWNS
END 9-YEAR FEUD
gapulpa, Okla.. March 3. After
nine yearn of community strife, dur
ing which time it was unsafe for vihlt
orn from either town to travel lo the
other, Supulpa and Bristow, the two
largest cities In tills section, have
buried the hatchet. Rivalry will not
down, however, but the rivalry now in
force U the friendly kind. Beginning
this week the two cities are agreed
to a friendly tontcst known as a
"clean-up race" not li cean-up or
suns or lists, but iho modern clean
up of the streets and lawns, the re
moving of eye-sores and the generul
brushing up which Is geting to be a
charac terlbtic of the West. Ana on
April ml the winner will be dined
and wined by the defeated city, when
the fiist cordial banquet of the rival
cities will take place. The school
chiliU'en, newspapers and commercial
clubs are tetklng hold of the Idea and
are glud tho long enmity it over. For
many years revenge has been wrought
back and forth, sometimes for fan
cied wrongs :but now the spirit of the
modern rivalry pervades and both cit
ies ay they will be game losers if
the other fellows piake n cleaner

to .Kidder, Peabody & Co., both firms
importing entirely on exchange trans
actions which were believed to have
boon made at tho recent low point of
tho market. In the financial district
they were wondering today Jvhelher
additional sums would conraTin for
eign exchange circles, however, the
opinion was that tho gold movement
from London direct was over for the
present.
Ottawa May Ship Metal,
On iho other hand international
bankers thought moro gold might ra-
tiirn from Canada, where X,260,000
has been transferred to this city,
Much speculation prevailed as to
whether the gold was securod from
the Bank of Kim I a ml or in the open
market. It was probably guthered
outside the bunk.
That the gold should have returned'
on an American steamer also caused
comment. This will probably bo tho
rase with future shipments so long
as tho war zone Is lu effect.
