Cording to dispatches from Bucharest.
Details of I'etrograd odlclal reports

ALLIES' "BLOCKADE" SHARPLY
ASSAILED BYMITISH EXPERT
i.OKDON, Mnrch S.
Sharp criticism of the Allies' new block
nde policy was expressed by Thomns 31b
son Howies, former member it Parlia
ment and a writer on nnval mutters, In
on address before the Institute of Ship
Brokers. He snldi
"What Is to happen to cargoes of
enemy ownership, origin and destina
tion which nrd brought to port? They
ato not to bo confiscated; this Is ex
pressly declared. Aro they to be pur
chased by tho captors, according to the
doctrine of pre-emption, with 10 per
cent, compensation for delay?"
tf tho latter course was pursued, .,r.
Bowles points out, rjreat Britain would
trado with Germany on a large scale. If
pre-emption was not to be resorted to,
Mr, Bowles asked If seized goods would
be held in trust.
Tho speaker criticised tho new policy
In that it does not conform to the com
mon law which Orotepts nimtrnt trmlnn
and docs not Inflict maximum damage
upon the enemy by confiscating tho
enemy's goods found on neutral ships.

Potrograd Admits Foe's Extrication
From Predicament.
PETROQRAD, March 5.
That the German armies have succeed' d
In extricating themselves from a perilous
predicament along the NIomen -nnd Bobr
Rivers In Poland was officially admitted
here today. Swamps and streams aro
frozen over, permitting tho Germans to
bring up their 16-li.ch artillery, which had
been held back.
Along the seven-mile front from Simno
to Sereje, west of tho second-class
XortrcEe of Olita on the Nlemcn, the Ger
mans are massing for an attack, ap
parently In an attempt to cross the .'Iu
men and advance ulong the railway to
Vllna. Russian reinforcements, hurried to
Olita. are opening their offensive.
On the Bobr, though the Russians have
aucceeded in forcln their way across that
river at Wlzna, tho Germans have -e-turned
to the assault upon Ossowltz. The
fall of this fortress and a German ad
vance toward Vllna would render Grodno
vulnerable to attacks from two sides.
TURKEY SEEKS PEACE TERMS,

Beports that Turke will sue for nencn

circles here today Some rumors were
to the effect that the American Ambassa
dor at Constantinople had been Informally
approached by Turkfsh officials and nsked
to ascertain on what terms the Allies
would consent to a termination of hos
tilities. Italian newspapers have resumed their
efforts to Induce tho Government to par
ticipate in the war. They assert that the
tribal outbreaks reported from Tripoli are
duo to Turkish machinations and that
Italy must make a firm stand to protect
her Interests.
Both Germany and Austria have re
fused to come to the aid of the Sultan,
according to Bucharest dispatches to
day, Austria has refused Turkey's ur
gent request to send her fleet to attack
the allied warships, fenring the destruc
tion of her entire navy. She has advised
the Sultan to cross into Asin Minor
If the strait Is forced. Germany Is re
ported to have refused a request for more
gunners to direct tho Krupps on the
strait fortifications.
By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD
LONDON, Marcli 5
It pays to adertlsc. Ask Lord Kitch
ener. Ask Winston Churchill. Ask ihn
Kngllsh Government. Xot many weeks
ngo Kitchener was n conscriptlonlst. He
had tho man's slzo Job on his hands of
getting together nn nnnv 10 times larger
than England had ever hoped or planned
to have. It looked to him and to many
another Kngllshmnn as if thp Kitchener
army would, beyond n certain point, have
to be made up of drafted men.
But nil this time nn Influence was at
work that Kitchener didn't know much
about. Of war and armies and tho task
' ruling colonics no man Knows more
than Kitchener, but what Kitchener knew
nbout advertising newspaper advertis
ing or any other kind was nothing.
Thero was one man In England who knew
ns much about advertising as Kitchener
did about armies, and while Kltrhener
and his army council were worrying about
conscription, this man was p.itlnlitl,
scientifically nnd hopefully advertising.
And this man's advertising bus saved
England from conscription.
No Englishmen nro to be forced Into
tho army: no men nro to bo dragged, un
willing, from their families; England will
go through the wnr with the proud boast
that every one of her onny of millions
is a willing volunteer That Is the out
look today. Kitchener is no longer n
conscriptlonlst. The voices of tho Dukes
nnd Lords, who believed Hint tho masses
ought to be forced to Join the army, have
been silenced: and England will have
tho glory of possessing an army of men
who asked to be permitted to fight for
her.
This man is Hedley Le Has. He's a
pschoioglst of the masses. Ho knows
how the public thinks nnd whnt It wants
nnd what It will want. And always be
fore the public knows theso thlncs Itself
He has made a fortune in a publishing
concern by this talent, and when tho
war started he knew that Englishmen
wanted to fight for their country. His
duty was to tell them they did Tho War

BRITAIN WILL REFUSE
U.S. PROPOSAL, GERMAN
OFFICIAL'S PREDICTION
Declares English Nation Is
on Trial Before the
World and Expects Neu
tral Powers to Render
Just Verdict.
The ancient Column Brulos is one of the oldest monuments in Con
stantinople. There is a tradition that as long ns it remains standing
the Turkish empire will endure. Its fall will mark the end of the
Sultanate.
when the declaration of war camo like
a bolt out of tho blue. Tho need then
became for millions.
"How shall 1 tell England the nimy
wants men' What thought Is big en
ourIi and what words strong enough to
eaten their attention?
The danger was Chat his first messago
would be too weak He worked one
wholo night, writing down short phrases.
By morning he had only 20 Then he
spent the rest of the SI hours picking
out tho phinses that were not good en
ough ond throwing t'nem away. Klnnllv
thero was only one phrase left. It read:
"Your KIhk nmt jnur cmuitrj need
you."
The newspapers biased forth that ad
vertisement that night. The called at
tention to the fact that this phmsO was
to appear on posters and blllboiuds every
where. The public read the newspapers
nnd watered for the posters. The
phrase lilt the English mind etactly In
the centre. And then Le Bas set out
on a terrific advertising campaign. He
followed English public opinion. He
kept his nerves raw to Kngllsh feeling.
Lord Roberts died nt the front.
"Lord Roberts did his duty. Will vou
do yours?" was thundered in tho news
papers and then on the ulllboarns, even
while public nttcntloh was still lixed on
tho old heroe dcth. j
API'EALS TO EMI'LOYEItS
These messages were to the masses.
What about the cmploieis whose business
might suffer by letting their men go?
Lo Bas handed these thoughts to them
In ono huge blast In tho evening papers:
"Is there somo man serving jour cus
tomers who ought to bo kerUng his
country?"
"Is there some man preserving jour
game who ought to be preserving the
country?"
These two queries were punches. Land
owners and employers wrote to the news
papers In which tho advertisements had
appeared, saying that they had never
looked at the matter In this new light.
When the soldiers' letters began to como
from the front nnd England was dotted
with proud homos nnd neighborhoods,
Le Bas sensed the feeling
"You're proud of your pals In the arnn,
of course; but whnt will jour pals think
of you?"
And then there wns a display nd, show
ing a soldier silhouetted on a hill hold
ing his rifle
"Aro'jou content for him to fight for
you? Why don't you do jour bit?" asked
tho advertisement.
Tho nrmy council nnd Kitchener can
almost put their finger on tho day and
hour ivhen tho torrent broke Tho bat
tering of advertising had done Its work,
rtecruita becan to come In faster than
they could be equipped. That was live
weeks ago. Tho tide has been flowing In
over since.
Lo Bns' Job isn't dono jot. He's still
on It. Incidental!, lie works for nothing.
Ho know that, If tho English people knew
the true facts and pondered them long
enough, they would fight without con
scription And what Is advertising but
letting tho people know? There aro
plenty of new features in this wnr, but
Le Has' advertising campaign In England
Is perhaps the Mth-ccnturlest tiling that
has bee-i done In tho great European
struggle
BERLIN, March 6. "The decision now
rests with England. Germany has
shown her good faith and desire to pro
tect the Interests of neutrals. If Eng
land wnnts to do tlje same, let her net
at once and accept the suggestions mado
by tho United States. It Is needless to
sav that we do not expect her lo do so.
"England Is once more on trial beforo
tho world. Wo trust to Iho fair minds
of Americans nnd other neutrnls lo bring
In a Just crdlct "
In the foregoing words a high ofllclal
of the Gorman Government today pre
dicted the failure of tho American Gov
ernment to effect a compromise between
Enclntid ami Qerinaliv. throUKh modifi
cations of tho former's "bread war" and
i the laltor's submarine campaign. Ho
I then cited the statement mado In tho
British Parliament jestcrday by Foreign
Secretary Grey as forecasting tho nttl
tudo to be taken by England, sajlng:
"Sir Edward Giny served notlco on noil
Iral nations In that statement that Eng
land would not listen to the t'nltcd States
or any other nation unless It Joined Groat
Britain In Its warfnro against Germany.
Is It possible for Americans to misunder
stand British motives" M'e do not think
so

BRITAIN DETAINS AMERICAN
FOOD CARGO FOR HOLLAND
LONDON, March 6.
Although tho question of dealing with
ships nnd their cargoes Is paramount In
tho public mind, officials remain silent

Meanwhile foodstuffs from the United

Here is a moderate-priced instrument possessing the structural features and
the high artistic ideals that characterize the great Pianola-Pianos.
To those considering the purchase of a player-piano and with whom price is a
limiting consideration, ,ve unhesitatingly commend the Francesca-Heppe at $450.
