Germans Claim Breakdown of

BERLIN, March U. -Allj
decisive lighting in the ChftrESgno
region has ended, at least temporarily,
according to an ofllclal report of'thq. Ger
man War Office, which admits- -sllght-Fronoh
gains, obtained, however, at tho
cost of 15,000 men. The Germans place
their losses at one-third of this number.
As the Germans have managed In' the
main to hold their positions, they claim
that the campaign was favorable to them
and that tho French offensive move has
been checked.
The official bulletin says:
"With the flghts reported today and
tho last fow days the winter battle In
Champagne has como so far to a con
clusion that no revival can change the
final result.
"In uninterrupted fighting by day and
night the enemy has gradually thrown,
ainqe February 16, more than six com
plete army corps and stupendous quan
tities of heavy artillery ammunition of
his own and American production often
more than 100,000 shots within 21 hours
against a German front extending over
live miles and defended by two weal:
Rhenish divisions.
'Of course, the German losses against a
valiant enemy were heavy; they even ex
ceed those suffered by the whole of the
German forces that took part In the Ma
zurlan battle.
"BUt these sacrifices are not lost. The
enemy's losses amount to at least three
fold the German losses, viz., more than
,00d men. The Oerman front In Cham
pagne la now more solid than ever, and
the French efforts have not had the
least Influence on the course of events
In the East." ,
Continued frem Tngt One
llmlnary statement of the captain of tho
Frye then tho United States will Insist
6n reparation. The United States will
Insist, In Its negotiations with Germany,
thnt Its position Is as outlined by tho
President In his note to Germany In
which he said.'
"If the commander of German vessels
of war destroy on the high sen an Amer
ican vessel It would be difficult
for tho Government of the United States
to view the act In any other light than
An Indefensible violation of neutral rights
which It would be very hnrd to reconcile.
If such a deplorable situation
should arise the Government o(
the United State) would be constrained
to hold the Imperial Government to a
strict accountability."
In this connection the President has
made It plain that this Government hns
surrendered none of Its rights under In
ternational law so far as nny of the
governments now at war are concerned.
And It stands ready to take any steps
which it may deem right to safeguard
such acknowledged rights everywhere,
but especially on the high sens.
That the British Government would
protest against tho Eltcl's release by tho
United States wns unofficially reported
here today.
Commander Thlcrlchens, of tho Eltcl
Frledrioh, has', declared thnt tho cargo
of the Frye was consigned to England
"for orders" and plainly meant for tho
British Government. This Captain Klehne
of the Frye denies, and declares that his
manifest was tho usual one for wheat
carrying craft,
Tho shin was Insured for J 11X00 In tho
Government War Risk Bureau, nnd this
Is expected to prove a factor in tho final
decision In tho case.

"Prinz Eltel Friedrlch, Clcrmnn navy,
transferred from command In China. Of
llcers are regular German officers. The
crew come from the Kalserln Lutz. The

tho American ship Frye, from Seattle,
with a carco of wheat, was sunk by the

women and children.

GERMANY TO PAY WAR DEBT

Budget of ?3,250,Q00,000 Docs Not
Shatter Confidence of Financiers.
BERLIN, March 11.
Although the German budget of f3,2o0,
COO.OX) Is four times larger than any pre
vious estimates, Berlin financiers said to
day that the Indemnities which would be
collected from the Allies ut the end of
tho war would more than balance the
losses of tho empire. This supreme con
fidence In the outcome of tho great strug
gle was expressed at a meeting of the
special committee appointed by the
Ilelchstag to administer the budget,
"England declares that she cannot
forego the right to starve Germany, Ger
many has replied with submarines, the
crews of which have already given many
proofs of their herolo bravery, Germany
Is not to bo conquered by starvation. Our
enemies did not reckon with our economic
strength, with the organized strength of
our agriculture, commerce and Industry,
the unity of the nation and our firm de
termination to win.
"Our sacrifices are gigantic, but on the
blood-soaked battlefields a lasting peace
Is 6prlnglng up which will lead our great
and beloved Fatherland to new and flour
ishing power."
This was the declaration of Johannes
Kaemff, President of the Reichstag,
which met yesterday.

after admitting that ho had been out at
Jail less than a week, was held Under

In tho broken window of Joseph Schull's
cigar store, at 63 Ncrth Cth street.
Schmidt wns so Intent on gathering up
the spoils In tho show window that ha
failed to see the approach of the blue

ward movement, tho man knocked the
revolver from tho policeman's hand and
darted around tho corner. Tiler recovcitd
his weapon and started In pursuit. He
sent two bullets nfter the fugitive, whe
then dashed Into Cuthbcrt street.
Hut Schmidt failed to shako orf his

from windows, thinking n Tone war had
uroKen out ngaln, but men running away
from n pollcemnn In Chinatown aro never
headed off. Not sanguine of escaping

to trick the pursuing bluecoat.
He stopped as ho turned Into 10th street
and lenped on Pller's back us he swung
the corner. Ho hnd tho policeman down
nnd for severnl minutes there was a des
perate light for possession of tho blue

BRITISH TROOPS MAKE RIG
ADVANCE NEAR LA BASSEE
Nieuport Bombarded by Heavy Guns
of Germans.
PARIS, March 11. The bombardment of
Nieuport by tho Germans with their tt
centlmctro guns nnd nn Importnnt vic
tory of the British troops near I.n Bassco
are the principal features of the com
munlquo Issued last night by the French
"Wnr omce. This Is the first time that
the enemy has brought his heaviest ar
tillery to bear on Nieuport. The city,
which already had been badly damaged,
wns reduced almost to ruins.
Tho efforts of the British north of La
Bassee and of the French to the south
have been directed for more than a
month toward driving the Germans from
that town. The British troops, supported
by heavy artillery, not only captured the
village of Neuve Chnppelie, north of Lo
Bassee, but advanced some distance
touuid the town of Aubers, to the north
eapt. They are now within btrlltlng dis
tance of the railway lino running from
La Bassee, nnd If they can maintain their
progress should be able, within a short
time, to force n German retirement from
that district. The Isolation of La Bassee
would compel the Germans to evacuate
the town.
Tho occupation of Neuve Chappelle was
not an easy matter, for the Germans
put up n desperate resistance and were
not driven out until huge losses had been
Inflicted upon them. On one small part
or the field the British took 1000 prison
ers, including soveral officers.

Germnns Mobilize Elephants
LONDON, March 11. A Copenhagen
dispatch to the Dally News says Ger
many has mobilized the elephants in
Itagenbcck's menagerie and hns sent
them to Valenciennes for work In heavy
hauling.
LONDON, March It.
Under orders to silence its batteries it
any cost, four British warships nro
n,,,nnii,ir .Imltn nt the Turkish fort
Natnnzleh nt tho entranco to Dardanelles
Narrows, according to latest dispatches
from Athens today.
The battleships aro steaming slowly up
nnd down tho strait, firing at tfamaztch
nt a rango of several miles. Her big
Krupps nro splashing tho war with a rain
of projectiles, while Fort Killd Bahr,
nearer tho water's edge, Interrupts the
duel with an occasional salvo from her
guns.
Kllld Dahr, guarding the Narrows en
trance on the European side, has been
badly damaged. No gunfire has come
from Chanak on the Aslntlc side, opposite
Kllld Dahr. for severnl days. . If the
Allied fleet succeeds In demolishing tho
tfrupp positions on Namazieh, it win
movo Into close range and complete tne
destruction of Kllld Dahr.
All Athens dispatches agreed today that
the Queen Elizabeth and her support ng
warships aro meeting tho sternest kind
of opposition from Namazieh. Twenty
four modern Krupps of vorlous calibres
nro mounted in tho fort's batteries, high
on tho hill overlooking Kllld Bahr. Tho
whole work Is supported by threo bat
teries, each mounting four guns. Gor
man olllcers aro believed to be directing
tho artillery fire.
British and French aviators, acting as
range-llndcrs for the bombarding ficot,
havo suffered several mishaps, It was re
ported hero today. Treacherous nlr cur
rents sweep over tho strait and mako tho
work of reconnoitring doubly dangerous.
From the canyon separating Kllld Bahr
nnd Chanak nn nlr blast awecps upward
with a rush as If from a chimney. Aftor
a series of near-tragedies, flight, com
manders ordered a cessation of operations
over the narrows entrance. Avlaturs re
ported that a big fleet of transpprts had
passed through tho Sea of Marmora, mak
ing It apparent thnt tho Turkish army
wns being reinforced,
Tho difficulties of the warships at
tempting to reduce Fort Namazieh have
thorcby been Increased. Firing has been
heard from the direction of Smyrna for
21 hours, according to dispatches from tho
lslnml of Tenedos. It was rumored nt
Athens thnt Itenr Admiral Plerse, com
manding tho British stpjndron, has con
sented to u suspension df hostilities to
Rive noncombntants time to leave
Smyrna.

Nothing Mumbles
But BricKs
By Arthur Train & Albert Herter
MISS CAVIA BENDER, high princess of the neurotic
and tommyrotic in Art and Letters, is the heroine of
this absurdly funny satire on the "new" movements in paint
ing: and in writing. What Messrs. Gilbert & Sullivan did to
the Sunflower cult of 1880, in Patience, Messrs. Train &
Herter do to their successors of the present period. A whole
some love story runs through the satire and the nonsense.
