RUSSIANS RAID .
EAST PRUSSIA
Cear'i Army Makei Hew Dash Along
Baltic Sea and Captures City
of Nemel.
GERMANS ADVANCE IN POLAND
PETROGRAD, March 19. (Via
London) The campaign In the east
has assumed a new aspect with the
penetration of the northernmost
point of east Prussia by Russian
forces. This Invasion In the north In
many wars parallels the advance into
east Prussia ot two months ago, when
the Russian Tenth army, which it
was thought might flank the German
positions near the Masurian lakes,
was defeated and driven out On
this occasion, however. Russian mili
tary authorities say unanimously that
the Invasion does not possess a like
strategic significance. The Russian
force his penetrated east Prussia to
within twelve miles ot the Important
seaport of Memel.
(The official report from Berlin today,
evidently bawd on latr Information, says
that the Russian have entered Memel.)
Germavn Attack Shift.
Of equal Importance is the gene ral shift
ing of directions of the German attack
In Poland, accompanied by new concen
tration of forces which ha now becomes
apparent. Although fighting is still m
progress to the north of Prsasnyss the
Germans apparently have abandoned their
effort .to break through the fortified line
In the north and approach Warsaw from
that direction. They are transferring
troopa to the southern bank of the Vis
tula, presumably in preparation for a
resumption of the attack along the front
t the west ot 'ttarsaw. near the Biura
river, where for two months they vainly
hammered the strong line ot Russian de
fences which separates them from the
Polish capital. Heavy and continued ar
tillery fire Is now under way, marking
the beginning of this fresh German move
ment. Tnrklah Port f'aptnred.
Occupation fcy the Russians of Ar
chawa, a Turkish port on the Black Hea
mar the Russian border through wh"lch
the Turks have been receiving supplies
and reinforcements, has caused an Im
portant movement In the Caucasian campaign-
The Russian victory, together
with the continual pounding in the valley
of the Teorok river, has caused the Turks
tc beat a disorderly retreat toward Erxe
rum, according to telegraphic reports
from the Caucasus. The road between
A r chawa and Choppo to tho eastward
was defended strongly and the Turks
were defeated only after a series of
stubborn battles. The Russian advance
created a panic throughout the Tchoruk
valley and the Inhabitants fled to the
mountains, abandoning their villages.
Partial Victory In Arnitiilt. ,
In recent fighting In Russian Armenia
partial victory over the Turks is claimed
- here-, although mountain heights In the
district ot Ardanuch are strongly fortified
and are etill holding out The Russians
re bombarding Turkish positions at
Ardanuch. The fortifications were built
and the defense' Is being conducted, It Is
reported, by a German officer.
A telegram from'Vrumlah, Northwest
ers Persia, says that prior to the evacua
tion of towns between Juflajand Tabrli,
the Turks and Kurds who were retreating
before the Russian advance, pillaged and
burned the villages and put to death
some of the inhabitants. At Salinas, Pag
Vduk and fiarna orders are said to have
been given by the Turkish commissioner
for the destruction of the towns. All
the Armenian Inhabitants of Antvat were
. . collected and, according to this message,
COO males were put to death tnd the
women, after being compelled to embrace
the Mohammedan faith, were driven
into parties and sent to various Interior
" towns.

MARTIAL LAW IS
NEEDED IN INDIA
Member of Viceroy's Council Tells
Commons Military Authorities
Should Be Given Powers.
HOLY WAR SHOWING ITS EFFECT
DELHI. India, March 19. (Via
txndon.) Sir Reginald Henry Crad
dock, member of the viceroy's coun
cil, has made declaration that It was
necessary to arm the military author
ities with special powers to set in
emergencies and nip In the hud an
and all manifestations of lawless
ness. This statement was made la
connection with the Introduction of
the defense of India's hill to the gov
ernor general's counsel.
' Continuing Sir Reginald alluded to the
I'campalgn engineered on the Faclfla
coast of America, whence some deluded
men had returned during the last few
months with their minds poisoned and
lisd committed acts of violence in Ben
gftl." Seditious activity was breaking out
afresh, the speaker said, but the looting
in the western punjab he declared to be
largely due to economic causes and racial
conflicts between Hindus and Mohamme
dans. The danger, he said, was only
serious it not checked promptly.
Dispatches from Constantinople In De
cember sitld tho proclamation of the Mo
hummedan holy war was beginning to
uliow its effect In India. Revolutionary
proclamations wero being circulated
among native troops, and In Bo'nbay
there hnd been fatsl rioting.
Last year a group of Hindu emigrants
v. ere refused permission to land In Can
ada. Vpon landing at Calcutta they In
dulged In rioting and sixteen ot the
Hindus were killed.
Last month an Indian regiment re
volted at Singapore on Its way to Fgypt
Four hundred of the rebels were killed
beforo order was restored.
Ileransr Swltehe Groh,
Charley Hoi log of the Reds having
found that he could switch to a new po
sition in the Infield and make good at it,
