DARDANELLES MUST BE WON TO THE ALUES
Can Mord to Lose Ships and Sacrifices Will Continue to the End
LiOndon.   'March     20.—Commander
Carlyon Bellairs, the naval expert, discussing fhe latest situation in tho Dardanelles .said today: "The allie;; have a large margin of naval su- premacv and can aff:>rd to los? ships. pro\1ided the joperafion^ ultimately are successful. There is not the slightest reason to dT>ubt that the operations will be successful. Tho only question uppermost in my fiiind Is w-hether there should not havo been a more direct attack all through with proportionately increased l-o9se.« in order fo force the straits in a shorter time
"The .npparent im.nunity enjoyed hy the slow-er and more deliberato operations has two great disadvan¬ tages w-hich arc not so obvious. One is tho tising up of the lives of guns, fco as to become less and lcs.s effici¬ ent and the other is the time given (he shore batteries to repair dam¬ ages.
"It is very prob.ible that the or¬ iginal plan of the allies counted on tho assistance of the Greek army been available, being the nearest army  on the spot.
"But one can be sure w-o will hear that within a short while that operations will be more successful. T expect very sjon to hear that the Russians have not been idle at the other  end   of  the  strait?"

London, Alarch 20.—The London Times in an editorial on the .\nglo- .^meiican correspondence w-ith refer¬ ence to the "blockade" .says: "Xoth¬ ing could bo more aaficfartory, nor on tha w-hole can objection be taken to the character of the American criticism that the order in council. The temperato tone of Dr. Page's note and the conciliatory and ooui-- tcoue Spirit on both sides inspire con¬ fidence that any difficulties which may arise in giving effect to the order Will b^ quickly overcome.

HEROIC SACRIFICE MADE IN   PARENTS' ABSENCE
Heroism of an ennobling kind was displayed by seven- year-old Annie Yucani, of Whitewash, East Plymouth, yester¬ day afternoon when she sacrificed her life in an attempt to save the home that in the absence of her father and mother had been left in her care. When a sparic from a passing switch engine of the Delaware & Hudson company fired some paper in the back yard of the Yucani home, communicating to ja pile of rubbish and threatening to destroy the little house jthe child attacked the blaze single-handed and succeeded in extinguishing'it only after the flames had caught her clothes.
^ Neighbors heard the little girl scream and found her a blazing torch. Dr. John Connole, of Plymouth, was called and at the same time a summons was sent to the undertaking rooms of Harry F. Mooney, this city. Dr. Connole gave first aid treatment and when the Mooney auto ambulance arrived ithe little victim was taken to Mercy hospital where she died at six o'clock. Her bums were so serious and covered so much of her body that no hope was held out for her from the first.
It wsLS learned that the child, who was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Yucani, had been left alone by her mother for only a short time. The father was at work. The raik-oad tracks run directly in the rear of the house and it was deemed ihat the accident was unavoidable so far as the engine crew or railroad company was concerned. Coroner Marley leist night stated that the matter had been left in the hands of Deputy Coroner Mahon, of Plymouth, but that an inquest probably will not be held.

BECKER BROKE PRISON IS BROADWAY REPORT
¦Washington. March 20.—Official Washington looks for the elimination of Gen. Carranza as a factor in Me.x- ico's affairs. Advices reaching the State Department are to fhe effect that he is disposing his forces in Vera Cru7, for a last st.ind against 'N'iUa. The advices state that the Carranzls- t:;& are digging trenches and fortify¬ ing Vera Cruz with a series of barbed w-ire.«toekades In anticipation of an attack  by  Vllla-Zapata  forces.
The wire entanglerficnfs are set three kilometers north of the city from the beach tn L«igarta on the railroad and w-ill be corttinued to Tejeria. When completed they will circle the city In a semi-cia-cuiar sw-«ep. The Qtiestion that is already occupying the attention of tbe ad¬ ministration in Washington is the ef¬ fect the removal of fhe Carranza will have on Mexico.
So far as can be learned there is nothing on which to Vase the hope that the defeat of Carranza 'oy Villa will moan fhe permanent ascendancy of the latter and peace to the repub¬ lic.
At the present time Villa and Za- lata are in alliance. Ehcperience has shown fhat alliances of Mexican leaders .seldom last when victory is rccomplished and the time arrives when one of fhem is etevated fo a position of supreme power. It is not unusual for the other to lead a revo¬ lution of his ow-n. i
Whether this process of one revolu¬
tion after anothor is to continue Is BomethinS' which officials of tho .State Department admit tTiemselves to prophecy w-ifh any oegrcc of as¬ surance.
The expectation at the State De¬ partment therefore ig that Carranza will flee Mexico just as Huerta did, beiore him. In addition to his activ¬ ity in fortifying Venezuela and giv¬ ing every indication of preparations fvr a stand of .some kind Carranza Is reported to be selling the large quan¬ tities of food supplies which he hai» In storage and demanding gold in re¬ turn   for  them.
While the Carranza agency hera s.iy.^ of this also thaf if is for the pur¬ pose of raisins money fo strengthen tlie defences thero it^ a rtrong belief in AVashington that Carranza Ts con¬ verting every available ,a.«.'?eL info the most liquid form of inono.v as a pre¬ liminary step to changing his address to a couniry w-here Mexican currency docs not pass as legal fender. Carranza Releases Clergy.
General Carranza has ordercrt thft release of Vicar General Pcrades and Ctmon Ifcrrer, members of th-^ Roman Catholic clergy of Mexico city, who were arrested by Gen. Obregon and sent to Vera Cruz as prisoners. Th* State Department ha.« no news today in the case of ;John D. Mcffanus. who w-as assassinated b.v Zapatistas last Thursday a week ago and for whose death Immediate ideninlty ftnd reparation had been asked by :Minis- tcr Palafox.
