Not Believed the Greeks Have Captured
Nicopolis.
LONDON, May l7.-Except for the
fighting In Epirus the Turco-H Hellenic
situation is virtually unchanged. 1t is
tOlerably certain that only a few Greek
troops remain III Domokos, the bulk of
Constantine's army having withdrawn
to Lamla.
The fighting in Epirus has been in
decisive. Is believed that Nicopolls
is not yet captured, but only the
heights commanding the town. The
Greeks made a pretext of the protection
of the peasants, but they evidently
have information as to the reasons for
the apparent inactivity of the Turkish
army IN Epirus. This is the seventh
time the Greeks have attempted to adj
vance to Janina and have met with a
repulse which the Turks have never
followed VI.

tions May Delay itace
Negotiations.

ATHENS, May IA private dispatch
from Arta, just received here, says
that the Turkish garrison at Prevesa at
the northern entrance of the gulf of
Aria, which has been besieged by the
Greek land and sea forces, almost
from the beginning of the war,
has sent the Greek archbishop
and five notabilities Of Prevesa to the
commander Of the besieging Greek
army with a message saying tn at the
Turkish force is ready to capitulate to
the regular forces of Greece.
' ARIA, May 17.-Desperate fighting
has been in progress all day near
Griboro, on the road to Fillippidia
Two brigades Of Greeks, with many
guns, two companies Of Sappers and
a squadron Of cavalry, attacked the
Turks, who were almost without artil-
lery. The Greeks forced the first
Turkish line of defense, but met with
a stubborn resistance al the second.
At 8 p. nj. the fighting ceased, the
Greeks having occupied various heights
in the ne%ighborhood. Twenty-Five
officers and 400 men are hors du COM
bat.
Since A. o'clock p. m. the gunboat
1otilla has been attacking Nicopolis
from inside the gulf of Ambracsia with
a simultaneous attack proceeding from
the land side. The Turkish batteries
replied vigorously and resisted the at.
tack, The coming ON of darkness
stopped the engagement.
All the Greek efforts are now con.
centrated upon capturing Nicopolis
and Prevesa before advancing to PEN
tepigadia.

and Lumber company, was found on
one of the residence streets along the
lake shore. There were two bullet
wounds, and a revolver was found by
his side. Diamonds and jewelry were
found on his person, but no money.
The location of the wounds makes it
rather doubtful whether it is a case OF
suicide. When Clark left his hotel in

COMPLEXITIES MATTERS.
Resumption of Fighting Hampers Peace
NeRotiRtiOns.

Resumption of Fighting Hampers Peace
Negotiations
LONDON, May Is. The correspondent
of The Times at Athens says: The re-
sumption of offensive operations in
Epirus greatly complexities the situa.
ton and tends to hamper the negotia-
tons for peace. The evident intention
of the Greek commanders is to capture
the Turkish positions there in order to
show that they have not been defeated.
In an interview, NJ. Ralli, the pre-
mier, repeated his statement that hu-
manitarian motives are responsible for
the advance on Epirus, but he aid not
deny the advantages which might be
hoped for from the capture of Prevesa
and the occupation Of the adjoining
Turkish territory.
Greeks Still at War.
I'VE are still at war;" he said, land
until an armistice is concluded Greece
retains her liberty of action. We can.
not allow our activity to be confined to
Thessaly, where the Turks are prepon-
derant. The powers have hindered US
in Crete, but Greece canno be barred
everywhere nor compelled to restrict
her operations to a limited area"
The government apparently thinks
that a renewal Of the war will hasten
instead of retard the armistice. This
calculation may prove to be correct,
but it is more likely that Turkey will
seize upon it as an excuse for delaying
the armistice and will deal a crushing
blow in Thessaly.

Is now gathering missionary recruits
Tor that mysterious country, says that
men and women who understand medi-
cine will be most successful in that

sition of women, according to Miss Tay-
lor, is higher in Tibet than in any
other country of the orient, save per-
haps Mongolia. In place OF polygamy,
