FIERCE FRONTIER FIGHTING
About Larissa an Advantage Said to
Be With the Turks

NEW YORK, April PA dispatch to
the Journal from Athens says: The
war on the frontier continues with un-
abated fury, and all along the line
from the Gulf of Salonica on the east
to the Gulf of Arta on the west a des-
perate struggle is going on for the mas
terry. The advance of the Turkish
forces on Tyrnavo has not been seri-
ously checked, though from Greek
sources come many claims of victories
These, however, are of small import
compared to the information that the
Turks are investing Tyrnavo. Tyrna-
Vo is about three leagues northwest Of
Larissa and was depended upon by the
Greeks to seriously hamper any at
tempt that would have been made by
the Turks to approach Larissa. I'm
mediately after their disastrous defeat
at Milouna Pass, the Greeks fell back
to Tyrnavo, but the Turks closely fol-
lowed them and began a vigorous can
nonading of the position. Tyrnavo's
fall will make it next to impossible for
the Moslem advance upon the Greek
military base at Larissa to be stopped.
LarisSa is poorly fortified, and it may
become necessary for the Greeks to
precipitate a pitched battle with the
Turks on the plains that lie between
LarisSa and the Macedonian frontier
If such an event occurs it will be the
greatest military struggle in the his
tory of the world.
A Greek force, after terrific battle,
has managed to get through to the
plains of Damasi, in Macedonia, mean
time bombarding and destroying the
small village Of Vig1a, half a dozen
Turkish batteries and killing over 200
Turks. The Greek loss was light
About 300 Turks were taken prisoners
at Vigla. The pass at Reveni, a few
miles northwest of Tyrnavo, where
there are as many as 10000 Turks un-
der the personal direction of Edhem
Pasha, has been the scene of the fierc-
est fighting of the war. This horde of
Moslems, singing and chanting war
songs, reach from Reveni to Boughese.
and for the past three days have un-
remittently endeavored to obtain
free road to the Thessalian plains.

rection of Prince Constantine. have as

Turkey and argued that Turkey was
not compelled TO go to war because or
the incurSion Of a few insurgents
whom nobody could have restrained.
Continuing King George said: "The
truth is. we were attacked because
Turkey was ordered to attack US.
There never would have been war bur
for certain intrigues which will ap-
pear later. All the powers are more
or less against US. If they wanted war
they have got 1t. Such is the result
of the European concert. Europe must
understand that after forcing US to
war there can be no question: OF limit
ing it. Our fleet is destined to take
an important part, as will soon be
learned. Greece understands that she
must either be victorious or disap-
pear. The war may be prolonged and
bloody, but it is now too late to stop.
A great crime has been committed
against right and humanity in the
Cretan question and the chaStisement
has now commenced"

DRAYTON, N. D., April 21.-The
effect OF the fierce storm OF Sunday
along the flooded districts is found to
be fully as bad as was feared. Reports
continue to come in Of the loss cf build
1ngs, stock, seed grain, provisions and
household effects. Nine farmers out of
every ten in the entire valley about
here have lost everything, and are in
destitute condition.
On the last trip Of the steamer Grand
Forks some $50 persons were assisted
with food and clothing. Some of the
farmers were able and willing to pay
for what they needed and were sup
piled at cost. Others were not so for
tunate and were supplied at the ex-
pense of the donors The cheerfulness
and contented way in which the ma
1crity of the flood sufferers were max
ing the best of it, was something re-
markable. In many cases whole fam
lies had been perched in the top of
their barns for nearly week. One
farmer had built a platform above the
floor some five feet, and in the space
between the platform and the ceiling.
three feet above, his family were keep
ing house as contentedly as could be.
The river has widened out over many
miles and is in appearance a veritable
sea. In the Snake river country the
water over the prairie farms is from
point the steamer was nearly two miles
from the river channel, and the least
water found by sounding was five feet.
Many of the people along the river are
greatly in need Of clothing
All along the river, on both Sides for
a width Of twenty miles or more the
relief expedition saw houses, half sub
merged, topple over by the fierce gale
of Sunday, barns and stacks in ruins
and stock dead. At Knoxs Landing,
thirteen families were furnished with
the necessaries Of life The settlers
there are mostly Poles and on top Of
an alleged house was a queer outfit,
comprising women, men, children, cat
tie, horses hogs, cats and dogs-three
Of the latter. Cooking and all ordi-
nary affairs Of everyday life seemed to
be moving along as usual. The timber
about sixty miles below the Forks dis
appears on the Dakota side and still
more extensive areas of water can be
observed, covering some Of the best
farms in North Dakota to a depth OF
three feet. The general appearance
Of the country here simply beggars all
description. 1t was almost possible to
reach Grafton by steamboat by going
directly across the country.

the insurgents and feared they were
preparing to take some action calcu-
lated to lead to serious complications.
The Italian consul gathered the impress
sion that an attack was meditated on
the positions occupied by the interna-
ticnal troops. Col. Vassos declared
that he would not hesitate to attack
Canea if ordered to do SO by the Greek
government. But, he added that in
such an event he would give due no.

HALLOCK, Mimi, April 21-Many
settlers have come from the west Of
here and report the loss of buildings on
the Red as being very large. The high
winds Of Sunday turned the water into
a huge lake, and the waves broke
against buildings, moving them off
their foundations and carrying them
down stream. Mrs. J. p. Johnson, who
lives on the river, had moved into tbs
upper part of her house, and the storm
carried away the kitchen Settlers
tried to rescue her, but could not
reach the house. The only thing that
saved her life was the timber above
the house, which broke the force Of the
waves. Monday the house was reach
ed, but she would not leave it, and she
is still there The wind drove the water
fully mile over the prairie, and farms
became inundated that were previously
high and dry. A good deal of seeded
land will have to be resown
Two settlers are missing, and 1t Is
feared they were drowned, during the
storm. The loss of seed grain stored IN
grainaries will be heavy, and many
farmers will have to be helped.
