BERLIN, September 16.-The 1oretsh
office has Just issued in English a
memorial against the employment OF
colored troops in the European theater
of the war by France and Great
Britain on the ground that they nave
brought with them savage practlces OF
warfare of their native countries.
The memorial charges the Africans
and Hindoos with numbering the wound

and even severing the heads from
bodies as war trophies.
These charges are supported by nu-
merous documents. consisting partly of
reproductions of letters and dalrles
found on dead French soldiers or
French prisoners and partly of affi-
davits of German officers and soldiers
and German women living in France
when the war broke out, and also one

ALLIES WEST LINES MPREGNABLE
RUSSIANS INTACT AND TURK ARMIES
ARE BREAKING, SAYS KITCHENER
British Minister of War Announces Eleven New Divisions
Have Joined Gen. French-Says Germans
Have Shot Bot-Hints at Conscription

LONDON, September 16.-Ta king an
optimistic view of the general war sit
uation as it affects the allies, Earl
Kitchener. secretary of war, has just
addressed the house of lords.
Earl Kitchener made the interesting
disclosure that the German attacks with
gas. liquid fire and asphyXiating shells,
lacking. as they now do. the element
of surprise. have failed in their object
and have lost much of their offensive
value owing to the steps taken to coun-
teract them.
Lifting the veil of secrecy. he an
nounced that eleven divisions of the
new army had reinforced Field Marshal
French's force in France and others
would follow quickly. He, too. spoke
optimistica1ly of the situation on the
various fronts, expressing the opinion
that 'the Germans have shot their
bolt in their offensive against Russia
without achieving their object of de-
stroying the Russian army.
AS far as the Turks were concerned,
Lord Kitchener said, there was an
abundance of evidence of "the process
of decentralization having set in In
Mesopotamia the resistance of the
Turks had terminated.
Without referring directly to con-
scrlption, the war minister said pro-

this area. The arrival of transports
and the Decentralization of troops in
Suvla bay was designed to enable troops
to support this attack. Unfortunately,
however, the advance from Suvla bay
was not developed quickly enough, and
the movement forward was brought to
q standstill after an advance of about
two and one-half miles.
THE result was that the troops from
AnZac were unable to retain their po-
sition on the crest of the hills, and
after being repeatedly counter-at-
tackled they were ordered to withdraw
to positions lower down. These posi-
tions have been effectively consolidated

Military Operations.

regarding military operations, the
war secretary said:
For the last few months the front
held by the allies in the west has been
practically unchanged. This does not
mean that there has been relaxation
of active work on the part of the forces
in the field, for the continuous local
fighting which has taken place all
along the line has called for the dis
play of incessant vigilance.
"MeanThile our positions have been
much strengthened, not only by careful
elaboration of the system CT trench forti-
tications that already existed. but also by
a large increase in the number of heavy
guns which have been placed along our
lines.
The Germans recently on several oc-
casions used gas and liquid fire. and have
bcmbarded our lines with asphyxiating
shells. but these forms of attack lacking
as they now do the element of surprise,
have failed in their object, and lost much
of their offensive value owing to steps
taken by US to counteract the effect of
these pernicious methods

considerable reinforcements having
arrived. a surprise landing on a large
scale at Suvla bay was successfully ac-

AT the same time an attack was
launched by the Australian and New

and a strong offensive was delivered
from Cape Helles in he direction of

troops played a prominent part and
showed to high advantage their usual

From the latter position further
attack on the Turkish entertainments
was delivered on the 21st, but after
several hours of sharp fighting it was
not found possible to gain the summit
of the hills occupied by the enemy, and,
the intervening space being unsuitable
for defense, the troops were withdrawn
to their original position.
Since then comparative quiet has
prevailed and much-needed rest has
been given to our troops.

Called Defeats in Disguise.

TO sum up. We may fairly say that,
while the Germans have prevailed by
sheer weight of guns and at immense
cost to themselves in forcing back the
Russian front, nothing but barren ter
ritory and evacuated fortresses have
been gained. Thus their strategy has
clearly failed and the victories they
claim may only prove, as military his
tory has so often demonstrated, to be
defeats in Disguise
Dwelling on Italy's part in the war,
Earl Kitchener said:
The achievements of the Italian ar
tillery have been truly remarkable,
and the manner in which heavy pieces
We're hauled into almost inaccessible
positions on lofty mountain peaks
and in spite of great difficulties evokes
universal admiration. The Italian army
nowO occupies strategic positions of

duct of the infantry of the line in ac-

the great military value of the Italian
army. while the bold feats of Alpine

Il am sure we all fully realize that
the strength of the armies we are
sending out must be fully maintained
to the very end. To fulfill this purpose
we shall require a large addition to
the numbers of recruits joining. The

Thus we see the Russian army re-

had been subjected during recent
months, but the German forces also
had to pay heavy toll for their ad-
vance into Russia, and who will ven

1T must not be forgotten that Russia,
with her vast territory, always has
been able ultimately to envelop and

this she certainly is no less capa BILE to-
day than she was century ago. AS re-
CARDS the net result. all that the Ger
mans can place to their credit is that
at an enormoos sacrifice they have cap
turned certain fortresses. But our re-

The provision to keep up their
