beN. bcrfy Addresses Union Meet
ing at South Church.
The work OF sprea ding religion in
France was described to large audi
ence at the South church last night by
Rev. George T. Berry, secretary of the
American organization of the McAll
Mission. Rev. Dr. G.. w. c. Hill pre-
sided, II being a union meeting of the
city's churches.
The dwelling places in the poorer
parts of France are many mikes apart
and separated by water, so that the
missionaries are unable to accomplish
their work with rapidity and the liter
ature essential to gospel teaching is
distributed by means of boats.
1--WE are working not to make
Protestants, but to make Christians"
said Rev. Berry, and it Is gratifying to
note that the work of the mission
alcng this line of endeavor is meet
ing with good results" The mission
co-operates with the authorities in
times Of hardship in giving relief.

London, April 27-Land, sea and air
forces of the allies have begun a
general attack on the Dardanelles.
Announcement of this fact is con-
tanned in a brief report issued by the
war office and admiralty, which sim
ply says that in spite of serious OPP
position, troops have been success

Gallipoli peninsula and that their ad-

The allied airmen are playing an
important part in the operations, in
locating positions and dropping bombs
on the Turkish guns and trenches and
directing the fire of the warships
which are covering the landing of the
troops.
The Russians are doing their share
by making a demonstration against
the forts at the Black sea entrance of
the Bosporus.
The war office announcement reads
as follows:

100000 British There?
New York. April 27.-Private ad-
vices received in New York from
London convey a report current in
England that Earl Kitchener's new
army to the number of 100000 and
even 10000 men is in the Aegean.
1t was supposed these troops, which
have been leaving British shores in
large numbers, were going to the con
tinent, but observers who have re-
turned from the British front in
France have commented on the fact
that none of Kitchener's army is
there, and it is known that thousands
of them have left England during the
last six or eight weeks. A recent
dispatch from Egypt disclosed that
Gen. Ian Hamilton of the British
army was in command of an eXpedi-
tionary force destined for European
Turkey composed of British and
French troops.

WILSON RE6UKES THE
GERMAN AMBASSADOR
Reply 10 Protest is Kindly but Firmly
Worded--None Of Neutrality
Rights Yielded.

Washington, April 23.-The United
States will not apply an embargo on
arms or change its neutrality laws
during the progress Of the war.
This is the answer of President VIII
son to the memorandum submitted by
Count Won Bernstorif, the German am
bassador impugning the good faith Of
the United States in the enforcement
Of its neutrality.
The note, which was drafted by
Counselor Lansing and amended by
the president, is a calm and dignifed
reputation Of the charge made by the
ambassador IL rejects the ambassa-
doris proposals to establish an EN-
barge on arms and to use this coun-
try's export trade as a means to com
pei England to permit foodstuns to
reach Germany
1t proclaims the policy Of the United
States to be, as it has been, the up
holding OF It's right as against any and
all belligerents and the enforcement Of
the laws OF neutrality which were In
force at the time the war began.
Moreover, the president asserts that
any change Of the principle involved,
such as the German ambassador sug-
gested, would be a direct violation of
American neutrality.
The communication is courteous and
polite. The president shows his view
that ii would have been more in keep
ing with the proprieties had the am
bassador mentioned several matters
connected with the general subject of
American neutrality which he failed
to mention and that the ambassador
stepped beyond the bounds when he
sought TO take up with the United
States questions this government is
discussing with Great Britain.

Paris, April 27.-"Whole regiments
of German troops have been destroyed
in the futile attempt to capture
Ypres," says a dispatch received from
st. Omer. After recovering from the
first terrific attack of the German
hosts, the allied troops stood their
ground like stone walls, literally ami

diers who were hurled forward.
AT the first sign of wavering in the
German attack the British and French
troops opened a counter-attack. This

The sudden drive by the Germans

Germans to reach the coast-that by
