London, April 27.-What some mill
tary critics are inclined to pronounce
the greatest battle of the war" is
now under way on the User canal.
Official reports are both meager and
contradictory, but it generally is be-
lieved in London that the Germans
again are making desperate efforts to
break through to the French channel
ports.
Some such recrudescence of the
German offensive has been anticipat-
ed by the war experts, but this move
ment, forestalling the long predicted
allied offensive, comes as distinct
shock to the general public.
1t is impossible as yet to get a
clear idea of the extent of tie Ger
man movement, but some special dis
patches to London papers describe it
as so important that the Germans are
credited with bringing Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg from the east to con-
duct the operations, and Emperor
William himself is reported as pro-
ceeding to the User front.
In the eastern arena of hostilities
the Carpathians compete with the
User for interest. The exit into Hun
gary formed by the Uzsok pass again
is becoming the scene of sanguinary
fighting, with neither side making any
great gains. Warsaw, as German
objective, is dimmed by the impor.
tance of keeping the Russians out OF
Hungary and the Germans are report
ed as withdrawing their lines from
in front of the Polish capital for new
concentration along the fronts OF
Cracow and in the Carpathians.
The fair way between England and
Holland still is being kept clear OF
commercial shipping. Operations in
the North sea are still deep mys

HORRIBLE FLIGHT

Terrible Experience of Ref

LIVING ENVIED THE DEAD

Casualties During Journey to Russian
Border Numbered Hundreds and
Those Who Perished Were Consd-

Diltman, Persia, April 27.-Madden-
ed women threw their children into the
Araxes river or into pools to end suf-
fering from cold and hunger in the
terrible exodus of 10000 or 10000
Armenians and HISTORIAN Christians
from Azerbaijan province, rumors of
which have been confirmed. More
than 1,500 unable to flee have been
massacred by the Mohammedans,
1000 have died from disease in the
compounds of the American mission
in Urumiah, and as many more refu-
gees in the Caucasus have lost their
lives by sickness.
When it became known that the
Russian forces had left Urumiah 10,-
600 Christians fed, most of them
without money, bedding or provisions.
A majority of the people started
out afoot, through mud knee deep
across the mountain passes in freez-
ing weather At Diltman they were
joined by many more from Salinas
plain. But for Father de Cross of the
Roman Catholic mission at Hosrova
near here, the disaster might have
become historic. After assuring the
safety of the sisters of the mission
Father de Cross Joined the pilgrims
and managed to procure bread and
shelter for many of them. The cara

the mud and snow. Children were
