EUROPEAN WAR HAPPENINGS
DURING THF LAST WEEK

In spite OF desperate resistance Il is
claimed that the Turks have been
forced back on the Gallipoli peninsula
and that they have suffered loss Of
$4,000 men.
II is estimated that up to noon May
10. POI merchantmen. trawlers and
other craft have been destroyed by
German submarines since the war
blockade went into effect and that the
loss OF lives totalled 1866.
Confiscation OF German owned prop
erty in Great Britain valued at more
than sl.0O0.0O0. 900. was demanded by
England's most influential newspa-
pers.
The British appear to have resisted
successfully all German attacks on
Ypres, while the Belgians have con-
tinued their attacks from the sea to
Dixmude and the French have made
further headway north of Arras.
So far as Galicia Is concerned, the
Austro-German rush seems TO have ex-
hausted itself when the river San was
reached and all the towns on the west
bank OF that river. including Jaroslau.
