an Plots and City Yards.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, March 90 Sufficient
vegetables can be raised on quarter
acre lot TO supply n family of six per-
sons for an entire year if close atten-
tion is given to the rotation and sue
cession Of crops, says the Department
of Agriculture. The same lot will ac-
cOmmodate such permanent crops as
asparagus, rhubarb and small fruits
and berries. if care is taken in arranc-
ing the garden. 1t will provide fresh
vegetables for the summer and enough
fer canning for use in the winter
A smaller area. such as IS found in
the average city backyard, will nc
commodate several of the smaller crops,
such as lettuce. peas, parley, radishes,
beets and onions, all of which are in

FRENCH AlRMEN
BOMBARD METZ
Attack Barracks to East Of
German Stronghold
of StraSsburg.

Paris, March 26.-In the midst Of
the comparative inactivity of artillery
and infantry on the battle line IN
France and Flanders. French aviators
have attacked the German stronghold
at Metz and a barracks east of Strass-
burg. The railway station at Metz was
bombarded. The avators, though sub
iected to a violent fire. returned safely
to their own lines.
The Germans again used their burn
ing liquid in an attack on the French
positions at -Ackerkopf, in Al
SAGE. according to to-night's official
report. 1t is evident. lhowever, that
the French have learned a lesson from
the former attacks Of this nature and
have prepared an adequate defence.

fiery spray did no harm
An artillery duel in the neighbor-
hood of Nieuport and the capture of
German position further south are re-
ported in the official bulletin.
The absence of strong military move
ments along the whole of the western
front. such as has not prevailed for
weeks. leads TO the belief in military
circles that both armies are awaiting
the turn Of events in the Carpathians
before attempting to strike a hard
blow
The British are still resting on their
victory at Neuve Chapelle-a victory
which cost them nearly as dearly in
men as it did the Germans and the
Germans. though they are reported TO
be massinG troops for a fresh offensive.

comparable with their rush of last
fall.
Berlin via London, March 26. The
following official communication was
issued tonight:
Several hostile airmen dropped
bombs on the southern part Of Metz to-
day. They were driven away by our
artillery fire. Three soldiers were
killed, but no material damage was
done"

Christians Report Outrages.

The PRESBYTERIAN Board of Foreign
Missions in this city received yesterday
the following message from Tifiis from
four native Christians. three of whom,
and perhaps the fourth, are natural
lZed Americans:
"Gulpashan destroyed. It's men shot,
women violated. Sixty men taken from
French Mission compound and five from
American mission compound hanged.
Allen beaten. Hanging pole erected IN
French mission yard. Massacre immi-
nent. Implore State Department that

The message was signed by Jesse
Yonan, +. o. Eshoo, Isaac iohannon
and Paul Shimman, all Of whom are
known to the board. Eshoo and Shim-
man, both Americans, left this city Tor
Crumiah five weeks ago. proceeding by

The missionary referred 70 as having
been beaten is f. T. Allen. who was
horn in London. Ontario, and became
a naturalized American. Mr.. Allen has

pounds in Persia.
WOMEN ATTACKED;
MASSACRE FEARED
State Department Stirred to
Active Efforts for PrOtec-
tion of Missionaries.

Washington, March 26.-Alarming re-
ing of sixty men taken from the French
mission and five from the American
mission compound at Gulpashan, Per-
sia, stirred the State Department to-
day TO further efforts to obtain pro-
lection for American missionaries and
refugees in the vicinity of Urumiah,
Persia. where an uprising of Kurds
threatens a general Christian massacre.
Ambassador Morgenthau, at Constan-
tinople, has been twice appealed to by
Secretary Bryan in the last few days
to urge the Turkish government to send
protection to the imperiled section,
and the State Department has received
definite assurances from the Turkish
government that protection will be
rushed to the scene.
1t was learned through the British
Embassy that the British Consul at
Tabriz. Persia, not far from the Uru-
miah district. acting with the Ameri-
can Consul, Gordon Paddock. had ap-
pealed to Russian commanders in the
region near Tifis TO send soldiers to
the rescue Of the helpless Christians.
The Russian generals, it was said, had
delayed action, awaiting orders from
Petrograd.
Hope for Turkish Aid.
In view Of the present efforts Of the
American government to have Turkish
troops sent to the region. it was re-
garded as probable here that no fur
ther effort would be made to get aid
from the Russians. In view of hostili-
tie between Russia and Turkey, aid
from both sides would be impossible.
i was suggested that the consuls at
Tabriz were cautious in getting troops
into the district for fear that their
coming might cause a massacre.
The State Department tonight had
received no official notice OF the de-
struction and outrages at Gulpashan, a
few miles from Urumiah, as reported
to the Presbyterian Board of Foreign
Missio. at New York from native
Christians in Tifis. Secretary Bryan
received an appeal from the Presby-
terian Board to-day, urging him to do
everything possible 20 relieve the sit
uation.
I'VE are not prepared to announce
what we may or can do in the matter"
said Secretary Bryan late in the day.
He gave assurances, however, that the
department was doing everything 1t
coul !. Directions, he said, had been
sent to several American consuls, in
GLIDING Glazebrook, at Jerusalem, and
Paddock, at Tabriz, but nothing had
been heard direct from any consul
Additional directions were cabled TO
Ambassador Morgenthau tonight, for
warding the reports received by the
Presbyterian Board in New York.

FRANCE CLAIMS TO HAVE CLEARED sULGARlANS OUT
 OF VELES DISTRICT.
RUSSIANS ARE ADVANCING
Germany Reported to Have Sent a Part of Gen. won Linsingen's Army to Roumanian Frontier to
 Prevent Further Attack.

London.-The Germans, with their Austrian and Bulgarian allies, are still trying to cut off the retreat of the main Servian army, which is of fering spirited resistance as it re. tires. While Field Marshal von Mack ensens force advances slow.y from the north. the Austrians have crossed the western border of Servia south of Vishegrad and are moving east ward. and the Bulgarians are march ing westward on wide front from Pirot, southeast of Nish, to ZaJecar. northeast of Nish.
 It is a long way across, and the country is difficult to traverse, but the Servians are bound to defend it as long as possible. as their great ar senal at Kraguyevatz is situated iu this area, and they doubtless will hold on with the hope of making ap eventual retirement in the mountains along the Montenegrin frontier, and in that country.
 To forestall this the Austrians also are attacking in Montenegro, but have made little progress, as the Montene grine under their veteran fighting king have had long time to prepare for just such an event, and have beat en off all attacks. In fact, the Monte aegrins hold some strong positions in Austrian territory, out of which they will have to be driven before their own country is invaded.
 There is no change in the southern area of Servia so far as known. A re port that Uskub has been recaptured IS not confirmed The French, how aver, claim to have cleared the Bul garians out of the Veles district This, if true, would render Uskub an unsafe place for the invaders. in the opinion of military men.
 Through the lake district, between Ovinsk and Sventsyany, the Russians are steadily advancing and are ap preaching the Vilna-Dvinsky Railway In the south they also continue har wing the Austro-Germans by frequent .hrusts. Emperor Nicholas and his son are visiting Gen. Ivanoff in this -egion.
 As the Germans are reported tc have sent a part of Gen. von Linsin gems army from this region to the Roumanian frontier to guard against l Roumanian attack on Field Mar shal von Mackensen's forces in Ser via, important events are looked foI along the Styr and in Galicia.

 It was the note now on it's va, which former Secretary Bryan advo cated sending at the same time tha the second Lusitania note was dis patched to Berlin last June. Presi dent Wilson declined to send it a that time because of the fear that tn, United States might be placed in tn, petition of bargaining for it's righti with Germany on the basis of it's atti tude toward Great Britain.
 With the clearing up of the subma rine controversy through the satisfac tory settlement of the Arabic case, i was announced at the o.ate Depart ment that the note to Great Britait would go forward. After three week. of consideration at the White Hous, 1t finally was dispatched,
