TELL STORY OF MASSACRE
Slaughter Of Armenians by Mohamme-

Tiflis, Trans-CaucasIa. - Refugees

Inhabitants of 10 villages near Van,

Paris officially announces the occu-
patton of the village of Kun Kaleh, on
the Asiatic side of the straits, by
French infantry and artillery. That
the Turks offered desperate resistance
to both the landing and occupation,
although they were under the guns of
the French warships, is indicated by
the fact that they delivered seven
counter attacks and employed heavy
gums.

ENGLAND PLANS REPRlsAL
Government Officials Say They Will
Not Forget Cruelty Of Germans
to War Prisoners.

London.-The British parliament is
occupied with discussions Of the treat
ment of British war prisoners in Ger
many. In both houses gratitude was
expressed for efforts the United States
has made to ame1iorate conditions.
Lord Kitchener's speech in the
house of lords, in which he said he
lamented what he was convinced was
German inhumanity toward British
soldiers was the most notable express
sion of the day. There were, however,
equally striking notes In both houses,
notably by Lord Lansdowne, opposi.
ton leader, and Lord Cromer, who e K
pressed regret in the house OF lords
that the British admiralty had seen fit
to segregate captured German submar-
Inc crews, and by Rrcnaier Asquith In
the house OF commons, who declared
that at the end of the val the British
people would exact PREPARATION. No
definite course OF action concerning
the treatment of prisoners was agreed
upon.
In the house Of commons Neil Prim-
rose said that American officials had
visited 16 prison camps in Germany
and that the reports thus far received
had shown improvement in treatment
accorded the British prisoners.
Premier AsQuith said:
"It is a horrible story from every
point Of view-one of the blacklist
spots on even German methods of war,
My object in rising is to say, with all
ond oil dalihorafiOn that VIC

CONTINUE FLANDERS FIGHT


London-The German PUSHES IN
Flanders and the Woevre. where they
claim considerable successes. are be-
lieved to be, forerunners Of another big
effort to break through the allied lines
In the rest.
For many days Belgium has been
sealed from the observation OF neu-
trails. while German rein1orcements are
being moved to the south to take part
In the new offensive, which they hope
Is to carry them to Calais. The attack
In Flanders, originally leveled at the
French. has been transferred to the
British lines held by the Canadians, on
the Immediate right Of the French.
and here for two days the men from
the dominion have been engaged in a
deadly contest with the Germans. The
Germans claim further progress to-
ward Ypres and that British counter
attacks have been repulsed.
The French. on the other hand, de-
clare the allies counter attacks on
tinue with success and that the Brit
ish hold all their positions.
The German attack in the Woevre,
or in the Mouse hills, was directed
against the French positions south
west of Comtbres, and, according to
Berlin, the French suffered a heavy
defeat. Paris, however, says that in
a counter attack the Germans were
driven out Of the French first line,
which they had pushed back.
It is believed that a half million new
German troops have reached Flanders
and that more guns and material are
to be used than were provided for the
original attempts to destroy the allied
armies in the west-attempts which
met with failure both in August and in
October.
In the meantime the eastern front is
enjoying a period of comparative

TWO STRUGGLES ARE VITAL


London.-On the narrow, rocky Gal
lipoli Peninsula In Turkey and on
restricted front stretching northward
from Ypres In Belgium. two Of the
most vital struggles Of the war are In
progress. Neither has reached . stage
which would permit OF . prediction Of
the ultimate result.
In the 0allipoli Peninsula fight. q
picturesque assortment OF allied
troops landed Sunday. supported by
the fire OF the warships, are trying to
batter their way through thousands
Of German-officered Turks In an Ell
fort to force the Dadanelles-the main
gateway Of the Ottoman empipe-and
reach Constantin0ple.
According to the British claim. the
attack is progressing. but q Turkish
communication claims that. although
the allies landed forces at four points,
these forces are being beaten back to
the coast, while the Moslems in the
French ranks are deserving the til
color and casting their lot with thefr
co-religionists.
Equally contradictory are the Off
cial statements concerning the fight
ing in the vicinity of Ypres. 1t would
appear that the German offensive
north Of that city, which brought them
a gain of nearly three miles. has now
reached its limit, and that although
the Germans hold most Of the ground
they gained, the question now is
whether they can retain it.
The British troops are now said to
have taken the offensive and are strik'
ing toward st. Julien, which the Ger
mans captured, while the French on
the British left not only have pushed
the Germans from Lizerne, their new
Judgment on the west bank OF the
canal nearest Calais. but have crossed
the canal and hold Het Sas, on the
east bank.
The German official communica
ton, which records no progress fol
the German troops, admits that the
British took the offensive toward st
Julien, but insists that the successive
attacks broke down.

oND PHASE OF BATTLE.
GENERAL FRENCH REPORTS
Conflict for User Canal Has Been One

mans Strip Belgium for

London.-Field Marshal Sir John
French, commander-in-chief OF the
British forces on the continent, has
announced the conclusion of another
German attempt to break through the
the User canal, which brought about
one of the most s~anguinary battles OF
the war.
In his report to London he says:
"Our operations in conjunction with
the French have definitely stopped the
German attack"
This, however, only brings to an end
the first phase of the battle, for the
allies have yet to win back the ground
lost in the great German sweep. For
this purpose they are now delivering
counter-attacks against the German
lines. Only at one place-Steen.
straate-have the Germans kept their
footing on the western bank of the
canal, while to the north of Ypres the
positions remain much as they were,
the allies making no claims to an ad'
vance there and the Germans report
ing that all British attacks have been
TepulSeu.
To hold these lines the Germans
have brought up further reinforce
ments, and Belgium, behind them, has
been denuded of troops. The towns

Fighting also continues in Cham

capture OF a strong French position in
the Argonne and the Woevre, where
the French say they are progressing,
and in the Vosges, where both sides
claim to be in possession of Hartmans'
W%eilerkopf. It is probable that this
mountain, which commands the plains
of Alsace, has changed hands several
times, and this would account for the
contradictory reports.

RENEW DARDANELlEs FIGHT
General Battle Against the Turkish
stronghold 10 Being Waged by
Land, Sea and Air.

London.-The admiralty and the
war Office has declared that a general
attack on the Dardanelles had begun.
An army, it was said, has been dis
embarked successfully.
The attack is being made by land,
sea and air. The allied airmen are
playing an important part in the opera
tons in locating positions and drop
ping bombs on the Turkish guns and
trenches and directing the fire of the
warships, which are covering the land
ing of the troops. The Russians are
doing their share by making a demon
stration against the forts at the Black
sea entrance of the Bosphorus.
The diplomatic situation with re-
spect to Italy and Greece remains OBJ
scure. 1t is known, however, that con-
v~ersations are still proceeding between
the Germanic allies and Italy and it is
reported that an agreement has been
reported between Rome and the triple
entente.
The position Of Greece may be
cleared up after the visit which Prince
George is paying to Paris and London,
although nothing is likely to happen
until after the general election about
to take place.
Holland. another neutral country
deeply interested in the war, is iso-
lated except by telegraph. the British
having placed an embargo on shipping
although two steamers loaded with
produce arrived at English ports from
Holland recently-while Germany has
closed both her own and the Belgian
borders.
The German action is dictated by
the desire to hide troop movements.
The British action Is not explained ex.
cept by the assumption that the ad.
miralty expects q naval battle with
the German fleet cruising on Helgo'
land.
