Later he was allowed to establish his house. hold gods at Constantinople, where Abdurrazzad was born, and he died at Damascus, the grandson, after being secretary of the Turkish embassy at Petrograd in 1892 and master of cere- monies at the Constantinople court, engaged in a palace plot ten years ago. Together with two brothers and an uncle, he passed four years in a Tripoli prison with heavy ball and chain attached to his leg under a suspended sentence of death. The Turkish revolution brought freedom and Abdurrazzak shared the honey moon of Turkish constitutionalism with the Young Turks for seven months He then formed the plan of separating Kurdistan from Turkey and went to Russia to seek support. After five years there he came to Per sia to establish relations with his grandfather's subjects.

LONDON, June /. - If the Ger mans have transferred troops from the east to the west, as reported, they have held sufficient on the east front to continue without relaxation the of, fensive that carried them and the Aus trians almost across Galicia.
 The forces which compelled Prze- mysl to surrender are battering their was eastward, and according to both German and Austrian official state ments, at one point in the southeast, are hardly more than 60 miles from the Russian frontier.
 The troops which swept through Stry have continued farther east until they are 30 miles beyond that town and equally beyond Lemberg, a posi- ton which appears perilous. Farther north they are IS miles east of Prze- mysl. so roughly speaking, the en- circling movement on Lemberg is duplicating that of Przemysl.
 The Germans also are on the often sive in the Baltic provinces and their official statement records the crossing of the River Windau, southeast Of Libau. There is hard fighting and heavy losses on both sides, notably north of Arras, where the French seem determined to nibble their way forward. Fighting continues in the west but the contests are hardly more than trench warfare contrasted with the fighting in Galicia.
