"The situation on the Gallipoli pc

great respect for our offensive, and

"On the night of the 11th-12th Of

included the killing of many snipers.

in spite of bombs, in the captured po
sition.
ION the morning of the 18th a
counter attack was made by the
Turks, who rushed forward with
bombs, but coming under the fire OF
the naval machine gun squadron were
annihilated. OF the fifty who attack

WORKING TO

FINDS FAVOR n BERLIN
The Impression Is Growing That Ger

many Would Welcome a Movement
For Peace From a Neutral Power.
Reports that the United States had
declined to become a party to efforts
in various neutral countries to make
peace in Europe were said by Presi-
dent Wilson to be untrue.
The president said the Washington
government had4 done everything that
legitimately could be done to encour-
age any movement that might lead to
peace or an accommodation Of inter
ests in Europe.
The president said Colonel House,
who recently investigated peace pros
poets in Europe, had not been sent for
by him, but he expected to see the
colonel soon. At present Colonel
House is visiting a daughter in Mas
sachusetts.
The impression is growing in Wash
ington that Germany is disposed to
look with favor on a tangible move
ment for peace from one or another
OF the neutral powers.
The attitude Of the more moderate
of the German newspapers toward the
latest Wilson note, the sending of DR..
Anton Meyer-Gerhard to Berlin as the
special envoy OF Ambassador Won
Bernstorff, the constant springing up
of peace suggestions in various quar-
ters in reports which Berlin hears"
from outside, all point to a movement
believed by some officials to have its
source in Germany looking to the
time when peace may be more openly
discussed among the powers now at
war.
It is believed that German officials
are pleased with President Wilson's
latest note because they think it af'
fords opportunity for further discus
sion, in the course of which other /
principles involved in the maritime
war with Great Britain may be linked
with the submarine issue raised by
the United States.
All information in Official quarters
tends to indicate that a positive yes
or no answer to the presidents de-
mands is hardly to be expected from
Berlin. According to this, it has al
ways been the intention of the Ger
man government to make the discus
sion with the United States the We
hicle for conveying to the world her
propaganda for changing the rules OF
maritime warfare in such a way as to
decrease the value of a sea power
such as Great Britain is now exercis.
ing.
President Wilson was asked just
what the changes were to which VIII
liam Jennings Bryan referred as hav
ing been made in the note to Ger
many after his resignation as secre'
tary of state had been accepted, but
the president felt it was best for him
not to discuss the resignation or other
questions connected with it.
