DERNBURG SHARP IN
 CRITICISM OF PRESS
 OF UNITED STATES
Cites Comment of American News papers on Use of Asphyxiating
 Gas in His State mont

New York, April 21.-Dr. Bernard Dern- burg. former colonial secretary of the German empire. in statement issued here today, sharply criticized the attitude of the American press in the war. and cited specifically the comment of American newspapers on reports of the use of as- phyxiating gases
 Early In November of last year." says the statement, Hong reports were pub lished of an astounding French invention for the purpose of asphyxiating enemies by nauseating gases contained In the shells. All details were given and a great deal was made of the probable effects on the foe, and the ending of the war in favor of the allies, in consequence of this invention. was predicted with q great deal of satisfactions
 No exception has been taken to that use in America No inquiry has been ad- dressed to fnSs%'renen eorrespondents of. the papers, whether the news was true or not No denial of thees charges, how ever often repeated, has been made by the allies. But as soon as the Germans used the same Kind of weapon Tn the battle around Ypres the denunciation of Ger many for following the practice of her ad- versaries has been rampant, and the most invective sort of epithets have been em- ployed. The rights of nations have been violated. and The Hague conference was called into the field again to prove the ut ter disregard of all rules of civilized war fare by my country.
 This is exactly what Germany com plains of, that the press of this country very often measures with two standards: that what is sauce for the goose is not sauce for the gander. This is why Ger mans protest, and why they do not be- lieve in the impartiality of public opin- ions in this country. and why they do not take kindly to the attitude of the United States to play a mediating role in the present world struggle"

I. c. c. FORBIDS RATE
 OF SIXTY CENTS ON
 ORE IN MINNESOTA
Pronounce Rate Unreasonable and Compel Carriers to Restore Fifty-Five Cents as Maxi
 mum Charge

Washington, April 27.-The existing rate of 60 cents per long ton on iron ore from mines on the Mesaha range in Minnesota to vessels at Two Harbors and Duluth, Minn, and Allous bay. Wis, was pro- nouneed unreasonable today by the inter- state commerce commission and the Great Northern and other roads were ordered to establish rate not more than 55 cents
 The case is one of the most important decided by the commission in several months The Great Northern alone car ried more than 100000 long tons of ore to docks from Minnesota mines in 1913.
 The report says the United States Steel corporation indirectly controls the Duluth and Iron Range Railroad company. and the Duluth Misaba and Northern Railway company, and owns the larger portion of ore shipped over them, and that this fact demands strict Interpretation of any standard of reasonableness. which is adopted although the right of these. roads to earn a far return upon tdo property devoted to public use is not questioned '

WOUNDED FRENCH SOLDIERS DECLARE
 GERMANS USE GAS
Say Trenches Filled With Deadly Fumes-Connected Trenches Choked With Fugitives
 From Bombs

Paris, April 27.--d1 a. m.)-Thirty-one wounded French soldiers were brought here today from Ypres. In addition to gunshot wounds they are suffering from inlamed bronchial tubes and their eyes are swollen from the poisonous fumes of the German gas bombs.
 These men say that as soon as they breathed the noxious gases they suffered acutely, their eyes stinging and their throats contracting. Some became un- conscious almost immediately. Others, scarcely conscious, staggered away. The connected trenches were so chobed with fugitives who had fallen unconscious that many soldiers were compelled to climb out and make their way toward the river over the open ground.
 As soon as the Germans perceived this they opened up an intense rifle and ma chine gun fire. It was this fire which caught the wounded brought here today. They were picked up by French reserves who counter attacking, retook the greater part of the evacuated trenches.
 The narratives of the wounded differ Physicians attribute this to the psycholog- ical effects of wholly new experience Some say positively that the Germans threw bombs which on exploding distrib- uted the gases, but the majority speak of having observed a thick, lemon-coore6 smoke arising in front of the German trenches and then. hanging close over the earth and propelled by a gentle breeze, crept toward the French breastworks scarcely 100 yards away.
 The physicians believe no permanent harm is likely in the case of those who were not stifled to death. Most of the survivors even will recover without treat ment, although in some cases pneumonia or bronchitis may follow.

UNITED STATES ASKS TURK GOVERNMENT
 TO SAVE AMERICANS
Secretary Bryan Cables Morgenthau to Make Representations in Be half of lmperilled
 Christians

Washington. April 27.-An appeal for relief Of Armenian Christians in Trr- key after massaeres ana further threatened outrages had been report- ed was made to the Turkish govern ment today by the United States
 Acting upon Russia's request, Secre- tary- Bryan cabled Ambassador Nor genthau at Constantinople to make representations to Turkey asking that steps be taken for protection. of i'm perilled Armenians
 Ambassador Bakhmeteff called at the state department late today with a dispatch from the Russian govern ment which included an appeal for aid to President Wilson from the Catholics of the Armenian church at Etchmiad- sin, in the Caucasus. Russia being at war with Turkey could not directly conduct diplomatic negotiations
 .'The request from the head of the Armenian church to this government forwarded through the Russian ambas- sador," said Secretary Bryan, "is the first official notice the edapartment has received of the reported Affnenfsn. massacres. Our action was taken as matter of humanity We notified MT. Morgenthau to submit the, matter 10 the Turkish government. asking that inquiry be made and combining there with request for representations ou' tehalf of the Armenians" K
 Dispatches from Tiflis several da t.go contained first news of atrocities against Armenians in Turkey. Officials here are inclined to the belief that Mohamm edan Kurds, whom Turkish troops several weeks ago drove out of Urumiah. Persia, where outrages had been committed against American and French missionaries and refugees. crossed into Armenia to renew thsir warfare against Christians.
 The Russian embassy today gave out a recent speech by the minister of for eign affairs in the Duma in which the presence of Russian troops in Persia was explained. The foreign minister said:
 .The presence of our troops in Per sian territory involves no violation of Persian neutrality. Our detachme1ts were sent to that country some years ago 10 establish and maintain order in districts contiguous to our possessions; also to prevent the seizure of some of these districts by the Turks, who openly strove to create for themselves there a convenient base for military operations against the Caucasus The Persian government met the Turkish violation of it's neutrality with pro tests, which, however, had no results.''

 Trench troops have occupied the vil- lage of Kun Kaleh, the Turkish fortress on the Asiatic side of the entrance to the Dardanelles.
 This announcement was made offi- cially tonight:
 During the disemba rkation Sunday of the allied forces at the Dardan- elles," the official communication says, French troops, comprising infantry and artillery. had been designated par ticularly for operations at Kun Kaleh. on the Asatic side. This mission was completely and successfully fulfilled. ."Aided by the cannon of the French fleet and under the fire of the ener.y our troops occupied the village aud seven counter attacks at night, sup ported by heavy artillery.
 we took 800 prisoners and the losses of the enemy appear to have been con- siderable.
 "The general disembarlxation of the allied forces continues under good con cltions"
 London, April 27--Io:30 p. m.)-On the narrow, rocky Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey and on restricted front stretching northward from Ypres in Belgium. two of the most vital strug- gles of the war are in progress Neither has reached a stage which would permit of prediction of the ultimate result
 In the Gallipoli peninsula fighting, picturesque assortment of allied troops landed sunday, sus .esteS t- ssie fro of the ships, are trying to batter their way through thousands of German-of- hcered Turks in an effort to force the Dardanelles--the main gateway of the Ottoman empire--and reach Constan- tinople.
 British Claim Success
 According to the British claim the attack is progressing. but Turkish communication tonight declares 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 de- serting the tri-color and casting their lot with their co-religionists
 Equally contradictory are the official statements concerning the fighting in the vicinity of Ypres. It would appear that the German offensive north of that city. which brought them a gain of nearly three miles, has reached it's linn 1t, and that, although the Germans hold most of the ground they gained, the question no wis whether they can retain it.
 Allies on Offensive
 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 Lizerene, their new Judgement 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 communication today, which records no progress for the German troops, admits that the British took the offensive toward St. Julien. but insists that the successive attacks broke down.
 Some sections of the British press pro- less the belief that the crisis in the new battle, or series of battles. for the French coast has passed, but others are of the opinion that the end is not in sight.
 The fate of Calais still hangs in the paiance," says the Evening News The Germans are not disheartened. They are not starving and they are capable of great sustained offensive in Elan ders."

KITCHENER CONDEMNS THE
 TREATMENT OF PRISONERS
Secretary for War Charac- terizes German Officers as Inhuman-Quotes The Hague Agreement

London. April 27.-to D m.)-The British Parliament occupied itself solely today with discussions of the treatment of Brit ish war prisoners in Germany In both houses gratitude was expressed for efforts the United States had made to amciorate conditions.
 Lord Kitehener's speech iu the House of Lords, in which he said he lamented what he was convinced was German in- humanity toward British soldiers. was the most notable expression of the day. There were. however, equally striking notes in both houses. notably by Lord Lansdowne. opposition leader, and Lord Cromer, who expressed regret in the House of Lords that the British admiralty had seen fit to segregate captured German submarine crews and by Premier Asquith in the House of Commons, who declared that at the end of the war the British people would exact reparation. No definite course prisoners was agreed on.
