RESUME FIGHTING
At OARDANELLES
GREAT OFFENSIVE MOVEMENT
BEGUN BY ALLIES AGAINST
THE TURKISH TROOPS.
The Armies of the Central Powers Are
Still Pressing the Defending Forces
in Western Serbia-Fighting
Resumed in Flanders.

Rotterdam Cologne Gazette
reports that great offensive move
ment has been initiated at the Dar-
danelles by the allies.
Violent fighting in the vicinity OF
Seddul Bahr, on the tip of Gallipoli
peninsula, is reported by the war Of
fee at Constantinople. The statement
follows
Artillery duels are in progress on
the Dardanelles front. Violent fight
ing with bombs is taking place near
Seddul Bahr.'
the armies of the central powers are
still pressing the defending forces
hard in western Serbia, but the Serbs
and Montenegrins are offering strong
resistance. The Montenegrins are
giving battle to the invaders along
the Drina and Linn rivers and at sew
eral points are said to have repulsed
them, while in the Ibar valley Serbian
rear guards assumed the offensive.
The Austro- -Hungarians as they ap-
proach the Kossovo plain, in the re-
gion of Pristina, are being met by the
Serbs, frequently in hand-to-hand en-
counters, but they still continue to
push forward and are now declared to
be approaching Pristina both from
the north and the east. Although both
the Berlin and Vienna communica-
tions daily announce relatively large
captures of men, dispatch from Aus
trian headquarters estimates that the
Serb army aggregates between 100000
and 5000 men.
1t is reported that the Serbs at Mon
astir are receiving reinforcements and
that the British also are sending up
men to the front through which the
Bulgarians had hoped to drive the
Serbs across the border into Greece
or westward into Albania. Additional
forces of men and guns are being
landed daily by the entente allies at
Saloniki
To the recent presence of Field Mar
shal Kitchener on the Gallipoli penin-
sula is attributed in London the re-
sumption of activity in the Darda-
nelles operations.
Hard fighting still is in progress on
the AustroItalian front with the big
guns of the Italians working hard on
Goriza and adjacent sectors. Accord
ing to Vienna, the Austrians have
driven the Italians from all the po-
sitions they had captured around Os-
lavia and also elected the Italians who
entered the Austrian lines in the dis
trict of San Martino.
In the west the British and French
artillery has become more active in
Flanders and Champagne, which on
previous occasions has been the sig
nal for offensive movements. The
Russians, since they regained the
ground they lost on the river Styr,
have been inactive, except for minor
attacks in the Dvinsk region. The
Petrograd correspondents, however,
predict that more important events
are impending.
British and French troops have cap
tured the city of Tibati in the German
colony of Kamerun, West Africa,
where the sultan and populace are
said to have welcomed them.

ALLIES FORCING
GREC|AN DECISION
THREATEN TO WITHDRAW SPE-
CiAL PRIVILEGES UNLESS SHE
COMES TO THEIR AID.
VIII Shut of Coal Supply and Other
Commodities Shipped From coun-
tries at War, Instead of Declaring
General Blockade.

London-Instead of declaring a
general blockade of the Greek ports,
the allies have, according to a state
ment issued by the British foreign Of
fee on Tuesday, withdrawn, or threat
ened to withdaw, the special privi-
leges which Greek commerce has en-,
joyed since the outbreak of the war.
What these special privileges are Is
not specifically stated, but as an ex-
ample Greece has been allowed to
draw her supplies of coal from Welsh
collieries. To do this, Greek mer-
chants required special permits as
the export of coal from the British
isles is allowed only under a special
license.
There are many other commodities,
the export of which is permitted only
to certain countries. Invariably when
orders have been issued against the
export of such commodities, Greece
has been among the countries except
ed. Now, unless she comedies the de-
mands made by the allies for assuf
ances for the safety of their troops in
the Balkans, Greece will be struck OIL
the list of countries which have these
privileges.
While this less vigorous attitude on
the part of the allied governments has
caused some dissatisfaction in quar-
ters where strong measures are advo-
Gated, it has eased the situation and
the belief now prevails that Greece,
having been impressed by Lord Kitch.

forests will pasture 1,983,775 cattle
and horses, S,747,O25 sheep and goats

U. S. STEAMER GULFLIGHT IS VICTIM OF
GERMAN = sMARINE;; SITUATION SERIOUS

God or atalsAst superman to them.
They have confidence in themselves
7hich is equally. important Their
fear of the Irresistible German fight
ing machine was dissipated at the
Marine and on the road to Calais.
They point out that. the Germans
have had their day and have failed.
So the French soldier in the tren-
ches feels that he, himself, is as good
a soldier as anybody; he feels that
he is as we'll led; he knows that the
German amy has failed in it's general
plans, proving it is not the all power
full and unbeatable organization he
at first feared it was.
He has succeeded in completely
reorganizing his life. He has got
ten out of his domestic rut He has
become hardened to his new life and
when he writes home to his women
folks he tells them to be patient; he
comforts them and scolds them for
writing letters that are blue.
The officers are the same as the
men. One finds them smiling and
confident, fraternising with their
men, as perhaps no other officers in
the world do with theirs. Yet the
men never take advantage of this
fact. If an officer speaks word of
disapproval to one Of his men, this
word seems to hurt worse than
blow. And the next day if a dan
gerous task is to be performed this
is the man who first volunteers.
This is the temper Of the men as
they face this bloody spring cam
paign. TO the mind of a newspaper
man who has no knowledge of mill
tary affairs, they are far and away
in better shape than at the begin
ming of the war, and to a man grim
ly determined to bring home a victory
to themselves. All know there is
to be some grim fighting over the
ftowery fields of Northern France
this spring.
