The Germans at Constantinople are

far as is known, have the Turks sent

important concessions in the peace
conference after the war.
Kut-E1-Amara is midway between
Bagdad and the town of Amara it

miles. The British reached Amara
on June 1. They have spent abont
four months, therefore, covering hall

tain q new trial for Hillstrom. Owing
to the fact that the execution was set
for tomorrow, the president attempted
to obtain stay until the matter could
be taken up through diplomatic chan

Under the Utah law III illstrom had
his choice Of being hanged or shot,
