ARMENIAN MASSACRES
Kurds Again Active in Vicin
ity of Lake Van.

Julia, Transcaucasia, April "a re-
newal Of the recent msssscrss Of Chris
tians in Armenia Is now in progress in
the whole district Of Lake Van.
Conflicts between the Armenians and
the Kurds are daily becoming more OBJ
durate. An exceptionally fierce engage
ment Is occurring to-day at Shatasch.
Boston, April 30.-Officials of the
American Board Of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions, on learning to-day of
the reported renewal of massscres of
Christians in the Lake Van district of
Armenia, said that they felt no appre-
hension for the safety of their mis-
sionaries there, d. they were regarded
as neutrals and not likely to be at
tackled.
DR.. James L. Barton, foreign secre-
tary of the board, said that during the
massacre of 1895, ten thousand Ar
menian refugees, who had sought pro-
lection in the mission compound, were
not disturbed.

Mounted Force Gets
Around Russians Right
in Northern Poland.
INVADERS ATTACK
ON WHOLE LINE
Fighting Extends from Tilsit to
Below Vistula-Carpathian
Armies Deadlocked.

London, April Coleman cavalry,
which succeeded apparently III getting
around the extreme right of the Rus
SIS, has invaded the Russian Baltic
provinces. There has been no indica-
ton in what force the Germans are
operating, but it is presumed ere that
{ cavalry is simply looking over the
ground to find out what opposition
force landed at Polangen, IN the Prov
ince of Courland, would meet with. In
military circles here 1t is asserted that
this cavalry can, however, interfere
with the Russian communications and
rive the famous Russian Cossacks
something to do. Il
At the other end Of the Russian line
the Russians are reported TO be con-
tinuing to make slow progress in the
Uzsok Pass and to repulse Austrian
attacks on their flank in the direction
of Stry.
The German offensive movement in
tho north. once more under way, ex-
tends along the entire Prussian border,
from Tilsit to the Vistula River. The
advance evidently is aimed at the Bal
tic provinces, which are rich in crops
and other food supplies.
For months the military operations
on the Prussian border had been limit
ed TO scouting parties, isolated artil-
lery duels and aeroplane warfare.
From Polangen, town in the Baltic
province of Courland, 1t was reported
to-day that an increased number OF
German cruisers were preparing to as
sist the contemplated advance OF the
land forces. Thus far the German Of
fensive movement has consisted mainly
of heavy artillery fire at intervals
along the whole front, which has now
been augmented by rapid cavalry ad-
yances without infantry support.
On the Carpathian front the situa-
ton is curiously balanced, the Rus
slams directing an offensive against
Uzsok and the Austrians attempting a
movement in the direction Of Stry. The
Austrian forces temporarily are aban-
doning their attacks at other points
and are being concentrated in an effort
10 bend back the Russian left wing,
with Lemberg as the ultimate Austrian
objective.
The increasing Russian menace on
Uzsok Pass, however, military observ-
ers say, has brought this movement TO
a standstill, since, with Uzsok in Rus
sian hands, the operations of the Aus
TRAN right wing, deprived of most i'm
portant support, would automatically
collapse.

man troops have fortified and hold
bridge heads on the western bank of

BISHOPS ASK POPE
TO APPROVE ALLIES
Belgian and French Prelates APP.
peal to Vatican to Aban-
don Its Neutrality.

Rome, April 30.-Belgian and French
cardinals, archbishops and bishops
have united in an appeal to Pope Bene-
dict for the Vatican to abandon the
attitude of neutrality it has main
tanned since the beginning of the war.
They say they cannot understand how
the head of a Church which is founded
on principles of right and justice can
remain neutral without protesting at
the same time against those who vio-
late written or unwritten law. The
Pontiff is urged to assume an attitude
which would be epoch making In the
history of the Papacy.
Cardinal MERCER, Archbishop of Ma
lines; Cardinal Annette, Archbishop Of
Paris, and other members of the Sacred
College have sent memorandum to the
Pope insisting that such an oppor-
tunity may never occur again for the
Church to show that it stands above
political considerations, caring only for
the moral and religious interests of its
people.

GERMAN AIRMEN
ATTACK u. S. SHIP
Two British Steamers Victims Of
Submarines In the
North Sea.

London, April 90.-The Reuter- Tele-
gram Company has received a dispatch
from its Correspondent at Rotterdam
saying that the American steamer
Cushing, from Philadelphia, arrived at
Rotterdam to-day and reports having
been attacked by German airmen in
the North Sea last Wednesday.
The sirmen dropped two bombs, but
no damage was done.
The Gushing was flying the American
flag at the time of this attack, and
her name was displayed on her side In
huge letters.
The trawler Lily Dale has been sunk
by a German submarine in the North
Sea, seventy-fve miles off the mouth
of the River Tyne.
A patrol boat picked up the trawler's
crew and then went in chase of the
submarine, butt it escaped.
The British steamship reported sunk
last night by q German submarine of
the Isle of Lewis, North Scotland, was
identified to-day as the British steam
err Mobile, carrying a cargo of coal.
Its crew of twenty-three men was
landed to-day. The officers said that
the sinking Of the Mobile occurred on
Wednesday. The crew was given ten
70 IAEc W IilC -bOabos hVy
drifted about for nine hours before
they reached land.
Washington, April so.-While no re-
port had been received OF the expert
ence of the American steamer Gushing
with aircraft in the North Sea, officials
are interested in the incident, and ex-
pect advices from the American lega-
ton at The Hague or the American
consulate at Rotterdam.
There are no international conven-
tions in force which govern the acts
of airmen, but under the general rules
of international law, by which neutral
vessels are immune from attack OF any
kind on the high seas, representations
probably will be made promptly II the
reports of the attack are verified.
The steamer Cushing left Philadel-
phia April IL for Rotterdam via Deal
She Is of 1920 tons net register, and
is owned by the Standard Oil Company
She was formerly the German steam
ship Promethus, and was changed to
American registry last November.
