THREE BATTLES

sides of the straits inaugurating the
combined land and sea attempt at the
conquest of ConStantinople. A Brit
ish correspondent in northern France
telegrap hs that the German effort to
turn the left British flank near YpreS
has failed and that the Germans have
been checked definitely, although the
battle still continues with violence.
French military authorities are eau
tious of accepting the theory that the
plan of the Germans is to break
through to the British channel but
they regard it as patent that such a
huge concentration of troops on a linn
tied front means that the present drive
is preparatory to some more impOr-
tant undertaking. An official Belgian
statement indicates that the German
attack is lessening In force.
1t is said the artillery fire against
the Belgian front has largely died
away.
Russian and Austrian official state
ments indicate that fighting in the
Carpathians is becoming more intense.
Each side claims to have defeated the
attacks of the other, but it is apparent
that gradually the activity is spreading
along a greater section of the battle
line Military observers at Petrograd
say that more decisive operations than
have occurred hitherto are expected
shortly.
The situation at the Dardanelles re-
mains obscure, although it is apparent
that the French and British have
made some Roadway with their land
ing operations. The Paris war office
has announced the capture of Kun
kaleh, on the Asiatic side. The Turk
ish government, although reporting
the repulse of the landing forces in
some cases, does not claim that in
every instance the Turks have been
able to drive them back.
Italy is still debating the question
whether she shall intervene in the
war The Italian ambassador in
France, one of those summoned home
to consult with the government, has
had a long conference with the king

POORLY PAID MINISTERS
DIR. Francis l.. Hayes Lays Some
Figures Before the Methodists.

Chicago. April 2s.-Ministers in the
Congregational church of the northern
states receive, at an average, an an
nual salary of less than $500, Rev. F.
l.. Hayes, western secretary of the
annuity fund for Congregational min
listers, asserted today before the ma
tional convention of the board of con-
ference claimants of the Methodist
Episcopal church.
The convention is being held in the
interest of s10,000,0OO fund for re-
tired ministers. Rev. Mr.. Hayes said
that less than 2 per cent of the Con-
gregational churches pay ministers an
annual salary of $4,000 and upwards,
more than half not over $1,000 and
one quarter not more than $500.
1.-The underlying reason why every
member of the Grand Army of the
Republic received a pension, with the
general approval of the people, is the
nations sense of obligation. 1t is time
that the church's sense of obligation
should rise to the same level the

avowal. He freely confessed the de-

motive which impelIed him. When he
sat down. beside his long time friend,

getting 5000. This was testified to

by detectives, his employers were
astounded, refusing to believe him
guilty, and assisted him to obtain bail.
