HEAVY LOSSES
At DARDANELLES
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, March 25-A dispatch
received today at the offices of the
Reuters News Agency from it's cor
respondent on Tenedos Island, in the
Aagean Sea, purpots to related details
of damage inflicted upon the Turkish
forts lining the banks of the Darda-
nelles during the bombardment which
cost the British and French navies
three first class battleships on March
18th. This version of the attack on
the Turkish defenses differs materially
from British official reports which
assert that only the secondary defenses
were destroyed as result Of the en-
counter.
This correspondent asserts relia-
BILE information has reached Tenedos
that enormous losses sustained by the
Turkish defenders have greatly affect
ed the spirits of the troops and that
even the most powerful of the forts
have sustained almost irreparable
damage. Big shells thrown from the
British battleship Queen Elizabeth are
alleged to have wrought the greatest
destruction within the Turk strong
holds. Ploughing through solid walls
of steels and great masses of con-
crete these monster sixteen-ineh shells
found the powder magazines of more
than one of the big forts asserts this
Reuters correspondent and most ter
rible havoc was wrought by the result
ant explosions.
The enormous waste of war material
occasioned by the destruction of these
magazines is expected to prove a dis
astrous blow to the Turkish cause.
owing to the concentration of heavy
shell fire from battleships stationed in
the Gulf Saros, upon the town of CALI
poll at the junction Of the Dardanelles
and the Sea of Marmora. In order to
replenish the forts arsenals ammuni-
tion and supplies must be brought
from the mainland, and with allies
warships dominating the passageway,
this may prove difficult undertake

Spain Wants
u. S. Wheat
(By Associated Press.)

MADRID, March 25.-The Spanish
government is taking steps to secure
an adequate supply Of grain until the
next harvest. It's procedure will be
similar to that which other countries
have been obliged to adopt, 1t will
take over number of Spanish-owne1
vessels, and use them. to convey car
goes Of wheat and oats from the Unit
ed States to Spanish ports, principally
Barcelona.
Rates Of freight by ship to Spanish
ports have increased SsiA consonance
with those of neighbofing countries.
The increase has, in fact, been rather
more pronounced than to some French
ports. For example, it is nearly ten
per cent. cheaper to ship grain from
the United States togMarseilles than to
Barcelona, because ship-owners give
a preference to corgoes destined 70
Marseilles where there are fairly GER
tain of being able to unload without

American Physician Risked Life to
Save Assyri8ns-Rushed Between
Lines and Unfurled Stars and
Stripes
(By Associated Press.)

T1FLIS, Persia, March 25-Tele-
grams and letters reaching here today
from Urumiah in northwestern Persia,
describe the situation of the American
missionaries there as desperate. Tur-
kish regular troops and Kurds are per-
scouting Assyrians and Christians in
that section and the civilian residents
are practically powerless to resist the
abuses being heaped upon them.
One instance of heroic bravery S
related in the action of DR.. Harry p.
Hackard "a physician attached to the
Presbyterian missionary station at
Urumiah who risked his lige in a sue
cessful effort to prevent a frghtful
massacre at Geotopa, where three
thousand Assyrians made their last
stand against an overwhelming num-
ber of Turkish troops and boodthirsty
Kurds. When DR.. Hackard reached
the scene, battle had been raging
during three days, and the Assyrians
had exhausted all Of the ammunition.
The situation was tense and a most
frightful massacre appeared certain
until the fearless American rushed be-
tween the lines of the contendipg
forces and unfurled the United States
flag which action had the effect of
Htiringing hostilities temporarily to A.
close.
OF the original three thousand Assy-
rians attacked, two hundred were
burned to death in church set a-fire
by Kurds. The others escaped, owing
to the timely arrival of DR.. Hackard,
and his prompt display of the Ameri-
can colors. The survivors Of the at
tack were later successfully transfer
red to the mission at Urumiah, where
they remain. still in grave danger.
Fifteen thousand Assyrian Chris
tians driven from their homes by row
ing bands of Turks and Kurds have
taken refuge in the American mission at
Urumiah, while two thousands others
are being temporarily given shelter a.
the French mission.
Late yesterday this mission was at
tackled by Turkish regular troops, ac-
cording to delayed dispatches and
the premises tootea. One bishop and
four clersymea, it is said, were taken
from the asfssion and hanged by the
Turks besides sixty refugees, were
sumE0arily executed by order of the
T'0rkish military commander.
