ASSOCIATED Press by Federal wirolesS)
I ONDON, May 15-In Asintic Tur-
l. key there has been fresh lighting
of a more or less serious nature.
Petrograd officially admitted last night
that the Turks in the Kope mountai \
region have driven in the Russian ad-
vance guards, inficting heavy losses
upon the Muscovite armies, but added
that the Ottoman forces were unable to
advance because of the heavy losses
Russian guns.
These actions took place in the broken
and mountainous country northwest of
Erzerum, where the Russian armies are
trying to link hands across the noun
tains, and sweep the entire country
clear of the Turks.
Campaign Is Described
At present the Russian lines in that
section of the south eastern theater are
something like the thumb and index
finger of a hand with the palm upward.
The thumb stretches along the sea
coast, and the index finger runs along
a wide and fertile valley south of the
KOpe range of mountains. The Turks
have so far prevented the Grand Duke
from effecting a juncture between the
thumb and the index finger, and there.
by forcing the Ottoman armies out of
,the whole district.
Further 10 the south the Russians are
stil advancing, having made several
miles since the last reports. The col
al
the Turkish town of RowanduZ and
points TO the westward, and is within
12O miles of Bagdad.
Results In West Slight
Upon the western front the fighting
has been continuous but productive of
but slight results. Berlin claims to
have repulsed an attack by French gren-
ade throVers in the vicinity of Hill
304, where the battle was particularly
intense, and the French report heavy
bombardment of the positions north of
lie Homme Mort, but no infantry at
tacks by the Germans.
South Of ROye the battle has been
resumed, the Germans having attempt
ed to drive a wedge into the French
line. Paris reports on this front say
that the attack was repulsed by the
machine guns and seventy fves, "
and that the Teutons lost heavily.
Belgians Are Attacked
The Belgians for the first time in
several months are bearing the brunt
of additional attacks by the Germans
and report that the bombardment in
the vicinity Of Dixmude has been par
ticularly violent.
In an aerial attack by the Bulgari-
ans and Teutons on the Greco Serbian
border last Friday, fourteen civilians
were killed and many wounded, accord
ing to a Havas despatch from Salonika.
Berlin dispatches announced last
night that there has been fierce com
bats between Italians and the Austri.
ans west of the border of san Mar
tino, where the Austrians were success
full in repulsing their assailants after
a prolonged and bloody conflict.

A Romance Of the Battle Of Trenton

Concluded.

In the old fashioned sitting room
of the Delapp home Anne sat dis
consulate. In her hand she held a
note to Joshua Honeyman at Tren-
ton. She was to be banished from
the Delapp home on the morrow.
Old Delapp, stern and unrelenting
though he was, had not the heart
to cast her out homeless and when
he told her a rebels lover could not
live under the same roof with him
he gave her the note to Honeyman
who was more kindly disposed to
those of her persuasion. After she
had learned the gravity of the sin
of opposing her King, Delapp had
told her. she might return, but not
until then. AS Anne sat there, torn
with conflicting emotions, her gaze
rested upon a picture of the King.
With all her strength sent book
crashing through the picture which
fell to the floor with a bang.

managed to make his way to a house
of a friendly farmer who sheltered
him.
The Delapp chaise drew up in
front of the Honeyman house in
Trenton and Mrs. Delapp alighted
with bundle of clothing for Anne.
The note which Indian Jim had
brought from Gray was concealed
in the bundle. Anne was overjoyed
to see Mrs. Delapp and to get the
note in which her lover told of his
whereabouts and expressed the hope
that he might see her soon.
Not long after Mrs. Delapp left
the house Joshua Honeyman and
his wife were about to enter their
home when a neighbor told them
that a courier had just brought
word of the capture of General Lee
and the killing of his aide Captain
Gray.
Anne greeted them joyousIy as
they entered the house. She finally
showed Mrs. Honeyman the letter
from Gray.
1t was sad ending of her dream
for Anne when Mrs. Newbold broke
the news as gently as possible. One
hope only buoyed her up. There
might be some mistake. Perhaps it
was not Captain Gray who had been
killed, after all.
Mrs. Honeyman's son, John, a
spy in the service of Washington,
upon returning home after one of
his trips, told his mother that it was
only too true that Captain Gray had
been killed. This news they kept
from Anne.
John Honeyman was enabled to get
much valuable information for Wash
ington by reason of holding a pass
signed by Colonel Rail, in person,
permitting him to enter and leave
the Hessian lines as drover. By
occasionally bringing in a beef on
the hoof for the hungry Hessians,
Honeyman was able to divert suspic-
ion from himself.

Joel Barton, was leaving his farm
house on trip which would keep
him absent several hours. His little
family, made up of his wife and baby
and his sister-in-law, Jane Fincher,
was particularly happy that Deem
Der day for Barton had just sold
property and his wife held in her
lap the money from the sale. On
one of her fingers was signet ring
which had come all the way from
London and which Barton had given
her that day in honor of their we'd
ding anniversary.
Soon after Barton left the house
a neighbours boy rode into the yard
with warning of the approach a band
of Hessian raiders. Mrs. Barton
aided by Jane, hastily buried the
money in the garden and they let in
some pigs to trample down the fresh
ly dug earth. When the Hessians
came they were not long in discover
ing the hiding place of the women
who had baricaded themselves in a
bed room. After battering upon
the door one of the soldiers looked
through the key hole and saw Mrs.
Barton in the room with the baby
in her arms. The brute stepped back
and raising his mnsket he fired
through panel of the door. With
out even moan Mrs. Barton, still
clutching the baby, fell dead across
the bed. Jane Fincher, too terrified
to scream, snatched the child from
her sisters lifeless arms and hid
with it behind some clothing as the
soldiers smashed in the door. Finding
the dead women one of them took
from her finger the signet ring.
Then they left the room with the
exception of one drunken trooper
who fell in a doze by the side of the
bed. AS the raiders walked roughly
down the stairs one of them wanton-
ly fired a musket at a clock which
burst into flames as it fell over
and the house was set afre.
Thinking they had all gone Jane
Fmcher came from her hiding place
as smoke began to curl into the
room. She bent over her sister,
family hoping to find some trace of
life. AS she did so the drunken
Hessian saw her and arising to his
feet he stepped toward her. She
heard the foot fall of the heavily
shod ruffian and fled into the smoke
filled hall way with him in pursuit.
