The War Today

Greece may be forced into the
war as the result of a new crisis
in Athens. Overriding the OBJ
jections of the Greek Government,
the Allies have begun transporting
Serbian troops overland by rail
from Corfu to Salonica. The Aus
trian and German Governments,
according to Athens dispatches to-
day, protested several days ago
that they would regard it as a de-
liberately unfriendly act if Greece
permitted this troop movement.
Correspondents at Athens reported
today that King Constantine is in
censed at the action of the Allies
and may attempt to stop the trans
portation Of Serbian troops by
show of arms.
Turkish troops, defending Tre-
bizond, have been defeated II miles
east of the Sultan's naval base on
the Black Sea.
Fighting on the Verdun front is
confined almost entirely to artil-
lery actions. The Germans are di-
recting a vigorous bombardment
against French positions on the
left bank of the Meuse and south
of Haudromont Wood, on the right
bank of the river.
Three British airmen have raid
ed Constantinople, while another
has attacked Adrianople, the raids
resulting in considerable damage,
according to London.

BATTLE LASTS SIX DAYS

PETRoGRAD. April II.
Announcement was made by the war
Office last night that Turkish forces had
been elected from position about IL
miles east of the important port of Trebt-
zond. the capture of which has been the
objective of recent Russian operations
along this front The statement follows:
I'm the coastal region and to the south,
after a desperate fight, our troops sup
ported by guns on land and sea. dis
lodged the TruSs from a powerfully or
ganized position on the left bank of Kara
Dere. 25 versts east of Trebizond. We are
pursuing the enemy energetically.
Repeated attacks by the enemy In the
direction of Bayburt were repulsed with
heavy losses to the assailants."
The supreme effort of the Turkish forces
TO oppose the further westward progress
of the Russian central armies operating
beyond Erzerum recently eliminated in a
stubborn six days battle, the Importance
of which is scarcely suggested by the brief
mention in the official communications.
The Turks not only made a determined
stand along the whole front from the
Black Sea coast to Bitlis but organized
an offensive campaign, the evident inten-
ton of which was to recapture Erzerum
The first step in carrying out the Turk
ish plan was, by sudden pressure of the

President Gives Final Scru-
tiny to Reply to Ber-

NO ANSWER REQUIRED
WASHINGTON. Anril II.

WASHINGTON. April II.
President Wilson's communication to
Germany on the U.boat situation probably
will go tonight. 1t was stated at the
White House today the President has de-
voted virtually all of his attention to
preparation of the paper and expects to
put the last work on 1t this afternoon He
was at work again in his study today--on
Americas Indictment of Germany, It was
said He had worked much of yesterday.
breaking his custom of attending church.
and had worked all day and part of Satur-
day night. despite his habit Of getting
away from the White House on the last
day of the week
officials made no effort to disguise their
fears today. They insisted that the ad-
vices from Berlin seemed to indicate that
the President was expected to leave the
issue open to discussion. The contrary is
the case, they say.
In this connection Administration off,
cials at the capital explained that the
note, far as they were able to learn.
does not call for specific answer. 1t
mikes plain the belief of the United States
that promises have been violated sets
forth the various instances upon which
this belief is based and then insists that
the United States--a neutral nation--can-
not be expected further to overlook what
seems to be nagrant assault upon its
rights. The Sussex attack Is declared to
have been proved beyond question, as the
German answer in this connection Is used
TO show why the Administration believes
1t proved
Although there is no distinct and spe-
cifc threat, Il Is understood that the COM
munication sets forth that the next viola
tion by German submarine of any rights
of the United States automatically must
mean a complete diplomatic break.
1t was stated officially today the Cab
met already has ratified the substance of
haTmessage. and that there is no neces-
sity of the President holding IL up for
final review of the Cabinet tomorrow.
It is still held likely that when the
communication Is completed the President
will go over II with members of the House
an1 Senate Foreign Relations Committees
but thus far he has made no request for
an appointment with Senator Stone or
Representative Flood. chairmen of the
respective committees.
That Germany has made suggestions to
this Government through Ambassador
Gerard dealing with the submarine cases
pending Is known. These suggestions,
however. are held confidential and neither
at the White House nor at the State
Department will they be discussed The
Press dispatches from Berlin all agree on
this, 1t being asserted as a fact that Ger
many will assume responsibility for the
Sussex torpedoing If the evidence of the
United States is as convincing as Pres
ident Wilson and his advisers are under
stood to consider II.
