From the Turkish Front

PILE. March ,. (Nia London. March 3)-The official com munication issued by the war office today follows:
 "On Thursday some enemy cruisers bombarded at intervals, without eff feet, the beach between Seddul Bahr and Tellk Burnt. They also bonn harded other towns without defenses on the coast of Smy rna, including KUchadassi and some places north ward, and then withdrew.
 Prom the Yemen front it is re- ported in amplification of the last report that in the last battle near Dafiuch, between Sheikn Hosman and Laksh the enemy lost 160 men killed, including a British general and the leaGer of the landing corps. The enemy also lost many transport ami mals The enemy employed poison OuS gas during the battle.
 "Emir tribes of the coast district between Alden and Hadramout, after the battle of Dafiuch, offered sub mission to the Turkish government. The east and west coast districts of Alden thus came under Turkish rule. In reality the British have only weak influence between Alden and Sheikh Hosman"

characteristic audacity, it did not op- pose some weak section. but the strongest fortress at the pivot of the line, the fall whereof would force the abandonment of the whole AiSne positions.
 Fort Douaumont crowns a hill SIS meters high and was the strongest and highest fort of the eastern sec tor of the outer ring of forts of the Nerdun defenses. Between Douaumont and Verdun intervene forts Souville, 365 meters high and Saint Michel. 347 meters high and which belong to the inner girdle, but Douaumont commands view of the city, the heart of which is less than five miles distant. the favorite range of the German mobile mortars.
 The successes were due to the German troops fighting furously under the eyes of Emperor William, but signs of the weakening of the French morale were also evident, being shown in the collapse of their resstence south of Verdun.

and very few of the assailants sue ceed in getting to the rear. Almost all were left on the field of battle. That did not prevent the Germans from attacking us once more during the Gay. but without any better sue cess.
 -Four of our grenadiers. posted at the entrance of a communication trench which united our old firing trench now occupied by the Germans with supporting trench which we still held killed groups of the enemy as fast as they presented themselves.
 They carried on this work for more than twenty hours. During these fights was revealed once more the Warlike ardor of the French. Despite the losses incurred (almost exclusively from artillery fire for in the infantry engagements we had constantly the upper hand) their morale did not Waver for a moment our troopers maneuvered as during fieiH practice. They saw without a murmur their comrades fall around  as quietly as at exercise. One has reason to be proud of commanding such men.
 At 4:15 o'clock in the afternoon of February g while we had not re- tired a single foot, order was given us to withdraw carefully, for the Wavrille wood having been taken, we ran the risk of being surrounded. We waited for the night to come. Some of our men. when they learned that we were to leave Herbebois, protested asking to be allowed to fight and die on the spot However. tactical req soEs obliged us to evacuate and we had to reckon with the general situa- ton.
 "rhe retirement order was executed and we went to take a position in front of the Le Chaume wood. com munication with the units on our right and left.
 "The defense of Herbebois will certainly remain one of the most glorious pages in the annals of our regiment. More than 5000 Germans came in successive waves to smash themselves against our ranks, al though we were in fighting position of the most Instantaneous kind. We voluntarily abandoned the ground where hundreds and hundreds of Germen corpses show sufficiently how effective was our resistance. Neither the bomba rdment nor the snow nor the difficulties of securing provisions nor fatigue could overcome the stub born bravery of our infantry By thus holding firm in this corner of Herbebois. they, for their part con tributed to win time for the arrival of necessary reserves and they seri- Ously interferred with the advance of the Germans. It was sacrifices of this kind repeated at numerous points on our front which held back the enemy flood

Study Effect On Neutrals

LONDON, March 4.-The British press is studying carefully the effect of the Verdun fighting on public opinion in various European capitols. particularly the neutral countries of Greece. Sweden, Scandinavia and Holland. A special correspondent sent to Sweden by the Telegraph warns the British public as follows:
 Any decisive German success will produce a far reaching political eff feet n neutrals. The rebound in Sweden would be great and almost imminent.
 "It is hardly realized abroad that the recent fluctuations in the atti tude of Sweden were the direct re- suits of the vicissitudes of the cam paign in general and of Russia $ grave reverse in particular. While the majority of the Swedish people en- certain no desire to exchange a safe ana lucrative neutrality for a belliger- enny which can bring no lasting ad vantage, the sentiments of the mar ticulate majority are of little value
 
 ruling statesmen are impressed.
 Tt is certain that a decisive leu tonic victory at the present juncture would be followed by most import ant changes in the international sit uatiOn.
 The Athens correspondent of the Telegraph says: If Greece can serve as an example of the effect which the giant struggle at Verdun will have urOn neutrals, one can safely forecast that it will be immense Greece is following the different pfases of the battle of Verdun with absorbing interest. It is believed here that the effects and political conse- Quences will be even more far reach ing or Germany's Balkan allies
 Dispatches from Bucharest show that there is keen interest there in inc Verdun fighting. The correspon- dent of the Exchange Telegraph com pany declares "only great German victory can prevent Rumania from joining the entente allies shortly

French Confident of Outcome

PARIS, March 3.-The big battle of Nerdun has been resumed. The Germans gradually worked up their preliminary bombardment through out Wednesday night and Thursday morning until in the afternoon of Thursday it did reach great inten- sity.
 Special attention was directed to the French positions west of the Mouse between Forges and Malan- court. and well as on the famous Pepper Hill and Douaumont posi- tions, from which it is inferred that the Germans intend to make a sec ond effort over a wider area than the six kilometer front, on which they concentrated masses of men in the first phase of the struggle, with the idea that if it fails to break the line on the north it may sever it on the northwest.
 With the exception of violent as saults on Pepper hill and Douau- mont, the German infantry thus far has not been engaged in the fray. The command had gone out to the
 
 grow under their feet and they. pro fitted by the lull preceding the fresh attack by concentrating vast stocks of munitions, fillin gaps in their ranks and strengthening still fur ther the vital points in their de- lenses. The French await the out come of the battle with the fullest confidence.
 The French have occupied the highest part of the mound on the norther slope of which the village of Douaumont is situated ard also in counter attacks against the Ger mans have regained ground in the | immediate vicinity of Douaumont, according to the official French com munication made public this even ng.
 The bOmbardment continues very | violent along the entire front from the west of the Mouse to the WOevre region,
 The mystery of how five hundred 1 Germans of the Twenty Fourth Bran- denburg regiment have been able to l hold out a week in the ruined Fort 1 Douaumont against the attacks ot | the French says the Petit Journal probably may be explained by their having extended the subteranean passages of the fort and thus es- l tablished communication with their advanced lines.

 All hope of compromise with the Earl republicans has vanished" said Francis V Keesling, chairman of the republican state central committee We are going to chose 26 big caliber California republicans and fight that out Cn the ballot. The fat is in the fire
 The call for tomorrGw's convention was issued by Mr. Keesling to 40 members of the stateecentral commit tee. members of the executive com mittee of that body, and to members of republican county central commit tees their accredited representatives. A delegation of 40 is expected from Los Angeles, and another large repre- sentation from Fresno. Only those officially identified with the party will he accredited votes but all republicans it was announced, would he welcomed
 Nc definite program had been laid down for the convention. Unlike the democratic delegation. however both the regular republicans and the new or united republican ticket of 26 names each will be uninstructed which means that there will be 52 names in the non preferential column to he voted for in dividuallY on the republican ballot at the May primary.
 It was declared tonight that even if a move be made for compromise by the united republicans after to- morrow's ticket is selected, that the convention will probably permit no de- viation.

CHICAGO, March 5.-Only one of the through railroads between Chica- SO and Now York has its tracks clear according to q story which will be pub lisheG in the Chicago Tribune tomor- TOW
 The story will say that there are 100000 cars loaded to the roofs, backed up on storage tracks between the two cities.
 Goods that left Chicago in Decem- her Lave rot gotten within 900 miles If New York.
 The docks, piers, private ware houses, public storehouses and finally the bare ground, are filtered with de ayed freight. The freight lying on Inc eround alone will total millions of dollars"
 The story ,s credited to a traffic expert sent out to investigate the car shortage situation for big Chicago corporation. The expert will be quoted as saving.
 "The congestion is causing grea. losses to manufacturer A large part of the goods were sold fob. New York. but the railroads are not de- livering within the time limit and the home interests are being assessed the aemurrage besides having to stand the delays
 Bad weather, lack of bottoms. the rush of export goods to the seaboard. and finally the tremendous increase in the domestic movement, have all com hined to make the situation most ser ious. In edition the railroads have been woefully inefficient, failing even after the intellectual embargoes to measure ur to the situation and de- liver goods in time for sailings."

to belittle the German achievements by eXaggeratinS their purpose.
 Any attack on Verdun, the Frank fGrJer Zeitung contends, must have begun as the German attack began by powerful and victorious advance followed by a lull. The newspaper continues
 It is difficult to imagine that the conquerors of Fort Douaumont and the neighboring works can remain in- aceiIe after their great victory, but tC what extent the commander of our army will utilize at Verdun the pa ssion for attack and our unweak- ened fighting power remains to be seen
