BRITISH LOSE 5000 In VAIN
EFFORT TO RELIEVE KuT
Unsuccessful in Fight at Felahie.
Turks Win Near Alden
BERLIN. March 10

pI1lNlJlAN' AialCi 10.
The British lost 5000 men in an unsuc-
cessful attempt to relieve the Kut-el-
Amara garrison, according to an official
statement from the Turkish War Office,
telegraphed here today.
The report covered the battle at Felahie.
southeast of Kut.
The Turkish War Office also announced
the defeat of n British expedition in
Arabia, near Alden.
"On the Yemen front an English de-
tachment of 5000 infantry and 800 cav
airy. with 12-centimetre guns, started
from Sheikh Osman, north OF Alden, and
occupied the town of Afsch and the
heights two and one-half miles southwest
of It," said the official statement.
They then attacked Turkish vanRuards
with superior forces, but were stopped
by Turkish counter-attacS from Elvahita.
After three hours the enemy withdrew,
only the protection OF his long-range ar
tlllery preventing panic
THE enemy then tried to make n new
stand in Elemeihale, two and one-half
miles south OF Afsch, in positions pre-
viously prepared, but was forced by Turk
fsh Mudiahlds to retreat into the fortified
camp of Sheikh Osman, under the protec-
tion of the guns of warships anchored in
the Gulf of Alden. Tho Turks destroyed
the town and fortifications of Elmeihale
and captured all pioneer material there"

KAISER'S PEACE TERMS
KNOWN TO WILSON
Continued from PAGE Ono

Continued from PAGE Ono
continue the struggle was the belief that
Germany would keep Belgium and would
demand indemnities. But Germany will
demand neither II peace can be brought
about Mt the present time.
Regarding this, Il high German official
said that both sides Ought to pretty thor
oughly understand by now that there
could be no demands for indemnlties," and
as for Germany retaining Belgium, he
added, there Is no longer any thought Of
1t by the German Government"
Regarding other terms OF peace, It Is
the belief of the German Government, ac-
Cording to reports said to have been made
to President Wilson, that the only way to
establish order in the Balkans Is to dis
tribute the land inhabited by the Alba
mans. Montenegrins and Serbians between
Austria, Bulgaria and Greece. That Greece
would be given n share of the conquered
territory Is regarded as significant in it's
possible bearing upon that country's re-
fusal to enter the war on the side of the
Allies.
Three things are pointed out by Wash
ington officials in support Of forecasts of
an early peace being sought by Germany:
The Kaiser has the upper hand in the
war to date and could suggest peace with
out appearing to cry enough" The
Turkish situation is becoming somewhat
ticklish and Russia has n great new army
well equipped, for activity in the spring.

SHIFTING SANDS BLOCK
DESIGNS UPON SUEZ
Teuton and Turk March Across
Desert to Canal Not Prac-
ticable at This Season
By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD


Egypt and the Suez Canal are absolutely
safe from n Turco-Germnn attack for at
least another year. While in Athens
obtained this information direct from a
reliable source In Constantlnople Tho
Greek censorship made 1t lmpractIcabe
to canle this fact from Athens.
February was the last month when the
shifting desert sands east of the Sucz
Canal we're firm enough to sustain march,
Ing columns. Movement Of artillery or
heavy supply wagons across the desert
will be out Of question for many months.
All stories about the Germans building
railways and supply roads across the
desert are mere fabrications They create
a lot Of amusement In Constantlnople,
where the character of the soft sandy
region east of the canal is we'll known
Germans stan experts in BERN esti-
mated that Camels, travelling from the end
of the Damascus railroad to the Suez
Canal. could carry only five pounds each of
ammunition or supplies in addition to their
own forage for the long trip. This tended
to dissolve the Arabian Nights dream
picture of long trains of camels moving
enormous quantities OF army supplies to
the SueE.
II can be stated definitely that Egypt
and the Suez Canal have been left out OF
German and Turkish plans for year at
least.

pETRoGRAD. March 10.

PETROGRAD. March 13
The Russians who have been operating
In Persia, have apparently begun a march
upon Bagdad. The official army head
quarters report says:
We have occupied the town OF
Klrind, Persia in the direction OF Bag
dad.
Klrind is 40 miles west Of Kermanshah
which the Russians captured some time
ago, and only 90 miles from the Turco.
Persian frontier, almost on a direct line
TO Bagdad, which is l20 miles distant
from Krnd.
An advance of 60 miles further west
would bring the Cars troops into tho
Valley of the Diyala. an eastern tribu.
tary of the Tgris, which would give them
an easy approach to the city OF the Ca
llphs.
Military experts here have believed for
some time that the relief of the British
forces isolated by the Turks at Kutel-
Amara was likely TO be effected by the
Russians as we'll as by the British troops
under General Aylmer up the Tigris.
1t was generally supposed however,
that the big army which captured
Erzerum and then spread rapidly north,
west and south, would detach n sufficient
force for an expedition to Bagdad, as 1t
was not believed that the Russian army
In Persia was of sufficient size to under.
take such work.
Apparently the Cars forces in Persia
are stronger than was supposed or have
recently been augmented. The brief Of
fetal announcement made Is taken here
to mean the beginning of drive to the
relief OF the beleaguered British below
Bagdad.

The Rnr Todau

French troops stormed and cap
tured more than 200 yards Of Ger.
man trenches in the lie Petre
Forest, taking 20 prisoners, the
French War Office announced to-
day.
Paris reported intense German
bombardment in the regions of
Douaumont Bethincourt, the
Woevre and lie Pretre Woods, but
no infantry attacks north of Ver-
dun last night.
The German War Office asserted
that French attacks at lie Pretre
were repulsed.
The Russian march on Bagdad
has begun. The forces moving
through Persia have captured the
city of Kirind, several leagues be-
yond the strategic centre of Ker-
manshah, which already is in the
Cars possession. The Persian
campaign has a supplementary OBJ
jective In a junction with the army
of General Aylmer, moving through
Mesopotamia to the relief of Cen
eral Townshend's forces pent up in
Kut-al-Amara, about 100 miles
from Bagdad.
In this zone the British have suf-
fered heavy defeat, according to
an official communication from
Constantinople. Aylmer's column
left 5000 dead in a desperate battle
at Felahie, it is reported. The
Turks have also won a victory in
southern Arabia, near Alden, the
Moslem official bulletin says.
Entrance of Rumania is forecast
in dispatches which intimate a pact
between Bucharest and Petrograd.
The Gar agrees to give part of
Bessarabia to Rumania and will
arm and supply the Rumanian
forces, it is said.
Bulgars and Austrians are re-
ported to have attacked Rumanian
ships in the Danube and the gar
rison on the Rumanian shore
shelled the hostile outposts. This
has added width to the breach be-
tween Bulgaria and Rumania.
