ALLIES ARE MASSING
FOR DRIVE IN WEST
Greatest Offensive of War Was
DELAYED by Verdun Fighting.

The greatest offensive movement OF
the war is being prepared by the Brit
ish and French along the Western
front. according to DR.. John S. OMally
and DR.. +. c. Jacobs, of Chicago, who
returned on the Noordam yesterday
from service with the American Hos
pital in France. Vast stores of ammu-
milton were being collected in convent
ent places, they said, and numerous new
hospital bases were being established
back of the lines.
This offensive. the doctors said, was
planned for April. but was checked by
the German attack at Verdun. Losses
in battles before Verdun, DR.. O'Mslly
said, are estimated at about 40 per cent
of the men engaged. Capture Of Forts
NauX and Douaumont cost the Germans
10000 men each.
British soldiers in the trenches wept
when news of Kitchener's death swept
along the front. the doctors said. At
ter the first grief had passed the men
fought with a grimmer determination
than ever to bring the war to success
ful finish. In many trenches soldiers
erected little memorials TO their dead
leader.
DR.. Charles F. Fitzgerald, Of New
Haven, also arrived. He left a medical
school in Austria when the war broke
out and enlisted with one of the Aus
trian medical units. When the recent
submarine controversy arose with the
United States he resigned.

London, Juno p3-Heavy lombard
ments and infantry actions of an in
decisive character continue on both
sides OF the Meuse about Verdun. The
Germans have launched fresh attacks
between Hill S04 and the Bethincourt
Brook, only to be repulsed by French
fire.
French assaults on the east Of the
Meuse, on the other hand. have been
successful in regaining the ground
taken by the Germans about Fort
Vaux last night.
As the result Of mine explosions and
heavy bombardment, the Germans
also succeeded in temporarily winning
a footing in British trenches near
Givenchy. An attack BY Welsh troops,
however, regained the lost ground.
The official statement issued by the
Paris War Office says:
ain the region to the south OF
Lassigny a strong German reconnais-
sance attacked one of our advance
posts after artillery preparation. Re-
pulsed by our fire, the enemy dis
persed, leaving several dead on the
ground.
"On both banks Of the Meuse the
bombardment with shells Of heavy
cslibre continued throughout the day
with extreme violence. On the left
bank the enemy especially directed his
fire against our positions on Hill 3o4
and lie Mort Homme and on our second
lines in tho region OF Esnes and Chat

AT six o'clock in the evening an
attack directed against our trenches

Holy City of Mecca Taken
From Turks by the Arabs
Uprising Is Regarded by London Newspapers as Smashing
Blow at Ottoman Prestige-Jddah, Chief Seaport
of Arabia, Also in Hands of Rebels

five miles southwest Of Bagdad, In Mes
opotamia. which Is a sacred city be-
cause IL contains the tomb OF Husseln'
grandson Of Mahomct. All the Turks
were driven out of kerbela.
The Grand Sheriff was presumably
aided in the management Of the Mecca
movement by his sons, who long have
been regarded in European circles as
very able men.
The revolt is the outcome OF the So
called Pan-Arab movement which has
been gaining impetus since 1913. IL
aims at the abolition of Turkish mis-
rule. oppression and mal-taXation, at
the election Of the Turks from the
whole of the Arabian Peninsula and at
the formation of a great confederation
Of Arab tribes.
The fact that Jiddah. the seaport OF
Mecca, is in the possession OF the
Grand Sheriff makes it possible for the
British now to resume trade by sea
with these ports. and it opens the way
for resumption of the annual pll-
erimagcs by British Moslems. which
had been attended by great dilhculties
in the last two years.
Turkey Silent on Revolt.
The only news from Turkey OF the
revolt Of the holy citizens Of Arabia
is a brief statement in a Constantl-
nople communication saying, "a Brit
ish warship appeared in SheikmemiJe
Bav. off the Hajaz coast" nor have
any further details reached the pub
lie from the Entente powers. The
morning papers again emphasize their
belief that the revolt will be certain
TO prove of capital importance IN the
near future, probably meaning the re-
moval Of the head of the Moslem
Church from Constantinople TO Mecca.
Great Britain, as the greatest Mos
lem empire. has the keenest inter
est in the movement. Since the early
davs of the war Great Britain has en-
deavored TO maintain its attitude Of
the highest respect for the Mahometan
religion.
AT the outbreak of the war
proclamation was issued declaring that
the holy places of Arabia, including
the shrines of Mesopotamia and the
mort OF Jiddah, would "be immune
from attack or molestation by British
military forces as long as there is no
interference with pilgrims from India

FIGHT OFF FOKKERS
ON RETURN TRIP
Another Squadron Shells Treves
and Reports That Bombs
Started a Great Fire.

Paris, June 22.-The Official state
ment issued to-day regarding war op-
erations relates largely TO the opera
tions of the aerial squadrons. Two
fights, one Of 10 miles, from Nancy to
Karlsruhe, and one OF about 10 miles
from the western front 10 Mulhein, on
the right bank OF the Rhine, two miles
northeast Of Cologne, are described as
being successful.
During the retirement Of the French
squadron from the latter point on aerial
battle was fought with a feet of Fox
kers. The statement follows:
an reprisal for the successive bonn
bardments carried out by the Germans
the last few days on the open towns Of
Barbecue and Luneville, our aerial
squadrons have executed several op-
erstions in enemy territory.

Another group of ten aeropl set

bank Of the Rhine). Fifty shells were
dropped on the military establishments
at that town. This fight was about
175 miles and return.)
Pursued by a squadron OF Fokkers
on their return from Mulheim, our ma
chimes gave battle, in the course OF
which a Fokker was brought down.
One Of our machines was obliged 20

trouble.

London. June 90 Reports have been
received here that serious uprising
against the Turks is in progress IN
Arabia. and that the rebels have capt
ured the holy city. Of Mecca.
The London newspapers declare that
the rebellion is certain to have an I'M
portant bearing on the war. especially
as regards the participation of Turkey.
THE Post" says: "The uprising is due
10 recent wholesale executions of Ma
hometans and Syrian notables and well
known religious leaders. and also to
the spread in Arabia of a feeling that
the Turks have ,abdicated their posi-
tion as a protector of the Mahometans
and have become the vassals Of Ger
many"
"The Graphic" says: "The revolt is a
smashirg blow AT Turkey, and the
capture Of Mecca is an event winch
will shake Turkish prestige to lis foun-
dations.'
Jiddah Also Captured.
A Reuter- dispatch from Cairo says
the rebels. in addition to taking Mecca,
have captured Jiddah, the chief sea-
port of Arabia. and Taft, sixty-fye
miles southeast Of Mecca, and have
proclaimed independence of the Arabs
from Ottoman rule.
According to this dispatch, the Grand
Sheriff of Mecca, the chief magistrate
of the holy city, proclaimed his inde-
pendence and was supported by the
Arab tribes of the west and central
parts of the country. He began opera
tions about June and won signal sue
cess. 1t is said the garrisons of Mecca
Jiddah and Taft surrendered, with the
exception of two small forts at Tan
which are still resisting.
At Jiddah forty-fve officers, l.4oo
men and six guns were captured: Me
dina. 24s miles northwest Of Mecca,
which contai& the tomb Of Mahomet'
is closely besfeged, and all communi-
cations to Hejaz are in the hands OF the
