be badly crushed and lacerated He
was hurried to the Brooklyn hospital,

indian TROOPS IN

Assault Made on Positions
Southeast Of Kut = ell :

Constantinople, Feb. 19.-Large
bodies of Indian troops formerly in
service on the Flanders front, have
joined the British in Mesopotamia
and participated in a heavy attack on
the Turkish positions, according to dis
patches received here today.
Supported by fire from a monitor
the British assaulted the Turkish
positions southeast of Kut- Ell Amara,
evidently planning to break through
and march at once to the relief of the
force at Kut- -Amara.
The attack was repulsed with heavy
loss for the enemy. The Turks coun
ter attacked as the British retreated
capturing the first line of enemy posi-
tions.
Official dispatches also reported a
Turkish victory over the Russians in
the recent fighting near the Persian
city of Hamadan.

The incident was reported by the

may be similar to that of the French
cruiser Descartes which took several
Teutons from vessels OF the Porto Rica

PROTEST AGAINST
ACTION TAKEN BY
BRITISH CRUISER
Thirty eight Germans Re
moved From American
Steamship China Prompt
Action Asked.

San Francisco, Feb. 19.-Holding
that the British cruiser which took
Germans from the American register
cd liner, China, near Shanghai. exceed
ed its rights, the China Mail Steam
ship company, owners of the China,
late this afternoon wired the state de-
partment a protest. Prompt action
against England was asked.
Advices concerning the seizure are
meager, but the companys message in
dicated tn the seized Germans num-
bered 3S who shipped out of Kiao
Chau, to eek refuge in the United
States.
The China line runs the China as the
only big steamer on the Pacific Orient
run flying the American flag. other
lines, either British or Japanese con-
trolled refuse to carry Germans from
the far east into British Columbia or
United States Pacific coast ports. Pre-
sumably the Germans were seized as
potential enemies of England, though
the China company feels that the case
parallels French seizures in the At
lantic. against which the United
States protested recently.
When the China was in the Pacific
Mail line in 1914, she and the Man
churia were held up and German re-
servsts were taken off. Advices from
Captain Frazier, of Oakland, in COM
mand OF the China, did not indicate
whether the Germans now taken off
were reservists but the company here
thinks they were Germans who had
had business or personal relations in
China
