continues TO develop along the German
front at Ypres, Loos and on the Somme,
the night statement OF the War Office
claiming that enemy trenches had been
entered at numerous points.
As yet, however these engagements

local in character. They are conduct
cd by small bodies Of troops and seem
to be aimed at sounding the strength OF
the German positions. Few prisoners
have been taken.
In one of these attacks gas which the
British employed, according TO Berlin,
was blown back across the British
trenches.
At Verdun the French are continuing
their counter attacks, but Berlin claims

Fleurv also were checked.
Nine German divisions concentrated
in the recent attack on Thiaumont,
north OF Verdun, have been definitely

court. on the extreme left Of the French
front at Verdun, and st. Mihiel, on the
extreme right, a total of twenty-three

Bavarian divisions, has been identified.

German attack was repulsed near the
Ypres- Menin Canal. All along the front
our patrols were very active, entering
enemy trenches at numerous points and
inficting many casualties and captur-
ing q few prisoners. Early this morn

during a successful raid
The Berlin statement says:
"On the British front and the north
ern wing of the French army patrol

smoke clouds hoated toward us. They

some places foated back to the enemy
trenches. The enemy fire was directed
with especial intensity against us on
both sides Of the Somme.

TURKS STARVING
LEBANON SYRIANS
Twenty Notables Condemned to
Death-Many Imprisoned.

London, June -Deplorable condi-
tions prevailed in Syria. the Marquis
OF Crewe said in the House of Lords
to-day in statement dealing with the
Arab revolt against the Turks. A cor
don had been drawn by the Turks
around the Lebanon district. and they
were virtually starving the inhabitants
of that district. Bearing in mind the
fate Of Armenia, he said. it was i'm
possible not 10 feel the gravest con-
Germ for the fate threatening the in
habitants Of Syria.
The Turks had exercised the great
est tyranny on Syrian notables. con-
tinued the Marquis, and had condemned
twenty of them TO death and many
others 10 imprisonment or exile. He
understood that representations had
been made by the Washington govern
ment 10 the Turkish government, and
II was difficult to see what further
could be done. 1t could only be hoped,
he added, that military successes which
might be obtained in a different part
Of the world might have the desired
effect in this direction.
