RUSSIANS READY ID LAUNCH ATTACK
 ON TREb|zOND Separated From Strong Turkish Fort by Only
 Sixteen Miles of
 Roadway

Petrograd, April 17-Having occupied the strongly fortified Turkish position
 on the left bank of the Kara Dere, on the Turkish Black sea coast, the Rus sian forces have passed the last of a series of natural obstacles along the coast, the defensive advantages of which
 have been made the most of by the Turks Thus they have entered the inn mediate area of the Trebizond fortitica- tions
 The Russians now are separated from the city of Trebizond by only 16 miles of roadway. no part of which is con- sidered ca apable of sustained defense, all though since the fall of Erzerum the Turks have undertaken everything pos sihle to perfect the defensive power of the Trebizond Qualifications and greatly increased the garrison, now said to con tain three divisions.
 Therefore, the word imminent" no long CT is used here in predicting the occupa- ton of Trebizond, and it is realized that the city will be taken only after hard struggle, which is likely to outclass in stubbornness and duration the one which resulted in the fall of Erzerun.
 The capture of the Kara Dere position, which necessitated the crossing of the swift stream, which is particularly swol- len and turbulent at this time of tho year, was made possible by fine assist ance rendered by the Russian fleet The Turks apparently believing the recent ap- pearance in the Black sea of their crui- ser Breslau had caused the Russian fleet to abandon the operation which it had SO successfully executed in connection
 with the land forces and not anticipating
 bombardment from the sea, set up no shore batteries and limited their con :
 struction of defenses to an elaborate sys-
 tenn of wire entanglements. A vigorous
 bomb ardment from the sea, which de-
 molished great part of the Turkish
 Notifications, was followed by an infan-
 try attack which met with little resist
 ance.

Bearcat Distinguishes Himself


 My least boy, Bearcat. showed off some at the cantata in the schoohouse luther night" related Mr Gap Johnson Of Rumpus Ridge, Ark "'Mongst otbe, things they perpetrated tableau called Empty is the Cradle; Baby's Gone. They had cradle on the platform, and Bear cat, all trimmed up in a white robe with wings on his back, was lying in if with a belt around his waist under the gown and wire running over a hook in the ceiling pane. The Glee club was going to get off the song, and at the proper moment bunch of boys outside would pull the wire and haul Bearcat up'ards perdoocin', it was estimated, solemn and moving spectacle.
 But they wanted to have the tableau along towards the last and as the plat form was small and they didn't have any scenery they put Bearcat in the cradle and set em back of the teachers desk before the crowd came. He is only years old and nacherl enough he fell asleep. and when the Glee club turned loose it didn't wake him. The first thing he knew he was climbing heavenward out of dream with something pulling at him. Forgetting where he was he gave yell and grabbed the cradle Up they went, Bearcat, cradle and all The load was heavier than the boys outside ex- pected. and they buckled to it right ably. So when the kid dropped the cradle apout three-quarters of the way up, the reac- tion caused the boys to yank him against the ceiling with fury that like to have busted the poor little fellers crust You never heard such cussing out of a 4-year- old in all your life. Although he's my boy. had no dee he was half so fluent. 7

CONFIRMATION OF VILLAS DEATH STILL
 IS LACKING AT THE
 STATE DEPARTMENT
tContinued from Page One,

the status of the negotiations with the de facto government over the recall of the troops It was indicated, however, that official informs ton as to the Parral incident still was too meagre to serve as the basis for reply to General Car ranza' message about it. Mir. Lansing said replies to both the note and the message were yet to be drafted.
 It was thought possible, however, that instructions had been sent to Special Agent Rodgers at Mexico City, communi- eating through him to the de facto gov- ernment the willingness of the United States to enter into the negotiations for the recall of the troops proposed by Gen. eral Carranza. The capitalization of re- ports of what the American. expedition has accomplished and at what cost other than financial shows the following: Villa bandits killed 70; wounded unknown prisoners, $; American soldiers killed, 8; wounded, IS; missing, 1. In addition, 4C civilians or Carranza soldiers are re- ported killed in the fighting at Parral and an unknown number wounded.
 The destruction of another army aero- plane in Mexico also was reported, leav- ing three in active service. The aviator Lieutenant Rader, escaped uninjured when the machine was wrecked. Four additional planes are en route to the Dor. der by express and the delivery of four others by the builders is expected any day.
 A state department summary reported quiet on the east coast of Mexico and at Monterey, where published accounts of the Parral fighting caused no excitement. A message from Eagle Pass said there was absolutely no anti-American feeling in the Pedras Negras district.

THE WAR SITUATION

The artillery activity in the sector be- tween Et. Eloi and the Ypres-Comines canal has been especially marked.
 The Germans have poured shells on the Russion position along the Dvina river at the Ikskull bridgehead and about DVinsk. and vigorous artillery duels have been in progress south of Dvinsk.
 In Galicia. along the Stripa river, the Teutons nave made several attempts against Russian trenches, but all of them were repulsed, according to Petrograd.
 The big guns on both sides are in &C., tion along most of the Austro-Italan front In the Sugana valley the Aus trans delivered attacks against the Ital- lans from Iarganza torrent to Mont Colo, but they were everywhere repulsed
 In Asiatic Turkey the Russians on the Black sea coast have captured the town of Surmeneh, and have pushed farther westward against the iretreating Turks to Arsene Kelessi, less than F miles from the important fortified town of Trebizond.
 The Russians are anticipating no easy conquest of Trebizond, according to un- official advices from Petrograd, the town having been heavily fortified and re- inforced with three complete divisions of troops The Turks are declared to be resisting furiously the onward press of the Russians against Baiburt, northwest Of Erzerum, in the attainment of which the Russians hope to join hands with thelr men lighting in the Black sea V toral

tContInued from Page One,

the Welland canal plot that it was the purpose or intent of the defendants to blow up and destroy other property in Canada
 Won Papen was designated by federal officers as the brains" of the alleged conspiracy The other three men whose names were made public were, according to the indictment, merely agents and em- ployes of Won Papen.

Ryan, attorney and prominent in politics in Buffalo, was named in the in. dictment as the man who acted as the intermediate in the payment of money by Non Papen to Won Der Goltz Captain Tauscher head of the Tauscher Arms company here supplied the exnIo. slves to Won Der Goltz, the indictment charges, while Von Papen furnished
 electric generators, fuses and wires.'
 In August, 1914, according to the in. dictment five sailors from the interneo German liner Bavaria, at Baltimore were brought to New York by the al. leged conspirators to aid in the plot bu, they were subsequently, returned to tbe;, ship' Arrangements then were made i, IS charged, for the five men to under. take the expedition.

The Germans have launched a powerful infantry attack against the French posi- tions from the Mouse to Douaumont, and again they have been swept back, except where they obtained a footing in a small portion of the Chauffeur wood. Ileavy casualties were inflicted on the attacking forces along the two and a half-mile battle front.
 The Germans have kept up their heavy sheling of Hill 304, northwest of Verdun and the second lines of the French in this region, probably with the intention of again throwing their infantry for ward in an endeavor to capture these important ponts-keys to the Verdun po- sition of the west

Crowded houses are the rule this week at the Strand where "The Chris tian,' the eght-part filmization of the Hall Caine novel is being shown with Earle Williams and Miss Edith Storey in the star roles. ''The Chris tian'' is a timely subject for holy week. as it tends to portray a severe indictment on modern society.

~ HARLEY CHAPLIN, in his
 . burlesque on Carmen" which O will be shown for one week at the Odeon Two, opening next Sum day, appears in a serio-comic role. Carmen is funny throughout, ac- cording to the advance notices, but at the close there is just glimpse before the stabbing of Carmen of what the inimitable Chaplin might do in tragic role.
 Should Chaplin every assay the romantic, it would be difficult to con ceive of more pleasing foil for him than Miss Edna Purviance, who is a singularly handsome and sensuousiy attractive Carmen, gives a portrayal in the burlesque that invites an in teresting comparison of her attrac- tiveness with that of any other Car men," the stage or the screen has presented.
