News 2 Surprise.

London, Wednesday, April 19-The news of the fall of Trebizond which comes much earlier than had been ex- pected, because it was known that the Turks had three divisions in the neighborhood of the city, and, it was supposed, would make a stubborn de. fense, is believed here to have been largely due to the successful employ ment Of the Russian fleet in assisting the land operations
 Since the brilliant dash of the Mid
 ullu, formerly the Breslau. nearly a
 fortnight ago. the Turks, aware of
 the inferiority of their Black Sea
 fleet to that of the Russians. have not
 undertaken any serious naval onera
 tions for the defense of Trebizond. The Russian strategy aimed at keep ing all the Turkish forces broueb+ from Constantinople for the defense
 of Trebizond fully occupied over tbe widest front. Thus, while the Rus
 sian armies were making a successful , advance in the Kara~Dere region and bringing up reinforcements by land and sea, they also kept the Turks busy by continuous attacks to the southeast, in the region of Ezingan and Baiburt.
 The Turks made desperate resist
 ance in the Chrouk region, knowing that the Russian seizure of Rachmed, which is the junction of the roads leading to Trebizond, Erzerum, and Erzingan, would involve the isola- ton of Trebizond and the Erzingan
 armies and seal the fate of both. Military critics are of the opinion , that no time was given to the Turks to recover and make a stand on the lambda Dere, five miles west of the Kara Dere.
 The fall of Trebizond will cause rejoicings in all the allied countries. as it is thought it will probably in vovle the speedy loss to the Turks
 of Erzingan, Kharput, and Diarbekr, and the fall of these towns would completely isolate the Turkish armies in Mesopotamia.

 Our valiant troops. after the san guinary battle of the 14th on the Kara Dere. pressed the Turks with out respite and surmounted incred- ible obstacles, everywhere breaking the fierce resistance of the enemy The well-combined action of the fleet permitted the execution of most haz- ardous landing operations and lent the support of it's artillery to the troops operating in the coastal re- zion.
 Credit for this fresh victory is part " due to the assistance given the caucasian army by the troops oper- aCiils In other directions in Asia Mi nor. By their desperate fighting and nerolc exploits they did everything in tlieil poWef to facilitate the task or

Under the broad dome Of a mango
tree on the banks of an unnamed Afri-
can river Alan Wayne had pitched his
camp. The 9elwyn tent and the pro-
jecting veranda fly were faded and
stained. The bobbinet mosquito cur
taips were creamed with age and serv-
ice. Two camp chairs and a collapsi-
BILE table, battered but strong, were
placed before the tent. Over one Of
the chairs hung a towel On the ground
squatted a take-down bath tub. half
filed with water. In the deep shadow
of the tree the pale green rot-proof
canvas of the tent, the fly, the chairs
and bathtub, cleaned almost white.
On the farther side of the great
trunk of the tree was the masters
kitchen, three stones and a half-circle
Of forked sticks driven into the ground.
On the sticks hung few pots and
pans, saddle of buck. bits Of fat and
q disreputable looking coffee-bag. Be-
tween the stones was bed of Goals.
Before them crouched a red-fezzed
Zanzibari.
From under second tree, fifty
yards away, came the dull, rhythmic
pounding of wooden pestles in wooden
mortars. The eye could just distin-
gufsh the glistening naked torsos Of
three blacks in motion. They were
singing barbarous chantey. At the
pauses their arms went up and the
pestles came down together with
thud. The blacks were pounding the
kefir corn for the mems evening neal.

Gerry turned to his work of tilling
the soil. He cut the best of the cane

the bolls Of cotton. The women stu
died the fiber and when it was long,

their time was not yet. One duty
urged another. The days passed rap
idly.
One morning Gerry looked up from
