the state Department.. coupled with yes
terdaE's dispatch announcing abolition
or the Armenian patriarchate in Tur-
key and the recent execution OF man..
leading Arabs in connection with the
Mecca revolt. is interpreted in official
circles here as indicating that vigorous
steps are being taken in the attempt 10
consolidate the Turkish regime through
the weakening OF the several other
racial elements of the country
Abolition Of the patriarch;ite which
had both religious and administrative
powers over the Armenians. is regarded
as designed to break down Armenian
power and place all positions in the
hands of the Turks. Before the war
there were 100000 Armenlans in Tur-
key. but 100000 are reported since TO
have been killed and 10000 to have
fed AS result. Armenian power in
Turkey is thought 10 have been entirely
dissipatcd.
Many officials here believe the execu-
ton Of Arabs at the time OF the recent
Mecca revolt indicates a further syste-
matte campaign against other races and
in favor Of the Turk

ARMY GROUP on THE SOMMt:
FRONT. Saturday. August l. Ivia Ber-
lin to London, August l6D-rhe ex-
penditure Of artillery ammunition by
the entente allies on this front has
reached a prodiSious volume, often
striking the rate of thirty-two shells n
second. Not infrequcntly along the en-
tir. Somme front nearly 10000 have
been dropped in AN hour. while a con
servativc estimate puts the average for
the twenty-four period at more than
l.0oo.o3V shells.
With this rate of fire the financial
cost OF the offensive is naturally high
What the approximate losses in human
material amount TO il is difficult To cStt-
mate. That the losses OF tho l.ritisl, in
certain actions have been frightrul is
affirmcd hy German officers. who. on
the ofhcr hand. frankly admit that their
own losses have been far from light
though all insist that thny were not
nearly so heavy as the British.
The German expenditure in amnturI-
ton has been much lighter than that
OF tn" british for the reason that the
German artillery concentrates its Of :.
forts on special objects. such as
trenches. transports and reserve bases,
but the British often screen off whol,
sectors. taking nightly under their
IRE all the villages and roads behind the
German lines within the range of their
guns.
