Capture Of Ell Arish, in Egypt,

der of Palestine and Marks Fur
thest Penetration by British Forces
Since Turkish Raids Began.

London, Dec 23-On the Tigrs the
British, after a long period of quiet,
have recently pushed forward close to
kut-El-Amara on the south and are
continuing to attack the Turkish
forces in that region evidently in the
hope of resuming their long delayed
march toward Bagdad
Now another field of activity is de
manding attention with the announce
ment from London that British forces
have captured El Erish, in Egypt on
the Mediterranean, ninety miles east
of the Suez canal,
Little has been heard from the
Egyptian operations for a long time
but the British are known to have
been making somewhat elaborate
preparations to protect the canal re-
gions from further incursions such as
that of last summer, and their de.
fensive lines have been pushed far
out on the Sinai peninsula.
To Extend Defensive Zone.
Apparently there has been a recent
effort still further to extend the de.
fensiye zone. OF which the capture OF
El Arish constitutes an important
development
The taking of Ell Arish establishes
the British front at this point we'll
toward the border of Palestine and
marks the furthest eastward penetra.
tion by British forces in this area
since the Turkish raids began.
FL Arish has been the object pre-
viously of attacks by British aviators
and warships. and last MAY a com
bined naval and air raid on the place
was reported to have destroyed the

On the Franco-Belgian front the
artillery is the only arm of the serv
ice that is displaying activity of mo
ment, and even the bombardments
such as those reported in the Somme
and Verdun regions, are not of pro
nounced intensity

Thought That Entente Has Mad,
Decision on Course

London, Dec. % Absolute and
startling surprise was the first feel
ing in Great Britain aroused by Pres
ident Wilson's note. The government
was surprised, and frankly admitted
so. Members Of parliament and the
newspaper offices were equally sur
prised, and undoubtedly the public
will be surprised whei they read Am
bassador Pages state lent to the for
eign office in the papers.
The tenor of newspaper comments
will be that Premier Lloyd-George'sl

sian, French and Italian statesmen
have affirmed the entente allies posi-.
ton, and that unless the German gov.
ernment gives notice of the nature OF.

The history of the great struggle
in his own country is too recent and
too memorable for President Wilson
TO be unaware of the perils OF too
hasty Intervention
From our side il was the specter
of European Intervention that haunt

when the cause of the North was pass

"Mr Wilson is far too wise to add
that trouble to the enormous burdens
of the nations engaged in the strug

greater. He is taking soundings."

MURDERER OF
" BILLY CLARK
Is Being Hunted for by County
Authorities and the Entire
Detective Force.
tsY Associate rarss,

ALBANY, April 15.-County au.
thorities and the entire detective
force of Albany united today In an
effort to discover the identity of the
murderer OF BILLY" Clark, the eight
year old lad, for whom the police,
boy scouts and other searching par.
ties have sought vainly. until this
morning. since he disappeared three
weeks ago.
District Attorney Harold Alexan.
der and Coroner Hastings have re.
turned from thorough search OF
that section of the pine bush wilder
ness" where the boys body was
found. but they made no announce
ment of the result. A detective, af-
ter a careful study of the circum-
stances. said he believed the body
had been placed in the woodland
swamp in which 1t was found, only a
few days ago and that prior to that
time the boy had been kept prison.
er within doors. The fact that the
body was not emaciated proved to the
satisfaction that care of certain sort
had been taken of the boy.
Examination of the body by the
Coroner's physician developed the
the fact of murder beyond reasonable
daubt. Other Indications cinvinced
tho investigators that a degenerate
was the guilty person.
