Turks Driven Back

British Storming New Lines on

London, Feb. 27-Turkish troops

Der several thousands. Earl Curzon,
member Of the War Council, stated in
the House of Lords to-day.
The following message from General
Maude, at Kut, was read by Earl
Curzon:
"On the morning of February rs our
gunboats, cavalry and infantry moved
westward in pursuit of the retreatlng
enemy. Strong Turkish rear guards,
supported by artillery, were found to
be occupying trench positions fifteen
miles northwest of Kut, evidently COW
ering the withdrawal with their guns.
after an intense bombardment, our
infantry assaulted the enemy's posi-
ton and obtained footing therein,
while our cavalry operated around the
Turkish northern flank. During the
day numerous focks Of at least sixty
prisoners, equipment and stores were
captured"
"The slur upon our arms caused by
the events of last year is entirely
wiped out said Earl Curzon. The
whole position unsuccessfully held By
our troops and subsequently occupied
by the Turks. has been wrested from
them, and the present engagements
must alter, if not entirely transform.

Retreat May Hide
Plan to- End War
By Open Fighting

Geneva, Feb. 27.-Although the with
drawal Of German forces in the Ancre
region may signify merely the abandon
ment of tacticslly unfayorable pro-
lection of the German line at this
point, another explanation is suggested
by Americans who have come to Swift
zerland recently from Berlin. II is that
the German retirement may perhaps be
the beginning of regrouping OF the
Teutonic forces in the West, with the
intention of bringing on decisive open
field engagement to settle the war.
At the time of Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg's appointment to the chief
command last year there was much dis
cussion in Berlin concerning the field
marshals plans for concluding the war,
and particularly the possibility Of some
daring strategy to bring the opposing
armies out of the trenches and sub
stitute for trench warfare the war

favors.
This was considered in German mill
tary circles to have various advantages
for the German army, whose great num-

The nationality of the missing nom-

Dutch Government
Silent on Method
Of U-Boat Protest
Said To Be Seeking Cession OF
Ships from Germany-An-
ger of People Growing

The Hague, Monday, Feb. 26 via
London, Feb. 27).-The government has
given mo indication of its course OF
action TO be followed in connection with
the recent disaster to Dutch shipping
in the submarine attack on fiotilla OF
Dutch steamers of the English coast.
1t is taken for granted, however, that
a peaceful solution is being sought IN
the form of cession by Germany OF
certain number of ships 70 replace the
lost tonnage.
There is already talk Of wholesale
slaughter of Dutch cattle being neces-
sary, owing to the loss of fodder car
goes among those destroyed by the
submarine attack.
There is no apparent lessening of the
popular anger which has found express
sion over the spectacular attack upon
the fotilla of Dutch vessels. Indeed,
there is evidence of its intensiiication
as the impotence of Holland to enforce
reparation is realized.
II is stated that the nine large mer-
chantmen that Holland lost in the week
were insured for war risks aggregating
40. 900 900 forms. Most of the under
writer's were Swiss, but some insur-
ance was also placed with Scandina-
Wan, German and Dutch companies. 1t
is doubtful whether they viii be able
to meet their liabilities.

"scrap of paper" in the language oil
the American seamen who brought the
American freighter Orleans to anchor
here this morning. The entire voyage
was made without a U-boat being
sighted, the ship following the regular
course.
Captain Allen d. Tucker gave the first
statement when the ship stopped AT
Pauillac last night. The voyage, he
said. was uneventful, save for severe
storms and bad fogs.
The first boat TO greet the Orleans
was French topedo boat, which ran up
a large white flag bearing the inscrlp-
ton "Welcome" when the fJeighter sig
nailed her identity. As the Orleans
dropped anchor off Pauillac she was
quickly surrounded by feet of smaller
craft. with their whistles blowing ana

if submarines had sighted the ship they
didn't believe they would have dared to

Captain Tucker, a man of thirty

said: There we had the best protec-
ton of all. If the Germans had tried
to sink the Orleans there would have
been no excuse this time of inside
error We made the trip as a mere
matter of business, not as a defiance to
any one.

We have as much right to sail the sea

Wilson Appeals
To Congress for
Ship Seizure Law
Taking Over of Vessels
Building for Aliens Will
Relieve Congestion

Washington, FEB. 27.--President Will
son to-day urged upon Congress the
imperative necessity of action at this
session on the bills to increase the
powers of the Federal Shipping Board.
In a memorandum prepared for him
by Chairman Denman of the Shipping
Board the President emphasized par
ticularly the Importance OF enactlng
he law authorizing the taking over OF
ships under construction in American
yards for foreigners. The diversion OF
coastwise shipping to the foreign trade
was blamed largely for the congestion
in overland transportation. and there
fore declared to be one cause of the
rise in prices of food and other neces-
saries.
Even in the absence Of actual war;
the memorandum says. the measures
before Congress are demanded by obvi-
Gus needs. and attention is directed TO
the military value of adding to the
American merchant feet tonnage esti-
mated at between 100000 and 100000,
"Our hopes are that the whole situa-
ton may be cleared up by the restora-
ton CT peace throughout the world.
But we cannot be blind 10 the fact that
causes now contributing so consdera-
bly, to the hIgn cost Of living in our
great cities may continue for long
Leriod of time"
Chairman Alexander of the House
Committee stated that he hoped to call
up the shipping amendment in the
House for action this week. No hope
for action in the Senate has been held
out.
General legislation in the Senate
made practically no progress to-day.
and the prospect that some of the big
supply measures will fail to pass before
March was greater by twenty-four
hours.
There is every possibility that the
Senate will sit all night tomorrow and
that it will spend most of the remain
ing four days and half in continuous
session.
