REPuLSE
 RUSSIAN FORCES
 IN MESOPOTAM|A
In Caucasus Also Ottoman Troops Gain Victory Over
 Entente Allies.

From the Baltic sea to the Danubian
 region of Rumania, the Russians an'l the forces of the Teutonic allies con tinue almost inactive in their trench
 es Only sporadic exchanges of rifle fire and here and there small recon
 noisances are being reported. On both the Caucasus and Mesopo- tamia fronts the Turks inflicted re- verses on the Russians. according to Petrograd. South of ErZergim, the Kurds repulsed Russian forces after
 stubborn fight. while in MesOpo-
 tamia the Russians were forced to
 retreat across the Diala river in the case of superior forces.
 A significant statement as to the
 desirability of Great Britain accept ing separate peace with Austro-Hun- I gary has been made by the chancellor
 of the exchequer in the house )Oi
 commons There never has been "a
 question of separate peace, said the chancellor, but as Germany always is trying to detach ono of her allies it might be "that no blows would
 seem so fatal to Germany as if one of her own allies were detached from the fight"
 On the front in France, the British
 after days of fierce fighting, having taken in entirety the city of Reaux, east of Arras, and north of Gavrelle have pushed their lines forward. No infantry engagement has taken place
 between the French and Germans,
 but the artillery is still roaring In the great duels which always are forerunners of attacks.
 From April 9 to May 12 Germans
 to the number of 49,579 have been
 made prisoners in France by the
 British and French. In addition, 444
 heavy and field cannot 943 machine guns and 386 trench mortars were
 captured.
 That Great Britain is to immedi-
 ately adopt more aggressive atti- tude in the war with her navy IS
 shown by the appointment of naval staff headed by Admiral Jellico, one of her best sea fighters. The staff also is to have charge of speedinA up ship building and carrying out other details necessary to the naval conduct of the war.
 Germany's submarine campaign sn far as France is concerned has not
 been as successful as against Great
 Britain and neutrals. In three
 months, since the intensified cam-
 paign began, only 17 French mer'
 chantmen have been sunk.

 GERMAN U.b0A1
Gunners of Mongolia De- clare They Fired Shot
 During Recent Voyage.

(Place deleted), May 14.-The Amer ican steamship Mongolia, from which the country's first shot in the war with Germany was fired with such ac- curacy that a German submarine was sunk, arrived at an American port yesterday from Europe bringing re- port by the officers of another appar- ent encounter with U-Boat.
 The second adventure was on May 4, according to Lieut.. Bruce M. Ware, the man who commanded the naval gun crew which disposed of the sub marine on April 19, the anniversary of the battle of Lexington.
 The Mongolia was on her homeward voyage, Lieutenant Ware said. when about midnight. on May A. the wake of what was believed to be a torpedo was seen ahead in the moonlight The missile, if it was one, passed under the ships bow. No submarine was sighted, but a shot was fired from one of the MOngolia's guns. in the di- rectiOn from which the supposed tor pedo had come, and nothing was heard or seen to indicate a submarines | presence.
 The gunners on the Mongolia were jubilant upon their arrival They reiterated their conviction that the shot on April 19 sank the submarine 1 It was fired, Lieutenant Ware said. by James A. Goodwin, gunner's mate of Portsmouth, Va. Lieutenant Ware de- clared that through his glasses he saw the shot strike the U-boat's periscope and that the hit was followed by a cloud of white vapor as if an internal explosion had been caused. After that the submarine did not reappear, he said.

Says High Wage For
u. S. Sailors Will
Handicap America

New York, March 10. - Higher
wages paid sailors on American as
compared to English merchant ships
Twill handicap this country at the
close of the war in its competition
with England for commercial SUI
premacy of the seas, according to DR..
George Sidney Webster, of the Ameri-
can Seamen's Friend Society. DIR.
Webster's opinions are based on OBJ
servation in a number of American
ports and especially in the port of
New York where O large Sailors
Home is maintained on the North
river waterfront.
THE increased merchant ship pro-
duction in this country" says DR..
Webster will not of itself give the
United States a commercial suprem-
acy of the seas, although in 1916 the
output for probably the first time in
history approXimated that of Great
Britain.
This increased production will not
entirely fly under the American flag,
but even large percentage of the
ships which should be under Ameri-
can ownership will be under foreign
registry at the end of the war, when
the protection afforded by the Ameri-
can flag is no longer necessary and
the lower wages paid on foreign ships
will offer great inducement for for
eign registry"

King Decorates Irish
Chorus Girl For Pluck

London, March 14.-The Dublin re-
bellion of Easter Monday last year
was recalled at Buckingham Palace
the other day when the King decorat-
ed with the Military Medal Miss
Louise Nolan, a chorus girl, for hero
ism in dragging wounded officers and
soldiers to safety under heavy fire.
The inscription on the medal read
''for bravery in the field"
Miss Nolan was coming home from
her music lessons in Dublin on Easter
Monday when she heard firing and
saw wounded men lying in the street.
Throwing down her music roll, she
ran to them and dragged them to
safety. Although soldiers were killed
beside her, the girl returned to help
more wounded and then ran through
a hail of bullets to get brandy for
them.
Describing her visit to Buckingham
Palace to receive her reward, Miss
Nolan said: "a gentleman came to
tell me what to do and how to cour-
tesy to the King. He was very nice
and then my name was called and l
was shown into a beautiful room
which was all in red, and there / saw
the King. He pinned the medal on
my dress and shook me warmly by
the hand, and took good care to give
him a good shake of the hand in re-
turn was very proud to hear him
speak my name"

Germany's Dream Of
Empire Not Ended

London, March IA. "Germany's
aim to extend her dominion from
Antwerp to the Indian Ocean Is by
no means defeated and will not be
defeated until the end of the war"
said Earl Curzon, member of the Brit
ish War Council and former viceroy
of India, in the House of Lords the
other day in reply to a question by
Lord Bryce, former ambassador to the
United States. Lord Curzon said that
while the Turks still are in possession
of 10000 square miles of territory in
Persia, the Russian troops are barring
their further advance in that country.
Persia was the scene of trouble
soon after the outbreak of war. The
popular theory in this country is that
it was engendered by German agents
with view to furthering Germanys
dream of a dominion from the At
lantic coast to the Indian ocean.
In explaining the state of things in
the near East, Lord Curzon said that
the prospect of German success in
Persia was best in August last, but
that since then it had greatly lessened
so that now the situation there was
almost satisfactory to the British
government. To aid the Russians in
clearing out the Turks, Lord Curzon
said reinforcements are now being
sent from India and that it was hoped
to restore order there before many
months.
I'VE seem to be in fair way"
continued Lord. Curzzon, ito be con-
solidating the position against the OF
toman power. I cannot say that the
situation is altogether free from
anxiety. Turkish troops have still to
be turned out from the western por-
tions of Persia. The southern part
and shores of the hinterland of the
Persian gulf are still in a state of
disorder, and the trade routes are not
yet all opened. But 1 think we may
say that the worst is over, and the
particular link Persia has supplied in
this great German chain of ambitions
has been forcibly twisted aside if II
has not been broken"

lent and inactive, while the wires of
special privilege, dishonesty, and in
competence were being pulled for the
benefit of a few at the expense of the
many.
1t knew that on the strength of his
rejected certificates S3,169.S3 of the
States money had ben paid to fif-
teen horse owners during 1916 alone.
1t knew that his certificates had
been approved on eighty-seven oc-
casions involving the testing of 217
horses between the dates of Janu-
airy 2, 1916, and February 8, 1917.
1t knew that no question had ever
been raised regarding his integrity.
1t knew that he was exactly the
same sort of veterinary February 8,
1917, as he had been since the re-
gents of New York admitted him to
practice July, 1909.
1t knew that he had annually regis
terd himself pursuant to law show
ing his continued good standing in
his profession.
1t knew that an annual certificate
had been issued to him by the State
authorities since the date of his ad-
mission to practice.
Yet it suddenly discovered, or pre-
tended to discover, that DIR. Griess-
mans name was not on the "approv-
ed list"
The boldness of this effort to disci-
pline man who refused to play poll
tics in the performance of his public
duties reveals more than any other
one episode within my knowledge the
brazen contempt manifested by poll
ticians either for public decency or
public welfare.
In the Russianizing of one depart
ment of State government the abuse
of authority in injuring a citizen who
dares to criticize the tyrannical acts
of his superiors menaces the integrity
of every person of the veterinary pro-
fession.
1t is to the veterinary that we must
look for the protection of the health
of our animal industry.
Yet the Gill-Griessman episode
serves notice upon all veterinarians
that they are not FIRE agents. that
thy are subjects to official oppression:
that they must not, dare not, and can
not carry on the work for which their
special education equips them and to
which their oath of Office commands
them.

CHAPTER 1ss

CHAPTER 1873
Veterinarians must be free agents
they must be subject of no official
Dppression-they must fearlessly carry
ON the constructive activities to which
their oath of Office assigns them
otherwise they become an actual
menace to civilization - the Gill
; 5riessman case does much to make
the people understand the gruesome
consequences which grow out of po-
hiicaI interference with public health
matters.
Frank Glushenok, farmer, Route 2,
Yanic, Conn.,, has purchased many
horses from Cohen & Alex during 1915
and 1916. He always had them test
ed by the same veterinarian, DR..
Griessman. They had always been
shipped through the hands of the
State officials on DR.. CHEESEMAN'S GER
tiflcate.
There was no reason why on gray
mare, blind left eye, fiea-bitten, ten
years old, sixteen hands high, free
from ISLANDERS, should not have been
shipped to him Friday, February g.,
1917.
DR.. Greissman, however, had filed
charges against DIR. Gill, who pre-
viously had honored all of DR.. Greiss-
mans certificates.
While these charges remained sec
tificates. Within four hours after they
had been made public Gill rejected
them. DIR. CHEESEMAN'S name had sud-
denly disappeared from the approved
list
The public must derive small meas
ure of consolation from its knowledge
that while it was kept uniformed
concerning the relations of DR.. Gill
Mr.. DIR. kreisSman, DIR. CHEESEMAN'S
certificates were good" whereas the
moment the facts were aired DR..
CHEESEMAN'S certigcates b a m e
worthless"
The politics that thus Disseminated
against a servant of the people who
appreciated the meaning of his oath
of office knew when it announced its
excuse for rejecting his certificate
that he was a qualified member of
the New York Veterinary Medical As
sociation.
1t knew that he had been passed
by the Board of Censors of the New
York State Veterinary Medical Asso-
citation.
1t knew that he had ben legally
licensed and legally registered.
1t knew that, he had served with
Professor Williams of Cornell on the
prosecuting committee of that asso-
citation.
1t knew that on the strength of his
certificates it ahd tagged, strapped,
and authorized for shipment hundreds
of horses from New York State to all
the other States of the Union.
