FURTHER BRITISH
GAINS RECORDED
SUCCESSFUL ATTACKS MADE BY
HAIG's MEN AT A NUMBER OF
POINTS ALONG YPRES.
Artillery Busy in the Austro-ltaiian
Theatre, Another Great Battle
Being Experimentation IN
Russia Remains Tense.

London.-The demoralized Germans
along the Ypres front have been max
ing frantic efforts TO regain the ground
they lost in the titanic drive of Field
| Marshal Haig's forces but without
success. South of Ypres also the
Teutons heavily bombarded the Brit
ish positions, failing, however, to make
any gains.
Aerial activity between the German
and British hiers continue Saturday
Nine enemy machines were accounted
for by the British, who themselves lost
three.
There has been no fighting along
that part of the line where the French
are facing the Germans rising above
the character of small surprise at
lacks. On the Chemin-des-Dames the
Germans early Sunday morning pene-
trated small salient west of Cerny,
but almost Immediately were driven
out with the loss of many men made
prisoners.
In the Austro-Italian theater the
fighting is being done entirely by the
artillery wings of the opposing armies.
There has been no attempt at a re-
sumption by the Italians of their great
offensive on the Carso front, although
it is believed another great battle prob
ably is not far distant.
In Macedonia, especially along the
Yardar river sector, artillery duels are
in progress.
The situation at Kronstadt, where
the council of workmen's and soldiers
delegates is still defying the provision
al government, remains tense. Appar-
emily, as its first step in carrying out
its threat to take resoIute action, the
government has recalled various Off
Gals from Kronstadt. A heartening
sign in the crisis there is the fact
that the fleet in that port is reliable
and can be depended on to aid the gov

The reign of Constantine l as king
If the Hellenes was brief, dating only
from March IS, 1913, when his father,
George |, was assassinated in Salon
Xxi.
Brief as the reign was, Constantine
had enjoyed prior to the beginning of
The great war in 1914, a period of re-
markable popularity and had in
creased the territory of the Greek
monarchy by over 80 per cent. His
attitude of opposition toward the en-
tente powers when their troops occu-
pied part OF Greek territory in the
Macedonian campaign against the
Teutonic allies. however, brought him
into conflict with the statesmen of
Greece ard resulted in the establish
ment of provisional government
headed by Eliphtherios Venizelos,
whom the king had driven from the
post OF PREMIER
Throughout Il long series of negotia-
tons and conflict with the entente
commanders Constantine was often
accused Of being pro-German in syn
pathies. largely, il was charged. as
result OF the influence of Queen
Sophia. sister Of the German emperor,
whom he married in 1889. Constan-
tine declared throughout that he de-
sired only to maintain neutrality and
that he was actuated not by pro-Ger-
man sympathies but by considerations
of the welfare of the Greeks.

RUSSIANS ADVISED
OF OUR WAR AIMS
POSITION OF THIS COUNTRY
IN COMM UNiCATION.
No Annexstions, No indemnities and
No Territory Must Change Hands
Except for the Purpose of Fair
Chance and Liberty.

Washington.-Pres Wilson, In a
communication to the new government
of Russia, has made plain the war
aims of the United States and its po-
sition on mo annexations no indem-
miles,
mo territory must change hands ex-
cept for the purpose of securing those
who inhabit it fair chance of life
and liberty says the communication.
mo indemnities must be insisted
upon except those that constitute pay
ment for manifest wrong done.
mo readjustments of power must be
made, except such as will tend to Sc
cure the future peace Of the world and
the future welfare and happiness of its
people"
In unmistakable terms President
Wilson declares against Germanys
proposal to restore the "status quo" be-
fore the war.
1T was the status quo ante out of
which this iniquitous war issues forth"
he says, "the power of the imperial
government within the empire and its
widespread domination and influence
outside of that empire.
THAT status must be altered in such
fashion as to prevent any such hideous
thing from ever happening again"
The presidents communication was
delivered 10 the Russian government
by Ambassador Francis at Petrograd.

merit and proven worth" Of
the Z. M. G. A. does not entitle
it to any greater public con-
sideration than is due the Knights
OF Columbus. Since both are
asectarian'' organizations, the one
has as much right as the other to
be recognized by the War Depart
ments as an agency for good in
the army and navy. The field
does not belong exclusively to the
Y. M. c. A. Hence, in their work
for the soldiers, the Knights of
Columbus are not in competition
with the Y. NJ. G. A., and, assured
ly, not in opposition. Their
primary object is to do for Catho-
lies what the Y. M. G. A. is doing
for Protestants. Are the Knights
to be condemned for this? lis it
wrong for them to introduce sec
tarianism into their work Of
charity which is primarily Cath
Ollie and, therefore, sectarian.
They are not ashamed of their
sectarianism. If the Y. M. G..
A. were as honest in admitting it's
true character as the Knights are,
it would be far better for the AS
ISOLATION in the long run.

According to reports from the
National Convention of the.
knights Of Columbus. held this
week in Chicago, the Order has
had little difficulty in raising a
War Camp Fund of 81, 100000 for
the purpose of ministering to the
spiritual and material welfare OF
Catholic soldiers in the Army and
in the Navy. The establishment
of recreational centers in the diff
ferent camps will, undoubtedly,
prove a great benefit to the SOL
diers; and as these social centers
are not intended for the exclusive
use of Catholics, they will be Of
value to the entire army. But the
most important phase of the work.
which the Knights hope to accom-
plish is the maintaining Of priests
