British in Flanders
Occupy Dominating
Positions at Merris
tBy The Associated Press)

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
RANCE July 12.-British operations
IN the Merris sector since Tuesday
nave brought the line forward to within
ABOUT quarter of a mile west of that
important hamlet and secured for the
british complete observation Of Ger
man positions in the village.
On Tuesday Australian units pushed
iorward northwest of Merris along a
front of l,200 yards to depth of $50
yards and drove the enemy from the
nigh ground overlooking Merris.
Yesterday, the British infantry again
reached out and claimed another strip
OF hostile ground west of Merris. This
advance reached maximum depth of
about half mile, and extended along
a front of 1900 yards.
AS result, the British positions
have been greatly improved, and a
small salient, which had been left in
the line after Tuesdays attack, has
been eliminated.
Four Men Take so Prisoners
esterday's operation was case Of
heihg able to sei1e an opportunity when
It was presented. At one point four
Australians ventured across No Mans
Land and by q quick assault on the
thirty and forty prisoners.
considerable body of British troops
was sent forward to exploit the victory.
ne British line was pushed forward
without much opposition and Nore than
100 prisoners, with a number of ma
chine guns, had been captured UP to
to-day.
This morning the operations were
still being continued at various points.
and one strong position was captured
southwest of Mcrris. For some time
complete control of No Mans Land, and
the Germans hardly have dared to show
their heads
risoners say that the discipline of
their troops in this zone is not up to
the mark. Recently some older men
of the 4th Bavarian Division refused
point blank to go ia.o the line again
when the order was issued by Prince
Franz of Bavaria. 1t appears that the
prince previously had made them dis
gruntled by several severe lectures be-
capture so many prisoners.

aviator, Major James b. McCudden. has
cast n gloom over the British air SER
wee IN winch ne was q prime faVOrlte.
McCudden, who had been CT, dited with
ffty-eight aerial victories, was killed
July 8 when something went wrong
with his machine while he was flying
at low altitude. Just what the trouble
was has not been determined, but
Major McCudden's machine crashed to
the ground near village in Northern
France and he was killed almost in
stantly He had just 1own back to
the front from Scotland and was to
have taken over new command. His
airplane had barely risen from the
ground to continue the journey when
the accident occurred.
Major McCudden's record comprised
forty-tive enemy planes that crashed
to the earth and thirteen that were
sent down out of control. He proba-
bly, downed still more. but only the
certainties arc permitted in an air
mans tally.
The major was cool and precise in
his methods and sure shot. He also
was gveat believer in team work. but

Wheat in Turkey
Only an Illusion

LONDON. July IA dis
patch from Constantinople dated
July 4 describes one Of the meth
DDS used by the Turkish govern
ment to make the population Of
the city believe that wheat was
arriving there from the Ukraine.
Several ships left Constanti-
nople by day and proceeded dur
ing the night to a port on the
Black Sea where stores of wheat
were held For the Turkish army.
This wheat was taken aboard and
the ships returned to CONSTANT
nople, where it was brought
ashore. 1t was announced that
this was a grain shipment from
the Ukraine. The authorities
added, however, that the army
was short Of wheat.
During the night the grain was
returned to the Black Sea port
from which it had come.

I turkey Unable to
Get information ON
/ abriz Outrage

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Turkey has
has informed the United States through
the Swedish Foreign Office chat so far
the facts as to the reported sciz-
ure of the American Consulate and
sacking OF an American hospital at
Tabrz, Persia, by Turkish soldiers,
have not been ascertained. but that it
VIII be done at the earliest possible
moment
The United States asked through
both Spanish and Swedish channels for
if regular Ottoman troops were in
volved, might mean q declaration OF
war. The attack was reported June 10
by the Spanish Consul, who took charge
OF the consulate when the American
Consul, with large party of Ameri-
cans and other foreigners left the Per
Sian city at the approach OF the Turks.
Minister Morris, at Stockholm, re
ported to-day that the Foreign Office
had informed him the inquiry of the
United States had not reached the Of
toman government until July 5. Then
the matter was presented with a re-
quest for telegraphic reply, which
now has come in the form of the state
ment that an investigation is proceed
ing.
1t is assumed here that the Turkish
government actually is having great
difficulty in communicating with it's
forces in Persia, and it will be partic-
ularly hard to obtain the facts if the
Iabrlz outrage was committed by
kurds or other irregulars
To days dispatch threw no light on
the incident. When the original re-
port of the outrages was confirmed
through the Spanish government re-
Gently 1t was indicated that regular
Turkish troops were responsible. but
this will not be accepted as a fact
pending the explanation awaited from
Constantinople.
