The great attack was made in CO.

the Turkish coastal wing vigorously.
Military critics here regard the allied
drive in Macedonia and the offensive
in Palestine as two operations with one
single objective-to put Turkey out OF
the war. Indeed the plight OF the
Turks has not been worse since the
start OF the war.

eERMANs sATTLE FOR BREAD.
Food Problem Held to Be Back Of
Present Offensive in West

London, April 15.-"victory now is a
synonym for bread in Germany" de-
clared Baron Rhonnda, British control
ler, in explaining to the Associated
Press the bearing of the German food
problem on the offensive in the west.
1T is fight not for Paris but for
food" he added. "The cry of give us
bread resounds incessantlyin Hinden-
burg's ears, and in my judgment that
cry has set the German legions NOV
ing.
"The kaiser hoped to starve us with
U-boat warfare. The Russian gran
aries were only a mirage. The de-
spairing energy OF hunger is at the
heart Of the fury Of this battle"
After referring with pleasure to the
manner in which the British nation had
accepted the bread rationing, the baron
concluded:
America is at one with us and I
can never too warmly speak of her
generous help in the matter of food
supplies. We are one people. That is
our reply to Germany"
