[ German
Drive Opened
In Palestine
Enemy Picrces British Ad.
vanced Positions, but Is
Quickly Elected

LONDON, April 12.-The Turkish
and German forces in Palestine on
Wednesday opened an offensive, at
tacl;ing the British front near the
coast, the War Office announces.
The statement follows:
con the morning of April 10, after a
short bombardment, the enemy as
sumcd the offensive against the coastal
sector of our front. Fighting lasted
throughout the day.
"Turco- German troops who pcne-
trated our advanced positions in the
direction of Berukin and Ell Kefr were
elected by counter attacks. Our lines
were advanced at several points. Sub
stantial losses were inflicted on the
enemy and q few prisoners, both Turk
ish and German, were taken.
Attack Breaks Dawn
"On April IL & Turkish alta X di-
rectcd against our positions on the
east bank of the Jordan, in the vicinity
of FL Ghorniyeh, broke down with
heavy losses under our artillery fire
Our mounted troops pursued the re-
treating enemy Wltnln SNORT QlS-
lance of Shunet-Nimrin.
"An attack directed against our po-
sitions astride the Jerch o-Nabulus
road, west of the River Jordan, also
was repulsed."
In both Palestine and Mesopotamia
the British have been carrying on
successful campaigns for several
months, and have accomplished the de-
struction Of two Turkish armies. The
situation became such q desperate one
for the Turks that the Germans sent
troops to their assistance. Last week,
Office referred in the war report to
Palestine.
German Predicted Change
Another indication that the Ger
mans were planning offensive opera
tions on that front was the statement
few days ago by Lieutenant Gen
eral Won Ardenne, German military
writer that the tide was about to turn
in Syria and Palestine, and that the
recapture of Jerusalem had become a
practical possibility
The British front extends across
Palestine from the Mediterranean to
the Jordan River, passing about fifteen
miles north of Jerusalem. Along the
Mediterranean, where the Turco- Ger,
man attack is being made, the British
have pushed some distance north of
the port of Jaffa, which is important
because it serves as a base for the
British sea communications, and also
IS connected by railroad with Jeru-
salem. The capture of Jaffa and the
cutting of the railway line probably
are the immediate detectives of the
enemy.
In speech in the House of Com
mons on Tuesday Premier Lloyd George
said that in Palestine and Egypt to.
gether there were only two divisions
of white troops, the remainder of the
british army being made up of In
dams or of divisions with very small
proportion of white troops.

Prussia Will Annex
Large Part of Poland

AMSTERDAM, April 12-Thc safe
guarding Of the German position in

est. and therefore Prussia must de-
mand that the military interests should
be decisive over all others, DR.. Essen
Hartruthe, Prussian Minister of Agri-
culture, declared in the Prusslan up
the "Berlincr Tageblatt."
This statement is interpreted by the
"Tagcblatt' as meaning that a very
large section of Polish territory must
be added to Prussia. 1t comments very
strongly on the political consequences
OF such annexations, (which would
drive the Poles politically into the
arms of Russia and create IN the east
tor the Germans permanent breeding
centre OF political unrest, producing an
irredcnta IN our eastern provinces and
a perpetual Polish danger"
According to Berlin advices, the
Premier Of the Ukraine has sent note
to the Russian government pointing
out that as Bessarabia is inhabited bV
large number OF Ukrainians and the
