The land fighting of last night brought

shal Haig's troops gained a complete vic
tory, restoring the position intact and
taking some prisoners.
The French success was still more i'm
portant, as it represented net gain of
ground for the allies on the Somme
front. In an intensive operation, her
aided by brief heavy bombardment, the
French captured Grivesnes park, five
miles north of Montdidier, and held their
own there against counter measures by
the Germans, taking $50 prisoners dur
ing the fighting.

park at Griyesnes, an important part
Of which had been occupied by the
Germans. In this operation we took
25s prisoners, including four officers,
and also a considerable amount of
material. Notwithstanding the Wig

tempts of enemy patrols to approach
our new line, our infantry main

 by Turks Arc Terrible.

BernA Switzerland. March l6.--- in Asiatic Turkey by William \. Cham bers, representative of the Am erican committee for Armenian and Syrian relief, corroborate recent advices respecting new massacres on q large scale by the Turks.
 "t'rom reliable sources I under stand tho situation in the districts being re-occupied by the Turks is terrible" MT. Chambers said today. On the pretext that Armenian bands are at work. the Turks are carrying out general and bloody reprisals. There is serious apprehension that similar atrocities are being begun in the Caucasus.
 The reports from Armenia and Syria show thero has been intense suffering in the last few months on account of the severity Of the winter, abnormal high cost of food, scarcity of fuel. lack of clothing and medical supplies and prevalence of disease
 The number Of orphans for which the American committee is caring is growing steadily" said Mr Cham bers All the resources of the peo- pie daported by the Turks are ex- hausted. and the gravity of the sltu- atjon is increasing. It is dollars or death, and America cannot afford to hesitate in this great human effort to save the remnant of the persecut- ed Christians in Turley.'

Thrilling Scene as Secretary of War Reviews First Brigade Marching Past in Full Field Equipment and With Elastic Tread-CalIs It Point of Wedge Driving Into Adversary

With the American Army in France March 20 (By the Associated Press) -Secretary of War Baker today con- c1uded his visit of inspection to the American military zones in France with a trip which took him from the Vcrdun sector to Great Headuuar- ters and included a review of one bri- gade of the First division, which he addressed as representative of the whole army. He also visited the birthplace of Jeanne D Arc and made an incidental inspection of the troops here and there over the route which he traversed. Tonight he de- parted to fulfill other aspects of his visit to France.
 The brigade of the First division was reviewed from @ stage on Q high plateau commanding a wide pano- rama of one of the most scenically beautiful parts of France. It IS reached by a steep winding road from the valley below. A 20 hours rain had made it inaccessible by mo- tor, so the secretary and his party made the ascent on foot, slipping and sliding on the grassy mud.

Increase Of Belligerent Spirit Is
 Shown in Various Sections
FOUR REGIMENTS VOLUNTEER
Commander of Moscow Defcnses Re- views Force Which Declares for War-4ArmenianS in Southeast Call General Mobilization,

Moscow, March 19 (By the Asso- ciated Press)-The uneasiness caused by the seizure of Odessa and the gaining by the Central Powers of con- trol of the Black sea has intensified the panic in North Russia and has strengthened the now general belief that in a short time the Germans will advance on Moscow and Petrograd. The Trans-Caucasian constituent as- sembly, meeting at Tifiis, has refused to ratify the peace treaty with Ger many and has urged an immediate war on Germany.
 The Germans explanation that they are not fighting Russia when they as- sist independent Ukrainia to defeat Bolshevil1 forces is hooted by the Russian press generally, which con- tends Germany's peace treaty with Ukrainia, is only a tlimsy pretext to diSm em Der Russia.
 Leon Trotzky has arrived here from Petrograd and announces he will remain hero to assume the duties of minister of war, if there is war, but otherwise he will decline the post. The commander of the Mos COW defenses today reviewed four regim ents of volunteers who declared unequivocably for war. Many experi- enced army officers now have joined the Bo1shevik general staff which well comes them regardless of their poll tics.
 Indications point to the adoption of rigid discipline among the new forces and the restoration of trained officers to their commands. The Bol- shevi< leaders insist that the new organizations must be volunteers.
 Reports from northern Russia say the Courleia district in which is Kola, the only ice free port on the Arctic shore, is located has asked Finland to annex 1t. This is regarded as part of the German plan to help the Fin nish government forces isolate Russia from the Baltic and Arctic. The evacuation of Petrograd con- tinues and the government bureaus are being transferred to Moscow, Nizhnt Novogorod and Perm as rap- idly as the disabled railways permit. The trains are under heavy guard and have to force their way along railway lines crowded with soldiers returning from the front and refu- gees fleeing before the German ad- vance.
