follows:
y For two months after tho occupa-
tion of the sandjak Of Novi Bazaar and
Prizrend. the Austrians melted the
Turks to massacre the Serbian popula-
tiop and the refugees who had fed
before the invasion. Innumerable as
sassinations were committed. notably
at Prizrend, when a veritable BUTCH
cry took place.
THE signal was given for the mas
sacre Of 800 Serbian wounded and
refugees. who were killed by tho Bull
garians near the Monastery of st.
Nicholas, near Prizrend, and a general
pillage was organized under the
auspices of the Austrian and Bull
garian military authorities. The
latter instituted a special court
martial at Surdoulitza for the con-
domination and execution Of school,
masters and priests. Everybody, even

cality the slaughter house Of the in
tellectuals.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE FRENCH FRONT. July a.
America has a place on the map of
France. One Of the most touching of
the many tributes of fraternity and
good will to the United States on this
anniversary of our Independence day
will be the changing of the name of
the Bois de Belleau, the little rocky
patch Of woods where many young
Americans have shed their blood, to
the Bois de la Brigade ~
(deleted Americaine (American
Brigade wood). The change
on the maps of France will be
made on the recommendation of
French generals who were wit
nesses of the stirring deeds of the
second battle of the Marine.
Since the fighting started a month
ago. the French have become firmly
convinced that Americans have been
an important factor in stopping the
German drive on Paris between the
valleys of the Disc and the Marine.
The patch of woods is now famous on
account of the place it holds in Amer
lean fighting annals. 1t Is about ten
kilometers (six miles) west Of
Chateau Thierry, extending along a
hill crest between the villages OF
Bouresches and Belleau.
Once Gun Clubs Preserve.
Until caught in the last wave Of the
war at the pivotal point of Germany's
supreme effort. 1t was the hunting
preserve of gun club, the members
of which are wealthy residents Of q
nearby city. Its two square kilo-
meters (seven-tenth of square mile)
was surrounded by wire and fences to
protect the rabbits, deer and other
naimals which once inhabited it.
The highest spot. amid rocks and
shady walks. now strewn with dead
bodies and debris of war and torn
by the shells of both sides, was
crowned by a hunting lodge with
wide halls decorated with bear heads
and stuffed birds, the trophies Of the
chase.
Rich in Monuments.
The vicinity of Meaux. the high
point of Germany's advance in Sep
tember, 1914, before the first battle
of the Marne, and thirty kilometers
eighteen miles) nearer Paris, is rich
in monuments to those who feel in
the fighting that then threw back the
invaders. This year these will be
decorated July 4 as well as July IA,
Frances own Independence day. The
monuments are imposing piles OF
rough stone cemented into artistic
designs and erected on the spots
where the graves Of the sons of
France are the thickest.
Because of the kindly feeling Of the
French, plans are also afoot to erect
similar monuments to the Americans
who have fallen in these latter days
of fighting.

YPRE5 ATTACK RESUMED BY TIE GERMANS, WHO
MAKE ONLY SLIGHT GAINS on FRANCO BRITISH
Latest Attack May Be the
Prelude to General Attack
By the Foe -

! What possibly may prove to be the
, prelude TO the long expected resumption
, OF hostiIities by the Germans on the
western front IS being played.
! Southwest Of Ypres from the region,
: Of Eoormezcele to I4aClytte, the Ger,
mans have launched an attack against
the British and French troops holding,
the line. and at certain points over thet
! Gve-mile battle front they have met
with some success by penetrating front
line trenches. Apparently, however, over
! tn" greater part Of the field Of combat
they me: with repulse. '..t
AS is usual, the enemy began the at
tack after a heavy preliminary bon-S
bardment. The ground gained Is south
I'of Dickebusch lake and in Ridge wood.
around which places hard fighting was
continuing at last accounts.
The objective Of the enemy seeing TO
! be the pushing: forward Of his ;lilie IN
! this region in order still further to ON
+ flank Ypres on the southwest and press
on toward Pocperinghe and the railway
line running between that town and
Yprcs.
AS yet only neagrr adviccs have come
through concerning the nature of the en-
gagemcnt. but unofficial reports indi-
cate that it was made only in divisional
strength Whether it would develop later
into another OF the great battles that
have hccn fought in this area could not
be foret0ld.
On the remainder OF the front. in
Flanders and Pjcardy, artillery ducls
and small operations continue on iso-
lated sectors. The French. south Of La
Clyttn. have penetrated German adj
vancrd positions and taken prisoners.
and the Australians east Of Amicns.
have again pinched in and taken over
portions Of the German line The ar
tilIery activity has been particularly
heavy on both banks Of the Avre. south
west Of Alriens. and on the sector In
ricardy held By the American troops.
On the Toul s'r,tcr tho Americans for
the first time have opened against the
Germans with their heavy artillery.
On tho other battle fronts the opera
tions continue OF n minor character. IN
Mnsopntamia the British have advanced
their line 10 within eighty miles OF
Mosul capturing tho town Of Kcrknf
which tho Turks evacuated without CIV
ing battle.
