THE ALAMANCE GLEANER:
"BUT 'TWAS A GLORIOUS VICTORY"
What this war will mean to a million mother*.
Allies ' Advancing At Yser
Paris.—The following official com
munication was Issued:
"In Belgium, according to the latest
advices, there Is nothing to report In
the region of Nleuport or Dlxmude.
"On our left wing the enemy has di
rected violent attacks against the
front of the British troops and on the
two banks of the La Bassee canal with
out any success.
"There has been a recrudescence of
activity in the region of Rheims and
along the heights of the Meuse at the
south of Fresnes-on-Woewe."
Pat is.—The French official an
nouncement given out in Paris says
that the forces of the enemy which
had passed the River Yser have been
compelled to withdraw by reason of
inundations of the low country brought
about by the Belgian army.
The text of the communication is as
follows:
"On the extreme left Inundations
brought about the Belgian army in
the tower vallew of the River Yser
have compelled the forces of the ene
my which has passed this river to
withdraw. They were subjected to a
violent cannonade b ythe Belgian and
French artillery during their move
ment of retreat.
"The Germans endeavored to deliver
very violent counter attacks on the
French and British army corps which
are progressing to the northeast and
to the east of Ypres. At the end of
the day our troops had, notwithstand
ing, continued their forward move
ment In the direction which'had been
assigned them and had also taken pos
session of various points of support.
"The British troops, assailed at sev
eral points to the north of Laßassee
by superior forces, resumed the of
fensive with energy and reconquered
to a considerable extent the terrain
yielded to the enemy. At several oth
er points on their line of combat the
British troops repulsed the attacks of
the Germans, inflicting on them import
ant losses. . -
"."On the remainder of the front there
has been no general action, only par
tial offensive movements on our part
as well as on the part of the enemy.
We have made progress almost every
where, notably before certain villages
between Arras and Albert, upon the
heights of the right bank of the Aisne
down stream from Solssons and here
and there along the Meuse to the north
of Verdun."
South Africa Rebellion Broken
London. —Col. Conrad Brlns, who has
been engaged in suppressing the re
bellion started by Lieutenant Colonel
Harltz, in northwest Cape Province,
reports that the invasion of the cape
has finally been broken, according to
a Capetown dispatch to Renter's Tale
gram company.
Protests Against U. 8. Passports
Washington.—Complaint that many
Germans posing as British subjects are
receiving passports out of Germany
from American diplomatic agents waa
filed at the state department by Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambas
sador. Information has reached the
embassy that many aliens have cross
ed the channel to England with pass
ports obtained by misrepresentation.
Acting Secretary of Btate Lansing said
the American officials in Germany
would be cautioned to exercise vigi
lance.
Greece Will Reoecupy Eplrus
London. —The Greek diplomatic rep
resentatives at the capitals of the great
powers have given official notice of the
decision of the Hellenic government to
reoecupy Eplrus, from which the Greek
army was withdrawn in' March In pur
■nance of the decision readied at the
ambassadors' ' conference fixing the
status of that country. Greece claims
that this decision is based upon the
Necessity of re-establishing order and
security In a coutnry adjacent to her

Turkey Enter* Into War
London.—The complications of the
European war have been Increased by
the entrance of Turkey Into the con
flict on the side of Germany' and Aus
tria. After the Breslau had bombard
ed Theodosla, Russia, Turkish destroy
ers sank the Russian gunboat Donets
in Odessa harbor, and damaged three
Russian and one French merchant
men.
No official declaration of war has
yet been made, but Turkey's action
seems to make it probable that the
area of the conflict may be greatly wid
ened. The Balkans present such a net
work of hostile Interests that Greece
and the other Balkan nations may be
easily drawn Into.the vortex.
Greece, it is believed, will likely be
the first state now neutral to throw
her weight against the Ottoman army,
Bulgaria holds a remarkable position.
She is bound to Russia by racial ties
and to Great Britain by obligations
for diplomatic suppqft in the last war.
Her interests and sentiments are vio
lently hostile to both Turkey and
Greece.
Christiana In Turkey In Danger
London.—There have been great
manifestations in Damascus, Asiatic
Turkey, in favor of a war against
Christians, and especially G:eat Brit
ain, according to a dispatch to the Ex
change Telegraph from Athens. The
massing of Bedouins along the Egyp
tian frontier, the dispatch adds, is be
ing continued.
1,000 Austrian* Taken Prisoner
London. —The Petrograd correspond,
ent of the Exchange Telegraph com
pany sends the following:
"It Is officially announced that on
the east Prussian front hard lighting
continues. Persistent German attacks
have been repulsed.
"Beyond the Vistula the enemy's
rear guard has been hard pressed by
the Russians on a front extending
from Lodz to Zwlchost. The Russians
captured heavy guns and several aer
oplanes.
Russian Porta Bombarded
London.—The Russian gunboat Do
nota was sunk, a part of the crew
were drowned and the others were
killed or wounded by the Turkish tor
pedo boats which raided the fort of
Odessa, according to a message to
Lloyd's agency. The Russian steam
ers Lazaroff, Wltlaz and Wliampoa and
the F.encb steamer Portugal were
damaged by shell flre and a number
of sailors killed or wounded. SheUs
also were fired on the suburbs of Odes,
sa, near a number of oil tanks, but
the 'anks were undamaged. A sugar
far'ory, however, was hit. Some civil
fans also were billed or Injured by
the shells.
Pitiable Plight Of Belgians
Brussels. —Famine menaces nearly
seven million persons In Belgium un
less they receive Immediate help from
the outside. Brand Whltlock, Ameri
can minister, asserts that less than
two weeka' food supply remains in cit
ies, while conditions In country dls
trlcts are worse. His reports from Na
mur, Louvaln and Liege say affairs In
these cities are worse than In Brussels.
Nearly half the people who have re
mained In Belgium are wandering
helplessly from town to town seeking
shelter with friends and relatives.
Canada Not Worried About Invaaion
Hot Springs, Vo. —Robert L Borden,
the Canadian premier, saw here for the
flrst time the published statement of
Count von Bernstorff, German ambas
sador, that invasion of Canada by Ger

"" A DAY WILL COME
Allies and German* Both Win
Washington.—After dayß of Inces
sant fighting, dents at last have been
made In that part of the battle line
which hud run virtually straight north
and south 'from Ypres In Belgium to
the bend In the elbow in the vicinity
of the forest of Algue In France.
Just a short distance above Its cen
ter this line now curves like an In
verted letter "8," the allies having
pushed back the Germans east of Ar
mentieres in an endeavor to press on
to Lille, and the Germans having forc
ed the allies to give ground ground La
basse, probably hoping to obtain con
trol of Bethune, u railroad center
seven miles west of Labasse.
That ground has been wop and lost
In this district is admitted In the lat
est French official report. It seems
Improbable, however, that .either en
gagement was decisive us the report
declares actions near Labasse and Ar
mentleres, near Arras, on the name
line a short distance south of La
basse, continue with great violence.
In fact, the report Buys that generally
speaking the situation on this part of
the war front remains the same.
Of fighting near the coast, where
British and French naval vessels are
endeavoring to aid the allied troops
In holding back the German advance,
nothing was vouchsafed In the report.
Altklrch, In upper Alsace, near the
Swiss frontlor, has been taken by the

Money was voted for the relief of the
province of east Prussia, which has
suffered the most during the war, and
tot- other military purposes."
Other Information given out In Ber

"The Danish steumer Rolf, from New

"A German hospital ship, searching

words:
" 'I would like to be a nurse: I could

From the Battle Front.—The Belgian
army, with the English channel on Ita
extreme wing, is showing a marvelous
fighting spirit, despite its long, hard
campaign and disappointment over the

In the terrific opon struggle along
