(Continued from poga:1);
THE LATEST GERMAN OFFENSIVE.
The Essential Point.
Genera, May 29,
The Daily Chronicle'a" correspondent at French Head- quarters, wiring on the 28th, dealing with the retreat on the Aisas admits that the enemy affected a surprise and". says it is out of the question at present for the Allies to bold all the possible sectors or attack strongly enough to make them perfectly secure. Indeed if they had men enough this is not the way in which they would be used. Nothing is more difficult for laymen to seize and yet nothing is more certain than a change of values as the war evolves. Our only notions of Chemin-des-Dames were obtained at a time much different from the present emergency, the time of fixed fronts and offensive and defensive methods that are already old fashioned. "Undoubtedly the French command found it grievous yesterday to order a retreat to the Aisne.. Feebler men might have temporised, thereby losing many good lives, which after all are more sacred than the most sacred earth. The, German attack on Chemin-des-Dames could not have been anticipated. It was far beyond "the powers of our small forces to ward of It was only" at heavy cost that the enemy got forward so quickly and continu- ously. The fact that our loeses are so small compared with the enemy's is an essential point.
French Views.
Paris, May 98 Among experts M. Rousset in "Petit Parisien" alone did not share the view, this morning that the offensive on the Soissons and Rheims sector was merely a diversion. He says Ludendorff undoubtedly wished to avoid a collision with the Allies' strategic reserves and sought a surprise. The question is whether be obtained it. M, Rousset however does not fear tho eventual result in view of the Verdun and Somme precedente. Other writers state that the British army corps occupied the weakest point of the line in the centre between 'Bermerecarourt and Craonelle and withstood the principal shock. M. Henri Bidon, writing in "Journal Debats" in the evening, points out that the Allies north of the Aisne still hold the large bridgabead in front of Soissons threatening the enemy flank and are making 'stand on the Tesle front.
A German communique claims 15,000 prisoners.
Amsterdam, May 23.
The Kaiser has telegrapbed to the Empress from, the hattle field south of Laon: God has granted us a fine victory and will further help.
*RESCUE OF ARMENIANS.
London, May 24.
The Press Barcau states that owing to Arabian co- uperation with the British forces in Palestine a number of Armenians, men, women and children, whom the Turks had deported to the deserts east of the Jordan have been resco- ed. On receipt of this news the following telegrams were sent to Emir.Faisal.
From Bognos Nusar Pasha and the Armenian delega tion to the noble born Feisal Pasha: We have just learned of the rescue of our, unfortunate fellow countrymen through the efforts of your gallant troops in South Syria. God bless and prosper the progress of your arms. The chivalrous act of the noble Moslems who fight under your banners adds fresh lustre to the annals of the Arab race. Every Armenian throughout the world is today an ally of the Arab move- ment and the praises of your clemency and the justice of your cause shall be known whereever we can make our Toices beard." ·
From the Lord Mayor of London: On behalf of the Armenian Refugees' Lord Mayor's Fund I beg to convey to the noble Emir Feisal the deepest thanks of British subscri bers for the gallant rescue of suffering Armenians by your victorious troops. »
From friends of Armenia in London: We beg to con- gratulate the noble Emir Feisal on his splendid rescue of auffering Armenians. All friends of Armenia rejoice at the progress of your victorious troops.
The King of Hedjaz has replied: Your kind message to Feisal, of which I have heard, is proof of goodwill and affec tion. We pray to God to make us worthy of your kind thoughts. Feisal in assisting the oppressed has only per-. formed one of the first duties of our religion and Arab faith, I say confidently and proudly that the Armenian race and other races in similar plight are regarded by us as partners in our fortunes in weal or woe. We ask God before everything to give us strength to enable us to do ther a helpful service by which to prove to the world the true feelings of Islam whose watchword is Freedom. God preserve you in health and bring your desires to successful attainment by His help and favour.
RUSSIAN AFFAIRS.
London, May 29. Germany has proposed to Russia to cede to Finland the western zone of Murman with an outlet to the sea where- upon Finland would return Fort Inoraivoit to Russis on condition that they did not fortify it. Russia replied pro- posing a conference thereanent which is regarded as equivalent to consent.
The Turks have occupied Alexandropol and are moving "towards Walt. The Armenians suffered heavily at Alexandro- pol The Turks previously asked the consent of the Cau- casian Government to the passage of troops to Persia de- stined against the British Government, This was refused; and it is reported the Turks bave occupied EriYAM. .
Amsterdam, May 28 The "Koelnesche Volkszeitung's" correspondent "at Kiell says that a New Federal State entitled the South- eastern Federation, comprising the Don, Kahan and other Cossacks, and mountaineers of north Caucasus and the Steppe peoples of south-eastern Russia is at war with the Soviet Government.
A Berlin telegram denies that the Grand-Duke Nicholas has escaped from Crimes
"
London, May 29.
A Russian wireless states that the Central Committee of furnish porkmen, protesta against the white terrorism in Finland and states that seventy thousand citizens, the majority Social Democrats and including thirty thouand civilians, have been imprisoned and brutally treated. A ghastly wholesale slaughter of prisoners has been comment- ed by Finnish troops assisted by Germans. 158 women prisoners were killed in one day at Laceti Mary sisters of mercy of the Red Guards were killed without trial, Field Courts Martial and commanders of detachments are still condemning persons to death en masse although the civil war is over. The Finnish proletariat calls out to the civilised world in the name of humanity to stop this mad white terrorian.
THE IRISH QUESTION,
The Daily Chronicle correspondent at Dublin' says: that Genaral, Amufa's proposal to refer Home Eula for Ins land to the Imperial Conference is finding, supporă lini
tionalisia, and Tuionista.
