tention bat claim and insist that the
aisles have complied with every
principle involved, in substance at
least. That a variation from these
principles, if there was such, was
unavoidably and wr.s forced upon
the allies by circumstances over
which they had no control.

TURKEY MAY
SUE EOR PEACE
i
THE FALL OF TREBEZOND
HAS CAUSED THAT
DISPOSITION.
PETROGRAD, April 21.—The fell
of Trebizond into the hands of the
Russian army has proven such a
bi«w to the Turks that a report is
being freely circulated that, she
was about to sue for peace with her
eoneaerors.
1* is said that, overtures to that
end wil] be made within the next
few days, according ;o an official
whose connection ■ the Turkish
government is closely related.

ciated throughout the country by
all users.

REVOLT AGAINST
GERMANY EXPECTED
SULTAN’S" NATION DECLARED
DOOMED AND GREAT
FEAR IS FELT.
ATHENS. April 21. --News of a
Turkish uprising against the Pasha
and his German advisers is not al
together unexpected, says a travel
er arriving from Constantinople.
The final outcome it is felt cer
tain by everybody who looks for
the Allies' success, will be Pasha's
death, or at least his exile and the
expulsion of all Germans who may
escape slaughter.
In the event of the Allies’ failure
to (hive Germany from the terri
tory she now holds, it is the unani
mous opinion that Enver, unless he
should be slain by some individual >
assassin, .will remain, as virtual dic
tator, but that the Germans will be
his country's real ruler.
It is the commoner view among
Greek officials favoring the Allies,
however, that Turkey .in Europe, and
very likely in Asia, is doomed. The ■
gravest fears are entertained that
this climax will be preceded by a
terrible massacre. If one should |
occur, it is predicted that, Enver,
his native advisers and the Germans
will be the firs-: victims. Fears are
freely expressed that the butchery
will net stop here; that foreigners
and native Christians generally will
be wiped out.

MAJOR AT NINETEEN.
LONDON, April 21.—Perhaps the
youngest army officer in the whole
of the Allied armies, received an
other promotion today. His name
is Henry Pattinson and his rank is
Major. At the outbreak of the
war, Pattinson was seventeen years
old. He offered his services but
was rejected. He persisted and he
was finally accepted and sent to the
front. He was later appointed a
Lieutenant. In June last he was
promoted to the rank of Captain.
At Loos his regiment saw severe
service and after the action of Capt.
Pattinson, was the senior surviving
officer, and until a Colonel was ap
pointed he was in charge of his
regiment. Now lie has been gazett
ed as Major. He served under five
'commanding officers.
