MUTINY ON THE GALUPOU PENINSULA is of the Ringleaders Arrested by the Germans and Taken to Constantinople in Chains A despatch from London says: "Strained and increasingly bad rela- tions between the German and Turk- ish army officers have led to a serious crisis. On quite indisputable author- ity a few days ago a quarrel among staff and other officers at the front in the Gallipoli Peninsula led to a mu- tiny of formidable dimensions against the Germans. The latter were forced to take the strongest measures to quell the insurrection, and with con- siderable difficulty arrested the ring- leaders and some other officers in- volved. These numbered 45. They were sent in chains to Constantinople, where they would be shot, but the German commander heard rumored threats of revolt, and did not feel himself in a strong enough position to do so immediately. The arrests caused a great sensation throughout the ranks of the army, and tended to increase the very considerable indig- nation against the Germans, who now have few real friends even among the most prominent young Turks. In spite of optimistic statements from Constantinople, the Turkish am- munition supplies are nearing exhaus- tion as the result of repeated attacks by the allied forces at the Dardan- elles. Private advices received at Athens said that the German and Turkish diplomats have renewed their efforts to obtain consent of the Bal- kan States for the passage of muni- tions to Turkey. Boatloads of wounded from the fighting on Gallipoli Peninsula con- j tinue to arrive at Constantinople. It i is estimated that 120,000 Turkish wounded are now in the Constanti- nople hospitals. A despatch from Galata says: "French and British aeroplanes have flown over Constantinople. They ; threw bombs on Galata, causing 1 heavy casualties. I Galata, on the north side of the Golden Horn, near Seraglio Point, is I Constantinople's largest suburb. FRENCH WIN SEVERAL AERIAL COMBATS Half a Dozen German Machines Forced to Descend in Damaged Condition A despatch from Paris says : French aviators are reported to have distin- guished themselves recently in sev- leral aerial combats with German ma- chines. A French craft reconnoitring above Colmar was attacked by a Ger- man machine, which it forced to des- cend within the German lines in Al- sace, evidently damaged by shots. The same day two German planes were chased back from above French positions in Artois, while two French patrols attacked and apparently dam- aged another German aeroplane. An Albatross machine was forced to the ground in the same way on Wednes- day. A squadron of ten German aero- planes which attempted a bomb at- tack on Toul and Nancy was forced to retreat by French machines, drop- ping the projectiles they carried upon open fields. 345 FAQORIES ARE UNDER "CONTROL" Excess of Employers' Profits Over Fixed Limit to be Paid Into the Imperial Exchequer A despatch from London says: Da- vid Lloyd-George, Minister of Muni- tions, announces that 345 establish- ments have been declared "controlled establishments" under the Munitions of War Act. As a result of this con- trol the profits of employers are limited. Any excess over such a limit becomes payable to the National Ex- chequer. "By this provision," says iMr. has I «... Lloyd-George, "Parliament assured that sacrifices made by work- men are made for the nation as a whole and not for the advantage of individuals. On the other hand, dur- ing the period of the war, any rules or shop customs which may have the effect of limiting the output of muni- tions are suspended in controlled es- tablishments." WAR SUPPLIES TO THE ALLIES President Wilson Tells Austria That Shipments Will Not Be Restricted. A despatch from Washington says: Austro-Hungary and Germany now know officially that there is no hope of the United States discontinuing or even restricting shipments of war supplies to the allies. â-  This the Teutonic Governments have learned from the note which the State Department has sent to Austria and which has been made public. This communication in the form of a re- ply to the Vienna protest against the business being done by Americans in war munitions sets forth the attitude of this Government clearly and firmly. Austria is notified flatly that this Government will not even consider ac- ceding to her request. So strong is the stand taken by the Washington Government that this note not only will probably end the diplomatic ex- changes on the subject, but will oper- ate as a distinct check upon senti- ment developing in this country in fa- vor of an embargo. While President Wilson in this note, as in all others lo European Governments oivthe war Issues, takes his stand firmly upon the principles involved and upon Usage of nations, he introduces 'an- other feature which by many is re- garded as the most striking in the note. The President bases his refusal to consider the Austrian suggestion on the practical grounds of its effect upon the ability of the United States to meet a foe in the event of war. The Government tglls Austria that it has been the policy of the United States from the founding of the Re- public not to maintain in time of peace a large military establishment or stores of arms and ammunition, that the United States has in fact al- ways depended upon the right and power to purchase arms and ammuni- tion from neutral nations in case of foreign attack. GERMANS ARE DRO\YNED IN EFFORT TO ESCAPE A despatch to Christiania says: Twenty-five members of the crew of the German converted cruiser Berlin, interned at Trondhjem last Novem- ber, attempted to escape by swim- ming across the Trondhjem fjord, but they were observed by a guard and caught. All were provided with bun- dles of civilian clothing, money and knives. Several were drowned. Three German citizens have been sentenced to terms of imprisonment for attempting to smuggle copper in- to Germany. The Berlin, which carried a crew of 450 men, entered the Norwegian port pf Trondhjem on Nov. 17, to escape British warships after attempting to escape from the North Sea to act as a commerce raider in the Atlantic. Rumors of German Peace Overti'res Confirmed A despatch from Petrograd say»: The Nova Vremya confirms the ru- B^ors of German overtures for sepa- |r^te peace. It is alleged that Ger- Ainy offered Russia Galicia and th« Dardanelles, with a guarantee of the integrity of her frontiers, Germany iHpulating for Egypt on the pretext of ceding the same to Turkey and for a free hand to deal with Russia's allies. "This attempt testifies," says the journal, "that in spite of her bril- liantly organized espionage Germany entirely fails to discount the senti- ment of. the Russian authorities and of the whQle Russian people." EUROPE AFTER FIRST YEAR OF THE GREAT WAR f DAWM PDINrF AGAIN REPUI^ED Fruitless Attacka Result in Heavy Losses to His Force. A despatch from Paris says: The Germans have evidently received large reinforcements in Belgium, and attempted to assume the offensive at Nieuport. They were, however, re- pulsed by the French infantry fire, and the attack was abandoned. The German Crown Prince contin- ues his attempts to pierce the ifrench line. He has had a few local suc- cesses, but the losses he has sustained in the series of attacks have been very heavy. The present position at Hill 60, which the British military authorities recently admitted had lapsed back into German possession, is peculiar and of great interest. The hill is really nothing but a knoll of gently rising ground that forms the end of the Klein-Zillebeke ridge. The German trenches run in a double tier along the crest and up- per slope, while the British trenches form an irregular line along the edge of the lower slope. The Germans are at the top of the hill, while the British are a little way up the side of it. The whole face of the hill presents a picture of the wildest confusion. Everywhere are huge craters, the re- sult of mine explosions on the night of the British attack. Torn and gap-" ing sandbags are scattered in profu- sion; broken rifles, odds and ends of equipment of all kinds, smashed barb- ed wire, and a mass of other debris lie in bewildering variety down the hillside, the whole half hidden in the lonu grass that has sprung up be- tween the trenches. The trenches twist and wind in a remarkable manner. At one point there is an old communication trench running from the British lines straight into the heart of the German position, and down this two barricades have been erected, one on the English side and one on the German side. Here the opposing forces came within six yards of each other.

Exceptionally vio- lent artillery duels are reported in the Aitois, the Champagne and the Lorraine districts. A squadron of 19 aeroplanes bom- barded the German parks and depots in the Valley of Spada. The aviators dropped 108 shells on their objective. All the aeroplanes returned without $9 off cars. + Cattle Markets.
