3.?The report that Germany had made
peace proposals to Russia was circu
lated In official circles here several days
ago and was discussed freely In the
lobbies of the Duma, says the Vechernee
Vremya.
"We learn or. good authority," adds
the newspaper, "that Germany, through
Denmark, proposed to Russia a separ
ate peace, Russia to receive Oalleia,
while Germany would retain the west
ern district of Poland. A representa
tive of the Foreign Office categorically
denied that there was the remotest pos
sibility of any peace negotiations. In
the lobbies of the Duma, the proposal
was dismissed as unworthy of serious
consideration "

"'Despite the fact that the Russians
had removed all the supplies and had
set fire to all the villages, the German
and Austrian railroads were reopened
speedily, and the problem of restoring
traffic for the purpose of forwarding
troops was quickly solved.
" 'Great herds of cattle, which were
driven behind the advancing Teutonic
troops, permitted the latter to receive
three warm meals daily. The colossal
organization of the victorious Germans
caused a veritable sensation In the
evacuated villages. This organization
enabled the Germans to maintain hun

the Vistula and the Bug in much the
same, manner as they would have lived
at home. Millions of bottles of mineral
water were distributed among the

The entire world is marvelling ut the extraordinary teat, of the (ierman drive, in which they routed the

were counted, and the result achieved j
Is represented by zero.
The bombardment eeasod about 7 A. , ,
M. A little later the Ari Burnu posi- (
tion was reached, and the Journey c<>v- ;
ered ground formerly occupied l>v the;
British troops, which at Ari lJurnu
are exclusively contingents from Aus
tralia and New Zealand.
The center of the British position is
Ari Burnu, or Cape Ari. Hero a Ions'
outer trench has been dug. Behind this
outer trench the British have cstab- j (
lished a second line of defense, con- !
slstlng of two short sectors. Back of t
the southernmost of these sectors lies
another trench, serving, evidently, as a ,
support to an artillery redoubt located
on the summit of Cape Ari itself. j (
This may be called the center of th?i
British position, though the left Hank ?
of the British consists of a single short
trench on a hill about 400 yards north
of the extreme point of the northern
sector.
The British right flank, or southern
series of intrenchmonts, is located on
the southeast of the Korkou-Dorest
Creek, and follows the course of an ad
vanced trench and two supporting sec
tors.
With Ari Burnu as pivot, the Brit
ish position is crescent-shaped, about
2,800 yards long from north to south,
and 1,100 yards wide in a line drawn
across Ari Burnu. The site is rather
bare. There is a small spring on It, and
most of the water needed hv the Pritish 1
troops has to be brought from the ad- .
Jaccnt islands.
The Turkish trenches are in one case
only two yards from the British trench.
At another point the trenches of the op
posing forces are only ten yards apart, i
Constant sapping by the Turks is the '
cause of this interesting condition. Al
ready the British trenches have been '
blown up by the Turks in three places.
Hand grenades and large bombs thrown
by a catapult are used by the British.
One of the former had failed to explode
and was the subject of study of some
Turkish oflicers. The bomb consisted
of a cast steel outer shell two and on<?-|
half inches In diameter and about six i
Inches long. The shell contained an
inner tube tilled with an explosive.
About noon Essad Pasha, commander J
of the third army, and during the lato
Balkan war defender of Janina. was
met by the correspondent. General Es- j
sad is a man of medium height, slightly ;
gray about the temples, of dignified,
military appearance and courteous
demeanor.
"The situation here at Ari Burnu
and Sed-el-Bahr la very favorable." ho
said. "The British and French have
been obliged to assume the defensive,1
which, I should say, is not what they
landed for. We hope to get them out
and before long. The allios have come
to respect the bayonets of our soldiers." J
Essad Pasha then recounted what
some of the British prisoners thought
of the mighty bayonet charges by the
Turks. Most of them did not like the
experience. j
"I admit there is something uncanny
in men rushing a trench silently with
bayonets fixed. Noise has a stimulat
ing effect at times, while its absence
acts In an opposite direction," he said.
Th? afternoon was made interesting j
by a visit from a British aeroplane
which dropped three large bombs. .
Throughout the day the sniping
from both trenches continued. A
Turkish battery on the British leit
flank added to. the picture by taking;
!a pot shot at some part of the oppon-j
I ents' trenches. The British pieces on
land did not reply for so ne time, bur
I finally were also heard from. Xo 'Brit
ish or French men-of-war cOulfl be
seen near Kaba Tepe their former 'jxa-j
tion. A single hospital ship, painted
gray, lay off shore. The allied war I
vessels had been driven to cover by
the German submarines, opined the
Turkish officer, and then pointed in the
direction of Imbros Island. With *ho
aid of glasses, a good view of th<?
northeaHt bay of the Island was to be
had. The small sheet of water was
literally covered with shipping of all
sorts, men-of-war. transports, supply
ships, every conceivablft sort of wator
craft, in fact, had been jammed into,
the small bay. outside >f which tor
pedo-boats and destroyers were patrol
ling for submarines.
The Gallipoli campaign p'an of thej
allies, according to officers of the Otto- !
j man army, wns to take tno forts ;*tidrd
Ing the entrance and lower reaches of
' the Dardanelles. For thin purposo,
landings were made at Kum Kale,
Sed-el-Bahr, Ari Burnu and Kaba
Tepe. Essad Pasha is of th* opinion
that of these only Kaba Tepe was a
jelnt, insisting at the same time ?h?j
assertion of the alliet that the Kum |
Kale landing had also been a sham,
maneuver Is due to the fact that the]
allied troopr could hot keep the ground
they had taken there. The landing at
Ari Burnu was Intended as a flank at- ]
tack upon the Ottoman forces oppo-.$ng<
the allied troops set ashore at Std-el-'
lln.hr. By occupying the narrow p-irt
of the peninsula between Ari Burnu ,
and MaUlos, the Australians and New]
Zealandere, .now lioinnic.il in at Arl
lUirnu. were also to cut off the land {
lino of communications of the Turkish'
troops at Sed-el-Bahr. ..Meanwhile,!
the 11 oops landed at Sed-el-Bahr were
to advance north, and in so dont; take'
ihe Turkish forts on the Furopean;
shore of lhey Dardanelles front the lat.d
Fide. With these forts taken, th?j
water route to Constantinople would
have been open as far as N'it^ara.
Prompt action by the Turkish ai my
ruined the plan, bringing about what
General d'Amadc, commander of tJic
French contingent, is sal?t to have
feared. It is understood 1 it well-in
formed circles in Constantinople that
General d'Amadc favored a landing
near linos, on the north shore of the,
Gulf of Saros, but that Sir lan Hamil
ton was against this.
