manding proper reparation from tho Brit
ish Government. Tho verdict of the

will demand that suitable apology bo
made to the United States nnd that
borsch's and Smith's families rccclvo ade
quate indemnity for tho Incident
Tho position taken by tho Btnto De
partment ofllclats Is based entirely on
the reports received at tho department
from Consul Messcromltli nnd Vlco Con
sul Curtis, who each mado personal In

covered that tho Canadian soldiers, In

Tentative Movements.
BHRWN, Jan. 7.
, lMllltary headquarters deny that thero
has been any severe fighting either In
tho Carpathians or In Hungary, The
fighting in the Carpathians is described
is little more than skirmishing, the re
ports from there Indicating that tho
weather has interfered with aggressive
Operations by either side.
There has; been only minor fighting1 dur
ing the last few days along the Vistula,
apd other 'Polish rlvors. The. Russians
have attempted advances, but they have
been more In the nature of a "feeling
out" movement than of an active aggres
sive attempt to take the German posi

the fighting is now only a long.range

GARIBALDI RED SHIRT
ON GRANDSON'S BIER
CALLS ROME TO WAR
Funeral of Liberator's Kin,
Slain in , Allies' Cause,
Scene of Anti-German
Demonstration.
By ALICE KOHE
ROME, Jan. 7.-Tho spirit of Garibaldi
Is stalking through tho strcotB of Rome.
The red shirt of tho doad patriot, spread
upon .tho' coffin of his grandson, who died
In France fighting for tho Allies, brought
tho war spirit to tho front ns never be-fore-
since tho opening of tho war.
All tho way from tho railway station
to Vcrano Cemetery tho funeral proces
sion moved through triple ranks of Ital
ians who alternately wept and cheered
for tho success of tho Allies. No one
In official II fo mado any effort to min
imize tho demonstration.
It Was plain from tho beginning that
this was not tho mere funeral of a hero,
even though Bruno Garibaldi was blood
kin to Italy's greatest hero. Rather the
fact was emphasized that tho dead man

sands who had brought home to them the
fact that Italian soldiers are now fighting
In alien uniforms for a nation with whom
Italy deeply sympathizes.
While the fact that Bruno Garibaldi
died In action with his regiment of Ital
ian volunteers for Franco was sufficient
to rouse the fighting spirit, the fact that
Just bofore tho body arrived word cams
that Constantino Garibaldi, a brother,
also had been killed, Increased the patriot
ism of the crowd. A
As the procession advanced, headed by
veterans of Garibaldi's original legions,
wearing their plcturesuqo red-shlrtod uni
form11 and marching to the Btralhs of the
"Marseillaise," It was greeted by wild
cheering and cries of "Vive la France,"
which the thousands of gendarmes at
first vainly tried to suppress.
An enormous crowd had gathered In
the square In front of the Belgian lega
tion, and It demonstrated its approval
ao tho bannors carried In the procession
were dipped In salute to tha Belgian flag
flying at half staff over tho building.
In tho procosslon In the position of
honor thero marched on foot the Am
bassadors of France, England and Rus
sln nnd the Belgian, Montenegrin and
Servian Ministers with their official staffs
In full uniform.
Despite the presence of the enormous'
force of troops, an occasional cry of
"Down with Germany" rang out from
the crowd.
In tha funeral cortege wero represented
the Socialistic and Masonla societies,
representatives of Trieste and Trent
Provinces and every element of Italian
We, Including oven members ot the Vati
can It was plain' that the sentiment
animating the crowds In the streets was
In every way an Indorsement of the war
preparations which the Italian Govern
ment la making, and the entrance of Italy
into the war on the side of the Allies is
again predicted.

IN CAUCASIA FACING
ANNIHILATIONBYFOE
Two Entire Corps Wiped
Out; Fleeing Forces Hem
hied in by Russians in
Dangerous Passes.
I'KTHOORAD, Jan. 7.
The flower of tho Turkish army has
been annihilated In Transcaucasia. Tho
rout of tho Ottoman forces at Ardagan
and Sari iCamysh appears moro com
plete with additional details ot the ten
days' battles In tlioso regions. The rem
nants, fleeing from Ardagan, it Is re
ported hero, nro surrounded and will bo
cut to pieces.
The following report has been mado ot
the victories:
"At tho end of November tho bulk of
the third Turkish army wns sent to tho
region cast of Hrzcrum preceded by two
army corps, besides a reserve corps near
Hassan Kalah.
"In conformity with tho plan of Envcr
Pasha, the third army was to proceed ns
follows: The 8th and 10th Corps wero to
advance In the direction of Oltl (Just
within tho Russian bordor, 23 nillc north
east of Erzcrum) and form the offensive
wing, whllo tho 11th Corps had orders to
hold Its powerful organized Dosltlon and
to attract through n strategic demonstra
tion the weight of our troops. In caso
the Russian troops had taken up the of
fensive energetically, tho 11th Corps had
been ordered to fall back on the fortress
of Brzerum, carrying along with It the
Russian forces.
TURKISH STRATEGl-.
"Tho 10th Turkish Corps was then to
advance In two columns, the first Includ
ing one division, proceeding toward Id
(In Turkey, 13 miles southwest of Oltl)
by tho Oltl-Bhal Valley. The second, two
divisions strong, was to advance on
Ardost (10 miles cast of Oltl) through tho
Servy-Chal Valley. The Oth Corps was
to tako tho offcnslvo In the Internal be
tween the 10th nnd 11th Army Corps.
"Our troops In tho region of Oltl clieckcd
with great courago tho Turkish advance,
despite . tho numerical superiority of the
enemy, and through several counter at
tacks Inflicted heavy losses.
"In tho meantime, wo dotected a strong
Turkish column, reinforced by Moslem
rebels, which was advancing from tho
Penjouretsk nnd Jnlagouztohamsk Passes
In tho direction of Ardagun. Tho garrison
which we' had left nt this point, after
holding out for 17 days, fell back a Ilttlo
to tho east.
"Having received reinforcements, wo at
tacked on January 3 tho Turkish forces
concentrated at Ardagan. and Inflicted
upon tho enemy a completo defeat. Wo
captured tho flag, of tho Sth Infantry
Regiment! a part of tho Constantinople
garrison.
"During tho development of a subse
quent action we discovered that tho bulk
of tho Turkish forces, that Is to say, the
9th and 10th army corps, wero taking tho
offensive ngalnst Sari ICamysh. This
movement was undertaken through
mountain roads and steep passes burled
deep in snow. 'The Turkish troops wero
abundantly provided with provisions and
war material. Tho enemy had planned
the operation, relying on tho sympathy
and help ot tho natives who previously
had been influenced by Turkish emis
saries. TWO CORPS DESTROYED.
"Tho task of our troops consisted In
holding on the front Important forces of
tho enemy, and at the same time In of
fering a resistance strong onough to
check the Sth and 10th' corps. In spite
ot the extraordinary difficulties of this,
In spite, also of the. rigors of tho winter
and of the necessity of fighting In passes
of mountains rising 10,000 feet and
covered with snow, our valiant troops,
after a fierce battle cxtondlng over 10
days, fulfilled brilliantly the exceptional
task which had been Imposed upon them.
"They repulsed the frantic attacks of
tho Turks on the flank and on the front,
and at Sari Kamysn enveloped and al
most annihilated 'two ' Turkish corps.
They captured ono of these corpst with
Its commander, threo division generals
with their staffs, a number of ofllcers,
thousands of soldiers and many guns,
rapld-flrers nnd horses.
"The fighting was very fierce on tho
principal front and, of course, necessi
tated a. change In the grouping of our
forces In regions of socondary Import
ance. We brought certain detachments
nearer our frontier.
"We have not yet ascertained they ex
tent of our booty. Tho pursuit of the
enemy still continues."

at Mole St. Nicolas.
Complications Feared.
rORT-AU-PRlNCB, Haiti, Jan. 7.
According to advices received hero, both
by letters nnd from visiting fishermen,
Mole St. Nicholas has beon oonvorted Into
n naval base for Germany nnd Is now
tho port of tho German cruiser Karlsruhe.
To mnko matters moro complicated, thero
has been nu Interruption In tho lino of the
French cablo company betwoon this port
and Capo Haltleli and between . Capo
Hattlcn find Mole St. Nicolas.
Although the Government has Issued a
formal denial of tho rumors, dcflnlto word
has been received from a prominent resi
dent of Capo Haltlcn that steamships from
Now York . and New Orleans have been
landing coal and provisions In large quan
tities at Molo St. Nicolas for somo time,
and that for somo weeks tho Karlsruho
has been taking these aboard when neces
sary. Fishermen report having frequently
seen tho Karlsruhe In the Windward Pas
sage headed toward tho Mole.
Foreign diplomatists stationed here
say that tho United States Government
Is keenly ullve to tho danger of - In
ternational complications In connection
with what Is said to bo tantamount to a
German seizure of Mole St. Nicolas. Tho
United States hos appeared In negotia
tions 'for tho German purchase of Mole
St. Nicolas previously.
Negotiations by Germany for a naval
baso' at Molo St. Nicolas have twlco been
on, and a contrnct wns drawn up con
veying tho Molo to Germany for naval
purposes a little moro than a year ago,
and President Oreste was about to afllx
Ills signature to It when Mr. Osborn,
thon Assistant Secretary of State, came
to Port-au-Prlnco on board a United
States warship nnd prevented tho trans
fer. To appreciate tho Importance ot Molo
St. Nicolas ns a naval buse, ono must
renlizo that tho harbor is largo enough
to accommodate a great navy nnd Is
ono of tho finest natural marine retreats
In tho world.

the Knrlsruho to uso tho harbor without
