CONSTANTINOPLE, May 13.
Arrival of 13,000 Turkish wounded this
morning has converted Constantinople
Into n city of terror Crowds mostly
women this afternoon paraded tho
streets, cursing the war and those re
sponsible for Turkey's participation. Sul
tan Mehmed, according to a report reach
ing the American quarter, has threatened
to abdicate.
The Young Turks have given the city
authorities carte blanche to prevent up
risings directed against the present Gov
ernment by the Mussulmen opposed to
Enver Pashn's domination. It Is per
sistently reported that the city authorities
have promised the loyal Mussulman pop
ulation permission to enrich themselves
by looting Christians' properties and In
stitutions In the event of a big Turkish
victory.
The wounded brought In today have
horrified tho city with their stories of
terrible Turkish losses the first confirma
tion the populntlon has had of what It
has for some time suspected. Those to
daythe first big batch brought Into tho
city bring the total of Turkish wounded
up to 40,000. The dead are not known,
and the extent of the casualties from
wounds is only ascertainable because
overcrowding of field hospitals necessi
tated using Constantinople quarters.

BRITISH SHIP, DARING
SUBMARINES, TO SAIL
Freighter Loaded With Auto
Trucks and Contraband Will
Leave Saturday.
Tons of barbed steel wire, a score o
more of enormous automobile trucks and
1100 horses will constitute the cargo of
the American Line freighter Michigan
when the big British vessel clears this
port for Newport News nnd Liverpool
next Saturday. The horses and most of
the autotrucks already have been loaded
nnd the work of stowing the barbed wire
is being rushed.
The Michigan Is tied up at Pier 53,
South Wharves, at the foot or Washing
ton avenue In the Delaware River. Her
commander Is Captain Ernest Finch, an
Englishman. Most of her crew also are
English, and the vessel is under British
registry. Captain Finch was asked today
If he did not fear oemg aitacKea ana
torpedoed by -41 German submarine,
"Who should be afraid of the Ger
mans!" he responded, "They haven't done
much and what they have done Is only a
flash In the pan."
The 1100 horses now In the vessel are
from the West, Thirty or forty expert
cattlemen will sail on the Michigan to
care for the animals, which are consigned
to Liverpool and will be used by English
cavalrymen In the war. Every animal In
the shipment ig said to be a fine, mettle
some piece of horseflesh.
The automobile trucks are complete
save for the bodies. They are consigned
to Gaston-WIUlama & Wlgmore, of Liver
pool, and are on the top deck of the
Michigan. Each chassis is supplied with
four extra tires, all unusually wide and
heavy. The trucks are painted the dull
gray of the German army field uniform.
Hundreds of tons of the steel barbed
wire are stacked up on the pier and
stevedores are loading It Into the holds ot
the ship. A card attached to one of the
big rolls pf wire read, "To B. J. x, N. L.
D Liverpool or Manchester."
Captain Finch denied a report that
there was a large quantity of ammunition
In the hold of his vessel He laughed at
the Idea that he might have trouble with
a. German submarine. None of the crew
seems to be worried about this possibility
Tho French offensive between Aims
and La Bassee has made further gains,
part of which tho Germans admit. The
Ioniser's troops suffered tremendous
losses In attempts to regain several
positions' at Carency and Neuville.
At Carency tho French have vir
tually surrounded tho town nnd are
threatening thp single lino of German
communication. Progress at Neuville
is reported by tho French. Tl.ey now
hold all of the town. At various
points tho French have taken 4000 pris
oners. The British repulsed a German at
tack eaBt of Ypres with heavy loss to
the Kaiser's troops.
The Prussian Guard, flower of the
German army, has been thrown into
the invasion of the Czar's Baltic
provinces, but desperate offensives In
Courland, Kovno and Shnvll govern
ments have been checked, Petrogxad
reports In an announcement that the
backbone of tho enemy's Incursion has
been broken.
Victorious advance toward Czerno
witz, In the Bukowlna campaign, nlso
Is1 announced by the Russian War Of
fice, which adds that the Austrians
have been forced to abandon the left
bank of the Dniester before the Mus
covite progress.
Vienna concedes that strong Slav
forces havo crossed the Dniester and
that Bukowlna towns have been evac
uated. But It chronicles a steady Aus-tro-German
advance, with the Russians
fleeing toward Przemysl. Crossing of
the Wlstok and capture of Llsko and
Sanok, 25 miles from tho stronghold,
are announced.
KAISER'S JIEIMT SAVES
LONDON FROM ZEPPELINS
Would Not Sanction Rnid on Unfor
tified City.
LONDON. May 13.
England has the Gcimnn Knteer to
thnnk thnt London Is not today a scarred
nnd somewhat battered victim ot Zeppe
lin nlcls, ni'conllng to private advices
reaching here from Germany today.
Tho Information was given a neutral In
Berlin by n member of the German Gen
eral Staff, it was said Military leaders
have argued nnd pleaded with the Knlser
for monthx, according to the story, to bo
allowed to send Zeppelins oer London.
The Emperor's reply has alva been
that ho did not wish to sanction such an
attack upon an unfortified city wherein
ninnv of his own lcl'itlvcs resided.
"Twenty-two airships were held In
readiness In February favorable, foggy,
Zeppelin wcathei In England," the
neutinl, whoso name cannot, lie given,
stated. "The plnn for a raid on London
hnd to be nbnndoncd because tho Kaiser
refused his approvnl.
"It took months nnd months for the
German Admiralty to get the Kaiser's
sanction for the present submarine
blockndc of the British Isles. By the
same course of argument his consent for
the use of Zeppelins probably will bo
secured. Germany Is holding her Zcp-
pcllns until such time as she meets seri
ous roverses Then look for tho big air
raid on London."

Mr. Welch has some Inside Information

what happened there while the Sunday
party occupied It. Mr. Welch .poke
about the find when he was asked
whether the Colonel's ultimatum would
bo allowed to go unheeded.
"Ultimatum," said Mr. Welch "Huh!"
It was then that he added Mr. Keegan
might send as many ultimatums as he
pleased.
"Wo know something that matters more
than nil the ultimatums we ever got."
said Mr. Welch, referring to himself and
Joseph M. Steele, chairman of the Sun

what the new information uas. Finally
he explained a little guardedly.
"While we Here In I'aterson yesterday,

"there came a letter from a man In Phil
