QUITTINfJ OF VON TIItPITZ (JIVES
LONDON EAKLY PEACE HOPE
First Defeat of "Prussian Militarism,"
Exports Say
LONDON, March 1G. Tho resignation
of Grand Admiral von Tlrpltz has bright
ened tho prospects for nn early peace, sev
eral well-informed persons, In close touch
with British ofllclals, declared today.
Tho London viewpoint Is that von Tlr
pltz's resignation Is tho first sovero de
feat administered to tho no-called "Prus
sian militarism." Tho triumph of tho
Bethmann-IIollweg forces of conciliation
over tho von Tirpltzltcs Is expected to bo
followed)' tho further victories ovor that
clement In tho nrmy which has flaunted
tho "Deutsehland Uber Alles" banner since
the outbreak of tho war.
Premier Asriulth, the French nnd Hus
sion Ministers, It was pointed out, havo
emphasized In all their speeches that tho
crushing of "Prussian militarism" Is tho
most Important aim of tho Allies, and
must necessarily precedo any pcaco dis
cussion. Territorial claims. It Is real
ized, can bo adjusted by any board of
mediators without Insurmountable dlfll-
cultles, but tho elimination of "Prussian.
militarism" must bo accomplished by tho
German people themselves.
It Is accepted hero that von Tlrpltz's
downfall will bo followed by a large num
ber of resignations In tho Marino Depart
ment. It Is believed certain, too, that It
will creato great dissatisfaction among
active naval olllcers, despite the Berlin
official statement that no change in pol
icies will result.
Olllclals hero divided their discussion
between speculation as to whethsr Zeppe
lin raids on English towns will be aban
doned as the result of tho von Tlrpltz
resignation, and guesses as to the probable
effect on German-American relations.

LONDON. March 16. The new battle
on the Isonzo, which Is looked for as a
result of the last few days' continuous,
violent artillery action on both sides. Is
still under preparation, although the last
24 hours saw some strong attacks by the
Italians.
The Austrian War Office issued the
following report:
Italian attacks on the Isonzo front
continue. Wa drove out the enemy,
who succeeded In entering our lines
at Podgora. An enemy night attack
after hours of artillery preparation
failed southwest of San Martlno,
where 1000 enemy corpses wero left
behind in fighting of the past few
days.
Italian airmen threw bombs on
Trlebte, but did 'no damage.
The following official communication
from Italian general headquarters was
issued today:
In the Alpine zone our artillery ac
tivity extends from Tonala to the up
per Fella, and grows livelier, aided by
the infantry, whose offensive move
ments bring out targets" useful to our
batteries. "
On the Isonzo front there were
lively artillery duels and infantry at
tacks yesterday. We progressed
somewhat In the Rdmbon zone and on
the eight dominating Luclnico.
Southeast of San Martlno, on the
Car so, after an intense preparatory
, tire, the enemy attacked at dawn
positions won by us the previous day,
but was everywhere repulsed with
serious loss! Nevertheless, the con
centrated artillery lire of the enemy
during the whole day impelled us to
evacuate at night a little redoubt In
order to avoid useless losses. The
position, however, la held safe through
the curtain of Are of our guns.
During bold infantry raids we
took 30 prisoners, pf whom three
were officers, and also rifles, muni
tions and other material.

lisa been given me today by a certain
Rtnlwart soldier, Sergeant (lulhrle, who
formed one, of n reconnoitring party In
the dreary sand-wastes of Kgypt. Tho
deadly flro of tho Senussi snipers nnd the
Arabs' power of mnrkmntiRhlp are known
all over tho Unst. And It wnR this very
fire which tho llltlo handful of Urltlsh
, soldiers had to face.

Kgyptlan desert's the place to glvo you

world of yellow sand, ever drifting, ever
shifting. Its horizons stretching to tho
farthest skirts of heaven! Monotonous,
did you wiy? N'n. not that! You're 'see

too beautiful to Inst nnd you'ro 'thinking'
things that quite surprlso you, beautiful
thoughts that go on and on Into eternity.

MOCKIIKY OK Tltt: MIHAOi:.
"It gets a strange grip of you tho des
crt does! Twlco when I was on outpost
duty I saw nn exquisite Inko of deepest
blue lying In a great hollow, with green
trees growing to tho very edge, nnd cool
shadows playing on Its surface. Tho nun
was mazing down on us, and wo wero
parched with thirst. Onward nnd onward
wo marched to that cool heaven nf prom
ise, only to sco It slip farther and farther
from us. After hours of walking, lake,
trees and land of promise disappeared
nnd wo were left, worn out and too ut
terly disappointed for speech. That's tho
desert for you I
"Tho fighting wisdom of tho Arabs Is
wonderful positively 'uncanny.' They
kept us nlways on tho qui vivo. Out of
tho Xowhero they suddenly would spring
Into being, magnificent men on mairnlll-
cent chargers, their silhouettes rising
sharply from tho blazing sands und stand
ing out ngalnst a cruel, burning sky. As
suddenly, they would' disappear behind
somo great sand-dune, or gallop off Into
tho wastes of tho desert. Hut always
after these sudden nppcaranccs nnd dis
appearances wo knew thcro was trouble
In Btoro for us.
"Llko moths on a cloth of gold our llttlo
company would creep along, watching
and waiting for thoso merciless horse
men." SUDDK.V AND TEItlUnLK.
Bending down to move a hnndnged foot,
tho sergeant paused. "It doesn't seem to
get much better," ho said. "Yea, that's
wliut tho Arabs did to mo In tho desert a
Senussi sniper, It was! Orcat marksmen,
theso snipers. It happened llko this: One
blazing morning I was watching the
eternal sandpllcs, thinking of homo and
tho Joys of cold, wet London, when out
of tho Xowhero Into full view, with wild
shrieks and Imprecations, thoro suddenly
wheeled a party of Senussi horsemen !
'Crnck! Crack!' went their rifles. 'Dang!
Bang !' In a volley of flnmo nnd shouts.
"With n wild dash, our reconnoitring
party raced to envelop tho whirling
enemy. Tho world narrowed down to ono
choking crowd of dust and blood nnd
steel 1 Never was such a hand-to-hand
fight, such bayoneting, such trampling
under foot !
"Through clouds of dust I could see
nothing clearly. Slashing right and left
with tho bayonet was tho only thing to
do In such a mlx-up. Suddenly the sounds
ceased, the battleground cleared and tho
Arab tribesmen were revealed far off,
still almost unbroken in their ranks nnd
ready at tho signal of their leaders to
renew attack.
"Tho signal was given, nnd In 'one
menacing rush tho Arabs -wero upon us
again ! Ucndlng low In their saddles, they
whirled their sabres like flails In a corn
field! A moving picture of that terrible
scene would mnko a fortuno for the
owner.
"With flashing eyes and furious shouts,
the Arabs again retreated to a distance,
nnd It was then I llrst discovered tho
dreadful disaster that had befallen tho
particular platoon of which I was In
charge A mere handful of men, wo were
cut oft by a narrow strip of sand from
the main body of our party! The Arabs
saw our plight, too, and sent a volley of
tiro over that strip of sand, just to show
what would happen to us should we
venturo forth on a rush to cross It.
DASH FOn LIFC OH DEATH.
"Tho only way to escape annihilation
or capture was to make a dash across
the Intervening space. Could l: be done?
The problem was one of life or death.
"At last we decided to risk it, not In a
body, but Individually. One by one tho
men sprang out on the zone of death, with
the Arab bnlpers sweeping the air with
bullets. At last, only one other man and
I were left. We tossed a coin to see which
should venture llrst. It fell to the other
man to go, and I was left.
"My. friend rose up from the big desert
stone behind which we were both shelter
ing, jind made a dash for tho open. Alas,
poor chap, he hadn't gone 10 yards when
suddenly he pitched up both arms and fell
backward in a writhing heup a bullet
had gone through his heart.
"Removing the offending headgear
which had served as such a fine target, I
very cautiously raised my head again.
Less than 10 yards away wero two dark
forms, almost hidden behind another stone.
I took steady aim with my rifle and fired.
The shot went home, for one of the figures
r'olled out on to the sand and then lay
still.
" 'Crack!' went a rifle, and 'Sting!' went
a bullet in my foot. Tho other man had
got me at last. The duel was ended."

It Is tho general belief thnt vlrtunl cn

putting ltusslan Interests on a solid
foundation.
When the Itusslnns reached Kcrman
shah tho Turks wero tho first to recog
nize tho approaching danger to their hold
on Mesopotamia, and they consequently
sent forward reinforcements from Hng
dad nnd Mosul, by way of Hulelmanlch
und Solum (75 miles north of Kcrmau
shah) to take tht Russians In tho Hank.
Just at thN time, however, tho Urltlsh
pressure from tho south ngaln became
threatening, and the Russians, advanc
ing from tho Lake Van region nnd cap
Hiring nulls, still farther north, com
pelled these forces to withdraw hurriedly
without accomplishing anything of Im
portance. Tho Russians, consequently,
aro opposed only by such frontal resist
nnco as they already have driven before
them all the way from llamadan.
From Kcrmnhshah westward tho road,
sometimes little more than a mountain
path, winds through tho high ridges of
Lurlstnn, nnd In this region the Russians
ulready havo penetrated for 00 miles.
Thoy will havo 00 miles to go to Khanlkiu,
on tho Turkish border, tho last difficult
