The Germans on March 2, 1916, at 3.15 a. m. had attacked the village simultaneously from the north by a ravine and on the flank, where they debouched from the fort, and certain covered positions which the French had not had time to reconnoiter. "The Germans we saw first were those who came from the fort.
However, I suppose that you in the States can help us out, and England has jolly well fixed it so that no one can easily help Germany out. August 4, 1916 Well, here we are in the third year of the war, as Kitchener foresaw, and still with a long way to go to the frontier. Thanks, by the way, for the article about Kitchener.
During the three days that followed the French were entirely occupied with organizing and consolidating the positions they had conquered. At 7 a. m. on July 5, 1916, they began a fresh offensive. In a few hours' fighting the village of Hem and all the surrounding trenches had been captured. About noon the few houses in the village to which the Germans had clung tenaciously were evacuated.
These stars had able assistance in the persons of McEwan, one of the greatest centers the game has seen and who was chosen to lead the team in 1916, Weyand, Neyland and O'Hare, among the forwards, and the brilliant and sturdy Oliphant in the backfield, the man whose slashing play against the Navy in 1915 will never be forgotten. Oliphant was of a most unusual type.
Such treatment from those who were supposed to be protectors of his religion stung the Cherif of Mecca to open revolt. About the middle of 1916, he turned the Turks out of Mecca, killing or capturing the entire garrison, and proclaimed the independence of the Hedjaz; in which courageous action he had the support of the British Government.
On May 7, 1916, it was demonstrated that the contention of the king, that the agitation in favor of Venizelos and the demonstrations in his favor were largely artificial, was not true, in one electoral district of Greece at least.
In the Carnic Alps hardly anything of importance occurred throughout the late spring and the entire summer of 1916, excepting fairly continuous artillery bombardments, varying in strength and extent. Considerable activity, however, was the rule rather than the exception in the sector between the Carnic Alps and the Dolomites. There, one point especially, saw considerable fighting.
But the policy of the British government is now what it was when the war first began under circumstances with which your readers are entirely familiar. To quote Sir Edward Grey's words: "Is there anyone who thinks it possible that we could have sat still and looked on without eternal disgrace?" Yours faithfully, CECIL SPRING RICE. WASHINGTON, le July 10, 1916.
Rosehill, near Georgetown, October 4, 1916. J. B. Prevost. Pray point you out the way, sir, in which our trust is to be executed. In his will, of which a copy shall be sent you if desired, my brother has given all demands up to you that he had against you. Very respectfully,
The Turks continued to bombard the Kut almost hourly, but the only serious damage effected by their fire was when on December 30, 1915, shells burst through the roof of the British hospital and wounded a few men. General Aylmer's leading troops under General Younghusband of the British force sent to relieve the besieged army at the Kut left Ali Gherbi on January 4, 1916.
