Kitchener Sejm He Hm Been Forced to Accept Stories of Barbarity— Premier Asquith Declares Govern ment Will Exact Reparation From Guilty Parties at War's End. War Secretary Kitchener told the British House of l»rds Tuesday that British prisoners had been insulted, maltreated and even ahot down by •i their German captors. In a state ment to the House on this subject he said in part: v. .‘.T have been forced with reluc tance to accept as undisputably true the maltreatment by the German army of British prisoners. The Hague convention has been flagrantly dtsregaided by German officers. Our prisoners have been stripped and mal treated In various ways, and In some cases the evidence goes to prove that they have been shot In coM blood. Our officers, even when w unded, have been want nly insulted and fre quently struck." Earl Kitchener cald that as a sol dier he hitherto had always held Ger man officers in respect, but, "con stant testimony that has come in, not only from our own escaped prisoners, but from French, Russian, Belgian and American sources, has brought it home to all who have sifted the evi dence that the inhumanity displayed by the German authorities toward British prisoners especially is beyond doubt." "I think It only fair and right to say,” added the secretary, "that the German hospitals should be excepted in any charges of deliberate Inhu manity. "Treatment of prisoners in the de tention camps in Germany vaiies con siderably, according to locality. Our men In most cases suffered from want of food and havo received dlfferentlr.l treatment as compared with their French and Russian comrades and r of •vtotonce have been com plained of. Latterly, however, there does appear to be a slight Improve ment ir. somts respects, due, perhaps to visits of Inspection made from time to time through the American ambassador. "Raoaatly, some of our officers have been subjected to solitary con •aement In retaliation for the sup posed treatment of Germans In this country The Hague convention does not admit of confinement of prisoners of war. except as on tndlapenslblc measure of safety, and I hope before V>«fi to obtain some evidence of the manner la which theee officers are sow being treated by Germany "Germany has for many years pos ed before the civilised world as s great military nation. She has abun dantly proved her military skill and courage Bat surely It was also for hor to set up a standard of military honor and conduct which would gain the reepeet. If not the friendship, of nations. Instead, the has stooped to note which surely will stain Indelibly her military history and which would vie with the barbarqua savagery of the Dervishes of Sudan “I do not think there can be a sol dier of any nationality, even amongst the Germans themselves, who is not heartily ashamed of the slur which has been thus brought upon the pro fession of arms The usages of war have not only been outraged by the infliction of cruelties on British pris oners, but by a contrivance which must have arrested your lordships attention, the Germans have in the last week Intioduced a method of placing their opponents hors de com bat by the use of asphyxiating and dc- terious gases; and they employ these pdftonoua methods to prevail when their attack, according to rules of war, might otherwise have failed." In the House of Commons Nell Primrose said that American officials had visited 15 prison camps In Ger many and that reports had shown improvement in treatment accorded British prisoners. Premier Asquith said: "It is a horrible story from every point of view—one of blackest spots on even German methods of war. My object in rising is to say, with all emphasis and all deliberation, that we shall not forget, and we ought not to forget, this horrible record of calculated cruelty and crime. "We shall at the end of this war hold it to be our duty to exact such reparation against those who are proved to be the guilty agents In this (natter as it may be possible for us to inflict. I do not think we would toe doing our duty either to those torave, unfortunate men or to the honor of our country or to the plain dictates of humanity if we should be content with anything less than that." ' Lord Landstowne, opposition lead er tn the House qf Lords, declared the charges against Germany "of cal lous, inhuman treatment of prisoners had been proved to the hilt,” but that England had reason to be grateful to the American government for the way it had seconded the efforts of its secretary of state to secure redress. Lord Landstowne said he deplored the fact that the admiralty had been forced to take recourse In reprisals against ^aptive German submarine ci'fews. The real culprits, he declar ed, were the German government, "which had given them their ruthless commissions.” , Lord Cromer, former British agent and consul general in Egypt, declar ed there was a strong feeling in the ‘briny agsttnst the policy of the ad miralty regarding the treatment of German submarine prisoners. Lord Lucaa, president of the board of agriculture, said- he was glad to announce that the German govern- it had given James W. Gerard. American ambassador to Ger- to visit the prison** Constantinople reports In an offi cial statement Issued Friday that the allied forces which landed on the Asi atic side of the Dardanelles have been entirely cleared away, that a large part of the troops which Invadedithe Gallipoli peninsula has been driven off, and that several warships and transports of the allies have been damaged. The statement follows: "No ene my forces remain on the Asiatic side of the Dardartelles. “Hostile forces at Gaba Tepe (west coast of the Gallipoli peninsula, near the tip) are obstinately maintaining their positions, under the protection of sljlps. “From the other parts of Gallipoli the enemy has been driven off. ‘fWe have damaged several war- shiys and transports." The following official statement was issued from the headquarters of the German general staff: "Reports from the Dardanelles pay tribute in the bravery and enthus iasm of the Turkish troops. In the first battle at Kum Kale the Turks did not Are a shot but repulsed the enemy with the bayonet. "Forty warships bombarded Seddul Bahr. While this battle was in pro gress the Turks captured a large guantity of rifles and ammunition. At Gallipoli the Turks fought unin terruptedly for two days against the constant attack of the enemy without showing fatigue.” , London reports: Serious damage to the Turkish fortification resulted from the bombardment of the allied fleet which was carried out simul taneously with the landing of troops In the Dardanelles Monday, according to The Chronicle's correspondent, who thus describes the operations: “The bombardment grew terrific about midday. British and French ships were clearly visible from the entrance to the straits. The largest warships lay at the entrance near the European side with others in Eren- keut bay, firing heavily on Kaltd Bahr and the mownCMwa beyond. In the distance several small ships di rected the fire of the large units on the Chanak and Kalld Bahr forts. "Away to the left stretched the line of transports which effected landings late In the afternoon on the coasts opposite and on the peninsula. "The effect of the naval bombard' men! evidently was severe. Toil col umns of smoke and fire were seen on the heights above Seddul Bahr, Ke- phe* Point and Chanak. By three o'clock the Seddul Bard fort seemed utterly knocked to pieces and the bat tleships moved further In. The Turks made little attempt to reply to the warships. "Sohtrly after six o'clock the Turks provided a diversion at Cape Hellee, where the allies had landed a bat tery early In the morning. A Turk ish battery came Into sight, moving Into position to attack this landing force, but before the Turks could open fire one of the warships turned Its attention to them and found the range at the first shot, burying the battery In a cloud of dust. The sec ond sh 11 burst In the midst of the gunners Nevertheless the Turks stood by their guns and managed to fire three Ineffective shots before seven successive bombs dropped by airships wiped them out. "A fierce artillery duel took place at seven o'clock between forces which had landed and Turks posted on the heights beyond Eskl Hlsarllk. • A great British battleship came In close to shore to assist the batteries of the landing force and silenced those of the Turks “The net result of the operations is that the allies are in complete pos session of the tip dT'The Gallipoli peninsula and the flat shores of Suvia bay, ten miles from the nar rows on the opposite side of the pen insula. Good progress also had been made towards the reduction of the forts In the narrows."

Even the Church of England, which made Its first official pro nouncement at the York convocation, resolved to view with uneasiness any action suggesting total prohibition But the strongest opposition comes from Ireland. Some idea of the strength of this opposition to the gov ernment can be seen Official quarters still remain reti cent concerning the military opera tions on th* Dardanelles, but London papers contained a number of special dispatches from thxr regiomb which the claims are made that the alllee are steadily advancing under cover of the fire of the fleet, but not without meeting an opposition which Is caus ing th m heavy losses. British troops are reported In occupation of the nar row tongue of the peninsula north of Gallipoli. Athens dispatches predict ed that this campaign will last a long time, as tha Turks occupy exception ally well prepared positions. The fight in the west still centers around Steenstraate. This position, occupied by the Germans, forms an Irritating wadga In the alli*d line. There has been some revival of ac tivity In Russian Poland, where tm provement in weather conditions has led the Germans to make a number of isolated attacks.

Twenty persons were killed The presence of the German high seas fleet In the North 8ea has been reported several times recently and an official statement Issued in Berlin a few days ago spoke of several ex peditions of this kind, made without encountering the British fleet. The captain of a Swedish steamer report ed that on crossing the North Sea a few days ago he encountered a large number of German warships. Paris reports! German warships have been seen off the Belgian coast, according to an official statement given out in Paris Friday. Nineteen large shells have fallen on Dunkirk. The official notice reads: • “German warships have been re ported at large off the coast of Bel gium. “Dunkirk received nineteen shells of large calibre. Twenty persons were killed and forty-five wounded. Some houses were destroyed.” It will be recalled that there have been several dispatches in the last week Indicating that German war ships were at large in the North Sea. evidently having evaded the British men-of-war which for many months have been doing patrol duty in front of the German naval base on the east ern side of the North Sea. The latest report along that line was brought In by Captain Scott, of a Swedish steamer, who declared he had seen In the North Sea a German fleet of sixty-eight vessels of all class es. The officer did not say where or when the ships had been-sighted, but the Inference was that it was within a week. Dunkirk Is on the northern coast of France within a few miles of the Belgian frontier. It is at the north ern entrance of the English channel, east of Dover and west of Ostend. There have been four engagements of importance in the North Sea since the beginning of the war. The first was the battle of Helgoland, late In August, in whiqji a British fleet sent four German warship* to the bottom. In October four German, destroyers were sifnk In an engagement off the Dutch coast On December 16 a German cruteer squadron. nUded thff east coast of England, bombarding Scarborough and the'Tffifllepools.

The German auxiliary cruiser Kronprins Wilhelm, ifbtch has been In the. port of Newport News, Va., two weeks undergoing repairs to make her seaworthy, early Monday morning was towed from her anchor age In James river to the Chesapeake and Ohio coal pier, where she will take on between 3.500 and 4.000 tons of bunker £oal, It was stated at the pier. The Wilhelm also will take on about a 10 days' supply of water and provisions, this being the estimated time she would require to make the nearest German port. The formal re quest for final supplies of provisions and fuel was made several days ago, Collector of Customs Hamilson stat ed Monday, and after due considera tion was allowed. Installation of boiler tubes and other insider repairs were completed, it was said, and Capt. Tierlchens will be in a position to attempt a dash past the enemy warships off the Vir ginia capes or tive notice that he de sires to intern within the next few days, It is stated. The officers and crew of the Wilhelm Insist that they will again put to sea to resume their commerce destroying voyage. Commander Thierfelder and Col lector Hamilton were In conference and it was reported that the collector officially informed the captain of the rapidly approaching date for deci sion as to internment or departure from American waters. It is understood that on leaving the coal pier, Capt. Thierfelder will make formal request of the port au thorities for a river patrol to guard his ship against possible hostile at tack. If a guard Is requested, launches from the Norfolk navy yard probably will be detailed to the duty, as in the case of the Eitol.

BUSY SroiM nONJEl OF EVIOPEAN KACE KEEPS IN CLOSE TOUCfl REFUSE to retire AIKBN DI8PRN8AKY OFFICIALS BUCKING GOV. MANNING. Washington Believes His Friends Abroad Are Sending Him Inside In formation—Objections to Us Now Will Pass Away When Prospect of Peace Comes Up is Confident Belief A dispatch from Washington to The New York Times, says President Wilson’s exclusiveness these days Is explained by the close duty he ts making of all phases of the interna tional situation with a view to b'j thoroughly prepared to take an active part In an effort to bring peace to Europe should the opportunity be pre sented for the exercise of the good offices of the United States govern ment. For Eeverr.l weeks the presi dent has seen fey? visitors, and it was made known the other <^ay that he would not be able even to follow his custom of receiving the pupils of out- of-town schools who throng Washing ton in the early spring. He spends many hours each day in his study, it is said, with his desk piled with documents relating to the matters to which he Is devoting at tention, and he is credited with being engaged in a consistent attempt to fix In his mind the main points of the historical, geographical and legal problems that must be understood by any one who is to fake a prominent part In negotiations having to do with the adjustment of the differences that have sot most of the world on fire. This course of the president and other related things indicate that by no means has he been impressed with the view that the government of the United Statec has been disqualified as the peacemaker. Through private correspondent he Is in touch with opinion in the chancelleries of Europe concerning the prospects of peace and the chances that this government win be called on to. lend a hand in the restoration of normal conditions. It is supposed here that Col. E. M. House of Now York and Texas, tho president's close friend, who went to Europe ostensibly to co-ordinate the work of the various American relief organixatlons. Is keeping the presi dent fully informed as to sentiment among those who will have the ulti mate say In the Inception and conclu sion of peace measures. Other friends and official advisers are understood to be keeping Mr. Wilson Informed as to thB situation, and he Is giving marked attention to their loUere. Officials of the administration end, of c«prae, the preetdeot la Included, ere fully aware of the Irritation felt In some of the warring countries against the government, but tn spite of this the opinion prevails that this feeling may not disqualify the United States from serving as the leader In a movement to restore amicable rela tions. A prevailing view said to be held by some of the men high in the government la that when the time for making peace arrive* the animosity toward America will have moderated end It will be realised that, as the na tion least Involved In the war. direct ly or Indirectly, the United States must have a large share In the ad justment of the problems that will confront all those Immediately con cerned. It Is realized that in some of the belligerent countries there is s strong belief that the United States Is not observing the neutral attitude that was proclaimed by President Wilson at the outbreak of hostilities. This belief appears to be most firmly fixed In Germany, whose ambassador in Washington, Count von Bernstorff, has voiced the popular opinion of his government and people In virtually accusing the United States govern ment & breach of faith toward Ger many in carrying out Us obligations to the countries at war. But officials are Inclined to contend that when the passions now at fever heat have cool ed under the prospect of peace, even the German government will realize that the course of the United States has been correct, and that It has been and desires to continue a friend of all the powers that are engaged In the present world struggle. In its desire to see peace in Europe, however, this government’s interest is not confined to keeping Itself in a position which would lead to Its pos sible selection as the chief peacemak er. It regards as of equal impor tance that it shall remain the firm friend of all the parties now at enmi ty, so that it will be able to take a foremost part in a movement for a post-bellum world congress that will revise and modify the principles of International law and perhaps pro vide means for the maintenance of permanent peaej. That is the greater mission of the United States, it is held, and the pres ident’s current study of war questions and their ramifications is said to be intended as a preparation for the leading role that he may be called upon to play in what is likely to be the greatest international gathering thaL the world has ever known. Town of Alke* Is Conaidembly Arous ed Over Action—Old Scrap Opened Anew. Refusing to be chocked out and to turn over the affairs of the Aiken dispensary to the newly elected and commissioned dispenser, officials of the institution in that county who have been In control for seveial years past late Friday afternoon ^openly de fied Gov. Manning, disregarding the action of the governor In Issuing the commissions of the dispenser and of ficials elected at a meeting of the dis pensary board held Tuesday of last week. ; » The refusal of the old officials to recognize the orders of the chief exe cutive of the State and their express ed intention of holding on to their jobs, although their successors have been duly elected and commissioned, has created a serious situation and Is causing much excitement. Public sentiment is aroused and feeling is running high, as the gen eral public, having tired of tho agi tation that has been going on for months over control of the dispen sary, a fight that started during the campaign of last summer when the dispensary forces were active In sup port of a defeated candidate for ■ United States senator, had welcomed the settlement of tho matter of the control of the dispensary, as It was thought, when Tuesday two new members of the dispensary board and a third, holding over through the failure of the county delegation to nominate a member to fill the place of Mr. Rawls of Wagener, who had been named at former meeting of the delegation and resigned,-organlx- ed and, according to law, elected of ficials for the several dispensaries throughout the county, cutting sal aries and making plans for innova tions aimed at lifting the dlspensary- out of county politics. There is much resentment on the part, of the public because, defying the governor, ignoring-his orders and refusing to recognize commissions is sued by the chief executive to new of ficials. certain old officials have In their attempt to retain control of the dispensary, opened the agitation anew. What will be the action of the gov ernor when he is Informed of th* de velopment In Aiken is not known. When the new chairman of the dis pensary board. P. P.

Mr. Rawls' resignation was banded In more than three weeks ago and since that time the terms of office of the old dispen sary board have expired snl the new board is In charge. Following the refusal of the old officials of the Aiken dispensary to recognize the commissions of their duly appointed succesosrs signed by Gov. Manning, and the open defiance of the governor late Friday after noon the three dispensaries in Aiken ' were cllsed Saturday morning by the chief of police, Jesse- George, act ing on orders from Mayor W. J. Moseley, a few minutes after they opened. Mayor Moseley stated that he wanted to keep the dispensaries in his jurisdiction closed tight until the governor's orders can be obeyed. Other dispensaries throughout the county have remained open, but the action of Gov. Manning Is being awaited with unusual Interest, for it is believed that he will act decialvely in the matter during the next week. Patmont Again. Mrs. Louis R.
