Allies Gain Ground North of Arras and More
The Paris and Berlin reports describe Allied advances north of Arras as a major gain, with a large German trench near Souchez captured after two weeks of fighting. General Mackensen’s forces claim 21,060 prisoners taken north of Przemysl in fresh offensives against the Russians. Athens notes Turkish wounded arriving from the Dardanelles amid fuel and bread shortages, and American protests lead to the return of British and French subjects from fortifications. Overtures to Romania show German efforts to keep Romania neutral, including emissaries to Bucharest and rumors of a new German loan. A German aeroplane wrecked near Harwich yields a German sub-lieutenant and mechanic. Next Tuesday, June 1, may host a track meet for local young people from multiple churches at the First Methodist church with a secret-events format and refreshments.
