NEW YORK, April 26.-'Pile fourth
day of the terrifllc struggle on tile
l`iritish front, ill France has opened
wltll both siilcs still striving vainly

OMINOUS REPORTS FROM BEHIND
THE LINES.
it would seem as if the revolution-
ary mutte-rings which were onlinously
swelling lhljcugh Europe prior to the
inception of the great battle were
drowned ill the thunders of the battle-
field but indications are not lacking
that--momentous events are about to
occurbehind the fighting lines.
Tho summary atljournment of the
Relchsi.-fig. when its sittings had
barely opened, is given added signi-
ficance by hints in the German press
that the strike agitation in Germany
may burst. forthwith wit.ll,l'euewed
violence on May day, the great inter-
national Soclalist holiday. A nation-
wide.. in-bor. d.emonsl.l°.altion...in.. Sweden
is also planned for that day and may
have its counter-part in Spain.

pulling stories of_de-vastatiou wrought
by disease and starvation In the Ot-
toman Empire. They also repeat the
oft-heard story that the Turkish peo-
ple are sick at heart over the war
and its entailed miseries but are kept
in subjection by the iron hand of
Euver Bey and his German collea-
gues. Apart from France there are
few tlevelopments of importance in
the war theatres.
