15 22 and 24. wd lnIDrJ 1 and March 13. No one who served in the North Set during the first year of war is likely to forget the coming of the first spring. Things had not then begun to rvpeat thtznielvtM in annual and the art cheerful and optinuVstie und of the Navy had not got need to the ides that there might lea the Jordan of a second and third winter end tpriiig to be ed before the Canaan Of peace tjioCild open out in halcyon pratrpuct. The first wuar had indeed been bang sad dark.

and in JUallY respects disappointing. Spring brought with it the prospect of better condition and of urs the vw ing hope that. the great naval day of days would have arrived before the MimmT In the meanwhile ho. weary JAW the of that eternal monochrcrao 0 in harbour there WI little or no variation of the everlasting grry grey era Idea hills and hips. wIth often a grey mist or a Jtfty drizzle to thicken and the heavy atmosphere.

for those who went ashore in those sombre northern harbours. there was little to look for but a tumbling trip in the picket boat. to Us A on the my stones of the jetty. and walk up UK' grry road into the hills until it wen time to turn bock towards the The only tit of eolour that nature afforded us was in the riud smoky sunsets that. sometime burned up the nmuanta of the day in the scroll of tuarkt flame.

r.d yet these conditions were at. no time tab but were always moving towards a pM state. Long Wore then had seemed much change in the dim morning light one 1. to notice the gradual retreat of the sunset iyl into the evening hours. At the worst it found ope at tea in the ward room but.

day by day it fell a little later moving through the jo watches until at. midsummer it had fairly moved out. of them altogether. But almost the tir realization of the coming spring was wnen the sunset bugle caught one in a constitutional on deck between tea and the sudden flourish ringing out across the profound silence when every moving fiRute became rigid in it tracks and at the salute facing aft. while the Colours tittered tJowly down.

And then one would realize that the sky WM till quite light that it. was getting on for 6 o'clock. and that. the days wereindeed lengthening. SIGNS OP CHANGE.

You have to make your observations of nature on booed ship in a very restricted field. There are no tips of branches to watch becoming. peppered with green no early dandelions VI' groundsel in aome hdtered hedgerow to advertise the advent of spring no changing olour of moss or gnu to tell you what is happening. But one morning I noticed crowing the dock before hremlcfart that the dew on the guns tUning with a new lustre not like a more KMit of misty but like no incrustation of jewels and rd that. for ttin first tine at this hour the nun was fairly up und rrbining and that there was a faint.

warmth as will a tight. in its rays. V-- on the guns the words in thernsdvn contain a whole picture pillory and commentary on our potation it too coming of spring. To every one there comes a day. probably long before the actual arrival of spring which t-pruk of it with and break if only fur a moment.

the spell of winter. I remember one such which must. hero born very early iii the year indeed for there was a longinterval of winter between it. lid the actual coming of spring that. was for me the earliest indication that the great horologe of the seasons had not.

run down and d. It. was very rare indeed for anyone to leave the ship and go a horo in the noon. But on this day the' Admiral for whom even the formidable tusk of daily routine WM by no means u1licicnt. to irk off his superfuoa energy and who wna Shin to long and swift-striding constitutionals ttJiorp derided for once to forsake his desk.

The swift trim barge ht forward with us away from the hulls and the unending trifle of the Fleet and landed us on a little promontory where we could turn our bade to the renew and. after a climb of a mile up Urn bare windy road turn into the hitter of a wood.

a breath of wind the sky was blue and the un hot and the world lay still in that Sabbath silence and peace that is so great a reality in Scotland. The stilJnea was intense and almost conscious as if it. were a natural Sabbath and as if the morning were the evening of a celestial day. The air was so elastic and crystalline that it had the same effect on the landscape that a glens bas on a picture to give it an ideal remoteness and pertection. The landscape was enveloped in a mild quiet light.

in which the woods and fences checkered and partitioned it. with new regularity and rough and uneven fields stretched away with like smoothneas to the horizon and the cloud finely it sad picturesque. seemed a fit. drapery to hang over fairyland. The world sceuied docked for some holiday or prouder pageantry with silken streamers flying and the course of life to wind on before you Lkeagreen lane into a country maze at the season when fruit tress are in blossom.

Everywhere on either side one worked crocuses decked the little gardens with purple and gold and in that. walk of as hour along the valley of the little river one encountered all the towers of spring. And suddenly I beard the sound of a bell and care upon an ancient. kirk lying with its little yard in a blaze of sunshine end of golden crocuses. I joined the stream of vil lagers at the door and went in glad of the coo shade of the little building Bet my hot walk.

Although the service followed the austere Scottish ritual it had dignity and fitness for the day and place and to these sinipk rustics their minister preached a powerful. scholarly sad brilliant discourse which had it. been preached in an English cathedral would have been talked about long afterwards. And when it was over I went out gain and by field paths and wooded ways walked until I was tired and until tb railway took mo belt with a peat bunch of I Ka towers for the wardroom table to the life and the conditions of the sea. But.

GENERAL HEARTS ADVANCE ON THE TIGRIS.

TROOPS ATTACK WAIST-DEEP IN WATER. Fxox EJJroIfD CIJmTL ABU ROMAN. Ann. 17. At 7 o'clock this morning our troops stormed and carried the strong Turkish position of Belt Ewa on the right beak of the Tigris capturing over 200 prisoners.

The enemy's casualties must have been very heavy many dead being left in the trend tea. apart from those who fell on. Use open ground swept by our artillery. Our infantry were able to advance under coves of the guns up to the enemy's trenches and to rush the position without severe The first trenches fell almost immediately and our troops then continued the advance and consolidated their pootion some hundred' yards beyond the line theenemy had held. During the morning Turkish rmforomenta were observed pouring in from the direction of Es Sinn.

Two counter-attacks were Lunched by Wen but. were easily repulsed with heavy to- to the enemy. The present advance on the right bank began with the occupation of Abu Roman on April 5 which was simultaneous with the capture of El Hannah and Felahiefa on the other aide of the rives. Progress. though interrupted by the storms and foods bas been gradual.

lid has en carried through by a of actions in which the Turks had been driven back on the prepared position at lIeul which we took today. Owing to the difficult. and swampy nature of the ground which has made observation and the movement of largo bodies of troops almost importable the recent fighting has comprised a number of affairs of outposts. In three individual enterprise and have had full scope and our troops have maintained wrperi. wily over the enemy.

In one case an infantry patrol while keeping every Turkish head under the parapet. by mti9stve machine-gun fire. crept up and' enfiladed the enemy's position with bombs. In another Gurkha' pickets bluffed a outpost after a long sniping duel by throwing bOmbs towards a trench at. IM yards.

The Basaian victory at tbo Kara Derv seems to have decided the Turks to abandon Trebinond which was evacuated about a day and a half or two days before its on by the Russians. Only' rearguards were left by the Turks to delay the advance and cover their own retreat.

Rearguard fighting lasted for about two days. As the Turks were holding Baiburt the garrison of Trebtend could not be cut off Rtvter. GRAND DUKES OFFENSIVE. The following official are reseed in Petrograd. II.

Needless to say. the ttrituh announce. mat.

about cost are treated' as a result of the Paris Conference and it i suggested that there was after all some truth in the German lie that England had threatened to invade Holland. The Frankfurter 9. like mot other journal ray. that the British ides is to use neutral and especially Dutch merchant ship as a protection against the in man submarine blockade. and to make them bring to England foodstuffs and raw materials the free importation of which into Holland prevented by Fgj beXseIL' It.

The is of the usual kind and it. only be noted that. organs of the German coal industry like the YTerf ZflIung are particularly furious sod declare that English intrigues in Belgium having born ended by the German sword. England deter.

It ms argued that Germany will now regard English bunker coal in neutral ships a contraband and win consequently apply to such neutral ships the German methods of submarine warfare.

Other journal describe sarcastically the various re ort which have been circulated lately in Berlin. It has been said that a German prince has travelled to Pt that. Princ Billow and Admiral von Trpits are negotiating at Stockholm and that the Uermanoplul Dutch Premier. Mr. Kuyper.

who is in Uerrnany has gone there for political purposes. Another report mentioned contemptuously by the Berlin Lokaaeseiyer is that a Japanese emissary i staying in iWlin. but cannot id. the Government to listen to hi cften THE CULOT Cams. The German papers announced without comment on Friday morning the end of the Cabinet main.

There was little comment on the previous days. The military Krew Zeiuag remarked on Welnewlay that. from the German point of view. the decision can be awaited in Mil calm. and is indeed doubtful whether universal military service or the present state of again is the more advantageous for Germany.

Count Reventlow on Thursday supge at length that. the whole crisis wan a dark plot. intended in some way to lead up to peace yo tiations against which Germany muni be wry much on lies guard.
