A correspondent with the Turks says
that their plan Of operations is to cross
the Morava, storm the Servian position
at Deligrad, occupy 1t, and then return
to take Alexinatz. Both positions are
strong and the task is one OF enormous
difficulty. The first attempt to carry out
the plan by bridging the Morava on Mon
day was q failure. - ''7. Il
A Belgrade special to the Daily Ne,rs
says the rain has been falling in torrents
for two days. The Morava Valleyis now a
great swamp. By systematically burning
the villages the Turks have destroyed what
would have been their shelter, and they
are now exposed without cover to the
storm. Important military operations
are impossible, and a'week OF rain will
render the valley untenable. The Ser
yians have supplies for a wears cam
paign. At Delfgrad and Alexinatz the
Turks are obliged to haul everything
from Mesh, and their withdrawal TO that
place is expected. t ra.l

LONDON, September 16.-A Daily
Telegraph special from Vienna asserts
that Germany will not move in aid OF
Russia's demand on Turkey, and in the
event OF war will remain absolutely
neutral.
A Telegraph correspondent at Paris re-
lates that a sensation was caused in that
city by the publication in the Journal La
France OF the text OF an alleged treaty
signed by Bismarck and Gortschakoff,
purporting to haye been made last June
and providing for the settlement Of the
Eastern question in case Of war. The
whole thing is absurd, but 1t caused
much excitement and obtained credence
in certain circles.
The Times publishes aletter from Mr..
Gladstone dealing with the recent speech
Of Lord Derby on the Eastern question.
Mr.. Gladstone finds faultwith the govern
ment for merely protesting, and con-
cludes with the declaration: 1.-THE time
has come to say, you must let Europe de-
fine what Is Just and then exact it." The
writer expresses the belief that the cir
cumstances now demand an early as
sembling Of Parliament. .,.,,, -.
