THE WAR.
Gallant Fighting of the Turks.
An American Hero Leads them
Russia Preparing to Advance.

The gallant and furious fighting of the
Turks has been granIly demonstrated in
the recent battles. Be they heathens, in
fIels, barbarians, or what not, they will
receive the admiration Of the world be
cause of their desperate and courageous
lighting. On every important field the
Turks have been the real victors, aud ON
ly overwhelming numbers have saved the
Russians from anuihilation. Our opinion
is, and has always been, that it was only
question of time when the Russians
would conquer the Turks; but they must
improve their fighting or they may never
do it. The probabilities are, however,

the Turks Turkeys real chance is TO
so proIong the end by desperate fighting,
that the other Powers will interfere in
the interest of peace,
The fighting around shipka Pass has
been most desperate and bloody on beth
sides. The slaughter was fearful, reach
ing from ten to fifteen thousand on each
side. The Turks failed to di-Ioige the
Russians, bnt gained important victories
elsewhere, while this bate was pendin &.
The Importance of this Pass is that IL
separates the three grand divisions Of
the Turkish army, aud prevents them
uniting on any combined attack In this
respect the Russians have the advantage.
in us much as they can throw their whole
army together at any given point. Some
say this tactics will ultimately enable
the Russians to whip the Turks much
quicker than present outlook would iuIi-
