WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Interest in the battles raging
in the east and west of Europe,
where decisive results are still to
be attained, today was momen-
tarily overshadowed by Turkeys
entrance into the great war
through her Inauguration of hos
tilities against Russia.
Although no formal declaration
of war is reported, the Russian
ambassador at Constantinople has
withdrawn.
It was made known today that
in addition to sinking two steam
ers in the Black sea and lombard
ing the city of Theodosia in the
Crimea, Turkish warships had en-
tered the port of Odessa, sunk a
Russian gunboat and damaged a
French liner.
The enormous sacrifices made
by the Germans to force passage
of the User are sad by the French
war Office to have been in vain.
The German forces who main
tanned their hard-won place to the
south of the User, notxithstand-
ing the heavy cost in life, are now
said to have withdrawn. What
the shot and shrapnel could not
accomplish has been achieved by
another device, the Belgians hav-
ing flooded the lower valley of the
river.
Admiral Lord Fisher is to sue
ceed the Austrian-born Prince
Louis of Battenberg, whose resig-
nation as first sea lord of the
British admiralty has been
brought about by the anti-alien
agitation in England.
