serious disaster to the German Baltic
squadron in September.
Be(lOuins in the Field.
In the hostile army. opposed by
long lines of British forces in trenches
it is said there are ten thousand Be-
douins. Interest attached to this re-
port chiefly because of the recent
proclamation of the sultan of Turkey
calling on Mohammedans the world
over to rise to arms against Great
Britain and the other members OF the
triple entente. Thus far there have
been no indications that the proclama-
ton has led to uprising affecting
British interests elsewhere. although
on several occasions there have been
reports from Berlin OF dissension in
India.
The destruction OF a German battle
ship is reported In Paris. The VII
helm der Crosse Is said to have been
sunk by a mine in the Baltic. but
there was no confirmation Of the re-
port. An official communication of
the Russian army of the Caucasus
tells Of further heavy fighting by the
Russian forces which have invaded
Turkey, but gives no indacatipns OF
the outcome.
The situation in Russian Poland
was as much OF mystery as ever. Pri-
vate dispatches from Petrograd make
further statements that Russia has
overwhelmed the Germans, but they
are not confirmed Officially. Grand
Duke Nicholas. the Russian comman-
der, reports successes in several en-
gagements, but says nothing to tndt-
cate that the decisive blow has been
struck.
On the western battlefield there was
continued calm. The British fleet il
said to have resumed bombardment
of German positions on the Belgian
coast along the front. The fighting
apparently was limited to small
skirmiShes.
