German of GERS from her ships and

Fighting on sea and land shows how
meaningless has been the protest8-
( lions of Turkish officials. II is report
ed from Rome that British and French
squadrons sank two Turkish warships
in the harbor of Tchesme, Smyrna
The Turks renewed the bombardmen!
of Odessa and Theodosia.
Turkish armies are massing near

and two Turkish army corps are near
ing the frontier of Egypt, and the ra
port persists that from 1000 to 5000
Bedouins have already crossed the
border.

coast of Smyrna and is sending Null

Anglo-French fleet, which has been
concentrated within striking distance
of the DardanelleS. entered the harbOr
of Tchesme. which is forty miles west
southwest Of Smyrna, and found two
Turkish warships for which the feet
had been searching. These were the
gunboat Duhakreisi and the converted
cruiser Kinaliada. The report says
that the Turkish ships were sunk.

with eleven-inch rifles, but the fire OF
the forts was so vigorous that the war
ship was injured and compelled t

the Selim which said, Damaged, will
return to Constantinople for repairs,
was intercerted. The former German
cruiser was accompanied by the BreS-
lau and four Turkish destroyers.

100000 on the Caucasus border and
that 100000 soldiers are oncamped at
Bernit, Jaffa and other ports for trans

key has concentrated troops are block
AIDED by British and French warships
