ENGLAND AWAITS WAR
MOVES BY TURKEY
Prepared to Defend Egypt-Little
Hope for Peace.


LONDON, oct. 81.
Interest in the Turkish situation is in
creasing in intensity as the result of the
failure of the Porte officially to declare
war on Russia.
Despite the sinking of the Russian gum
boat Donets, the damaging of several
other vessels and the destruction of much
property in Odessa harbor and the other
overt acts by the TIrks reported from
various Black Sea points, the Turkish
Government has not assumed official re-
sponsibility. The Turkish Ambassador at
last accounts remained in Petrograd and
was reported to be endeavoring to in
fluence his Government to disavow the
actions OF its warships and to preserve
peace by promising an indemnity. And
the diplomatic representatives of Great
Britain and France at Constantinople
were reported to be making It plain to
the Sultan and his advisers that war
with Russia. of necessity, meant war
with the Allies.

London.-Progress by the Allies at
a score of points along the lighting
line from the North Sea to the Mouse
is affirmed by the official reports from
Paris and denied by the German OH
cial statements. In the absence OF
any way of finding OF just what is
happening on the western front, the
official communications may be placed
against the other and a balance struck
which seems to confirm the idea that
the invading hosts OF the Kaiser are
slowly losing ground, although this
is by no means a sure thing.
The German army of invasion in Po-
land is beating against the Russian
d~efenses 80 miles west of Warsaw.
The Russians are holding the right
bank OF the Bzura River and have de-
stroyed every German force which at
tempted to gain a foothold on the
right bank. After evacuating Lodz the
Russians withdrew to a line of trench
es which, together with artillery posi-
lions and natural obstacles, form a
strong defense line Is miles long from
west of Novo Georgievsk 20 miles
northwest of Warsaw, to Opoczno, 20
miles east of Piotrkow. For two week
the Germans have battered at the
Russian line, but have been unable
to break a way through to the Polish
capital. Down the Vistula from Plock,
a big Russian force is reported as ad-
vancing on Thorn in West Prussia.
In East Prussia the Russians claim
gains, but in West Galicia. the Aus
TRANS are driving out the Cars

Przemysl.
The last German casualty lisS pub
lished, not including the casualties of
December and not all of those in No

BATTLE LINE OF FIFTY MILES.
One of the Russian moves in the gi-
gantic lineiof contact, fifty miles long,
running north and south of Bzura and
Rawka rivers, has its base at Cracow,
where a Russian army of 100000 men,
under the command of the Bulgarian
General Radko Dimitrieff, has repulsed
the attacks directed against 1t in the
German attempt to relieve Cracow
and is swinging northward and east
ward, with the evident intention of
catching Won Hindenburgis forces in
the rear.
1t is. estimated that more than two
and one-half million men are involved
in the actual operations of the con
tending lines, and the suffering involv-
ed is intense, as bitterly cold weather
has set in-the sort of weather that

SUCCESSES FOR THE ALLIES.

London.-The Daily Chronicle prints
the following dispatch, which is dated
Northern France:
"A week Of successes for the Allies
has followed the resumption of hos
tll1ties in France and Flanders. Rou-
lers has been captured after our fierce
assaults on the German trenches out
side the town. The foundations be-
tween Dixmude and Newport have
been surrounded by the allied troops,
who have pushed northward from Dix
nude and southwark from Newport,
and have joined forces on the north
eastern side of the foods. Repeat
ed bayonet attacks have been pushed
home at Lombaertzyds, with the result
that our patrols have advanced to
Middlekerke. a few kilometres from
Ostend.
The fighting on the borders Of the
flooded area was particularly furious.
The Belgians advanced toward the
~intrenched positions Of the Germans at
Oostkerke, bit were driven back by
the well posted mitrailleuses Of the
enemy. Three times they rallied to
charge, end three times they were
repulsed. The fourth assault, how
ever, crowned the gallantry OF the Bel
gians with successes, and the trenches
wer3 carried at the point Of the bay
ouet.
So interviewer were the allied and
German trenches in this region that
the defeat of the enemy at Ooost-
kerke was responsible for the capture
Of nearly 1000 German prisoners.
They were caught in parties varying
from thirty to three hundred in num-
Der.
For a time the reckless dash of two
armored auto ears into the Belgian
lines nearly saved the situation for
them. The cars fired with deadly ef-
feet until they were compelled to with
draw.
The wounded are beginning to ar
rive at the base hospitals. The Ger
man casualties are reported to be very
heavy.
Our sweeping offensive has been no
less successful to the south. The
french and British troops have ar
rived at the gates Of Lille. Fierce bay
onet fighting in the streets of this
great industrial city is reported, and a
general withdrawal of the main Ger
man forces to Tourcoing and Roubaix
has taken place.
The Germans bombarded Armen-
there's. Their shells fell in the town
at the rate of two a minute for several
hours. Our artillery replied with
great effect.

that Field Marshall o Hindenburg is

Apparently the Germans have con-
