TURKEY IS READY
TO JOIN GERMANY
Italy and Greece Will Then Align
=. With Allies.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Great Britain
asked the United States to be prepar-
ed to care for British diplomatic in
terests in Turkey, indicating that the
allies practically have lost hope of
persuading the Ottoman empire to re.
main neutral.
Dispatches received at the British
embassy referred to the incorporation
in the Turkish army of several Ger
man officers, which was regarded as
the forerunner of Intervention by the
porte in behalf of Germany.
Turkeys entry into the conflict
means the immediate alignment OF
Italy as we'll as Greece on the side OF
Great Britain, France, Russia, Servia
Montenegro and Roumania, diplomats
here believe.
Just what the attitude of Bulgaria
will be is a matter of uncertainty
though the Turkish ambassador here
gave out a statement speaking of the
community of interest of Bulgaria
and Turkey.

LARGEST CONFLICT
SINCE WAR BEGAN
Germans Capture 10000 Pris-
oners and All Artillery.

Washington, Sept. 2.-The greatest
battle yet fought in the war in Eu.
rope is indicated in the official dis.
patches from Berlin that tell of the
capture by the Germans of 10000
Russian prisoners at Allenstein,
American military experts declare.
The victory was announced by the
German embassy, which received a
wireless message from Berlin. The
capture was made near Allenstein
and included two commanding gener-
ais, 300 officers and the entire equip.
nlent of Russian artillery, the mes.
sage said.
Observers pointed out that if the
number of Russians taken prisoners
has been estimated correctly at 10000
there must have been great casual
ties, of which no mention is made.
Dispatches from Copenhagen also
reported the capture Of the prisoners,
quoting the German general staff as
locating the incident at Gilgenburg
Gilgenburg is in East Prussia, south.
west of Koenigsberg and not far from
Allenstein.
The official statement given out
conflicts to some extent with the one
issued by the French embassy which
speaks of the progress of the Russian
offensive army. The official assertion
of the Germans, however, that 10000
Russians were captured exceeds in
magnitude any operation thus far re
corded

Germans Are Hammering Defense:
With Miqht and Main.

London, Sept. 2.-Nowhere have the
lines of the allies really been pierced
by German troops. This is very i'm
portant, for it shows the German cav
airy raiders which appeared at La
Fere were merely a detachment circl-
ing from the North Belgian frontier
and consequently were without sup
port.
The Germans still are hammering
the frontier defenses with might and
main. The morale of the French
troops is excellent. Reinforcements
have reached the battle lines and the
losses have been made up.
