 Further south the Russians continue to push on to the Austrian fortress of Cracow, which is defended by Austrian troops under German officers.
 Fighting continues in the Caucasus between the Russian and Turks, but with what result it is not known, as both governments announce victories.
 Turkey has issued a statement through Rome placing the blame for the war between the British and Ot- toman empires on England who, she says, complains of Turkeys acquisi- ton of the German cruisers Goeben and Breslau and does not mention anything of her seizing of two Turkish battle ships which were building in England at the outbreak of the war.
 Turkey also charges that England did all she could to wreck Turkey, and that the British guarantee of integri- ty could not be regarded seriously be- cause of her occupation of Egypt.
 Turkeys threat to preach holy war is a cause of uneasiness in Germany as we'll as in England and in France, close observers of the political situation point out. because of it's possible ef- feet on Italy So far as Egypt Is con- cerned the danger mark seems to have passed as the chiefs of the Ulema, com posed of the leading Moslem religious societies, have issued a proclamation urging the Moslems to remain calm, while the sheiks in the Sudan have re- trained from taking action regarding Turkeys proclamation of war-on the allies.
