FlcERs WHO LED ATTACK.
WOULD RECALL WARSHIPS
Express Desire to Remain at Peace
With Russia, France and Ger
many-Ambassadors Of Triple
Enterte Demand Passports.

London.-A Central News dispatch
from Bordeaux says:
THE French government has issued
a statement saying that the Turkish
government, in reply to a note or the
triple entente powers, confined itself
to proposing the recall Of Turkish war
ships to the ~Dardanelles, and expressed
a desire to remain at peace with Rus
STA, France and Germany. But In de-
fault of the dismissal of German OFF,
GERS in the Ottoman service the gov
of the triple entente could not
hope that Turkey would be able to
maintain the passive attitude which
she offered to adopt.
THE Ottoman government not hav-
ing thought it its duty to give, by dis
missing the German officers, the mark
Of sincerity to its intentions which
was requested, the ambassadors OF
France. Russia and Great Britain, in
conformity with the instructions OF
their government, demanded their pass
ports from the grand vizier, and left
Turkey.
From the impressions received from
Northern Africa 1t appears that the
Mussulman world intends in no de-
gree to throw in its lot with Turks.

clared a military area and that vessels
plying its waters will be in grave dan
ger from mines, which it has planted,
unless they obey the rules laid down

Iona War.

Paris.-Precise information as to
the number of men engaged in par
t1cular actions on the part of the
allies 3O0-mile battle line in France

of a small group of men who surround
Gen. Joffre, French commander-in-

size Of the armies engaged in the
western field of the war. something
like general accuracy is obtainable.
Competent persons attached to the
French war office estimate that the
Germans have In Belgium and France
and along. the German frontier to
Switzerland about 100000 men. The
French, English and Belgians have
about 2.225, 900 men on or near the
fighting lines.
