NOTES.

Adelphian continued their wi11nin 2 streak by trimming up Wheeler hand fly at Hairs lot. Saturday and thereby strengthened their hold on first place. Three hits in the first two innings netting four runs was sufficient to win keep the crowd amused Fred RitcheI and his crew hung up eight more tallies. Adelph:an presented an all star lineup and a very strong one. At Seaside park Fry for Konck was wild and ineffective against the K. of c. and the Knights scored an easy win. koncks fielding was somewhat ragged which probably accounted for F'ry's ineffectiveness But as Konck is known to be a strong fielding team they are expected to come back strong this week.

EPITOME OF
WAR NEWS

The Turkish action in the Black Sea
will be governed by the desire Of
EnVer Paeha to land 100000 men
on the Russian coast. II is reported
that 100000 Turks are massed on
the Caucasus border and that 3oo,-
600 are waiting at Beirut, Jaffa and
Syrian ports for transport to the
Sinai Peninsula.
The Germans report that the advance
Of their army in Belgium has been
made more difficult by the flooding
Of the User River and the Ypres
Canals.
The Russian official bulletin tells Of
the advance Of the victorious army
along the whole front beyond the
VistuIa River. Successes are also
mentioned In GaIieia, and against
Austrians who descended from the
carpathians.
Berlin states that the battle against
the Russians Is still indeelsiVe.
A British correspondent described the
fighting In West Flanders as the
bIOodlest battle in the history Of the
world, and said that the canals were
bridoed with dead.
Turkeys participation in the war, i
ls expected in Petrograd and in Off
eIaI and diplomatic circles in Wash
Inoton, will cause the Balkan states,
Roumania and Bulgaria, and prob
ably Italy and Greece, to enter the
conflict.
The London Press Bureau reports
that severe fighting continues with
little intermIssion along the lines
of Allies, especially toward the
north. The German resistance is
stubborn.
The Belgian Army has flooded the
lower valley Of User River, accord
ing TO the French War Office, COM

Turks Cavalry
Moves Toward

London Hears That Strong Forces
Have Arrived Near the
Red Sea.

London.-Turkey is not merely at
war with Russia; she has also thrown
the gauntlet to the Triple Entente.
Her warships, within tweny-four
hours, have attacked the cities of
Odessa, Theodosia and Noyorossisk,
have sunk the small Russian cruiser
Donets, have shelled the French
steamer Portugal and have destroyed
or damaged five Russian merchant
vessels.
simultaneously she has put her
troops in motion, evidently launching
an attack against the British in Egypt
A despatch from Cairo says that Turk
ish cavalry divisions are approaching
the Gulf of Akabah, the most easterly
projection Of the Red Sea, and that
the British and native forces in
Egypt are prepared for attack.
The Turkish cavalry is within 200
miles of the Suez Canal, which is
probably the object Of attack, and it
is reported that the force is very
strong and well equipped. There is a
report from Berlin that Turkish scouts
have appeared of the Gulf of Suez and
are using wireless outfits. Bedouins
are massing on the Egyptian frontier.
There are some indications that
Turkish officials are stirring the peo-
pie to religious fervor for war against
England. At Damascus, according to
the Exchange Telegraph Company,
there have been manifestations Of en-
thusiasm over the prospect Of a war
against the Christians and against
England.
The Ottoman empire, casting her
lot with Germany, went to war with
out warning, scorning the usual pre-
liminary notice of hostilities. The
bombardment of Theodosia and the
threat Navorossick were quickly fol
lowed by destroyer raid into the
harbor of Odessa and the attacks by
the German cruisers Goeben and Bres-
lau upon Russian shipping in the
Black Sea. There are credible re-
ports that the Turkish warships are
commanded by German officers and
that navy and army are in fall con-
troll of the German Government.

the La Basse Canal, but without
any success, according to the Off

This statement also reported a re-
newal of activity in the district Of
Rheims and the heights Of the

the country in the lower valley Of
the User and forced the Germans
who had crossed the river to fall
back. It Also reported that the

French and British corps to the
northeast and east Of Ypres were
repulsed and that the British
troops have undertaken an eneT-
getic offensive and have regained

GERMANS AIM AT CALAIS.

Copenhagen. - Dispatches received
from Berlin reveal an entirely new
war plan adopted by Germany after
the disaster in Poland.
The German General Stan has de-
cided to recall the armies in Poland
to the frontier in Silesia and hold
them there in a defensive campaign
until the battle in Flanders is over
and Calais is taken.
Three or four army corps, or 2O0.-
600 men, are to be transferred from
the Silesian army to assist the Ger
man forces in Belgium.
The General Staff has elected to
sacrifice offensive operations in the
east to the necessity of winning in the
west.
That Germany has by no means
given up its determination to take
Calais is indicated by this significant
report, from Berlin.

HThe Germans destroyed our

Military critics regard the
prolonged assaults of the Germans
along the User as having failed, and
they expect that the Germans, follow
ing their custom, viii now make an
other effort elsewhere. The great
activity in Upper Alsace during the
last few days suggests an attack in
that quarter. It is declared here that
all the German wounded at Saint
Louis have been taken across the
Rhine, and that all applications for
safe conducts in Upper Alsace have
been refused.
No one here doubts that the Ger
