A story bristling with sensational
features and as lurid as any border
drama, was told in Americus yesterday
evening; a story of attack upon 4
young girl, bound hand and foot and
gagged by her inhuman captors, who
thrust her into a dark closet until she
could be kidnapped and carried away at
midnight. Such was the thrilling and
remarkable story told the Americus
police, and upon which they are still
working for a clue.
That a young woman could thus he
attacked in prominent place of busi-
ness and in the very heart of the retail
district, without detection, renders the
affair the more remarkable.

Surprised by Suddenness Of
Russian Attack.


Bombardment of DardanelIes Forts
by AngIo-French Fleet Continues at

Fire, Responding With Few Shots.
Athens, Nov. 7.-Constantinople ad-
vices state that the Turkish army is
partly demoralized by the suddenness
of the Russian attack, which disar-
ranged all the general staff's strategic
plans.
The Turks had expected the Rus
slams would be caught short of troops
in Caucasia and had prepared several
columns of troops with which to
strike. Instead the Russians, without
waiting for any formal exchanges of
declarations of war, threw four col
umns across the border into Armenia.
The strongest of these, after de-
fec ting the Turkish border guard. is
pushing rapidly forward toward Erze-
rum A second column, which took
Fort Bayazel after three hours of
fighting, is also moving into the in

necessity of fighting a defensive cam
paign, are now reorganizing their line
and are dverting troops originally In

Giadin and Arab has moved back
from these positions to others, the
location of which is not revealed.
The bombardment of the Darda-
pelles forts by the Anglo-French feet
at long range continues. While one
small magazine is understood to have
been exploded the damage up TO the
present time has not been great. The
Turks are resrving their fire and have
responded with only few shots.

Ypres and the apex at Roulers.
Around this comparatively small area

into actual physical contact. Only
sheer weight of men and metal is suf-

Reports from British and French
sources make the claim that the Ger

the allies now have a reasonable hope
of driving back their foes to the in
general retirement along the rest
Of the line.
German advices. however, offer no
basis for such a conclusion. Appar-
