Ottomans have mysteriously closed
Temporarily at least, their campaign

suit OF Turkeys entrance into the
war has been the occupation by Eng

ton of the army from the Constant.-
nople defenses. Bulgaria will enter
the war on the side Of the allies when
ever an understanding concerning her
territorial expansion can be reached.
Bulgaria's help would permit an as
sault upon Constantinople from Eu-
rope. II at the same time the Turkish
army was operating against Egypt or
was trying to gain foothold In the
Caucasus, Constantinople's fall would
be inevitable.
The Turkish army seems destined

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-(11 a. MI
The cars journey to Tifis, the ad-
illustrative center OF the Caucasus
suggests that preparations are under
way for the development of q serious
Russian campaign against the Turks.
Petrograd has preserved silence
about military movements in the Cau-
casus In striking contrast to the con-
slant publicity given the Poland cam
paign. The probable reason is that
concentration OF new Russian army
is now occurring in the Caucasus,
Under present circumstances 1t would
be undesirable that any news be al
lowed to become known that might
give information to the Germans con-
corning the weakening Of the Siav
forces in Poland.
The cars arrival at Tiflis sug-
gests the. concentration Is now being
completed. since his presence at the
Turkish front in advance of most OF
his troops would lose most of Its Ell
feet. The probability Is therefore
that before long Russia will begin an
invasion of Asia Minor and will at
tempt to cross the seven hundred
long miles to Constantinople before
the war ends.
The continued impotence Of Tur-
keys own military movements since
the Mahometans took up the cudgeis
in defense OF Germany emphasizes the
suggestion recently made in this col
umn that clashes have occurred at
Constantinople concerning the strate-
eic interests of Germany and Turkey.
lrresolution is apparent and no cam
paign indicating firm grasp OF the
situation has developed. Several
weeks ago Turks announced they
were making victorious march on

BUENOS AYRES, Dec. 12.TThree
hundred beds for the wounded in the
Falkland naval engagement have been
requested by wireless messages re-
ceived today at ldontevideo from the
British fleet According to the wire
less, the wounded will reach Monte
vlleo Monday. It is supposed that
practically all of them are Germans,
rescued by the British warships from
the Gneisenau and the Leipzig.
Only those vessels under Sir Fred
erick Sturdee's command having the
wounded aboard, are expected at
Montevideo. The rest OF the vessels,
according to wireless messages, are
several hundred miles to the north
ward, of the South American coast.
A message received at Montevideo
last night stated that they would pass
that point, 300 miles at sea, on Sun
day.
The ships bearing the wounded will
then detach from the squadron and put
into, the UruEuayan port.
It is believed that the desire Of the
British to force German sympathizers
to take care Of the German wounded is
responsible for the landing at Monte
video instead OF at a port In the
Falkland Islands. which are British
colony.
Extensive German interests and in
iuences here are working hard to put
the best possible complexion on the
defeat Of Admiral vonSpee. The same
sources which yesterday spread via
the wireless the report that three
British ships had been sunk are now
alleging that Admiral Sturdee violat-

TRIESTE, Nov 7.-(By mail to
New York. )-Gaetano Fernaro is TWEEN
ty.flve years old. Yesterday he arriv-
ed home from the battlefield Of
Przemysl by way Of Vienna. a. man
changed in two months as time alone
could never age.
After the friends and neighbors had
gazed upon this mutilated youth. once
the dashing Gaetano, now a miserable
wreck, one leg shot off by Russian
shell, one hand-slashed by Russian
nagaika, he told me the story OF the
bombardment of Przemysl, the inter.
minable battle which is still wasting
the lives Of countless men.
Gaetano's story is the first account
from Austrian sources to be given OF
this famous siege The pallid nara
tor, we'll educated, an Italian subject
Of Trieste, is a member OF the sew
enth Austrian regiment and he was
among the first OF the wounded to be
removed from the city when communi
cation with Vienna was established on
October 18th. He frst fought with
the regiment at 1emberg and then
had Joined the garrison at Przemysl
Il will repeat the story as he told It
to me, his OH mother standing in the
doorway. tears running down her
cheeks as she gazed upon her hand
some son lying helpless upon the bed
beneath the protecting picture of the
Madonna.
"The first Cossack appeared before
th., fort on the 10th of September and
by the twenty-second OF September
Ave regiments OF Russians had form
ed about Przemysl until they had
completely surrounded the circle of
our forts They advanced step by
step slowly. terribly, horribly, heavy
losses marking every step Of their APP
proacl,. For the garrison OF Przsemysl
manifested great spirit in taking the
offensive and made sallies against the
enemy constantly, supported in their
sorties By the splendid artillery Of
the powerful forts, some distance
away.
"On the second of October the COM
mander Of the besiegins troops Radko
Dimitrieff, sent an emissary to the
commander of the fort with note
asking him to surrender. The offer
was energeticallp and Indignantly re-
fused. Gaetano's mention OF Radke
Dimitrieff's name carried an uncon-
scious respect for the famous Bull
gar:an general who resigned his posi-
ton as ambassador from Bulgaria to
Russia in order to enter the army Of
the car at the outbreak Of the war.
''The fifth of October continued
the wounded soldier, "the Russians
commenced a terrific assault against
our entire front, having evacuated
trenches about the fortress. Armed
with 'naeaika,' the sharp knives some
thing like Spanish machete used
TO- cutting barbed wires, and with
hand bombs. hundreds of Russian SOL
diers goaded on by officers cutting
and sticking them in the rear with
