late reports anything akin to q de-
cisive victory for her arms. In east
Prussia the German left wing is sad
to be retreating precipitately toward
Eiala and Lyck and in Poland me
Austrians are reported as fleeing 10

Russians declare they captured hf-
teen thousand men.
To the contrary. however, the Aus
trians say they have been able TO
hold the Russians at Lysa Cora. m
south Poland, while their troops
made a wheeling movement to an
other line Of defense.
Germans Fcll Back.
Along the battle front in Belgium
and France probably the most am
bilious feats at arms are occurring
in the region around Ipres, upon
which the Germans fell back from
the north on account of their iailure

By the Germans and an attack IN
force is expected to take place shortly
against the allies in renewed at
tempt to proceed to Calais. Both
sides make claim to only slight ad-
yantages at various parts along THIS
line.
A Belgian official report says that

near Schoorbalke, found no Germons
but that IAN almost unbrokel col

Pushing the Turks.
The allies are hard after the
Turks Russian troops have crossed
the frontier of Turkey ana taken
eight towns In addition the Anglo
French fleet still is bombarding the
forts of the Dardanelles and a British
cruiser has thrown shells into Turk
ish Red sea port In Arabia.
That Turkey has accepted as final
the refusal Of the allies to accept her
apology for the bombarument OF Rus
sian ports and ships is indicated by
her recalling her diplomatic repre-
triple entente powers. Several Turk
ish cabinet ministers have resigned
because of lack of sympathy with
the war party in the government.
Berlin reports that the T. rsan
ministers in Petrograd had g . anded
that Russia recall the Ru. IN forces
now In north Persia.
The British admiralty has learned
unoffclally of the naval fight be-
tween German and British cruisers
off Chile, but declines at present to
accept the German version of it.

Turkey has definitely broken off dip
lomatic relations with Great Britain
France Russia and Servia. Her dip
lomatic representatives in the capitals
of these countries acting on orders
from the porte. today demanded and
received their passports. Some or
them already have left their posts
while the others will depart tomOr-
row.
1t is understood that Turkeys apol-
opy for the actions of her fleet IN
homharding Russian Black sea ports
and Russian ships proved unaccepta-
bic to the powers of the triple entente,
in that Turkey was not prepared to
accede to the demand that the Ger.
man officers in her service be dis
missed and the ships purchased from
Germany dismantled.
Begin the IIgating.
The powers which the Ottoman.
government thus deiied are already
taking warlike action against Turkey.
The British have destroyed Fort Aka
ban. in Arabia. the Russians have in
vadcd Asia Minor. and an Anglo
French fleet is bombarding the forts
Of the Dardanelles.
Speculation is rife as to what the
other Balkan powers Will do. Greece
Is said to be preparing to take sides
with the allies. while Belgium has
given assurance of neutrality. Bull
garia, however Is mObilizing for, as u
Bulgarian diplomat said, with Tur-
key as the area of the war. Bulgaria
must be prepared for any eventual
ties"
German Naval Raid.
Next to the Turkish situation. the
appearance of German warships off
the coast ol England Is causing most
of the discussion la this country to-
day. There is "a di position among
naval men to believe that no serious
raid was intended. hut that the Ger
mans hoped t. induce British war
ships to follow them and. 10y using
mines as they retired. to catch some
of the bigger ships, as they did the
submarine D-5. The fact that the
