LONDON. (Thursday) Aug 27--A closer veil than ever seems to be drawn over the progress of the war. Little news has come to hand con corning the operations on either front
 The Russians, however, appear to be continuing their advance in east Prussia toward Posen, with the Ger mans in retreat
 The only news from the French side is the troops were attacked along the Alsace and Lorraine line but re- pulsed the attacks successfully. There are no indications that the German attack was in any great force, but if it was, the French success shows that they are now in a stronger position along this frontier.
 The belief is held here that even should the Germans succeed in reach ing Paris, the Russians will almost as certainly reach Berlin

 The Turkish cabinet Is wavering be- tween declaration of war and the preservation of neutrality
 Strict censorship has been placed on all newspapers in Turkey, which are controlled by the military and are being used, according to diplomatic dispatches here. to create a strong pro-German feeling Diplomatic rep resentatiyes of various powers are in constant conference with government officials and Great Britain and Rus sia are endeavoring to keep Turkey neutral The German ambassador it is understood, has ntimated that while Germany wishes Turkey to re- main neutral, he believed the Otto- man Empire should mobilize to pre- vent invasion by Russia.
