10000 RUSSIANS
REPORTED TAKEN
BY GERMANS
Berlin War Office Claims Big
Victory for Kaiser
TWO GENERALS PRISONERS
Three Hundred officers Among Rus
sian Troops That Fell Into the
Enemys Hands

Washington, Sept. 2-Official ad-
vices received through diplomatic
channels at Washington yesterday
reported two OF, the most important
developments of the present war.
Tho German embassy gave out a
message from Berlin received by
wireless claiming that the German
forces mad captured near A!'eastein
10000 Russian prisoners Including
two commanding generals, 31i Off
GERS and the entire equipment of
Russian artillery.
Great Britain asked the United
States to be prepared TO care Tor
British diplomatic interests in Tur-
key, indicating that the allies had
virtually lost hope OF persuading the
Ottoman empire to remain neutral
Dispatches received at the British
embassy referred to the incorpora-
ton in the Turkish army Of several
German officers which was regarded
as the forerunner of Intervention by
the Porte in behalf OF Germany.
Turkeys entry into the conflict
means the immediate alignment OF
Italy as well as Greece en- the side
OF Great Britain. France. Russia,
Servia, Montenegro and Roumania,
diplomats at Washington believe.
Just what the attitude OF Bulgaria
win be is a matter of uncertainty,
though the Turkish ambassador at
Washington gave out statement
yesterday speaking OF the communi-
Is OF interest Of Bulgaria and Tur
key
The Turkish situation Is being
watched with deepest concern by dip
lomats at Washington because OF
the imminence of a general war in
the Balkans and extension OF the
war drama 10 all of eastern Europe.
The official statement OF the big
German victory against the Russians
attracted wide attention. Military
observers pointed out that if the
numbo of Russians taken prisoners
had been correctly estimated at 70.-
900 there must have been great oasu
altles. no mention OF which was
made
The text OF the German dispatch
follows
Official report Of the victory at
Allenstein shows that It was even
greater than known before. Three
Russian army corps we're annIhilat-
ed, Seventy thousand prisoners
were taken. including TWO command
ing generals, 300 officers and the
complete a tinery OF the Russian
army
The statement conflicts TO some
extent with one issued by the
French embassy earlier in the day
which spoke OF the progress >, the
Russian offensive army.
The official claim of the Germans,
however, that 10000 Russians we're
captured exceeds In magnitude any
Cpe.atioh thus far recorded.
