POSSESSION OF RAILWAYS

forts have been directed against the
heights of the Mouse to the east and
south of Verdun, in which both they
and the Germans claim to have made
gains. The object of these operations
is to compel the Germans to evacuate
St. Miehl. where their line reaches the
river Mouse, causing a considerable
bending of the French front
In DardaneIIes
To the general purpose more inter-
esting are the operations in the OAR
danalies, Of which, however, nothing
has been officially published for some
days. 1t is presumed that the allied
fleet is waiting for the mine sweepers
to complete their work before the at
tacks on the forts are renewed and
perhaps also for the arrival Of rein
forcenents of ships, men and ammu-
milton.
Upon the success of these opera
lions depends not only the fate Of
Turkey, but probably the future poll
cy Of the Balkan states and Italy. In
italy big demonstrations were held to-
day, calling upon the government to
take action to realize the ambitions Of
the country; while in the Balkan CAPT.

side Of the Allies. Before this can
be done. Serbia must be induced to
make concessions to Bulgaria in that
part Of Macedonia which fell to her

mans are also active in Sofia and
are trying to induce Bulgaria, by the
cession Of part Of European Turkey
to remain neutral.

have been taken from the trenches

The German losses in killed, in pris-

say has been two to one compared

counter attacks. 1t was in these cOun-

troops that SO many German SOL
