WAR STORY OF TO-DAY.

Notwithstanding official denials
Il is believed in Rome that there
is basis for the report that Turkey
and possibly Austria are consider
ing the initiation OF peace negotia-
tons. In this connection signifi-
canoe is attached TO the presence
in Switzerland of Djavid Pasha,
the Turkish Minister Of Finance.
Rome dispatches say his denials
that he is on peace mission should
not be regarded too seriously. Of
fetal denial was made at Vienna
last week that such negotiations
were in progress.
A statement from the Turkish
War Office says the Turkish Fleet
has sunk two Russian ships in the
Black Sea near Odessa. II is said
also that mine sweeper which
attempted 20 approach the entrance
10 the Dardanelles was destroyed.
Servian losses in the border fight
ing with Bulgarian irregulars are
placed by Nish at l25 men killed
or wounded. The Bulgarian force,
il is said, amounted TO one and
one-half regiments.
Beyond the bare admission that
the Austrian forces in the Beskids
have been compelled TO retreat
Vienna has given no indication
Of the status Of affairs along that
section Of the Hungarian frontier.
There is no indication whether
Hungary is threatened seriously
with invasion. The Russian War
Office not only claims a great sue
cess in the Beskids but asserts def
mite advantages have been gained
over the Germans in Northern PO-
land.
