 In view of present efforts of the American government to have Turkish troops sent to the region, it was re- garded as probable here that 10 fur ther effort would be made to get aid from the Russian soldiery. In view os hostilities between Russia and Turkey, aid from both sides would be impossi- ble. It was suggested also that the consuls at Tabriz were moved to be cautious in getting troops into the

THE LEFT OFIKLUCK's
 ARMY THREATENED

Why did the German forces which were confronting us and on the evening before attacking furiously, retreat on the morning of the 10th? Because, in bringing back. on the 9th, several army corps from the south to the north to face our left. the enemy had exposed his left to the attacks of the British army which immediately had faced round toward the north and to those of our armies which were prolonging the Eng fish lines to the right. This is what the French had sought to bring about This is what happened on September &, and allowed of the development and re- mobilization which it was to effect
 On the 9th the British army had set out from the line Roczy-Lagny and that evening had reached the southward bank of the Grand Morin. On the 7th and Sth it continued it's march and on the 9th and had debouched north of the Marne be- low Chateau Thierrry, taking in flank the German forces which on that day were opposing on the Ourcq oureft army. Then it was that these forces began to retreat, while the British army, going in pursuit and capturing seven guns and many prisoners, reached the Aisne be- tween Soissons and Longuevaf
 The role of the French army which was operating to the right of the British army was threefold. It had to support our center which from the 7th of Septem- Der had been subjected to German at- tack of great violence. Finally, it's mis- sion was to throw back the three active army corps and the reserve corps which faced it. On the 7th, 1t made leap forward and on the following days reached and crossed the Marine, seizing, after desperate fighting, guns, howitzers and mitrailleuses and 1,30O00O cartridges. On the 12th, it established itself on the north edge of the Montagne-de- Refine. in sAr- 6--- 4.--- r.

Armies on Other Fronts Await Turn of Battle at Gateway of Hungarian Empire
RUMORS THAT ITALY WILL ENTER THE WAR
 LACK CONFIRMATION
Situation in the DardanelIes Unchanged-Dutch Offi- cials Confer on German Attacks on Shipping

Berlin, March 26.-(via London, March P, 2:30 a. m.)-The following official communication was issued to- night:
 Several hostile airmen dropped bombs on the southern part of Metz today. They were driven away by our artillery fire. Three soldiers were killed, but no material damage was done"
 London, March 26.-C0:I5 p. m.) The comparative inactivity along the western front leads to the belief in London military circles that the armies awaiting the turn of events in the Csrpathians before attempting to strike a hard blow.
 The British are resting on their vic- tory at Neuve Chappelle, victory which cost them almost as dearly in men as it did the Germans and the Germans, though they are reported to be massing troops for fresh offen- sive, have undertaken nothing in the west comparable with their rush of last fall.
 Some military observers declare the fall of Przemysl will exert no imme- diate influence on the warfare in the Carpathians, but the optimistic Brit fish press says the Austrian right has been turned and that the evacuation of Szernowitz is imminent.
 Germany is declared to be sending vast endorsements into the Carpath- ians and the newspapers deem it not Illogical to conclude that the fighting - the gateway to Hnnsssf4 y i4i 1sssSlf4s d marked influence on the German cam paign in the east and west.
 RumOrs Unconfirmed
 Rumors of the approaching inter- vention of Italy, coupled with asser- tions that Austro- German troops are massing along the Italian frontier, continue to be prominently printed, but foundation in fact is difficult to find.
 The situation in the Dardanelles, so far as known, remains unchanged. The \ admiralty has vouchsafed no confirm r ation of a report that the superdread- naught Queen Elizabeth and other ships. among them the battleship Triumph, which recently bombarded Smyrna. have entered the straits.
 Reports from allied- sources say that German officers are leaving Constanti- nople and that the situation there is gloomy. but there is nothing official to show that the Turks are discour- aged.
 The Dutch newspapers protest against the sinking of the Dutch steamer Medea off Beaehy Head by a German submarine. A dispatch from The Hague says cabinet council to- day considered the question of the damage being done to Dutch shipping and that there were other conferences among government officials.
 The Dutch government already has sent to Berlin a protest against the alleged attack by a German aeroplane on the Dutch steamer Zevenbergen
