Russians to Aid Attack.

Berlin, March 5.-The Russian
Black Sea feet is steaming toward
the Bosphorus, says a Rome dis
patch, and already has passed Bur-
gas, Bulgaria. (Burgas is on the
western shore Of the Black Sea, near
| the eastern extremity of the Balkans.
! 1t is rs miles north of Adrianople.)
Should the Russian fleet attack the
Bosphorus. it presumably would
have to deal with the Turkish fleet,
which is supposed to be in that re-
gion, and the most powerful member
Of which is the cruiser Sultan Selim,
formerly the German cruiser Goeben.
The Bosphorus is about IS miles
long and from One-half to one and a
half miles wide. 1t is defended with
modern fortifcations, which guard
the approach to Constantinople at
the western end.
Ali Sides Claim Gains.
Paris, March 7.-The following Of
fetal statement was issued here to-
day by the war office:
1--WE continued to gain ground
north of Arras. in the region Of
Notre Dame de Lorette, where we
seized several trenches, the enemy's
losses were important.
I'm Champagne we progressed
| slightly north of Perthes and north
west Of Beausejour.
''ln the Vosges we captured sue
, cessively west Of Munster two sum-
mits. The enemy twice counter-at-
tackled from Muehlbach and st. OFF
wehr, that is from the south and
north. These attacks were repulsed.
Moreover, on the right bank Of
the Fecht river we seized Imberg,
two-thirds Of a mile southeast OF
| FultZeren. This success was COM
pleted further north by the capture
OF Hill S56, south Of Hauteshuttes.
