probable advance to the north OF the
Polish capital, where the Germans
have crossed the Narew river along

through the attack of the Germans
from Pultusk. nortnward. has
brought them to a point south of Os-
tralenka. The latest success of the
Germans brings them within twenty
five miles of North Warsaw, but the
Polish capital has second line or

confirmed, that Turkey mas coded to
Bulgaria the Turkish portion of the

this cession will have TO effect on
Bulgarian neutrality, but the belief is
expressed here that Turkey would not
be likely to give up such valuable
territory without the promise of sub
stantial aid from Bulgaria.
The English Newspapers comment
with warm approval on the American
note to Germany, but two of the lead
ing organs express some concern ovr~
the paragraph, which under condf-
lions promises cooperation with &C.

seas. Comments on the paragraph OF
the note which processes to see an

it is over the effects of such a war
