LONDON LOOKS FOR Big
MOVE ON WEST FRONT
Thousands of Troops Have Left
England Daily in Last
Few Weeks

LONDON, Aug. 81.
The awr Office Just now is as silent as
the desert sphinx, but London hears that
something is about to happen on the
western front. The question most asked
here is this:
when is the big blow coming OFF,
The average Londoner is waiting in
highly interested expectancy. He believes
he will not have to wait long.
All the readers behind his deductions
cannot be stated here. But it is sutii-
cient to note that soldiers are becoming
more scarce In London. The killed Scots,
becapped British Islanders and Canadians,
behatted Australians and New Zealanders
and turbaned Indians are fast disappear
ing from the gaze of civilian London
hundreds of thousands of them. Daily
for the past month they have been moving
off somewhere" and II is known here
that the British front in France has been
heightened, exactly how much the public
does not know.
The times today directed attention to
the military situation in France, and pos
sible developments after the end of the
Austro German drive i'm the East in an
article severely critizing the Government.
1t was charged that instead of adopting
strategic policy England was merely
drifting"
What will the situation I'm England
be- asks the Times, IF Russia is serl-
ously defeated and the enemy's legions
stream back to the eWst, which is the
centre of gravity of the enemy's power?"
The Times added that England should
be ready to meet the expected blow in
France.

Penetrates Golden Horn
and Attacks Galata
ATHENS, Aug. 81.

ATHENS, Aug. 81
A portion of the Galata bridge was
blown up by an allied submarine, accord
ing to dispatch received here today
The dispatch states that the population
and officials of Constantinople are panic
stricken because of the offensive of the
allied forces.
Another dispatch from Constantinople
says that Turkish artillery has destroyed
the position of the allied troops near
sedd-Ul-Bahr, It was officially announced
today.
The feat of the submarine was most
remarkably In ordeT to make the attack
il had to pass through the Sea of Mar
mora to the Bosphorus. The submarine
attack struck at the very heart of Con-
stantinople. The Galata bridge spans the
Golden Horn, between Stamboul and
Galata.
In Galata are situated all OF the prln-
cipal banks and commercial houses,
wherein are stored millions Of specie and
securities. Galata is the chief shipping
district of the capital. The Imperial OF
toman Bank, the Bourse, the tobacco
monopoly, the British consulate and other
big institutions are located there.
Several weeks ago 1T was reported that
a submarine, which had penetrated the
Bosphorus, had attacked the Galata
bridge. In other raids several Turkish
ships were sunk.

gambling is flourishing unchecked in the

the bettors with renewed vigor. He is
going East tomorrow and may start
something as soon as gets TO the sea-

gambling at the American League park
in Boston is unjust" said Mr.. johnson.
