TWO TURK DESTROYERS SUNK
ALLIED DRIVE BEGINS
SaIonika. - The Turkish fleet is
marooned in the Black sea, where its
coal is rapidly becoming exhausted.
During its recent dash into the
Black sea the Russian fleet success
fully mined the entrance to the Bos-
phorus. The fleet in returning sent
the destroyers on in front. Two of
them struck mines and were sunk.
Rome.-ItaIy's last word to Aus
tria, which is expected to take the
form of an ultimatum, is expected to
come at any time. The nation is
ready for war. So certain is official
dom that the conflict cannot long be
postponed that the Austrian ambas-
sador has wired his brother to pre-
pare his Insbruch villa for his occu-
pancy.
The frontier is a scene of activity.
Military preparations are feverishly
proceeding.
Paris.-"This is no time even to
suggest peace talk. Stoppage of the
war at this time would benefit only
Germany. The allies have assumed
the task of crushing Prussian miitar-
ism and must refuse to be diverted
from that task"
That is the word given Col E. M.
House, personal friend and "observ-
er" for President Wilson, who is now
in this city.
London.-From a point near the
sea in Belgium to the vicinity of Lille
the British troops are forcing the
German entrenched line back. The
center of the attack is to the east
of Ypres and the main strength of
the British force is believed here to
extend northward beyond Pilken.
While the British are forcing the
fighting on the extreme northwest of
the long battle line, the French are
also VerV active at the other eXtrem-.
