PANIC In CONSTANTINOPLE

seni-ofticial statement from Pet
rograd reports a new movement of
German forces in Poland. Following
the heavy concentration of German
troTps for the renewed attack on
PrZasnysz near the Prussian border,
irenforcements have been brought up
in the Pilica river region, Southwest
of Poland. Pctrograd believes, how
ever that these reinforcements are in
tended merely to hold the present
positions rather than institute another
attempt to break through the Rus
/ 81 n line toward the Polish Capital.
Concerning the great battle which
Petrograd says Is now in progress in
Northern Poland. few new details
have been received. The Russian
statement mentions a bombardment
of OsowetZ by German avlators, but
is silent as to the course of the main
engagement.
The British attack in Belgium has
brought on two vigorous counter
movements by the Germans but it Is
said in London that the ground gained
has been held. In Champagne furth-
er progress Tor the French is claimed,
although the German war office an
nounced two days ago that this battle
had been concluded.
Bulgaria Prepares
NJ Gounaris Greece's new premier
has given specific assurance to France
that the policy of his cabinet will not
be inimical to the interests of the al
lies. although the Gounaris ministry
was created as result of King Con-
stantine's opposition to the former
premier's policy of intervening in the
war on this side. \ London dispatch
states that Bulgaria, whose altitude
has beer source Of concern to Greece
is hending heavy artillery to a point
close to the Greek frontier
Constantinople is reported to be in
a state of panic as a result of the at
tack on the Dardanelles. Although IT
is presumed that the bombardment of
tho fortifications is proceeding, there
are few definite indications as to what
is being accomplished, beyond the ad-
mitted fact that the forts near the en-
trance of the straits have been dam
aged ii not destroyed.
Another German Drive
The German drive at PraZsanysz, in
Northern Poland. has carried the ad-
VanCing army within two and a half
miles of the city, the Berlin war office
announced to-day. Russian reports of
recent victories are denied and Vari-
Gus German successes are recounted.
1t is said that in two battles 1900
Russians were captured.
The German statement admits the
! capture by the British of NieuVe Cha

day. but says that attempts to gain
