CHASE OF RUSSIANS
Continued from Page One)

move toward a great offensive in the
west and the threatened Austrian attack
against Serbia has consisted mainly of
long distance artillery engagements.
The artillery has been the chief mode
of warfare on the western line. The
most activity has been displayed here by
the guns Of the Allies. which have been
Smelling virtually the entire German line.
In addition the Allies have been using
their aircraft in large squadrons to
lombard German barracks and positions.
Allies Near Action
1t is being vaguely limited here that
mid-October has been chosen as the time
for the long postponed big push of the
Allies. but the point at which an attack
is to take place is not being mentioned.
The general public does not expect a
strong offensive movement as yet. but in
some circles there would be no surprise
should Gen. Joffre. the French COM
mander-in-chief, find it possible to at
tempt some kind of a forward movement
before mid-October.
There has been more heavy fighting
on the Gallipol peninsula, according to
the Turkish official report This claims
that the Allies suffered heavily in a Sc
ries of attacks attempted by them last
Friday. Neither the Paris nor London
war offices have made any mention of
these engagements.

A fleet of scout cruisers.
ga feet of 100 aeroplanes and an avia-

has given the Germans such a great adj
vantage in the present war.
IA large store Of mines for the de-
fence of our harbors.
s-More men for the navy. Today the
complement is 1900 short.

SCENES WHEN
ENGLISH SOLDIERS
RELIEVE THE FRENCH
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
British Army Headquarters in
France, Aug. 11.-Triumphal arches
we're erected by the French soldiers
to welcome their successors when the
British took over a section OF the line
from the French a while ago. An oc-
casional sniper's bullet and the occa-
sional burst of shell accompanied the
informal ceremony.
1.-THE peculiar thing is that the
French do not like to co." said staff
officer. They have spent months in
building up their trenches to make
them comfortable and as secure from
the enemy's fire as possible. They are
proud of their trenches. In a sense
they feel that the results of their la
Dor belong to them. Besides they
have got settled in the associations of
the villages to the rear where they are
billeted. They know all the local peo-
Pile"
Strictly speaking all that happens is
that a British battalion marches in
and French battal ion marches out
after the officers Of the incoming bat
TALON have spent day or two in the
trenches familiarizing themselves with
details. But to the men of both sides
it is great event.
Though the British and the French
are allies the soldiers of the two armies
rarely meet. Each is on his own side
of the line which bounds the zone of
the two armies.
Probably not one out Of so :French
soldiers speaks much English" said an
officer, land certainly not one out of
so British soldiers speaks much
French. Yet in five minutes they are
talking together-and some way or
other they make one another under
stand"
What interests them most is the
comparison of equipment. They must
try the mechanism of each others
rifles. The Briton must try on the
new French steel helmet which the
Frenchmen wear to protect their heads
from shrapnel bullets and splinters.
After the helmets he must examine the
French knives which the French use
at the close quarters in trench fight
ing when the bayonet is unwieldy; and
after that comes a comparison of
bombs and bomb throwing methods.
Gestures serve pretty well for this kind
of a conversation.
Meanwhile every bit of school book
French and English is in play in the
midst of laughter. The outgoing SOL
der expatiates on his "dug-out" and
how comfortable he has tried to make
it.; and the new conner is properly
complimentary in this diplomatic in
terchange between the men in khaki
and blue.
When the French go they say Good
bye" and the British try their hands
at "au revoir."
"'There is certainly one thing our
soldiers can learn from the French"
said a British officer. Though a
Frenchman has never done any cook
ing before he soon learns how to make
an appetizing stew. Our men are do
ing better. Camp life is a good teach
err"

Military Law
In Turkey Is
ToBeRespected

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Constantinople, Aug. at Is well
these days in Turkey to heed the law
especially military law. Europeans
who have lived in Turkey long either
fear or respect Turkish law and court
procedure. Most Of them feared 1t IN
the past and fear it today. because the
abolition of the capitulations has made
foreigners amenable to the Turkish law
and courts, and neither Of them are
things to be trifled with.
AS as example Of what Turkish mill
tary law is the following should sunce.
The Hilal Of the 18th inst, contains
this laconic account:
Sentence of the commandane OF
Constantinople. The condemned:
"Person named Serkiz, censor in the
postoffice Of Galata, to three years i'm
prisonment and removal from office.
fer having distracted bank notes from
letters given him to censor.
Unclaimed Izzet, tailor at Kara
Ghumruck, to one month imprison-
ment; Terofik. empioye Of the Yildiz
Hospital, to two months imprison-
ment; and Kangrili Rashid. of kadi-
keuy, to 80 lashes: for having molested
women on a public thoroughfare.
"Christo, boatman at Prinkipo and
Panayi son Of Christie. Of Marmaris.
to eight months and 90 days imprison-
ment: for having thrown anchor in
prescribed zone without special per-
nit.
"Hassan, son of Hannein, employe
of a factory at Abati: to three years
Imprisonment; Sava merchant or
leather at Okdjiler- Bachi, to two years
Imprisonment, and Spiro of YaloVa,
hairdresser at Prinkipo, to six months
Imprisonment and so pounds fine for
having alarmed public opinion with un-
founded news
johannes, merchant tailor at Guedik
Pacha, to three years imprisonment
and so pounds fine, for having in his
possession shoddy and making use
thereof.
"Yani Aspani. baker at Kapali For
noun, to six months Imprisonment, for
having mixed bran into his bread.
"Kapiopi and Marriage, of the village
of Tchante in Silivri. to six months
Imprisonment. for having made diff
ficulties for the police" For the same
reason were condemned to three
months imprisonment Andon and his
wife Zafritche and one Arite.
"Hassan. son Of Akif. Of Tchenguel-
keuy, to six months imprisonment for
having accosted ladies.
"Aris, son Of Karabet. a restaurant
keeper at Cessaree. to eight months
and 20 days Imprisonment, for having
entered upon a prescribed zone.
'Husrev, a Bechitache, a painter, to
six months Imprisonment, and Nesime
daughter of Mehmed Ali to three
months imprisonment, for having out
ragged public morals. Fines were also
imposed.
"Novi, daughter of Kirkor. residing
at Ismid, to eight months and twenty
days Imprisonment. for having placed
a letter into a package for delivery by

"Onnik. fireman at Kadikeuy. to
two years imprisonment; Panayot.
shoemaker, to As days imprisonment,
for having while drunk, insulted the
police. Onnik was fined so pounds
Turkish besides"
While some Of the sentences seem I'M
duly severe, Turk and non-Turk suf-
fer alike.
