Violent Drive Results in Gains
Along Coast

Violent attacks by the Germans
drove the allies from their trenches
near the Belgian coast, in the vicinity
of Newport, on the western battle
line, and resulted in the capture OF
100 French, according to the Berlin
official report.
The French admit slight reverses
but assert that the severe prevailing
in the vicinity has hindered active
fighting.
The Germans again have stormed
spur 1872" northeast of Scissors, in
what Paris describes as an import
ant attack" The result is still un
known in Paris. The French took the
hill only last Saturday, and since then
the Germans have made a determined

Warsaw and Plans Great Invasion
of GaIicia.
Reuters Telegram company in Lon
don, Eng, has received a dispatch
from its correspondent in PetrogradI
saying that an advance detachment
of the Turkish army has occupied the
Persian city of Tabriz.
This means that the Turks, who
undoubtedly had the backing of some
locality, have obtained a more or less
important base for the projected Ger
man-Turkish attack upon the Russian
positions in the province of Erivan,
north of the Persian border and south
of Tiflis.
The occupation of Tabriz, witch is
the capital OF the province of Aver.
baijan, was rendered comparatively
easy by the recent withdrawal of the
Russian forces to meet the Ottoman
advance further west. In the absence
of Russian troops it is not likely the
city offered any serious resistance.
Russia's most vulnerable point, at
which the Turks are aiming, lies
along the undefended Russo-Persian
frontier to the north of Tabriz. There
never has been any necessity to guard
this portion of the Russian boundary
against attack.
A telegram from Petrograd says
1000 persons are fleeing on foot from
the province of Azerbaijan toward the
Caucasian frontier, before the Turk
ish advance. Many of these fugitiyes
1t is said, are dying of hunger and
cold.
