LONDON, Aug. 25 (O:15 D. m). -
An official report issued tonight re-
garding recent operations on the
Gallipoli peninsula set at rest rumors
which have been in circulation for
several days crediting British troops
either with having cut off or out
thanked the Turkish forces opposed to
them. The report states that while
the ground gained is of great value,
the true objective has not been
reached.
In the first attacks early in the
month, the Australians and New Zea.
landers reached the summit of Sari
Bahr and ChankS Bahr, commanding
positions on the west coast of the
peninsula, but through the failure of
the new landing party at Suvla bay
to make the progress expected, the
colonials were compelled to fall back
Another attack was made last Satur-
day, but on this occasion, having lost
the advantage of surprise. the British
could not reach the summit and were
compelled to retire again.
The report admits heavy British
losses, but adds that those of the
Turks must have been heavier.
Altogether, the British hold front
of IL miles along the west side of the
peninsula and at some points have
penetrated considerable distance
into the interior. The Turks are max
ing very stubborn defense of their
positions, but the allies have conf
dence that with the strong forces at
their command and the assistance OF
the fleet, the Dardanelles will be
forced before the arrival of the un
favorable weather which is due to
wards the end of September
Weather conditions also are playing
part in the operations on the east
ern front. 1t is reported that the
roads in Courland are softening al
ready as the result of continued rains
and that the Germans are finding i,
more difficult to move forward thei1
artillery.
They are still trying, however, to
force back the Russians who are hold
ing the line between the Rivers Asa
and Dvina and claim to have beer
successful at one point at least.

SITUATION NOT CLEAR.

BERLIN, Aug. 25. Via Londom -
While the situation regarding the case

indications were noticeable today of
a belief that moderate amount of
optimism regarding the case is well
justified and that way will be found
out of the ENHANCEMENT, even should
it be established that the steamer was
torpedoed without warning, an as
sumption which the German govern
ment has as yet, in the lack of any
official report on the subject no reas-
on to accept.
The newspapers and the public
seem hardly to have awakened to the
nature of the situation and between

Roosevelt and William j. Bryan,

lightment regarding the real state of
American public opinion.
