SUBMARINES.
CoNsTANTINoPLE CUT OFF
German Destroyer, Turk Steamer and
Two Ottoman Transports Are Sent
to Bottom by British Undersea Yes
sells Say British Admiralty Reports.

London, Aug. 4.-Great Britain and
France have started to carry the sub
marine war to Germany. From the
Dardanelles to the North sea the al
lies undersea craft have opened a
campaign against the Germans and
Turks which already has cut Constan-
tinople off from Asia, thrown the city
into terror and sunk a German tor
pedo-boat destroyer. a 3,000-ton Turk
ish steamer and two Turkish trans
ports.
One French and a second British
submarine, according to official an
nouncements on Monday, augmented
by press dispatches, succeeded in
forcing the Dardanelles and dashing
past Constantinople into the Sea OF
Marmora. Within sight of the Turk
ish capital the submarines shelled and
blew up the Galata bridge across the
Golden Horn, connecting Constantine
pie with Asiatic Turkey, according to
a dispatch to the Times from Mitylene.
To add to the terror of the Turks
the British submarine then stole ineO
the harbor and almost under the walls
of the Top-Kaneh arsenal in Constan-
tinople, where it sent a torpedo into a
transport and sent it to the bottom.
The craft followed this by sinking an
other transport in Karabogha bay.
According to dispatches from Mu-
dros this exploit threw the entire
Turkish capital into terror.
The feat of the British submarine,
rs announced by the admiralty, has
added another exploit to the annals OF
warfare by bombarding shore posi-
tons with torpedoes. Turkish powder
mills and the railway of Kara Barnu,
along the Sea of Marmora, were at
tackled.
Another admiralty statement says:
"A British submarine has returned
and reports the sinking of a German
torpedo-boat destroyer, believed to be
of the G-196 class. on July &c, near the
German coast"

disnatches received here, close
ANALYSIS of the situation is basis for
tbo belief that hundreds of thousands
os the army of Grand Duke Nicholas
NAV be trapped in the great triangle
between Ivangorod, Novo 1eorgievsk
and Brest-Litovsk.
The latter fortress, the greatest of
the great defenses of Poland, is the
goal of the fleeing Russians, lis miles
east of Warsaw, and with the capture
of the Lublin-Cholm railway by the
Teutons there is but one line between
Warsaw and Brest-Litovsk for the
TRANSFORMATION of hundreds of thou
sands of men, incalculable amounts of
munitions and vast quantities of sup
plies from the abandoned fprtresses
and the city of Warsaw, in which the
Slavs are evidently determined to
leave not so much as brass tack
which might be of use to the inva-
ders when the city is occupied.
The German official statement says
95,O23 Russians, Al guns and ESQ ma
chine guns were captured in July be-
tween the Baltic and the Pilica.
The official statement also an
nounces an advance past Cholm, on
the Lublin-Cholm railway, and just
west of the Bug, which the Russ are
expecting to make their next deter
mined stand if Poland is evacuated.
1t is apparent that all hopes of the
Russians lie in the safe transporta-
ton of their armies and munitions to
Brest-Litovsk.
Berlin, Aug. 2 wireless via Say
ville).-This mornings papers an
nounce the reduction of Lublin by
the Austrian cavalry forces which
definitely interrupts Russian railway
communications between Warsaw,
Ivangorod and Brest-Litovsk, leaving
open only the direct line of Siedwez.
Evidently the evacuation of War
saw has already begun. This is con-
tirmed by reports from Russia to Eng
land France and neutral countries.
The Geneva Tribune publishes
dispatch from it's Innsbruck CORE
spondent that the capture of Lublin
cost General Woyrsch 10000 men in
killed, wounded and captured. The
correspondent adds that in an advance
of seven miles with seven army corps
Field Marshal Won Mackensen lost 3d.
600 men.
According to the same dispatch the
Russians killed 5000, wounded 5000
and captured 1900 of the Eighth Ger
man army corps south of Przasnysz.
