Constantinople, Aug. 90.-The re-
pulse of attempts by the British to adj
vance from the recent landing at Suvln
Bay, on Gallipoli Peninsula, is reported

The statement says the court held
itself guided by orders issued by
supreme command" that in consider

destined to ports regarded as fortified
ports, or as bases OF operations and

presumption Of military use obtained"
The court held that counter-proof

ton, and it would be possible TO fur

THE effect of these decisions" says
the Foreign Office, appears to be to
abolish in practice the distinction OF

offensive against the Russians on the
Zlota Lipa. has started turning move
on Lutzk and south Of vladimir
Wolynski.
As a result, this Russian rearRuard
became engaged in a stubborn fight at
Lutzk, covering a retreat of the main
forces. Experts point out that the
Poliesse region to which the Russians
are retreating does not favor the rapid
advance of the Germans. There are
thick forests, extending over an area Of
$50 miles, with swamps an. numerous
cutting streamlets, all of which
will prevent the enemy from moving on
a wide, compact front Hence only en-
gagements between separate groups
may be expected.
It Is reported from yilna that violent
cannonades from fights fifteen miles
distant are heard in the town daily.
German cavalry scouts captured by
Cossacks and brought to town have all
been found to be wearing torn clothes
and boots. They say that the GeryosN
troops expect new clothes before the
winter campaign, for which Germany
is actively preparing.
