TURKS SAW ONLY
CHANCE WITH GERMANY Y
Y. VI. c. \. Secretary From Constan-
tinOple Says People Fight For
Their Existence.

According to. d. A. Davis, general
secretary for the Y. NJ. c. A. at Con-
stantinople, the Turks entered the
European war merely because they
believed that course gave them the
only possible chance to survive as a
nation. The Turk believed. says
Davis, that If the allies should win
their nation would be partitioned
within so years, which was the period
during which the allied nations had
guaranteed the integrity of the Turk
ish empire. Their one and only
chance they believed was TO ally them
selves with Germany.
Davis spoke at a MONDAY luncheon
at the Y. NJ c. A Friday. He told
of the remarkable advances which had
been made in recent years in the i'm
proving OF conditions in the city of
Constantinople. He pointed out that
the political steps which the Turks
had taken from time to time and
which had been unpleasing 70 for
eigners were justified inasmuch as the
very life of the Turks themselves has
been at stake.
The speaker described the city as
one Of a polyglot citizenship where
each nationality kept 10 itself and
where there was no centralized gov
ernment and no public spirit. The
Y. NJ. G. A. was now thriving, he said.
and had 500 mem bers. representing Il
natiOnalities. These members include
high officials who but a few years
ago spurned all advances by Chris
tians.

GERMANS EKTRICATED
FROM PER|LOUS HOLE"
Russians Admit TeutOnS Have
Escaped From Dangerous
Positions.

PETROGRAD, March 5.-That the
German armies have succeeded in ex-
Treating themselves from a perilous
predicament along the Bobr and Me
men rivers was officially admitted
here today. The weather has again
become bitterly cold, in some sections
being 20 degrees below zero, and the
swamps and streams are frozen over
permitting the Germans to bring up
the artillery which had been held
back. Along the seven mile front
from SimmO to Sereje, west of the
second class fortress of Olita on the
Niemen, the Germans are maSSing for
an attack, apparently in an attempt TO
cross the Niemen and advance along
the railway to wilma. TO prevent the
success of this movement the Russian
reinforcements have ben hurried for
ward and are opening up a strong Of
fensive.
ON the Bobr though the Russians
have succeeded in forcing their way
across that river at Wilma, the Ger
mans have returned TO the assault
upon OssOwiec. The fall of this fort
ress an a German advance toward
Wilma would render Grodno Vulner-
able to attacks from two sides but it
is asserted in the war office that
neither of these detectives can be at
tanned b the Germans.
Maintaining their offensive in the
PrzasnysZ region, the Russians have
driven the Germans Il miles beyond
that town to the front between Mlawa.
and ChOrZele. There the Germans
have rallied and are at bay in the
trenches which they have been con-
structing for months On Wednesday
the Russians attem pied to take Mlawa
by storm, but were repulsed, though
they succeeded In taking up positions
close to the German field works.
In Galicia and BOkOWina, accord
ing to official reports from the front.
the Russian operations are proceeding
with complete success. These assert
that the capture Of St. Anislau, Ko-
lOmea and CzernOWitZ marked the
high tide OF the AUstro- German sue
cess and that the Teutonic allies are
now being steadily pressed back

SEES FAILURE Of
COMP ROM|SE PLAN
German Government Official
Says Britain Will Not Accept
u. S. Proposals to Effect Set
tIement of Bread War"

BERLIN, March 5.-"The decision
now rests with England. Germany
has shown her good faith and desire
10 protect the interests OF neutrals. If
England wants to do the same. ler
her act at once and accept the sug-
gestions made by the United States.
1t is needless 20 say that We do not
expect her TO do so.
I'VE trust to the fair minds Of Am
ericans and other neutrals 10 bring in
just verdict"
In the foregoing words high Off
cial Of the German government today
predicted the failure of the American
government TO effect a compromise
between England and Germany,
through notifications of the formers
bread war; and the latter's submar-
inc campaign. He then cited the
statement made in the British parlia-
ment yesterday by Foreign Secretary
Grey as forecasting the attitude to be
taken by England, saying:
"Sir Edward Grey served notice on
neutral nations in that statement that
England would not listen TO the Unit
ed States or any other nation unless it
Joined England in the warfare against
Germany. Is it possible for Ameri-
cans to misunderstood British mo-
tives? We do not think so.'
The Germans are inflicting severe
losses upon the British troops near
Ypres, according TO today's official
war bulletin. 1t also tells of the re-
pulse of French attacks in the Cham
pagne region, east of the Argonne for

In the eastern theater Of war the
Russians have suffered heavy losses
in their attacks upon the Germans
