terry before retiring.
A few days later, while landing op-
erations were proceeding, the Tri-
umph, with other warships, iii addi-
ton to covering the landing, lombard
ed the forts in the Dardanelles to pre-
vent reinforcements reaching the
Turks from the Sea of Marmora The
Triumph was credited in the official
reports with having set fire to the
town of Maidos during this lombard
ment.
The Triumph, which was command
ed by Captain Maurice f. Fitzmaurice,
was a vessel of H. ,9S5 tons and of l2,-
500 horsepower. Her crew of Off
GERS and men in times of peace num-
bered about 700 men. The vessel car
ried four 10-inch, fourteen 7.5-inoE
guns and fourteen 14-pounders and
four 6-pounders. In addition she car
ried two 18-inch torpedo tubes.
The Triumph was 436 feet long and
had speed of about 20 knots.
With the sinking of the Triumph five
allied battleships have been accounted
for in the Dardanelles by Turkish gun
fire, mines or torpedoes. OF these
losses, the British have sustained four
the Triumph, Ocean, Irresistible and
Goliath. One French ship has been
sunk-the Bouvet. In addition, several
other allied battleships have at various
times been struck by Turkish shells
and forced to retire from the flght;ng
IN the water way.

GERMAN ATTACK
UNPARALLELED

LONDON, May 27.-(3:25 a. m.)-
The Times Petrograd correspondent
says the Russian military observers
consider Przemysl at the present time
quite safe and think there Is no rea-
son to apprehend the development
and blockade of the fortress.
The Times correspondent with the
Russian forces, in a dispatch, dated at
Ivangorod, gives description of the
Russian retreat from the Donajec to
the River San.
"The German attack on the Donajec
was unparalleled in history" says the
"Their batteries were
massed first in tiers of field guns, then
in howitZers and then in the heaviest
of mobile artillery, which, by torrent
of uninterrupted shell fire. destroyed
the Russian center. But in spite of
the fury of the attacks, the Russians
retired undemoralized and when the
San was reached the gap was closed,
the armies were stiffened by reserves,
and the Austro German onslaught was
stayed. The Russian retreat as a
maneuver will rank equal to the retreat
from Mons.
.The German check on the San ap-
pears to have been due to the impos-
sibility of supplying ammunition fast
enough. the rapidity of the Russian
retirement compelling an unexpected
rapid strengthening of the enemy's
lines of communication. At the same
time German strength, courage and
persistence must not be minimized.
Past experience indicates their capa-
city to keep coming on with appar-
emily undiminished ardor"

The battleship Triumph was built at
Barrow in 1902 for the Chilean gov
ernment, but was purchased by Great
Britain in 1909 She was laid down
under the name of I.ibertad and was
a sister ship of the Constitution, which
also was purchased from Chile and
rechristened Swiftsure.
Since the present war broke out the
Triumph has been operating in both
far eastern and European waters. AS
flagship OF the British Asiatic squad
ron she participated in the gombard-
ment Of the German base of Using
Tau, China, last October, and was re-
ported to have been damaged by the
shell fire of the German forts.
After the fall of Using Tau the Tri-
umph returned to European water and
early in the present year began oper-
ations with the other units of the al
lied fleet against the Dardanelles. In
the latter part of April the Triumph
bombarded the Turkish trenches on
the western end of the Gallipoli pen
insula and afterward went into the
Dardanelles to search the trenches
from a different angle. Here she
came under the fire of Turkish
Howitzer battery on the Asiatic shore,
which dropped is shells around her
and threw three missiles on board. Lit.
tie damage was done by the shells,
however, and only two men, stoker
and a bluejacket, were wounded. The
battleship silenced the Turkish bat

LONDON, May 26-A Although called
upon to face another enemy in Italy,
whose troops have crossed the eastern
border, the Austrians and Germans
have not relaxed their efforts on the
other fronts.
In Middle Galicia they have assumed
the offensive against the Russians
along the River San and claim to have
met with further success. while in
Flanders and Artois the Germans con
tinue. according to the French report,
to make furious attacks in an effort
to regain the ground taken from them
In recent weeks and to hold that which
they took from the British in the re-
gion of Ypres.
Except for the German admission
that the British have captured part Of
their trenches to the northeast OF
Givenchy, the reports Of the belliger-
ent headquarters continue to contra
dict each other, one side claiming
gains, while the other says that all at
tacks were repulsed with heavy losses
So far as the west is concerned
however, the fighting as has been the
case for months, consists largely OF
trench warfare.
The Italians, who have crossed the
Austrian frontier toward the Isonzo
river, have not yet met with any seri-
GUS opposition, In fact, no important
battle is expected until the invaders
reach the river, as 1t Is here that the
Austrians are established.
In Greece, the illness of King Con-
stantine. whose condition remains seri-
Gus, has brought the political situation
to standstill. and 1t is regarded as
unlikely that there will be any develop
ments until after the pending elections.
The alleged torpedoing of the Ameri-
can steamship Nebraskan is featured
by all the London papers, which de
scribe the incident as another chal-
lenge to America"
