Summary of War
NeIDs of YESTERDAY


fighting which, because of its san
culinary character and the consequent
heavy losses gives that section of the
great war zones the chief place in
the war news of the day. This time
! 1t is the Turkish allies of the Teu-
tonic contenders who are said TO have
been the loser. They are declared by
Petrograd to hRye heen completely
defeated BY tle Russiaas IN the
Khori- Dilman region of the Caucasus,
leaving more than $500 dead on the
field and their survivors to be flee
| ing before the Muscovites
The full details of the defeat of
the Russians by the Austro-G German
forces along the Nida river from the
Vistula southwark through the Car
ipathians have not yet come to hand,
but Vienna declares that the Russians
lost in the operations $4,000 men
taken prisoners and Twenty-Five can
non, sixty-four machine guns and a
quantity Of war material. Petrograd
admits that the Austro German forces
have crossed the right bank of the
Dunajec, but say that desperate fight
ing continues.
Concerning the inroads OF the Ger
mans into the Baltic provinces of
Russia nothing has come through to
show that the Germans are not con
tinuing their advance through this
rich territory virtually unchallcpged
The only report of the operations in
this vicinity and this from an unof-
fetal source, says that three German
officers and thirty-nine men with one
gun and two machine guns have been
taken into Riga
In the western battle front the Ger
mans claim the capture in Flanders
of zeevecote Zonnebeke, Westhook,
the forest of Polygonous and Nonne-
bosschen and to have caught the re-
treating allies under flank fire
from their batteries to the northeast
of Ypres.
A readjustment of tho British line, |
according to the London war office,
brings the allies line to the west of
zonnebeke. This re-alignment was
due. London says, to the loss Of
ground resulting from the use Of gas
bombs by the Germans last week. All |
along the Ypres front, London de-
clares, there has been comparative |
quiet for the last twenty-four hours, |
with the exception OF slight attack |
by the Germans northeast of Ypres, |
which was beaten off.
Both Paris and Berlin reports at
tacks and countcr-attacks at various
places along the remainder Of the |
line In France, but neither max es
claim to any great advantage having |
been gained
The British admiralty asserts that |
the allies have repulsed the attacks I
of the Turks everywhere on the Gall |
ipoli peninsula, inflicting enormous
losses upon them and that the Brit
ish are now advancing into the in
terror Of the peninsula.
The Turks on the contrary say that
the advance near Avihurnu was
stopped and the British driven back
with heavy losses, to the coast.
In addition, constantinople asserts
that the British battleship Agamem- Il
non was struck by four shells and 4
forced to retire from the operations
