London.-Movement overshadowing
in importance even the operations in
Poland are being made in the Balkan
theater of war.
British operations against the Oar
danelles and Austro-German threats
against Serbia are beginning to evolve
themselves into race for the support
of the Balkan States.
The Balkan situation at present
dominates all others in all the capitals
of Europe.
Everything points to a vigorous Of
fensive by the Austro-Ge Germans against
Serbia at an early date with the object
of crushing the Serbian army in order
to force Bulgaria to give free passage
to Teuton forces needed for the relief
of Constantinople.
Leading critics in Italy and France
consider this plan of the German gen
eral staff very serious. Should it sue
coed it would involve the complete
failure of the Allies efforts at the
Dardanelles and the final immobiliza-
ton of the Balkan States, whose CO.
operation is now sought by the
quadruple entente.
The Allies Hope.
No great hope is entertained that
the Allies will succeed in inducing the
Balkan States to intervene on their
side but it is hoped that they will re-
main neutral
In order to defeat the Germans at
their own plan the Allies on Gallipoli
have commenced tremendous often
sive against the Turks in desperate
effort to smash the Dardanelles de-
lenses and reach Constantinople be-
fore Germany can throw an army
through Servia. More than $4,000
fresh troops have been landed on Gal
lipoli within the last week and their
appearance has heralded violent
drive on the entire front.
Still more reinforcements, both
French and British, are semi-oficially
reported en- route for the Straits.
Intense naval activity is evident in
cooperation with the land attacks of
the Allies. Unofficial dispatches con-
tinue to report the torpedoing of the
Turkish cruiser Goeben (renamed Sui
tan Selim after her purchase from Ger
many by Turkey by a British sub
marine which penetrated into the
Black Sea.
Demands for the opening Of a path
to Turkey are being voiced in Berlin
and proclamations that Germany is
preparing to send an army to aid the
Turks are being spread broadcast in
Constantinople, according to the latest
advices.

Rome, via Paris.-The effectiveness
of Italian Alpine troops in repulsing
two Austrian attempts to cross the
frontier through passes of the Alps
at an altitude of 1000 feet is praised
by the Italian War Office in the Off
cial statement The announcement
says;
"In the steep, rugged zone of the
Furva Valley the enemy, who, on the
4th had reconnoitered by patrols.
which were Immediately driven back
through the Vicz Pass 10000 feet
high, delivered an attack on the night
of the 9th across the Forno Glacier
against our troops posted near the no
tel of the same name, while another
detachment advanced through the
Gedevale Pass (11,000 feet) against
those of our troops who occupied
Capanna Cedese.
The watchfulness of our Alpine
troops, who, notwithstanding glaciers
and high peaks, are necessarily active,
succeeded in frustrating this bold dou-
BILE maneuver, and the enemy was
soon repulsed. He was then counter
attacked and forced to fee.
"In Galore small encounters turning
in our favor are reported in the high
valleys of Ansier and Visdende. In
one of these fights we took prisoner
80 light infantrymen.
isolated infantry and artillery ac-
tons also took place in Carnia, in the
Valley of the Torrent of Fontebbana.
An Austrian detachment trying to
climb the Italian slope was attached
and put to flight"
Got Five Miles Into Italy.
Brescia, Italy, via Paris.-The ex-
plot of Austrian troops called for au-
dacity and endurance which Italians
concede rival feats of their own Alpine
soldiers, of whom they are so proud.
The Austrian mountaineers succeeded
in penetrating Italian territory for
some distance before they were driven
back.
The Austrians made their advance
through the Furva Valley. They were
obliged to cross granite mountains H.
600 feet high, covered with snow. They
also made their way over the Forno
Glacier, the largest of so in that
region, being eight miles wide.
After surrounding these difficulties
the Austrians succeeded in penetrating
nve miles beyond the border, but when
detected and attacked by Italian troops
were forced to fall back

London.-The commencement OF
new and greater efforts to force the
Dardanelles and thus bring succor to
the Russians, and at the same time to
influence the Balkan States, is the
latest feature of the war news.
The renewed attempt against the
Turkish positions, which apparently is
in full swing. seems to be concerted
one. Attacks are being made at the
tip Of the peninsula, along the Krithia
road. where a gain of 200 yards on
front of 300 yards has been made, and
at Sari Bair. where an important crest
has been occupied. according to Gen.
Sir Ian Hamilton, commander-in-chief
of the British forces.
Elsewhere, General Hamilton's
report continues, "a fresh landing has
been successfully effected and con-
siderable progress made"
This landing evidently was sur
prise to the Turks, as $50 prisoners,
number of guns and quantity of ma
terial are declared to have been taken
by the British forces.
Italy To Lend Hand.
The forcing of the Dardanelles 10
realized by the military critics here to
be of the greatest Importance, for they
assert that it is the only way that the
Allies can render immediate aid to
Russia and repay her for the great
sacrifices she has made for the COM
mon cause. In addition, it is believed
by the military observers that sue
cess here would bring the Balkan
States definitely over to the side of
the Quadruple Entente powers in the
war. Italy is understood to be pre-
pared to lend hand in the Darda-
nelles operations.
