Russians have had at least partial ro-

This battle. however. was small

reports tonight state that some thirty

gion, where the Germans claim to
have captured some villages which the
British say they evacuated in the pro-

The rumors concerning the opera

confirmed tonight when the British
war office and admiralty issued re.

Turkish attacks. the allied forces had
taken the offensive on the Gallipol
peninsula and now were advancing
