IN FEW DAYS
Allies Predict Victory There With
in Short Time
BALKAN HELP NOT NEEDED
German Commander Of Turkish For
ces C'ecIares That His Troops
Can Hold Straits

London, Aug. 24-Optimistic re-
ports concerning operations on the
Gallipoli Peninsula have been in cir
culation for the last few days, and
prophesies are freely made that a
few weeks will see the close of the
allies most difficult task in the Near
East. The Turks, too, expect the
Anglo French forces to be successful.
if news reaching Sofa from CONSTANT
nople is reliable
In fact, it is felt here now that, so
far as the Dardanelles are concerned
it is a matter of indifference to the
allies whether the Balkan States
lend hand. Their assistance is
wanted, however, against Austria
and also to shorten Turkish resist
ance if the straits are opened For
these reasons negotiations with the
Near Eastern capitals are being
watched with interest, and the de
cision of Serbia on the proposals of
the Quadruple Entente for satisfying
the aspirations OF Bulgaria which will
be reached at council of Ministers
tomorrow is anxously awaited.
Turkish Headquarters on the CALI
poll Peninsula, Monday, Aug, 90, (yia
London, Wednesday, Aug. 25)-Ab-
solute confidence in the Turkish
troops and their ability to hold the
peninsula, even should other allied
reinforcements arrive, were express
sed today by the Commander of the
Fifth Army, Field Marshal Liman
Won Sanders, in an interview with the
Associated Press representative.
The German commanders remarks
We're punctuated by the crashing Of
shells exploding near at hand His
praise of the Turkish soldier was un-
stinted
bravery and frugality and physi-
cal aud mental stamina said the
Pasha, make the Turk an antagonist
really to he feared, as our enemies
have already discovered. AS result
we are able to face the future with
out misgiving even should the enemy
increase"
The Field Marshal then spoke Of
his efforts to perfect the organiza-
tion of the Turks

London, Aug. 24-The Austro-Ger-
man armies are aiming more heavy
blows at Russia in the hope of putting
her on the defensive indefinitely and
permitting the removal of some of
their own troops to other fronts, par
ticularly Serbia and Italy, in the hope
of repeating their eastern successes.
The Russians are encouraged, how
ever, by their naval victory in the
Gulf of Riga, which has delayed Field
Marshal Won FIindenburg's great out
thanking movement through Courland,
and are offering very stiff resistance
at almost every point in the Baltic
provinces

pathy if Americans lost their lives
in the sinking of the steamer Arabic
and asking that the United States de-
lay taking a definite stand in regard
to the affair until Germany could be
heard from.
This was the first word from an
official German source concerning the
Arabic on which two Americans per-
ished. Its receipt was follwed by an
evident relaxation of the tension
which has been growing here as days
passed with no indication of a desire
on Germany's part to disclaim an in
tention TO commit an act deliberate
ly unfriendly" toward the United
States No attempt was made either
to the state department or the White
House to interpret the ambassador
communication Officials merely said
that of course the American govern
ment would await the German explain
ation of tbe action or the Submarine
commander in sinking the liner.

is to obtain information Of Kennedy and
recover if possible, the lost torpedo. At
the Dodge home he soon wins the conf
dence of Elaine. Later she is warned by
little old man to be careful OF Del Mar
This warning came just in time to pre-
vent Del Mar from carrying out his plans.
Elaine gives masquerade ball. Del Mar
attends Neither he nor his domino girl
can locate the torpedo. A gray friar warns
Elaine and Jameson of Del Mars purpose,
and his plans are upset The girl enters

went off, dashing across the road into
a field in full chase after the hounds,
taking the fences and settling down
to a good half hours run over the
most beautiful country have ever
seen.
The huntsman winded his horn and
mirthful shouts of "Gone away!"
sounded in imitation of a real hunt.
Elaine was one Of the foremost. Her
hunter was one carefully trained, and
she knew all the tricks Of the game.
Somehow I got separated, at first,
from the rest and followed, until
finally I caught up, and then kept be-
hind one of the best riders.
Del Mar also got separated, but, as
1 afterward learned, by intention, for
he deliberately rode out of the course
at the first opportunity he had and let
Elaine and the rest of us pass without
seeing him.
Elaine's blood was up, but some
how, in spite of herself, she went
astray, for the hounds had distanced
the f1eetest riders and she, in an at
tempt at short cut over the country
which she thought she knew so we'll,
went a mile or so out Of the way.
She pulled up in ravine and looked
about. Intently she listened. There
was no sign of the hunt. She was
hot and tired and thirsty and, at a
loss just how to join the field again,
she took this chance to dismount and
drink from a clear stream fed by
mountain springs.
AS she did so, floating over the
peaceful woodland air came the faint
strains of the huntsman's horn, far,
far off. She looked about, straining
her eyes and ears to catch the direc-
ton of sound. Just then her horse
caught the winding of the horn. His
ears went erect, and without waiting
he instantly galloped off, leaving her.
Elaine called and ran after him, but
it was too late. She stopped and
looked dejectedly after him as he dis
appeared. Then she made her way up
the side Of the ravine, slowly.
On she climbed until, to her sur
prise, she came to the ruins Of an old

Window. "Now-get her!"

the window. "Now-get her!"
The men handspring at his alarm.
They could all see her and with one
accord dashed for the door. Elaine
sprang back and they ran as they saw
that she was warned. In genuine fear
she too ran from the window. But it
was too late.
For just then the sentry who had
taken Del Mars horse came from be-
hind the building, cutting off her re-
treat. He seized her just as the other
men ran out. Elaine stared. She
could make nothing of them. Even
Del Mar, in his goggles and breathing
mask, was unacceptable.
take her inside" he ordered dis
guising his voice. Then to the sentry
he added, Get on guard agaif and
don't let anyone through"
Elaine was hustled into the big de-
serted hallway of the hotel, just as
the tramp had been.
"You may go back to work" Del Mar
signed to the other men, who went on,
leaving one short but athletic-looking
fellow with Del Mar and Elaine.
"Lock her up, Shorty" ordered Del
Mar, "and bring the other prisoner to
me down here"
None too gently the man forced
Elaine upstairs ahead of him.
In the attic the tramp pacing up
and down, heard footsteps approach
on the stairs and enter the next room.
Quickly he ran to the doorway and
peered through the keyhole. There he
could see Elaine and the small man
enter. He locked the door to the hall,
then quickly took a step toward the
door into the tramp's room.
There was just time enough for the
tramp to see his approach. He ran
swiftly and softly over to the farther
corner and dropped down, as though
sound asleep. The key turned in the
lock and the small man entered, care
full to lock the door to Elaine's room.
He moved over to where the tramp
was feigning sleep.
Get up" he growled, kicking him.
The tramp sat up, yawning and rub
bling his eyes. Come now, be reason
