mittee Decides on War

London, Oct. 5.-Slowly the Russians
are sweeping the Turks out Of the last
bit Of territory they occupy in Turkish
Armenia. The Cars offensive is now
being concentrated against the enemy's
lines in the region west and southwest
Of Trebizond. Here the Ottoman troops
are being forced back toward the Kars-
hut River where it runs through Ar
dasa, about forty miles southwest of
the Black Sea port.
The reclamation of all Armenia from
the grip Of the Turks and the restora-
ton Of civilized conditions in the con-
quered lands now is virtually accom-
pllshed. II is expected that following
the evacuation by the Turks Of Armenia
the forces OF the Grand Duke Nicholas
will renew their offensive west OF Err
zingan, with the object Of bringing the
cities and provinces of Sivas and An
CORA under Russian rule.
In Persia the Russians have been les,

BY CRASH IN FOG
British Craft Rammed by
Bay Liner City of Norfolk
in Hampton Roads.

Norfolk. Va, Oct s.-The British
steamer Hawkhesd, at anchor In
Hampton Roads, of Sewall's Point, was
run down and sunk about s o'clock TO-
night by the Chesapeake Steamship
Company Bay Line steamer City OF
Norfolk. outward bound from this port

The City Of Norfolk was badly dam
aged about the bow. but there WAS no
loss Of life. so far as known. The
collision occurred during a heavy fog.
Captain Hand and the crew Of the
Hawkhead were taken of by small boats
lowered by the City Of Norfolk, the
river steamer Pocahontas and other
craft which were passing. Fifteen min
utes after being struck the British ship
had settled on the bottom in thirty
feet OF water.
Most of the one hundred passengers
on the City Of Norfolk were az dinner
when the crash came. There was great
excitement for few minutes. but the
officers soon restored order. The Poca-
hontss came alongside the City Of Nor
folk and the passengers were trans
ferred to the river craft, but they re-
NAMED there only short time, being
put aboard a bay liner of the Baltimore
Steam Packet Company, which took
most Of them 20 Baltimore. About tif-
teen passengers elected TO return to

"COMPLETE MASTERY"
CLAIMED BY BERLIN
Asserts Counter Attacks
Drove Russians from
Conquered Ground.

London, Oct. s.-The smashing tao
tics Of Ruzsky and Brussilof are slow
ly winning successes against the leu
tonic armies in Galicia that could be
obtained in no other way. All reports
from the front indicate that the Cars
commanders have abandoned the idea
OF beating tho enemy by any other
means than that of overwhelming force.
Local operations. raids by small de-
tachments and surprise assaults have
all given way TO furious attacks on a
great scale and along a wide front.
The prodigal use Of shell and the al
most reckless sacrifice Of human lives
is forging the new sword.
Petrograd sums up the operations in
the region from which the Cars
troops are striking their hardest blows
at Lemberg's defences as follows:
IN the region south of Brzezany
our troops captured some enemy posi-
tons and afterward repealed several
counter attacks by German-Turkish
troops"
Nowhere on the arc OF steel that
hedges in the Galician capital have the
Russians a better chance to deal a
telling blow than here. Only in one
sector are they as near to their objec-
tive. Forty miles separates the Zlota
Lipa below Brzezany from Lemberg.
The fall of the town-snd the capt
rre Of the whole Zlots Lips line. which
would be the immediate sequel-would
compel the retirement of Won Bothmer's
army almost TO the outskirts of Lem
berg. II is because of the Importance
OF the Zlota Lipa line TO the defence
Of Lemberg that the Russians are con-
centrating their energy against II
north and south.

Mr.. Redmond also declared that con-
scription could never be forced upon
Ireland. and added:
Il cannot bring myself TO believe
that, malign though the influences at

Ireland on this subject. Consumption

ring round the world. II would pros

Continuing, the Irish Parliamentary
leader said:
THE mere threat is paralvzing re-
cruiting, which, mark you. is not dead,
as some people say. The latest figures,
indeed, show that from the date of the
rising Easter Sunday until Septem-
Der 5000 recruits were received
This demand for conscription is not
a genuine military demand. It is a
base political device put forward by
men who want 20 injure and discredit
Ireland's political future and revive by
any and every means bad blood be-
tween the two countries in the wicked
hope that when the war is over the
British people may tolerate some at

"On these lines the government may
succeed in recruiting even after all that

false that he or his colleagues ever

manent division of the ancient nation.

act is on the statute book. The act
which suspends its operation provides

fore the war ends then il comes into
operation automatically at the end Of
the war Nothing has altered nor can
alter that unless it be a new act Of
Parliament.

Mr.. Redmond said that the present
situation was the most trying crisis in
his recollection and that q bad blow
was struck at Ireland by the uprising.
"All through our history" he con-
tinued, some malign influence has
seemed ever at hand, just on the eve

perate engagements are Gin progress.
Assaults have continued in this sector
for as long as thirty-six and forty
eight hours.
Sixty thousand shells were fired By
the Russian guns in one small sector
of this front last week. Captured Ger
mans, who had served on the Somme
front, asserted that the ferocity Of the
Russian cannonade had never been
surpassed. Like the German defences
in Picardy, those in Galicia which have
borne the brunt of the attack in the
last few days are mass Of ruins.

in the opinion of military observers
here that mastery will soon be broken.
