TURKS FAIL TO BREAK
BRITISH Line AT ROMANI
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press
LONDON. Aug. 5.-A Turkish force
estimated al 1000 launched an at
tack against British positions near
Romani, about % miles east of the
Suez canal, on Thursday night. the
war oflice announced today. The bat
tie is continuing with great intensity
but the Turks thus far have been
unable to make any impression on
the British positions.
Romani Is a small station 81 miles
southeast Of Port Said and about
three miles from the shore OF the
Mediterranean. II lies just north Of
the caravan trail leading from Egypt
10 Syria
The battle is going along a front
Of from seven TO eight miles ex-
tending on both sides of the Syrian
caravan route.
The latest dispatches to the war
office, filed at dusk Friday said that
the Turks had made no gains against
The strongly fortified British line. The
combat was being waged over the
sands in temperature Of 100 degrees
in the shade.
On the southern flank, the British
not only repelled Turkish attacks
but captured between 400 and 500
prisoners. On the northern flank
British warships stationed in the Bay
OF Tina rendered invaluable as
sistance shelling the Turkish right
bank.
