TURKEY SEWERS RELA-
 TIONS WlT't1 BERL IN
Correspondent at Copenhagen Says In- formation Is Reliable-NO Rea- son Is Given-RepOrt Is
 Not Confirmed

London, July 29.-"The relations between Germany and Turkey have been severed, according to direct in formation from Constantinople."
 This announcement is made by the Copenhagen correspondent of the Ex- change Telegraph Company.
 While there is no confirmation of the report, rumors have been current for some time that bad feeling existed between Turkey on the one side and Bulgaria and Germany on the other, owing to the cession of the Dobrudja region of Rumania to Bulgaria.
 The excitement against Germany the advices further say, has been growing. particularly after last weeks events. The Germans recent ly demanded the cruiser Hamidieh the only large ship then in possession of Turkey, as compensation for the Breslau, the former German cruiser which was destroyed in the Darda- ACAACo WA1lC Ll0 luEklSu IldS Despite Turkeys protest the Hami- dieh has departed for Sebastopol with the German flag flying.
 Officials Not Surprised.

HUNS STILL RETREAT;
 HAVE ESCAPED TRAP
Allied Advanced Slowed but Not Yet Halted-Teut0ns Paying Heavily, With Pursuers on Their
 Heels

London, July 29.-Although the Ger mans have powerfully strengthened their battle line salient with additional fresh reserves, running across the Soissons- Rheims, and nave stuhbornly disputed further passage northWard to the entente allied troops, the enemy front has been compelled to bend back appreciably on all sides of the salient, except at thet anchor points resting immediately on Soissons and Rheims.
 South of Soissons further wedges have been driven eastward into the enemy front down to the Ourcq river. Eastward along the Ourcq French and American troops have crossed the stream at various points and advanc- ed their line well to the northward
 while southwest of Rheims the allies have debouched from the wooded sec- tors and gained the plains despite the violence of the enemy's counter-ma
 neuver. At some points the Germans ouCCCCuCu oOIuCW ndC III VACChAA6 CAO forward movement, but nowhera were they able to bring it to a standstili. Retirement Orderly.
 The retirement of the Germans still remains orderly, bus everywhere the allies troops and especially the Amer jeans near Fere-enTardenois are : pressing them hard. Particularly bit ter fighting has taken place around Fere-en-Tardenois and at Sergy, both of which towns are now well in the hands of the French and Americans.
 At Sergy the Germans paid the Amer
 jeans the compliment of reinforcing
 their battle line with two divisions

vision of spells resulting from the enforced treaty with Rumania, Ger many had incurred the ill will of both her allies.
 Following the conclusion of the peace treaty with .aumania at Jas sy, both Turkey and Bulgaria claim ed much of the territory which Ru mania had been forced to cede to her enemies Included in these claims was the title to the railway running from Adrisnople to Deadeagatch and this became the source of the great est contention between the two all lied nations. Germany for some time endeavored to induce the two lcoun- tries to settle this dispute amicabiy by suggesting that the nation which failed to obtain the railway should receive other compensation.
 Situation Complicated.
 There was doubt here whether severance of relations, even if actual ly brought about, would be perma- nent It is believed that Germany will undertake to deal sternly with Turkey and through the thousands of German agents situated throughout the country will seek to displace the Young Turks party and install some faction which can be depended upon to obey the mandates of the central powers.
 yThe Turkish army is officered al- most entirely by Germans, and while the Turkish diplomatic authori- 1 ties might sever relations with Ger many, the army would remain thor oaghly German.

 The battle line shifted back and forth and Sergy changed hands four times, but the Americans proved to be the masters of the picked enemy troops and finally drove them out and retained the village. Heavy casual ties were inflicted on the Germans.
 Fighting Is Fierce.
 The fighting in >Fere-enTardenois also was bloody. The opposing forces fought in close contract through the streets of the town, but with the Ger mans being gradually driven back un- der the machine gun and rifle fire of the French and Americans or left well tering in their blood from contact with the steel of the allied bayonets.
 Immediately south of Soissons, on the western edge of the salient, the Germans strove heroically to hold back their enemies in order to pre- vent the further flanking of Soissons and the possible cutting off of largo forces of their men fighting along the Ourcq south of Culchy-le-C Cha, teau. Scottish troops, however, cap tured positions in the outskirts Of Buzancy, just west of the Soissons- Chateau |Thierry road. while further south the French overcame resistance cr0ssed the high road, and took Granl Rozoy and Cugny and the Butte Chal- mont

If the retreat on the was is to be carried beyond the Soissons Fismes line, it seems highly probabl, that 1t is the intention of the German to mike their stand from Sois sons eastward along the Aisne to tin, Vesle river, and thence southeastwar, to Rheims.
