constantinopIe and Berlin Are

Washington Officials Declare That Ol.

! Treaty With Roumania Prob
/ ably Caused Rupture.

London July 3O.-"According to d.
rect information from Constantinople,
the relations between Germany and
Turkey have been severed"
This announcement is made by the
Copenhagen correspondent of the Ex-
change Telegraph company.
The excitement against Germany,
the advices further say, has been
growing, particularly after last weeks
events -
The Germans recently demanded
the cruiser Hamidieh, the only large
ship then in possession of Turkey, as
compensation for the, Breslau, the
former German cruiser which was de-
stroyed in the Dardanelles while I'M
der the Turkish flag. Despite Tur-
keys protest the Hamidieh has de-
parted for Sebastopol with the Ger
man flag flying.
Washington, July 30.-While no off,
cial notice of the breach of relations
between Turkey and Germany-or
rather the Teuton powers, for without
doubt Austria is involved with Ger
many in the dispute with the Ottoman
government-has reached Washington,
officials expressed little surprise at
the dispatch saying Germany and Tur-
key had severed relations. In off,
cial circles here it has been realized
that in her efforts't to serve Turkey and
Bulgaria in the division Of spoils re-
sulting from the enforced treaty with
Roumania, Germany had incurred the
ul-will of both her allies.
Following the conclusion of the
peace treaty with Roumania at Jassy,
both Turkey a:d Bulgaria laid claim
TO much of the territory Roumania
had been forced to cede to her enc
niles. Included in these claims was
title to the railway running from
Adrianople to- Deadeagatch and this
became the source Of the greatest con-
tention between the two allied na-
lions.
Germany Accused Of Favorltism.
Germany for some time endeavored
to induce the two countries to settle
this dispute amicably by suggesting
the nation which failed to obtain the
railway should receive other compen-
satiOn. -..-, a. ,, ,.sr
Belief in Turkey that favoritism was
being shown Bulgaria by Germany in
the negotiations, according to recent
dispatches received here, caused a

Turkey Weary Of War.
That Turkey has become more and
more weary of the war was indicated
In the failure of the latest Turkish
loan In June. According to Swiss dis
patches only $6O,OOO,0O0 was obtained
out of $160,00O,000 sought.

House Receives Suggestion in Favor
able Mood, but Mr.. Asquith Argues
That American President Is Too
Busy to Undertake Task.

London, July 3O-In the House OF
Commons the debate on the Irish
question terminated in the defeat OF
the Irish adherents.
The motion Of John Dillon, the Ma
tionalist leader. condemn1ng the gov
ernment's Irish policy was rejected by
a vote of PAS to 106
Mr.. Dillon proposed that the ques'
ton of Ireland be referred to Presi'
dent Wilson. This suggestion was
we'll received by the House, but as
former Premier Asquith pointed out.
it could not be expected the President
of the United States could undertake.
such an arduous task now and the
matter was obviously one the British
people would have to settle.
Asquith Appeals for Decision.
The Irish question was one of over
whelming Importance, Mr.. Asquith de
clared and he made a strong appeal
to the government to make another ef-
fort, even at the eleventh hour, to set
tie it.
Regarding the suggestion made by
Mr. Dillon that the Irish question be
referred to President Wilson, Mr.. As
quith said:
HE would be a very bold man who
would expect Mr.. Wilson to undertake
q task which has baffled so many pi-
oneers in the past. If it could not be
referred to members of our own fam
lily it does not seem that question
Of that kind could be we'll submitted
to the arbitrament of a foreign coun-
try, however friendly"
Wilson's Principles Basis.
Introducing his resolution, which ex-
presses the view that the true solu-
ton of the Irish question is to put into
operation without delay in regard to
Ireland the principles laid down by
President WILSON,
Mr., Dillon admitted that the Ma
tionalist party was in difficulty, but,
he added, I'VE are because we have
struggled to save the constitutional
honor and bring Ireland into the war,
while the government has done every.
thing In its power to drive her out Of
the war;"
The Nationalist leader declared the
question of Ireland was war question
and that was why he brought it up at
the present time. How could Great
Britain, he asked, put before the world
as one of her objects of the war the
freeing Of small nationalities when
! there was Ireland lying at her back
door under the unhappy tyranny OF
military government"

Minneapolis, July 30.-That the

Retreat 10 General.
London, July 30.-North of tho
Marne the tide of German invasion
is fast ebbing. The fact that a gen.
eral retreat in this region is going on
Is not questioned, and the only ques-
ton of moment to be cleared up is
the location of the position at which
the enemy will turn at bay. Since
Saturday there have been important
changes in the battleline between
Scissors and Rheims. Today u runs
almost directly east from Oulchy le
Chateau to Fere en- Tardenois, then
across the Ourcq and continues east

experts that the Germans might elect
to stand on the line Of the OurcQ
river from which their heavy cannon
might dominate the Paris Chalons
railway along the Marine. This idea Is
now proved erroneous. 1t appears
that there is no defensive position
south Of the Vesle river to which the
Germans can retire and organize their
resistance to allied pressure.
The only other defensive position
seemingly possibleeis the one that fol-
lows the Aisne and Vesle from Sois.
sons to Fismes, and from that point
follows the course Of the Arvre river
toward Rheims. Burning villages
along the Aisne and Vesle from Sois.
sons to Bazoches are reported and
tend to confirm the impression that
the Germans do not contemplate or.
ganized resistance south of that line.
Succeeds In Eudino Trap.
There is every indication that the
German high command has succeeded
in extricating its forces from the trap
sprung by General Foch., The resist
ance Of the Germans for week after
the beginning Of the Allied counter
offensive probably gave them time to
withdraw their heavier guns and .
large portion Of their supplies from
the salient. This resistance was
strong along the line south Of scissors
as far as Oulchy-le-Ville and west and
southwest Of Rheims, which we're the
vital sectors of the battle line.
The advance of the Allies east Of
Oulchy le Chateau must soon compel
the enemy to evacuate the line from
the Ourcq river toward scissors for
considerable distance. Nearer
Rheims, however, the Germans seem
to hold positions that will prove a
pivot for their retreat toward the
Vesle river.

 Thousands of men are now in mill tary service, abnormal taxes have in- creased the cost of beverages, help is hard to get and no inconsiderable part of the former saloon trade has van- ished because of the prices retail deal- CTS are compelled to charge for drinks.
