Germans Retreat From Yser The German navy scored another decided victory oVer the British when 9ve German warships met and defeat ed four British cruisers off the coast Df Chile.. Two of the British cruisers were sunk, one was badly damaged and another is missing. This makes eleven fighting vessels the British have lost since the war began. In the North sea the German submarines succeeded in sinking seven British :ruisers at various times. Intent upon losing no time In giv ing Turkey a taste of war a combined Eleet of British and French warships iiurled shells upon the Turkish forts in the Dardanelles. The exact amount rf damage done is not known. Servia :)as declared war against Turkey. The fortified town of Akabah, in Arabia, 3n an arm of the Red sea, was shelled by a British cruiser and later occu pied by British marines. At the eleventh hour an attempt was nade by Turkey to offer apologies to Russia for the bombardment of the :wo Russian ports and thereby avert war with the allied nations. This ipology came in reply to the note sent rurkey by the allies demanding re prisal for the bombardment of the Russian towns and the dismissal of ill German officers now with the Turk, sh army and navy. The Turksj steadfastly refuse to dis miss the German officers In their army md navy and.for this reason it is be ieved that Turkey will become engag ;d in the European war. Efforts have jeen made by the conservative party )f Turkey to avert war and it is said ;liat it was through their efforts thai ;he note of apology -was sent to Russia, rhe young Turks, however, insist upon var and are already making prepara at? ,iuus iui uie uuuupauuu ui ni&ypu Much significance is attached to the iction on the part of Turkey as it is relieved that if Turkey declares war t will eventually draw other nations, iow at peace, into the conflict. Greece, t is thought, will be sure to take issue vith the allies and wage a relentless var against their old enemy?Turkey. :taly, Roumania and Bulgaria may also send their armies into the field. Of hese three, Italy and Roumania are jxpected to join the allies. After a rest of several days the jreat masses of troops of the allied md German armies assembled along he Yser river have resumed fighting, rhe Germans, it is said, have been re nforced and will make another des jerate attempt to capture the French leaports. Another British cruiser has )een sent to the bottom of the sea by i German submarine. This time the ittack was made in the Straits of Do rer. England is greatly stirred over ne incident as tne presence or uer rian submarines in the straits will jreatly endanger th movement of the ihips between England and France. A retaliation on the Germans for heir activities in dropping bombs up >n Paris and other French towns were risited upon the Germans by the ^ench. A bevy of French airmen lew over the German positions near Dunkirk, dropping bombs upon the rerman army headquarters, forcing he officers to flee' to the woods. Jombs were then dropped into the rees in the woods. It is not known vhether any German officers were ;illed. One of the saddest spectacles of the var is the plight of the Belgian na ion. The little army of Belgium has leen driven entirely from its native leath and is now fighting in the ranks if the allies in France. Holland and ingland is overcrowded with starv Qg, homeless Belgians who have fled rom their devastated country. All lossible aid is being rendered these mfortunate people by England and lolland. King Albert of Belgium has ent an appeal to the people of the Jnlted States asking for food and lothing for his people.

A combination of inundated ountry, the remnant of the Belgian rmy -under King Albert, and the ac vity of the British warships, seem lgly, all contributed toward ending ie costly struggle. A Berlin official report attributes ie failure of the Germans entirely ) the flooded state of the country, 'here the water in places is over a ian's head; but it declares that Em eror William's army withdrew in ood order and without losses. After nearly three weeks of des erate fighting the brunt of the at ick has shifted to the Ypres region, here the English army of Field Mar lal Sir John French, reinforced by idians and territorials, apparently iust meet another onslaught.

Salisbury, England.?Members of e Canadian contingent are anything | it happy in their camps on the lonely j ilisbury plains. They find the dis- i nces to the inhabited part of the f untry is as great as at the Valcartier nip, and the parsimony of their coin mders in granting leave has added their discontent. Englishborn mem- ( :s of the contingent are especially c xious to visit relatives and friends, i t few of them have been granted i: ive. i Turkey Apologizes to Allies. London.?The grand /izier of Turkey has apologized on behalf of his gov ernment for the warlike operations of the Turkish fleet under German commanders in' the Black sea, but it was stated authoritatively that the Porte will have to go much further than this before the powers of the triple entente will agree to resume friendly relations with the Ottoman government. The apology came after Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish ambassador to Great Britain, had been handed his passports. It was disclosed in a statement is sued by the French government that Turkey, in reply to a note presented by Russia, France and England, agreed to recall her fleet from the Black sea, but refused to dismiss the German officers from her ships, and that, as it was believed she could not maintain a passive attitude without doing this, the ambassadors of the entente powers demanded their passports and left Turkey. .?I? II 1 i uirvo musi uiannoo wi ihrho. Washington. ? Turkey's apology through the grand vizier "for recent events in the Black sea," announced at London, was a sequel to events which Ambassador Morganthau reported in confidential cipher messages to the state department. It was accepted here as indicating clearly that con servative members >of the Ottoman cabinet purpose to avert war with the triple etente, Mr. Morganthau cabled that shortly after the Russian ambassador demand ed his passports the Turkish minister of agriculture called qn a certain neu tral diplomat and asked him to go to the Russian envoy to ascertain if an apology by Turkey for the bombard ment of Russian ports in the Black sea would be accepted and would pac ify Russia. The neutral diplomat saw the Rus sian ambassador, who said that his in structions to leave Constantinople were absolute, but that when all German sailors, soldiers and officers were dis missed summarily from the Turkish army and navy and when he had been advised of their departure from Tur key he would return and resume dip lomatic relations with Turkey. Torpedo Sinks British Cruiser. London.?The daring of German sub marines lurking along the French coast on the Straits of Dover to get a shot at British ships engaged in bombarding the German positions in Belgium was rewarded when one sank the light cruiser Hermes as she was returning from Dunkirk. Most of the crew were rescued! The Hermes was a comparatively old vessel and from a naval view point was of no great value, but the fact that she was attacked so near home indicates that the German sub marines must have a base somewhere on that part of the Belgian coast, oc cupied by German troops, from which they can menace shi^s of the allies passing between England and France. Only a few days ago one sank the Frenct steamer Admiral Ganteaume, which was carrying refugees from Ca '.Eio. How many submarines the Germans have in these waters is not known, but several have been seen recently. When ships are guarded by torpedo boat destroyers, as are those engaged in bombarding the German positions, they are comparatively safe, but the opportunity of the submarines come when one is caught alone, The cruiser Hermes is the seventh British cruiser destroyed by German submarines or mines. Others in the list are the Amphion, sunk by a mine on August 6; the Pathfinder, sunk by a submarine September 5; the Cressy, Hogue and Aboukir, sunk by a German submarine September 22, and the Hawke, sunk by a submarine Octo ber 15. , Ultimatum Sent To Turkey London.?Both Great Britain and Russia have presented the following demands to the sublime porte: An explanation of Turkey's naval ac tion in the Black sea; the dismissal of German officers from Turkish ships, and the dismantling of the cruisers Goeben and Breslau, said to have been purchased by Turkey and Germany. Failing to receive satisfaction of these demands, diplomatic relations with Turkey will be severed by Great Brit- 1 ain and Russia. j Egypt Annexed By Turkey i London.?Turkey haa formally an nexed Egypt, according to a German official statement which has been re ceived from Berlin by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph company.
