MAY ATTACK TURKEY
Triple Entente Angered by Breach of
Neutrality Rules
Since the purchase by the Turkisb
Government, of the two German
cruisers, Goeben and Breslau, the
chances are that Turkey, unless she
repudiates her purchase, will face
war with the triple entente—and, iu
addition, expose herself to the hostile
intentions of both Greece and Italy.
The price which the Turkish Gov-
ernment is said to have paid Germany
for the cruisers in question is said
to have been $20,000,000. The buying
of the vessels is eaid to be in direct
violation of the neutrality laws, and
to constitute a menace to Greece and
Italy.

"The Germans are advanchig on

JAPAN IS READY
TO ENTER 116111
Sends Ultimatum to -Germany Which
Is Merely a Pretext For Attack-
ing That CountrY
Japan has sent AR ultimatum to
Germany' deruanding that she with-
draw her warships and evacuate Klee -
Chau. Unless Germany uncondition-
ally accepts by August 23 japan will
take action.
The ultimatum is as follows:
"We consider it -highly important
and necesiiary in the present situ-
ation to take measures to remove the
causes of all disturbances of the peace
in the Far East and to safeguard the
general interests as contemplated by
the agreement of alliance between
Japan and Great, Britain. .
"In order to secure a flrm and en-
during peace in eaetern Asia, the
establishment of which is the aim of
the said agreement, the Imperial
Japanese Governineet sincerely be-
lieves it to be its duty to give the
advice. tqw thgs Imperial German Gov.
eiliunenr Id cal1l7 out the following
two propositIous: .
"First—To withdraw immediately
from Japanese and Chinese waters
German men-of-war and armed ves-
sels of all kinds, and to disarm at
once those which cannot be so with-
drawn.
"Second—To deliver on it date not
leter than September 15 to the Ins.
pellet Japanese authorities, without
condition or compeasatIon, the entire
leased territory of Mao -Chau, with
a Vi011, to the eventual restoration of
the same to China.
"The Imperial Japanese Covello
ment announces at the same time
that in the event of it not receiving
by noon on August 23, an answer from
the Imperial German Government
signifying its unconditional iiteep.
tance of the above advice offered by
the Impel -lot Japanese Government,
Japan will be compelled to take such
action as she may deem necessary
to rneet the situation."
That Germany will yield to Japan's
demand is impossible, and the In-
evitable result will be the occupation
of Alen -Chau by the Japs and the
capture or destruction of the German
warships In Asiatic waters.

Great Battle impending in, Which
Millions of Men Will Engage
' The conditions under which the

'this vast engagement will differ pro-

A
LONG RANGE BATTLE
BETWEEN'CRUISERS
German Vessel Declined to Stand u
and Fight the Smallest British_
Warship -on the Atlantic
•For half en hour on Tnureday night,
Au'glist 6,51.M.S, Bristol, 'the sniallest
British warehip iu the North Atlantic,
•fonght a long-range duel with the
Karlsruhe, one of the German erulsers
which have been trying to Intercept
British sKipping on the North At-
lantic. Fleeing froni H.M.S. Suffolk,
which interrepted the Karlarnhe Paat"
ing at 'sea from the North Getman
Lloyd steamer Kroupriz Wilherm,'the
German cruiser was intercepted by
the Bristol southwest of Bermuda, and
for a half hour a long-range running
fight took place in the blackness of
semi -tropical night.
Racing through thee heavy swell at
a terrific clip, the ships exchanged
'broadsides without inflicting mucb
damage, the cohditIons being very un-
favorable for accurate gunnery. Al.'
though the Bristol's eonsorts were
at least 100 miles astern, the German
would not stand and fight, Altering
bus course, he gradually drew away,
frotn the Bristol owing to superior
speed, and after half an hour was
out of. range of the British ship's:
six-inch bowchaser. All through the
night the chase lasted, but sinnewhere
in the darkness the German doubled
and made off south to San Juan where
he Put in for coal some days ago.
Details of this action were brought
to Halifax last Friday by H.M.S. Suf-
folk, the flagship of Rear -Admiral
Cradock, commanding the fourth
cruteer squadron.
"Nineteen thoueand yards was the
closest we got to her," said the flag
captain of the Suffolk. "The Bristol
was to the north' or us. and the Ber-
wick to the south. We called both
of them up by wireless and ordered
them to aid in the chase. The Ber-
wick tried to cut off the Kronprinz
Wilhelm, while the Bristol took a
Position to intercept the Karlsruhe.
All afternoon we raced after the fly-
ing German. By 5 o'clock her smoke
had disappeared, and then all our
hopes 'centred in the Bristol picking
her up. .A.t 9 o'clock that night the
weleotue news came through the air
otonerausy,,f,r,oni the Bristol:
the message: "We are .engaging the
sight." A few Minutes later cams
"Enemy in
'Although we must have been fully
one hundred miles astern by then,
we raced on for all we were worth.
We had no fear of the result if the
German stood up to the Bristol, for
we were all sure that our fellows
could whip the Karlsruhe easily at
dose quarters, but wanted to be in
at the finish ourselves.
"The Karlsruhe had the' heels of
the Bristol, too. They were la action
for Just about half an hour. For a
few minutes the German stood up
and the ships fought broadside to
broadside, the Bristol using her two
6-Inchers and the fire 4.1ne1iers on
her broadside against the Karlsruhe's
live 4,1's. After a Sew minutes, how -
''dr, the Karlsruhe turned end ran.
The Bristol chased her, firing her for-
ward 6-incher. It was difficult to make
anything like good practice. It was
pitch 'dark and the sea was heavy.
Not one of the German shells landed
anywhere near the 13ristol, but our
chaps think they got some shots
aboard the Karlsruhe. However, in
long-range fighting, under those con-
ditions, it is pretty diffleult to do
inuch, and the Karlsrulie'e speed
Saved her again,"

GERMANS FALL BACK
French Troops Attacked Aggressively
—Captured Many Prisoners
The following official statement was

"The French troops, who occupied
Bonen on Saturday, continued to ad-
vance, their progress being esbecially
rapid in the Schirmeek valley. We
have taken 1,000 prisoners in ad-
dition to live hundred on Friday.
Large quantities of equipment were
abandoned by the Germans; we have
also captured this, We Pushed aS
far as Lorquin Heights, capturing a
convoy belonging to a cavalry divis-
ion, nonsisting of nineteen automo-
biles and lorries.
"The Germans attacked Dinant (ia
Belgium). Their force consisted of a
guard division and the first cavalry
division, supported by several bat-
tallions, of infantry and machine gun,
companies. ,When these forces ap-'
peered on the left bank the French'
attacked with great Vigor awl dash:
The Germans 80011 gave way and
recrossed the Meuse in great dis-
order. Many who failed. to reach the
bridge slipped down the steep bank
and fell into the swiftly -flowing .river
and ivere drowned.
"Profiting by the disorder, a French
light cavalry regiment followed over
the river and pursued the Germans
for many entice. This regiment put
to flight and drove before it greatly ,

the assurance that 'the ocean routes
