. Italy's Ultimatum to Turkey
y
A despatch from Rome says: The
tension between Italy and Turkey is
declared here to becoming daily more
acute. Italy is said to have asked for
categorical explanations concerning
Turkey's alleged refusal to withdraw
her troops . from the Cyrenaica dis-
trict in Tripoli, and Turkey is pur-
suing what is described as her usual
policy of procrastination::
In ,official circles here the feeling
is held that hostilities on the part of
Italy may commence at any moment,
as Italy's last note to Turkey'was al-
most of the character of an ;ultima
tum. Two hundred and fifty thou
sand men in the Provinces of Bari,
Foggia, and.Lecce are said to be pre-
pared to sail' from Brindisi on short

ALL ARE GIVEN CHANCE
TO SAVE THEIR LIVES.
A despatch from Petrograd says:
A statement issued by. the Admiralty'
relative to operations in the Black
Sea says:
"Our sailors • destroy Turkish ves-
sels because they carry coal and'pet-
rol, materials of war, but take every
measure to save the crews. The ves-
sels are cannonaded only when they
fail to halt after they are signaled.
In those cases where sailors prefer
to regain shore by swimming in order
to avoid capture they, never ate shot.
All who surrender are taken aboard
warships and transported to Sebasto-
pol."
U. S. WILL CONTEST

Department preparing to protest, t:e

therefore, the failure of her diplo-
macy to detach Russia from the
allies.
Russia every day is putting herself`
better z into shape for beginning the
war over again and carrying it this
time to a successful conclusion, The
Government has conceded the right o
free speech to the members of the
Dunia, and has allowed the leaders of
industry to take part in the reorgani,
zation which is required to produce
what the army needs.
The Ministers are urged to go a
step further by releasing workmen
from certain restrictions heretofore
in force and associating them with
the great national task of regenera-
tion.
900 ENEMY VESSELS HAVE BEEN SUNK.
Among the Number Lost Have Been Seven. Large
Steamers and a Dozen Sailing Ships
A despatch from Petrograd says;
Russian destroyers in the Black Sea
continue their devastating work upon
the flotilla carrying supplies for Con-
stantinople, Altogether over 900 en-
emy vessels have been burnt or sunk
since the beginning of the war, among
the number being several large steam-
ers and a dozen sailing ships of a
thousand tons each. Most of the ves-
sels were, of course, small coasting
i craft, which counted on their insig-
nificance to escape the vigilance of the
Russian scout boats. Some were sunk
at sea, but the majority were burnt
at anchor or within easy reach of
shore. Care has been taken also to
destroy all boat building yards along
the coast so that this small vessel
trade upon which Constantinople is
largely dependent for the necessaries
of life may safely be regarded as
having been extinguished.
HEAVY FIGHTING TURKS ATTACKED
IN THE VOSGES BY LAND AND SEA
Germans ?.'lake an Attempt to Cap-
ture Positions on Mountain
Heights.
A despatch from Paris says: The
army of the Crown Prince continued
its efforts Saturday to find a weak
spot in the French defences in the Ar-
gonne. For the first time since the
fighting began ten days ago the Ger-
mans were able to deliver a strong
infantry attack and penetrated the
first line of French trenches, but they
were immediately driven out.
The fighting in the Vosges was also
of a desperate character, the enemy
attempting to capture the peaks of
Linge and Schxatsmaennele on the
French frontier. They delivered two
violent attacks in the afternoon. In
one of these attacks they approached
the French line of trenches defending
the summit, and were driven back by
a bayonet charge.
The assailants suffered heavy loss-
es, the corpses of hundreds of the
enemy remaining in the network of
the French wire entanglements.
The German forces in the Argonne
attacked with great vigor 'again Sun-
day night and momentarily drove the
French back in the western portion
of the forest north of Fontaine Houi-
ette. They were driven from their
conquered trenches very shortly after,
managing to retain only a listening
post. At Fille Morte they were suc-
cessful, seizing a considerable length
of trenches, but in the end being able
to hold only 30 metres. In the Vos-
ges, where the Germans attacked yes-
terday with extreme violence, the
French troops were entirely victori-
ous.
SIX OF CREW DROWNED
IN TORPEDOED TRAWLER.
A despatch from • London says:
The trawler Grimbarian and the
steamer Portia (433 tons), of Liver-
pool, were sunk on Thursday, pre-
sumably by a submarine. Six of the
crew of the Grimbarian were drowned
and four were rescued.
The British steamer Costello, of
891 tons net; has been sunk. The
crew, with the exception of one man,
who was drowned, has been saved.
MAJ.-GEN. . VON BUELOW
IS KILLED IN BATTLE.
A despatch from Amsterdam says:
According to the Berlin newspapers,
Major -Gen. von Buelow, brother of
the commander of the Niemen army,
was buried at Berlin. He had been
mortally wounded in battle recently.
Additional Ground Has Been Cap•
tured by the British on
Gallipoli.
A despatch from London says: The
allies have delivered another land and
sea assault on the Turkish positions
on Gallipoli Peninsula, and evidently,
won considerable ground,
The Turkish War Office admits the
loss of ground, but claims that in an-
other engagement the Ottomans cap-
tured some* trenches from the allies.
A Constantinople despatch admits
that the allies after long and violent
preparation from laud and sea ad-
vanced and made a number of attacks
against the trenches on the Ottoman
left wing, penetrating a portion of
them, but claims that the Turks pre-
vented the allies from constructing
defences on the captured positions,
Near Seddul-Bahr part of the fore-
most Turkish trenches were situated
:or a time between the Turkish firing
line and that of the allies.
A Constantinople despatch says:
"With full realization that the pre-.
sent Balkan negotiations threaten
their last grip on Europe, the Turks
,are making feverish preparations to
defend themselves from attack in the
rear, The fortifications of the Adria-
nople-Lule Burgas-Tchataldja line,.
which are depended upon to hold back
a Bulgarian invasion, are being.
hastily strengthened, despite repeated
assurances from Sofia that Bulgaria
will remain neutral. North of Con-
stantieople the region about the Bos-
phorus and the Black Sea has been
closed to foreigners. The Turkish
forts there are being rebuilt to check
the 'Russians should Slav transports
succeed in landing troops to co-oper-
ate with the Bulgarians in an attack
on the Ottoman capital.
GRANTED ALL DEMANDS
' OF KRUPP WORKERS,
A despatch from Geneva says: Ad-
vices from Essen say that all the de-
mands of the employes of the Krupp
works have been granted, and: that a
serious strike has thus been .averted'
The German military authorities
brought great pressure on the Krupp
administration to this end.
Many of the skilled workrn:en dur-
ing the early part of the troubles re-
fused to continue at their machines;
some of them entered the army and
were sent to the Russian front. Others
in the ammunition department: were
replaced by women. There was no
strike among the engineers and
draughtsmen. The serious situation,
which was admitted even by the
Frankfurter Zeitung, seems now to
have. passed.
RUBBISH IN RUSSIAN A MUNITION CASES
Czar's Armies Terribly Handicapped by Activity•
of Germ An Agents in Munition 'Factories
A despatch from London says: The.
Daily Mail quotes a traveller who has
just returned from a trip through
Russia amid the Scandinavian coun-
tries as saying that he was greatly.,
surprised to find ore of the Russian
hospitals occupied by, women soldiers
wearing military uniforms. He says
these women had not been enrolled in
the fighting regiments, but had been
serving in the transportation corps
and the commissary. They had been.
under' fire during the retreat.
The Daily Mail's informant was not
able to learn details `abou`: the Rus-
sian casualties, 'but quotes Russian
officers as asserting that, the Czar's
armies were terribly handicapped,
Thousands of cases ae,., o'L ,ammunition

is attributed to :the activity of Ger-
