ITALIANS TAKE THE OFFENSIVE

Tbf British battleship Majestic, one of the oldest in commission, has been sunk off the Gallipoli Peninsula. Like the Triumph, she was torpedoed by a submarine. British submarines meantime are as active as over in raiding into the heart of the Turkish defences. Accounts are given to-day of a brilliant exploit by Ell, which sank a vessel, heavily.loaded with guns and munitions, in the Sea of Marmora. Later she entered Constantinople itself, and exploded a. torpedo alongside the arsenal. To the list of British naval losses is added that of the Princess Irene, a mine-layer, which was accidentally blown up in Sheerness harbour, with the loss of some hundreds of lives. No very sensational development is reported in the main campaigns. The Anglo-French offensive in Northern France is still making inroads into the German fortified front. In Galicia the Russians north and south of Przemysl are withstanding German assaults pressed in enormous force, and with a hurricane of artillery fire. The South Africnn Government is considering the question of sending a contingent to Europe. Indignation has been excited in the United States by the sinking of the Nebraska, a collier, laden with coal for the American Fleet, and one paper expresses the opinion that if the ship was torpedoed the deed amounted to an act of war. Southend has again been raided by Zeppelins. Their principal achievement was to kill two women and seriously injure a child. According to a late message, Djavid Pasha has gone to Berlin in pureuance of a decision of the Young Turk Party, to announce that Turkey will conclude a separate peace.
