REMARKABLE EXPLOIT BY SUBMARINE

BIG HAUL I THE SEA OF MARMORA POPE APPEALS FOR PEACE The most conflicting news is coming from the Balkans. The dispatches of the Italian war correspondents in Groece are stated by the "Daily Telegraph's" correspondent at Rome to disclose a serious situation—serious from the Allies'point of view. German intrigue is rife. Against these depressing reports i 6 a clear statement by King Constantino, given to "The Times" correspondent, in which the monarch declares his attitude to the Entente. There are rumours of a big Turco-German scheme for an attack on Egypt in the spring. Tho British retirement in Mesopotamia lias disturbed the newspaper critics. General Townshend has reached his new lines. From tho Western front i are the usual routine reports of artillery and mine fighting, and handgrenade combats. A British submarine in the Sea of Marmora has achieved a remarkable exploit, disabling a railway train on shore, and sinking a Turkish torpedo-boat and several supply ships. Considerable aotivity is reported from the Dardanelles. There is no news from the Italian front, and very little —a German communique only—from the Russian front.
