TERRIFIC SLAUGHTEE - i ENEMY'S ATTACKS .HURLED BACK , THE AIR RAIDS ON/. PARIS . FURTHER PARTICULARS I PRESIDENT WILSON'S WARNING Prolonged, determined, and most desperate fighting characterises tho German attacks on the Allied line on the Western front, and the French troops, fighting magnificently,, are recovering' their ground. There are no developments of moment on tho Russian front, while in the Balkans there seems to ho a lull in the.military operations, except iu Albania, where the Italian troops are reported to have joined up with Essad Pasha. The Teutonic Powers are growing suspicious of Rumania, awl a demand for a statement of her Balkan policy and tho war is suggested. The Kaiser has abandoned his projected trip to .Constantinople on account of . a plot against his life. As was expected, President Wilson's speech lias caused a sensation in Europe; it is rumoured in Washington that an impasse between the United States and, Germany with regard to the Lusitania crimo is imminent. A further instalment of tho extraordinary adventures of "the Man who dined with the Kaiser" is given, and therein tho author describes his impressions of tho Turks' intentions with regard to the campaign. Tho Turks, he declares, "mean business," and despite their losses can still raise men. Important Trade Conferences are being held in London with a view to cutting down the imports, and proclamations, are .pending.
