SHARP DECLINE IN GERMAN EXCHANGE RATE
TURKS iT ON TWO SIDES
BRITISH OCCUPY SOLLUM
RESIGNATION OF ADMIRAL r TIRPITZ
Though the third act in the Battle of Verdun-is said to be beginning, there is little news of recent events in that area. Complete confidence is expressed in a French semi-official message that the Germans will fail to master the essential French defences, west of the Meuse, against which they have lately been concentrating. A sensational drop is reported in the rate of German exchange in New York, and also at Copenhagen. The decline is interpreted by the "New York "Herald" as revealing the world's perception of Germany's impending financial and military collapse. An action is reported in Mesopotamia, in which the British stormed a Turkish advanced position and captured some prisoners. Unconfirmed Dutch' reports state that Allied aviators bombarded the Krupp works .at Essen. '
