TURKS DEFEATED WEST OF ERZERUM. ' . " Y . : The. news from. the various- theatres of the great war to-day makes Tip ft thrilling and cheering budget. On every front tho .enemy has been dealt a series of severe blows. On the Russian, front the success of the Muscovite armies has been' dramatic. The whole line from thcj Pripet to the lusk 1 salient is oji the move, \aad tho Russians are closing in-upon. Kovel, from which they are now distant only 20 miles, while the Gernians, are retiring in disorder. In'-Galicia Letchitsky's brilliant have accounted i : for 31,000 prisoners in tho last two weeks; Pflanzer's army is'bes ; ond hope,; , and the collapse of the Austrian-morale is lefleotetl in bitter recrimina- . ,j tiona in the Hungarian Chamber of Deputies, where members relieved their harrowed and disgusted feelings by throwing inkstands, at Aeir political adversaries. In the West events are rapidly developing. The British line is ■ ' moving steadily forward, while the French, by a brilliant stroke, havei cut'' a srpathfl in the German defences -which has advanced their line a substantial shade nearer Peronno. The general situation is beginning to penetrate the public mind in Germany, w here anxiety ■ is taking the place of the former feeling of confidence. The Turks have been severely defeated ' ' by the Eussians west of Erzerum. Two significant events are reported from the sea. -IA German super-submarine, professedly a cargo-carrier, has negotiated a riaky passage across the : Atlantic, and made a dramatic appearance in- American waters,' opening 1 up a new-problem in the law of. the sea. Two hundred.British steamers, which had been tied up in the Baltic ever since the war broke out iii 1914, have voyaged to England unmolested—a happy: Circumstance, attributed to the British victory at the Battle of Jutland.
