Russia Again Victor — Rou mania Ready for War—Turkey's Urgent Plea for Help

The Russians have achieved another success in Galife^a, equal to that at Tarnopol, and only 17 miles to the south-east, at Tremboola. Their second success yielded 7000 prisoners. Since the 3rd inst., the Russians have captured along the River Sereth 17,000 men and 99 guns.

A Rome message states that diplomatists are certain that Roumania is prepared to place 300,000 in the field in the event of an Austro-German invasion of the Balkans, the entry of Bulgaria, or the definite conquest of the Dardanelles. They are also convinced that Bulgaria has given up the idea of joining Austria and Germany.

It is reported from Athens that the Sultan of Turkey has sent an urgent demand to the Kaiser for help, stating that the Turks are unable to hold out longer at Gallipoli.

The casualties caused by the Zeppelin raid over London on Wednesday night were 20 persons killed and 86 injured. Only four of these were soldiers.

Reuters correspondent at Washington states that the United States Government has requested Austria to recall her Ambassador, owing to his part in promoting strikes in munitions factories.
