Everywhere .the disposition seem to bo to aWalt spring when, with fresh armies thrown Into the field events promise to move more quickly. Great Britain is sending thousands of men to France every week, and according to reports from Berlin, Ger many, aware of that, is making great military preparations for a counter movement. All the reserves are being called to the colors, It Is declared In London, and the further statement Is made that German generals are pre paring to tisume active direction of all the campaigns?the Au3trlo-Hun garian fight against Servla and Rus sia and the Turkish campaign against Russia and Great Britain. That briefly is the plan that London mlll taiyobservefs believe will ba follow ed, strtject however, to any change which tftfc entrance into war of Ron mania or Italy might necessitate. Germany stlU claims she is mak ing progress towrvrtl^ Warsaw. There have been published in London, how ever, reports that these ^operations are merely masking movements to shield , a German retreat to the SlleSian fron-1 ^ier.

According to Berlin reports, the British military establishments In and near Dunkirk were completely des troyed by the German airship flotil la, which attacked that city on Sunday., The Dunkirk lighting plant also was destroyed according to some official Information made public in Berlin Durklrk, on the coast of France, is the British continental military base. Troops and supplies arriving from England are landed at this port, where extensive military supply stations hare been establlshedVand Dunkirk, In consequence, has long been the object of the German aerial fleet Turkey has acceded to all of Italy's demands and arraneseaaeats are under way whereby the Ottoman government will give satisfaction for the Invasion of the Italian consulate at Hojlelda and the dragging therefrom -of the British vice consul who sought safety thert.

A Turkish-commission has been appointed to investigate the incident before the final granting reparation. - . Notwithstanding the prospect of au early closure of the Hodelda incident, observers of the powerful political currents that havo been created by the war believe that Italy will Inevitably be swept into the conflict, and proba bly at an early date. According to the latest reports, the Italian govern ment is already rushing troops to her Islands in the Aegean Sea off the coast of Asia Minor. It Is significant that these garrisons should be streng thened just at this time. It Is taken to mean that the Italian government Is preparing for the eventualities of the war. Tnesdajr Afternoo?
