"ttaatlna la Rast Critical. Notwithstanding it. Tneenee mterest in the Important questions which now In volve shipping Interetts. England haa not lost sight of the military operattone now In progress on both fronts. The fighting In East Prussia and Bukowlna, where the two extreme wings of the Russian army are . heavily engaged by Austro-Oorman forces, Is considered the most Important activity now going on either In the east or west. Petrograd dispatches Insist that the Russians carried out In perfect order their retirement In East Prussia. An Important battle la raging in the vicinity of Augustowo, where In the 'fall the Russians succeeded in stopping a previous Oerman attempt to Invade Rus sia. Now, however, the Muscovites have a much more serious threat to deal with for besides having sent a new army Into East Prussia the German, are In strong force In 'the district between East Prus sia and 'the lower Vistula. Their con tinued advance there would Jeopardise the Russians, who are , holding tho trenches to the south or the Vistula and who succeeded In frustrating Field Mar shal Von Hindenburg'a attempt, to reach Warsaw from the west. The German plans are not quite clear, but It Is bel(eved probable they still have their eyes on Warsaw and hope by tak ing that city to break the- Russian power to resume the offensive so that they may be free to take more energetic steps against the allies In the west.

TURKS REPORT BIG YICTORYJN EGYPT Placards Posted in Jaffa and Jeru salem Tell of Capture of It mail and Suez. BRITON CRUISERS SINK IN CANAL ALEXANDRIA, Feb. 18. (Via London) Passengers by the Amer ican cruiser Tennessee, which has been bringing refugees from the coast of Syria to Egypt, are author ity for the statement that while no actual atrocities have been com mitted by the Turks in 8yria, a number of persons have been mal treated. The population of Syria, although fanatical, is remaining calm. The Tennessee arrived here yesterday from the Syrian coast. Refugees on board say that Hassan Bey, the commander at Jaffa, ha. a rather overbearing manner and that he treats national, of the Intents power, with great rigor. Reports of a Turkish victory In Egypt, printed In let ter, of gold, have been posted In Jaffa. The people have been told that Ismail and Sues have been occupied by the Turks' who are now marching on Cairo, Graphic descriptions of the alleged sink ing of several British cruiser. In the Sues canal caused the greatest jubilation. The Turkish casualties In these engage ments were given a. ten, men killed and twentv-five wounded. There was great rejoicing at Jerusalem, where a large amount of ammunition waa expended In the firing of guns to cele brate tha event Nationalists of the' en tente power. Great Britain, France and Russia, were insulted by the populace and compelled to remain Indoors. Six wounded German officers have been brought to Jerusalem, where Bach Pasha, the Ger man commander, has his headquartera. Some of the Araba rebelled against the recruiting order and several of them had to be shot before they would advance. It appears, according to the Information brought by these' refugees, that while Constantinople was anxious to attack Egypt, the Germans desired merely to menace the British and compel them to hold troops in Egypt. The Germans who participated In the fighting still speak of the hardships of the trip across the des ert, and some of them expressed the opinion that Turkish success wa. Impos sible. It Is said there were 600 German officers and men In the Turkish army which undertook the expedition to Egypt. This army ronslsted of 7.000 well trained Anatolians with a number of Araba and Bedouin.. All the refugees on the Tennessee were Israelites, no Christiana being allowed to leave.
