A. P. A. Service.
LONDON, Sept. 10.—Dispatches from
Sofia. Bulgaria, today report the land
ing of a second contingent of British
troops at Cape Takeh. The land forces
of the entente allies are now rapidly
swelling to considerable proportions
through the steadily arriving stream
of reinforcemnts from France and Great
Britain in preparation for a great gen
eral attack which is expected to de
cide the fate of the Dardanelles.
According to the information, a con
stant stream of transports have been
arriving in the gulf of Saros during the
past week loaded with troops and sup
plies for the great army gathering for
the final blow.
The composition of the allied army
is more or less of a puzzle at the pres
ent time. Information from several
sources indicates that the Italians have
joined forces with the troops of France
and Britain and will swell the entente
forces to sufficient proportions to over
whelm the Turkish defenders. The
statement is partially confirmed by the
reported activity of the Italian trans
port fleet which is said to have recent
ly departed for some unknown destin
ation with a grfeat number of troops.

A THIRD VICTORY
A. P. A. Service.
LONDON, eptS. 11.—Petrograd an
nounces still another success on the
south Galician frontier which has re
sulted in the capture of over five thou
sand troops. The Russian dispatches
assert that the army is being rapidly
reorganized and is gradually taking the
offensive along the whole line south
of Vllna.
The Germans are still active In that
locality and are making every attempt
to envelop the city. The Russians ad
mit that tW German progress has
reached a point where the city may ul
timately be abandoned owing to thp
necessity of keeping the lines intact.
The Invaders are pressing in from the
south taking advantage of a scries of
positions which place the Russians at a
great disadvantage. Should their ad
vance be checked before the progress
to the east become dangerous the Rus
sians will hold on to the city. The last
victory along the Galician front is said
to have resulted in the capture of
twelve thousand men and great stores
of war supplies.

vices this afternoon slate that the Aus

new energy along that section of the
front.

‘he m ist savage description during the

ing by no means the tiest of it. That

evacuation of the city, but the pres
ent reports indicate that the danger In
