an overwhelming disaster is bringing
warm praise from military observers
of every nationality.
I.ending experts state that the re
treat of Nieholas’s army is one of ttn
most masterly features of the war. The
remarkable display has lead to the be
lief that the Russians will be amply

A. P. A. B*rvio*.
ATHENS,, Aug. 81,—An allied *ub
marine has blown up a portion of the
Galata bridge in Constantinople, ac
cording to a dispatch received here
from the Turkiih capital this morning
The message states that the popula
tion and also the official* of the city
are terrified and in a state of panic by
a terrific offensive newly inaugurated
by the French and liritiah on Gallipoli
combined with submarine activities on
the Marmora sea.
It is indicated that the blowing up of
the famous bridge ha* completely de
moralized the Turks who were convinc
ed that the allies could not by any
means achieve such a result from »*h
marine operations as the structu"e is
located almost in the heart of the cit>
and connects the two sides of the town
In order to reach the bridge site the
submarine was compelled to pass to thp
middle of the Bosphorus and how the
result was achieved without the ves
sel being detected is a mystery. The
renewal of the offensive on Gallipoli isj
saiil to have resulted in the Turks be
ing compelled to give up several miles
of trenches and the steamship and also
the Turkish reports privately received
indicate that the allies are sweeping
over the Turks at every point.

NOME LOOKS GOOD
TO VISITORS
PartiuM arriving from the Yukon on
the Senator reports that all of the inte
rior camps are very dull and the general
briskness of Nome is greatly marked
by contrast. One man who has visited
several of tho larger Yukon camps
states that Nome Is a booming town
by comparison with tho majority of the
up river camps. Hard luck stories of
every description are related all indi
cating a profound industrial depres
sion from Dawson down. The latter
town is said to be especially dull since
the outbreak of the war while tho lack
of business in the lower camps is oc
casioned largely by an absence of pay
dirt in tho various diggings. Ono par
ty states that the present season will
probably evitness tho working out of
Flat creek in the Kuby section and the
pay left in the main diggings in other
camps Is also very slim.
