Renewed activity of the Turkish forces is reported in today's dis
patches, fresh troops being reported on the way to invade Egypt.
The English army corps, with a train of 8000 camels, has left
Damascus. What has become of the forces' previously dispatched to
Egypt has never been revealed. The early Invasion reached El Arish

A ukaso Just promulgated calls to arms

Russia annually passes In normal years
Into Its army something over 700,000 re
cruits. This number represents only a
portion of those actually liable for serv
ice the rest aro registered In reservo.
For the present year the ukase orders
that there be summoned to tho colors
C$5,000 recruits. It Is significant of Rus
sia's confidence In tho conditions of its
forces In this great war that, after w
months of such fighting as the world has
never seen before, the Czar deems It
amply sufficient to call up hardly more
than half the number of young men who
are liable to be summoned to the colors.

"This Is, in tho best sense of the term,

FRENCH
From tho sea to the Lis there has
been an Intermittent cannonade less
violent In Its nature than on preceding
days. In tho region of Ypres our ar-
tlllcii has replied effectually to that
of tho enemy nnd succeeded In di
recting Its fire well ngalnst the Uoi

Between the Lys nnd the Olse, In the
region of La Bolssellc, our troops have

combat
To tho northeast of Soissons, on

In their turn, and captured two lines
of tho enemy's trenches on a front
about 500 vnrds long extending toward
tho cast.
Thcso trenches are part of those cap

possession of all of Height No 132.
On the Alsno and In Champagne as

lery duels.
From Rhelms to the Argonno our
artillery has bombarded tho first-line
trenches of tho cqomy nnd the shel
ters of his rescrvps to the north of
Perthes. After having repulsed tho
counter attack reported from this re
gion last night, we have advanced,
gaining a line of trenches 200 yards
long.
To the north of Beausojour the en

In tho neighborhood of Souplr there
has been no fighting during the last

which the enemy had previously taken.
The Trench suffered heavy losses.

AUSTRIAN
The general situation Is without
change. South of tho Vistula the Rus- ,
slans yesterday bombarded our post
lions, but without result. They direct
ed their fire particularly to our posi
tions on tho heights to the northeast
of Zakllczyn (Galicla),
North of tho Vistula nt some points
there have been heavy artillery battles.
An attempt by the enemy to cross the
Nida with weak forces failed
Tho situation in tho Carpathians Is
quiet. Two reconnoitring detachments
of the enemy In Bukowlna were de
stroyed by machine-gun fire.
RUSSIAN
On the left bank of the Vistula
nothing but desultory engagements
with the Germans have taken place
During the night of January 8-9 and
throughout the following day the
Germans directed four successive at
tacks against us In the northern re
gion Our troops, proceeding by sap
ping, pelted the Germans with hand
grenades and forced them out of their
trenches and leveled their works.
In the region of the Moghely farm
we advanced and succeeded In taking
part of the German trenches In which
wo entrenched ourselves.
Tho Italian navy, although large, Is
mado up largely of old vessels. Between
1900 and 1912 there were virtually no nddl
tlono to the fleet, which now numbers
180 lighting vessels of all classes. There
aro now building the only superdrcad-
noughts of tho Kingdom, four In number,
whose keels were laid down last year;
two 22,000-ton dreadnoughts, duo for com
pletion this year, and 16 formidable de
stroyers, threo of 1500 tons, three of 1028
tons, due for completion in 1016, nnd ten
of 770 tons, which should be ready for
duty In the very near future. Eight Im
mense submarines are planned, but have
not been laid down yet. With these ad
ditional ships Italy will have an addi
tional strength of 30 first-class fighters.
The most powerful ships in tho Italian
fleet at piVsont are tho dreadnoughts
Conto dl Cavour, Glullo Cetaro and
Leonardo da Vinci. All have a displace
ment of 22.000 tons, a complement of 057
men nnd officers nnd the following arma
ment: Thirteen 12-lnoh guns, 18 7-Inch
and 14 3-Inch guns, with two submerged
nnd ono above-water stern torpedo tubes
firing 18-lnch projectltcs. Tho Danto
Allghlerl, the only other dreadnought, has
a displacement of 18,400 nnd carries a
crew of 500. The guns arc tho same In
calibre but differ In disposition from the
larger boats,.ias follows: Twelve 12 inch,
20 4.7 Inch nnd 12 3-Inch guns, and three
submerged 18-Inch torpedo tubes.
Tho four supor-dreadnoughtB building
are the Chrlstoforo Colombo, tho M.
Colonna, tho F. Moroslnl and tho Car
lacclolo. Each vessel will carry eight
15-lnch guns, which can bo fired in broad
side from port or starboard. Tho rest oj
tho armament will consist of 16 6-Inch
guns and 20 3-Inch guns Both forward
nnd stern turrets carry tho 15-Inch guns,
four ln each turret. Theso ships will each
be of 30,000 tons displacement, and al
though no Indication Is given as to the
size of tho crew, vessels of this sort re
quire at least 1200 men to be manned
properly.
Of the rest of tho fleot, there aro four
first-class battleships completed In 1905;
four in 1901 and two In 1898; one second
ilass battleship put into scrvico Inst
year; four In 1901; ono in 1S99 and ono
in UOS; a total of 10 flrst-closs and seven
socond-class battleships Five old ar
mored cruisers, completed between 1830
1S99, are also in service. Threo scout
cruisers, two In 1913 and ono In 1912, and
ono protected cruiser commissioned In
1912 with nine others from 1SS3-1899. com
plete the cruiser clnss. Eight old-fashioned
torpedo-gunboats, none built slnco
1899, are counted as part of tho fighting
force.
In the destroyer squadron are only ten
real first-class ships. These, completed
In 1913, are of approximately 700-tons dls-
platemont each, with a maximum speed
of 30 knots and 14,000 horsepower. The
remaining 23 In commission nro of from
300 to 400 tonnage, and although of high
speed have little power. The S3 torpedo
boats, with tho exception of 31 of the sea
going type, nio all old. The fleet Is di
vided Into 60 seagoing, 5 first-class, 14
second-class and 6 third-class boats.
Tho submarine fleet Is In far better con
dition. Eight powerful boats, with two
tubes and a cruising radius of 1200 miles
each, were put Into service a little more
rthan a year ago. Two others, of a
Btnaller type, were completed at about
the same time, while In 1912 three other
submarines wero built. These were the
first of the new type. One other boat,
built In 1907, and five more, built between
1903 and 1906, complete the effective un
derwater fighters. Nineteen of tho sub
marines havo two tubes and effestlve
cruising radii. The remaining submarine,
still in service, is a relic of 1890. It has
but ono tube and a cruising radius of
only SO miles.
