'Tho leaders of tho disaffection are

serted, may bo confidently expected very

Last night's ofllclal report from the
Turkish War Office, received from Con
stantinople, says: "There have been no
Important changes on the various fronts."
Tho Russian official report from Petro

only: "Our pursuit continues."
Major Moraht, military critic of the
Berliner Tageblatt, contributes a frank
discussion of tho fall of Krzerum to tho
latest Issue of that paper received here.
He says:
"No ono can say otherwise than that

ably. At tho beginning of February the
situation on the Caucasian front became
critical for the Turks.
"Tho Russian conquest of Krzerum Is.
of course, of Importance, both strategic

Addressing the opening session of the

the war situation in a most optimistic
way, although ho declared It was more

tho end of the world struggle.
M. Snzonoff'M address dealt with Rus

"Rumania will not betray her own In
terests, and when tho hour strikes sho will
know how to realize her natlonul unity at
the cost of her own blood. She may be
certain that In defending herself against
the attempts of a common enemy to Inter

cisions sho will find real support."
"The Foreign Minister spoke In a way
Intended to reassure Sweden.
Taking up Russian-American relations,

"In any cose, tho Russian (Jovornmont
will put forth nil Its efforts to this end."
M. Sazonoff also dealt with the Polish
problem.
"From Ihe beginning of. the war," he
said, "Russia lias had Inscribed on nor
banner the reunion of dismembered Po
lnifl, and never has this ceased to be our
aim. Germany has granted a few minor
concessions to Poland, and In return It
Is said she contemplates raising hundreds
of thousand!) of Polish troops, to be used
In the attempt to bring about tho tri
umph of dermanlsm."
"The Allies have brought about a com
plete union without tho sacrlllce by any
one of them of a particle of Independence
or personality. With tho enemy It Is dif
ferent. dermatiy'H allies hnvo become
vassals. It is hard to speak any longor of
Austria-iiungary, Turkey and iiuignrla as
independent States. Tho clutching grasp
of Germany has solzed tho power In their
armies and all branches of administra
tion. "The signature by the live allied Powers
to the treaty to conclude peace In com
mon proves the falsity of absurd rumors
of a separate peace."

The War Today
Tho Gorman forces are making
rapid progress in their great drivo
upon Verdun, according to today's
official report issued from Berlin.
t ' j The Germans hnvo mndc fur-
1 ther ndvnnccs on the cast bank of
; j the Meuse, the report stntlng that
! ; they have captured the villages of
Brabant, Haumont and Samogneux.
They have also taken all tho forest
,i:, ,.!, f ,K northwest, north
nnd northeast of this region.
. ,..,. ua.ance the Germans
have taken possession of Bcaumoni
as well us Horbedois, the report
adds.
I
French forces have been com
nelled to evneuate the villntre of
Brabant-sttr-Meusc, less than eight
miles north of Verdun, under heavy
attack by the Crown Prince's
army, it was officially admitted in
Pnris today.
The French have also lost part
of the Caures wood, four miles cast
of Brabant, the War Office report
ed, but have repulsed other heavy
German attacks.
The German centre ugain deliv--crcd
a violent onslaught against
Beaumont, seven miles northeast
of Verdun, but all attacks were
beaten off. The War Office report
ed German losses ns heavy in this
fighting, which was especially vio
lent. Tho Central Empires, it is fore
cast in dispatches, may strike bel
ligerently at Portugal. The casus
belli would be; in case of a decla
ration, the action of the Lisbon au
thorities in seizing OG German and
Austrian vessels interned in the
Tagus. England's guarantee of
Portuguese integrity, under an
nncirnt treaty, and the action of
tho Republic in aiding the British
campaign in Africa iiavc excited
resentment in Berlin which may
flame out on account of the new de
velopment. The military situation in Ar
menia is in statu quo on account of
the bitter weather and heavy
snows, which have delayed the
Itusslan advance and hindered the
fleeing Turks. Political conditions
in European Turkey .itc chaotic
and Athens dispatches confidently
predict a revolt against the Young
Turk Government.
The Czar has again left for the
front. Vienna reports repulse of
Russian attacks northwest of
Tarnopol.

Drastic Action Likely to

" LISnO.V. Feb. 24.
Hermany nnd Austria aro expected to

steamships, Borne of them large vcssals,

The Oerman nnd Austrian merchant
steamships have been Interned In Portu
guese ports since the beginning of the
war. They were seized as a result of
Information reaching the CSovcrnnicnt that
some of them wore being prepared for
n dash to sea to prey upon the Allies'
commerce.
Tho seizure was made yesterday after
noon, nnd It was reported today that
large guns were found In the hold of five
of the vessels that had been lying In the
Hlver Tagus.
Tho Premier. 51. C'osln, announced that
the vessels were confiscated because Por
tugal needed transports and because of
tho fear that they would escape Into tho
Atlnntlc, possibly to raid allied com
merce. In support of this statement ho
snld that only Tuesday night the Herman

tho port of Kunclml Mud elm Island,
without clearance papers. Tho Portu
