DUBNO CAPTURED BY ENEMY * ■ I ROUMANIA READY FOR WAR. I TO RESIST INVASION OF BALKANS TURKEY'S URGENT PLEA FOR HELP. p, The Russians have achieved another success in Galicia, equal to that at Tarnopol, and only 17 miles to the south-east, Wil ' at Tremboola - Their- second success yielded 7000 prisoners. -V Since the 3rd inst., the Russians have captured along the gjjj River Sereth 17,000 men and 99 guns. Elsewhere they are con- ? tinuing their premeditated retirement, making occasional I . counter-attacks despite enemy artillery fire of the most violent jf> character. X> The Austrian? claim to have captured Dubno, a town just rj over the Russian border, due north of Tarnopol. jp A Rome message states that the diplomatists* are certain ||, : : that Roumania is prepared to place 300,000 in the field in the I , ,'--"■ event of an Austro=German invasion of the Balkans, the entry, of Bulgaria, or the definite conquest of the Dardanelles. They are also convinced that Bulgaria has given up the idea of joining Austria and Germany. It is reported that the Premier of Greece has arranged for a conference of the Premiers and military attaches of Servia, Roumania, Bulgaria, and Greece. It is reported from Athens that the Saltan of Turkey has sent an urgent demand to the Kaiser for help, stating that the Turks are unable to hold out longer at Gallipoli. Rome reports state that cholera and typhus are raging in . . . the Central Empires, and that the efforts to combat them are ; - : proving inadequate. The casualties caused by the Zeppelin raid over London on Wednesday night were 20 persons killed and 86 injured. Only four of these were soldiers. There is an unconfirmed report- from Amsterdam that a Zeppelin returning from a raid exploded over Brussels. Renter's correspondent at Washington states that the United States Government has requested Austria to recall her Ambassador owing to his part in promoting strikes in ■ v ,; munitions factories.--.*.- .■-..-, ', ( \ - '
