GREAT AERIAL RAID

- A gigantic German' plot to take Warsaw by means of spying and treachery.has been revealed by tho hanging of the Russian traitor, Colonel Mjasoedoff. A cable message this morning narrates how the plan was scotched. General Sir lan Hamilton describes “the most violent bombardment yet experienced” and a general - Turkish attack on the Allies’ front on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Several attacks followed, and the result was the complete failure of tho enemy, with large additions to his recent heavy casualties. The Allied battleships have all left the Dardanelles in consequence, it is assumed, of the presence of seven big German submarines in the Aegean Sea, “compelling (says an Athens report, usually unauthentic) the withdrawal of tho big ships, and involving a catastrophe to the army.” The Turkish losses on the Peninsula are set down at 180,000. A great British aerial raid is reported on'a German port, but full details are not supplied. On the western front, big events are foreshadowed. Tho Allies are said to be waiting for iha full fury of the German offensive. Admiral von Spee’s account of the destruction of Admiral Cradock’s squadron is published through Berlin.
