I on the Roumanian frontier as a = means of exerting pressure on the Bucharest govern- . meat before the note is handed to it. The whole position of Turkeys army in the Gallipot! Peninsula is in the balance unless Turkey can secure immediately large consignments of ammunition. It is as serted that tie- stubborn defease of her army in the peninsula is doomed to crumble dramatically and that at an early date, a reliable informant says that Information received from Constantinople is to the effect that the present available supplies will be exhausted in a little over a fortnight.

"I know that an effort was made to bring ahout a strike of longshoremen, ami that when that failed an effort was made to cause a strike of seamen. There can he no doabt that this foreign propaganda, with — limited I means behind it. is seeking to cheek the manufacture and exportation of supplies for Europe. A MillodgoNille.
