GLRMANS ATTACK ALLIES Severe Onslaught on French at Yprcs and British at La Bas see Russians and Germans Press Campaign in East Prus sia and Poland. London, .Inn. 27, !i:40 i. m. The nd vance of the Turkish army, which Is undeiiakliiK an invasion of Kwypt. has reached the British outposts to tho east of the Suez canal, where tho first skirmish of the war in this nfclon took plncc yesterday. The right. accordinR to the official tepoit. apparently was a wninll affair, onl one British officer being wound ed; but despatches from Cairo say tho invaders suffered severely from the machine guns of the Btltlsh troops Tim despatches do not disclose the size of the Turkish force, but say that the engagement took place to the east of HI Kantura. which is right on tho Suez canal and is the terminus of the caravan route from Bafatl, the bordr station between Egypt and Syria. Tho distance from Rnf.itt to Kl Kantara is 143 miles, and, as the British hud filled in all the wells along thn caravan route, tbe invaders would huve had to carry thulr own water, liven I Iff Kan tara Is supplied bj a pipo line from a frohh water stream which runs under the Suoz canal. CANAL STRONGLY COARDUn. It is believed the lighting ot the British forces was with the Arab or Kurdish ''orsemen employed by the Tuiks as pcout.s for tho main army under DJemal Pash.i, which consists of thtco aimy corps atid which Is Relieved to have," hiudly had time 'o cross the desert. The British have .- atrong force with which to guard the canal Nothing has been o-ifd of tho mili tary venture lUilc!. i ..a loporteil the Germans were propping .ff Bmperor Wllllam'.s birthday, unless tl , attnck.s on the French at Ypi-s an-' on the Uritl.xh at K-i Ilassee were Intended as such. All the official accounts agreo that thfso attacks wen very severe ones, hut beyond this there is nothing In com mon between the accounts of the allies and Uio Germans concerning tho light ing. The French communication to-night repeats the statement that the Germans were repulsed with heavy losses, whilo tho Germans say the liiltlsh were unable to recapture tht ir former positions. Similar contnidictnry t-tatements are made regarding the severe lighting which Is taking place near Craonne and Perthes In the Argonne and in the vicinity of St. .Mlhiel. In all these cases both sides claim that the battles resulted In tlvir favor. Bl'SSIAN'S PI'SIl CAMPAIGN. There has been increasing liveliness along tho eastern front.
