effect on the enemy. The landing tool

been led by recent activities and re?
ports to concentrate their fore? s on
the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles and
at Smyrna.
The whole British landing force, with
its ammunition, baggage and artillery,
reached the shore practically without
opposition, and with only a very few
casualties. It immediately advanced
and quickly seized the positions it had
planned to take. There the strong in
trenched positions were organize?!, the
right wing was thrown out and a June

forces established before Sari Bair.
The new positions threaten the

GERMANY SEES
MENACE IN MOVE

Own Interests, Official
Orjiarl Declares.
[Hv CaAU la Tl,? Tr.l??.?;? |
Zurich, Aug. lf>. The comquest of
Poland seems likely to prove an apple
of discord between Germany and Aus?
tria.
Grand l>ukc Nicholas's proclamation
when the war began that after victory
the three Poland? Russian, German
and Austrian would again form a
uni??-?I autonomous kingdom wa? sol-I
, emnly promulgated by the ?'zar at th?
1 opening of the Pouma. When the Ger?
mai s entered Warsaw the Kaiser made
a vague proclamation, promising au?
tonomy under German tutelage.
No?* the Polish I'nion, formed of
Polish Deputies to the Austrian Ucichs
rath are up in arms at the idea of any
power other than Austria taking over
?he Polish heritage. As the Polish popu?
lation in Austria is more numerous
than the ruling German population, it?
protest cannot be ignored. This i? one
nu-on why Baron von Burian left post
haate for Berlin. Any ill-considered or
tactless proclamation by Germany
might have disastrous political conse?
quences in Austria. But there i;, little
indication that Germany intends to
have much regard for Austrian or
Pilish sentiment, or to allow any but
German interest? to carry weight.
The "Frar.kfuru-r Zeitung," under
government inspiratio i. state? the case
for Germany to-day with brutal frank?
ness.
"One must not forget," it writes,
"that I'??land did not free herself, but
' that a German army captured Warsaw,
th ; city chosen by the Polei for their
capital. There is no doubt that the
Poles deiira 'he union of the Polish
kingdom with Germany resurrected.
How far this desire il shared b]
! man statesmen we do not know, but
von Bethmann-Hollweg il certainly con?
vinced that jus? as we cannot assure
the freedom Of the seas by treaties and
, ions, neither can we settle the
Polish problem by the recipe of Polish
leaden in tha Au ti an R? cl irath. We
certainly did not make war and the ter
rible ?* ? entailed for nothing,
an ! th?' Koseiusako sentiment is fin?
ished for good.
"We will in this matter be guided
. exclusively by our own interests and
r*i!i take aucn f
,i futura. When the
Polish party in the Austrian Reichsrath,
inly was not
?i?, manda that this In?
: be projet-:? : ?
be given i*s national and political free?
dom tir.d?'r Austrian protection, it de?
mands not only the fruits of our vic?
tory, but it Itretchei out its hands to
ian provinces like Si
Weil Prussia and I'1
"The time is not yet come for a solu?
tion of the Polish problem. It is cer?
tain that when the Polish party ;
re shall also pose oui s and
reject theirs with nil necessary vigor, if
only because behind the Polish problem
i)-?-re are a!s,, tha Galicien,
an I Ukraine problema, and because the
legend of an indivisible Polish kingdom
is a menace for Germany and doei not
the guarantee! demanded by the
Ka ser, the Chancellor and the ni.tion."

lier.
That was the ceremony that was re
! fourteen times right ??own the
line to th.' last man. M. Millerand
then mounted the steps of the Ministry
nnd mude a short speech, in which he
prai td the officers for what they had
und exhorted thtm never to for?
get that Frunce must always be first
in all things. In fifteen minute? th?
whole affair was over and M. MiHorand
was disappearing into the Ministry,
while the officers stood once more at
the salute and the drums ruffled an?l
bugles blared. The big gates were
thrown open and the officers an?l men
d'spersed casually, but all with the
h ok and feeling of intense satisfac?
tion.

to the Legion of Honor, and only the
highest officers revive the
Cross. And '.her? is the Medaille Mili?
taire, which is giv ?!?. only to private
?rs and no-: oned officers
and commissioned officers of th?? very
highest rank. Captains and colonels
