Contradictory Reports Made Leaders In Disputes.

The war dispatches smack of some lack of reliability. Dispatches from Amsterdam and London are directly contradictory. From the former comes the report that the Russian attack has resulted in a great failure and that the Austrian lines are unbroken and the czar has lost 76,000 men. The London' dispatches report that the Germans have evacuated the fortress at Lutsk. England hears that .the Germans have about 320,000 troops massed along the* Greek border, while the Turks have 400 machine guns and a large number of troops ready to assist if the advance is made against Saloniki. ••
