A-large Turkish transport was sunk by a French aviator on Aug. 20, the official report says. Other reports say four more Turkish transports have been stink and that the allied cruisers pierced the Dardanelles, smashing a fort. German troops have broken through the Russian advanced positions southwest of the fortress of Brest-Litovsk, according to to-day’s German official statement. A movement of parts of Gen, von Linsingen’s army northward along the eastward bank of the Bug toward the fortress also \is reported.
