North of Arras, tho Germans are main

According to reports, the Germans arc

The Germans have an lmmenso amount

as to where the Invaders are getting all

Pushed Back to Their
Original Battle Line From
Lyck to Biala.
PETROGRAD, Nov. 6
Fresh German offensive with forces re
organized behind entrenchments on the
East Prussian border has been repulsed.
It Is officially announced that the Ger
mans nre again withdrawing Into Httst
Prussia It Is declared that they are
moving toward their original battle line
between Ljck nnd Blnla.
The ofilclal statement says:
"In liast Prussia there has been a sharp
collapxo In tho Gorman operations. They
havo abandoned their steady offensive
and bognn a rapid retreat."
A change has been noted stneo No
vemtor 3 on the East Prussian front
where the onemy, which recently had
been on the offensive everywhere, has
begun to fall back at certain points.
This retreat Is precipitate on the left
wing of the onemy, which wns vigorously
thrown back toward Biala and LVck.
Russian troops took Bakalarjevo, cap
turing a large quantity of arms and am
munition and making prisoners of a Ger
man company.
The position of the defending army in
nast Prussia makes tho problem before
tho German strategists only more hope
less. It urgently needs large reinforcements,
but the Thorn garrison and the Saxon
troops aro the only vlslblo armies which
can save tho defenders of Silesia from
a disastrous retreat toward the border.

WAR MOVES OF DAY FIND
RACE TO CRUSH TURKEY
Allies Make Dash to Seize Constantinople to Prevent
Russian "Grab," Says Expert Failure of German
Campaign in Russia.
By J. W. T, MASON
NEW YORK, Nov. 5 Great Britain's
declaration of wnr on Turkey shows It
Is believed hopeless to rely on the peace
party nt Constantinople holding tho pro
German Toung Turks In check. Under
these circumstances, and with Russia
forcing the lighting along tho Caucasian
frontier, Great Britain's quick assumption
of the offenshc contains ndvantngeotia
possibilities.
Without suggesting rivalry In Russia It
Is probable that thero will be In reality

By HILAIRE BELI.OC
LONDON. Nov. 5 The objective nf tho
German campaign In Russia has failed,
Just as tho objective dollberatoly under
taken by Germany In France has thus far
failed.
The Germans have encountered numer
ical forces greater than their own In
Russia and In Franco. But nolther the
Russian army nor tho French army has
been nble to forco the German army to a
decisive battle.
The Nlemon River Is the great natural
obstacle to nny Invasion of Ruisla from
tho West When Napoleon was occupied
In re-crectlng Poland as a nationality,
he had Imposed upon tho Russians tho
Nlemon as a frontier between Russia and
Poland, though, as a matter of fact, tho
Polish nation extends Its territory far
to the east of that river.
It was ncross the Nlcmen that Napoleon
marched his great forco in Juno, 1812, and
ono might almost say that the Nlemen
was to the fortunes of Russia In history
what the Meuso Is to the fortunes of
Trance. To obtain possession of this
river and Its crossing places, then, was
tho object of the German ndvanco In this
quarter. All tho country between the
East Prussian frontier and the Nlemen
(a matter of over CO miles oven at the
narrowest point between tho two lines-In
this region) Is a mass of water and wood
and marsh.
Tho few roads available to an army
In Its advance upon the Nlemen are hero
of capital Importance.
Tho Russian General Rennenkampf, re
treating from before the German nd
anco, got his lost troops ovor the Nle
men and waited the approach of the
enemy to that river. Tho point at which
they proposed to cross, or at least tho
chief of tho several points, was Druss
kcnlkl. They had already thrown their pontoons
across when tho countcr-offenslvo upon
the part of the Russians began. The
opening of It was no more than the shell
ing of the Oerman pontoon bridges as
the Prussians were crossing them. The
next phase after the success of this check
given to tho Invaders was a violent
artillery duel between tho massed guns
of cither army firing from positions fac
ing each other across the river.
In the hope that their artillery had suf
ficiently dominated the enemy's, the Ger
mans two days later began their prepara
tions for a second crossing. This second
attempt was made at tho end of the day;
beforo night It had failed as the first
had. From this check at Drusskenlkl the
Germans fell back upon what has been
throughout nil the Intervening days a re
treat, eometlmeB so pressed ns to Involve
local disasters.
After four days of this retreat, the rear
guard of the German retirement was at
Selny, which means that tho main body
had been covering quite 15 miles a day.
Tho whole business In Its rapidity and
reverse was not unlike the great retreat
which wo call In the West the battle of
Marne. The retreat was also, of course,
being carried out along the whole front.
There are no railways In this belt between
Nlemen and the German frontier.
The decision In this extended action
was reached, however, not In the centre,
but, as seems necessary nowadays In
