BACK BY A! LIES
this district are being manned by Gor
man naval forces, so that every fighting
man in the Infantry ranks may bo froe
to defend tho trenches or take part In
the furious charges which mark the
fighting here.
The nrtllli r duel which Is proceeding
nlong tho banks of the canal oT La Ilasseo
Is said to bo one of the most terrific In
tho history of modern warfare. The big
guns aro In action day and night.
Determined attacks are being dlrcctei
against tho line of tho French and Urltlslt
around Alx-La-Nnulctte, a vlllano at the
foot of a chain of wooded hills com
manding the road from Arras to Uelhune.
The village has been nearly wiped out
by the German shells.
Near Lons, Vlmy and Don tho roar of
artillery Is Incessant. It would appear
from tho number of big guns that the
Germans have transported to that region
that they hope to turn the battle of tho
North Into tliolr favor iitn ennnon.
The French nrtlllory Is outnumbered,
but tho German Infantry and cavalry aro
In less forco than those of tho Allies.
BRITISH STAND FIIIM.
"The British soldiers on tho lino from
Ypres to the Lys are showing an ob
stinacy worthy of Waterloo," declared
one wounded officer from the front.
Tho Indian troops, who are lighting on
tho northern lino, are winning plaudits
by their valor, but they havo lost
heavily. But, whllo tho Allies aro los
ing heavily, tho German losses aro more
severe. Every day roporta aro received
of GOO being killed In a night attack, of
4000 railing In an attempt to laKc n
Brltlih trench In close formation. It Is
tho same story overy clay; the talo of
tcrrlblo German losses duo to their own
bravery or tho sacrifices of their olllcers.
Tho ground over which tho struggle In
the north Is progressing Is historic. Not
far from AIx-la-NouMto stands tho oak
under which tho Groat Condo stood dur
ing the battle of LcnB In 1C4S, In which
his forces defeated tho army under Arch
duke Leopold.
IlIIEIMS MAYOB DECOItATED.
Premlor Vlvlanl has conferred tho dec
oration of tho Legion of Honor upon tho
Mayor of Bhelms for tho bravery ho
showed whllo tho city was being bom
barded by tho GormanB. The Premier has
paid a visit to Bhelms to ascertain the
extent of damage dono by the German

field of Waterloo and enough coment hoa
been brought Into tho country to solidify
the crust or all Belgium. East of Brus
sels behind the lines of Iron and con
crete, the Germans will attempt to re
cuperate while, they hope, the Allies will
exhaust themselves In repeated attacks.
"We must go back, but nevertheless wo
shall conquer," Is the statement maOo by
a German officer In Belgium, according
to a correspondent of the Telcgraaf at
Sanvancent.
The Germans, says the correspondent,
are persistently reported as retreating to
ward Antwerp, and troops stationed at
Salzaeto are reported to have been trans
ferred by transport to the left bank of
the Terneuz-on-Ghent Canal.
British patrols reached a point three
miles from Bruges last Saturday.
German aviators and the wounding of
six others by hostile airmen.
Discussing the situation In Belgium and
France, Major Moraht, military corre
spondent of the Tageblatt, says that the
latest Information shows that an attack
on a largo scale along the coast against
Dunkirk H impracticable, but declares
that the situation Is equally hopeless for
the Allies' left, which has repeatedly
tried to force the Germans back upon
Antwerp and render the position between
Lille and Arras untenable.
The Germans, he adds, are now ahle
to use tho troops from tho Yser district
elsewhere, and need only small forces to
check any enterprise along the dunes,
artillery preparations between the Ostend
Holland frontier being sufficient to re
pulse any attempts to debark an expedi
tion against the German rear.
A decisive struggle on this wing, he
continues, is progressing around Ypres,
which is now enveloped from the east,
south and southwest, and he declares
that the Allies' retirement Is practicable
only in northerly or westerly directions,
and that an attempt to break through the
strong forces in the region of Lille would
be fruitless. The Allies will have held
Ypres to no avail If the German advance
on the front between La Bassee and Ar
ras continues.

of the cargo of the American liner Kroon

In point. All three vessels, it has been
previously announced, were released by
the British, although the Kroonland'a

Russian Battle Line, 3,000,
000 Strong, in Double
Drive on Berlin Through
East Prussia and Silesia.
rETItOOnAD Nov. 9.
Tho Russian battlo front, containing
nearly 3.000.000 men, Is a straight line
again. Tho German advance, whlrh bent
tho llusslans back nearly to Warsaw and
Ivangorod, has been driven bock across
tho Wartho Blvcr to tho East Prussian
border.
The full meaning of tho "greatest vic
tory of the war," reported by Grand Duke
Nicholas last week, Is now understood In
l'etrograd Tho success of Russian nrms
Is even greater than was expected by tho
Czar's Government. At every point Ger
man and Austrian forces havo been de
feated and thrown back,
A steady, rapid advanco Into tho
enemy's territory, with simultaneous ad
vances upon Cracow, Breslau and Berlin,
now Is about to begin.
Tho capturo of Crncow Is now regard
ed on a certainty in Petrogrnd.
Tho advance of tho Russians to the
south In Gallcia nnd Bouthwest Polnnd
has been pressed with unrolentlng vigor.
An advance guard U reported to havo
reached tho River Nisrlca, 35 miles from
Cracow. Tho movement hat) cut c tho
Austrian armies operating south of
Przcmjsl and along the River San. With
tho German corps supporting tho Aus
trian iorccs tins army of the enemy Is
estimated at about COO.000.
Two drives nro now being mado by tho
Russians toward Berlin, ono through East
Prussia and another through Silesia, The
advanco In East Prussia continues to
moet with success, tho Russian forces
steadily pressing forward. Tho Russian
front Is now nearly 10 miles within East
Prussia. The enemy has been driven
from Wlrballcn, and tho territory from
Wlrballen to Lyck cleared of tho Kaiser's
troops.
It Is admitted that tho losses In the
great advance havo been heavy. The
equipment of tho Russian forces for win
ter campaigning has bpen a great advan
tage to them over tho Germans however.
Tho suffering In tho ranks of tho enemy
Is declared to havo been terrible. Tho
entlro line of their retreat Is marked by
bodies of unburicd dead. Owing to the
frozen ground, dead wero left unburled
and wounded abandoned on the field died
from cold and exposure.
TRIPOLI MENACED
BY TURKS; ITALY TO
PROTEST TO BERLIN
Garrison Forces Ordered
Back to North Africa Fol
lowing Arab Attacks.
General Revolt Feared.
ROME, Nov. 9.
News from Tripoli that Arabs, aroused
by the Turkish invasion of Egypt, havo
attacked Italian supply columns will lead
to a demand upon Berlin by Baron Son
nlno. Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
Premier Salundra that Turkish aggres
sion In Italy's North African possessions
Bhall cease. The protest will be addressed
to Germany because of the Kaiser's re
cent promise that hla new ally will not
Invade the Italian possessions In Africa.
Governor General Emegllo, of Cyren
alca, has sent an urgent demand for
more troops, in response to which new
forces are being sent to tho garrisons
from which soldiers wero brought but
two months ago In the belief that the
new North African possession was under
control.
It is believed hero that Turkey will
force a crisis In Italy by aggression In
the tatter's colony. Dispatches Indicate
that Bedoulna and Arabs are being in
cited to revolt, and It Is feared that am
bition on the part of Turkey to regain
the provinces recently lost may invplve
Italy In the general conflict.
That such an issue would be welcomed
by the Allies 1b recognized. Whether it
would mean the declaration of a "state
of war" against Turkey or the Joining
of Italy with the allied armies against
Germany will depend upon the policy of
the new cabinet, which Is still a matter
of doubt.

RUSSIAN VICTORY MENACE
TO ALLIES, DECLARES EXPERT
Purpose to Move on Constantinople Will Release Huge
German Force on French and British
West, Says Analyst.
By J. W. T. MASON
NEW YORK, Nov. 9,-The cryptic an
nouncement of tho Grand Duke Nicholas
nt tho end of last week that Russia
had won "tho most Important victory
of the war" In Gallcia nnd Polatd Is
now followed by tho appearance of a
further extract from Ills Highness' state
ment which must excite unoaslness among
tho western Allies.
Tho Grand Duko declares that this most
Important victory of tho campaign "por
mlts our troops to turn to other taskB,
tho Inception of which opens a new
penoa or war."
Theso "othor tasks" must mean some
thing else than tho Russian march on
Berlin, which was the original task set
tho Russian armies In the allied plan
of operations. Turkey's entrance into
wie war wouia provwo Russia with a
new task if It desired to accept it, while
tho easier rood to VIonna than to Borlln
makes still another task possible, It
Russia decides tho time has como for
placing her own exclusive interests
above tho common Interests. of all tho
Allies.
Tho Czar Is understood to havo arrived
at the field headquarters of the Grand
Duko Nicholas, and he doubtless Is ac
companied by hla closest advisers. The
statement of tho Grand Duke about
"othor tasks" Is not n military announce
ment at all, but is a declaration of state
policy. "What It means cannot at present
be Interpreted with certainty, but the
probablo inferenco makes uncomfortable
reading for Russia's western supporters.
It seemi if tho Car and his advisers
hnvo agreed that the temptation to march
on Constantinople must not be resisted,
and "new tasks" In Asia Minor must
receive the chief attention of the Rus
sian General Staff. This is a mora prob
ablo assumption than that a march on
Vienna Is hclng planned as a new task.
Russia seems to bo raying- to Its Atltos
that having Just won the most Important
victory of the war it haa done the chief
of the work assigned to It, and hereafter
the western Allies must look more to
their own might for victory.
Such a declaration by Russia would
mean that the Slav march on Berlin has
been abandoned for the march on Con
stantinople. It does not follow from
this that Russia Intends to abandon
the campaign nlong the German frontier.
To do so would permit the Germans to
overrun Poland. But there seems little
doubt that Russia Is arranging to divide
its offensive strength and to use part of
It for tho Asia Minor campaign. Such a
change in Russian strategy will allow
Germany to use most of Its men against
the Anglo-French and the Belgian armies,
while at the same time preventing a
Russian invasion from penetrating far
into the Eastern Prussian provinces.
The Allies undoubtedly are exerting
pressure on the Czar to Induce him to
fallow out the original plan of cam
paign. It Is necessary, however, that
much delicacy be used, for the Allies
cannot, at any cost, afford to see the
Kaiser's former hypnotic Influence over
the Czar return.
The situation is a grave one from the
Allies' standpoint. If the Czar insists
on going ahead with "the other tasks,"
Germany's objective In persuading Tur
key to enter the war will be realized.

Russian movement, of stupondouu slg
nlflcance, which has been In progress for
somo time. Nows of a brilliant victory
on tho Austrian boundary comes from
high nuthority. It Is tho greatest success
of tho war, tho Russian staff declares.
Tho combined German and Austrian
nrmles havo been dealt staggering blows
along their whole lino of communication,
which Is of vital Importance. It Is pos
sible this battlo will havo its effect on
the lines of tho Allies in Franco and Bel
glum. Whether this will mean activity of an
oirensive nature on tho other side of the
theatre of war I do not pretend to say.
At no ttmo havo conditions been mora
fnvorablo to tho Allies than they are to
day on this side. The Germans are fall
ing back In East Prussia, leaving without
opposition positions that had been strong
ly fortified. Tho Russians have crossed
tho frontier at several points, mooting
with no resistance worthy of thn namo
except at Wlrballcn, on the Gumblnnen
Koenlgsberg Railway.
More Important has been the complete
breakdown of tho German campaign in

They have been bitterly disillusioned In
the matter of loyalty of the ancient king
dom. Instead of being welcomed as lib
erators tho Germans found themselves
everywhere opposed as Invaders.
But even more disconcerting than this
was tho skilful dispositions of tho Rus
sians. When all the details of the opera
tions of the Russian forces in Poland
are known, Grand Duko Nicholas Nlcolale
vltch will be hailed as one of tho greatest
strategists of the period.
The sweep of the Germans across Po
land during the first weeks of October
seemed a march of an irresistible army.
The banks of the Vistula were chosen
as tho battle area. Along a front of 350
miles the Russian divisions assembled,
forming a solid human wall that topped
the banks of the Vistula. Against this
wall the flower of tho German forces
dashed In vain.
A desperate struggle raged for IS days
while the Issue was In doubt The Ger
mans and Austrlans had staked all on
the result of this one contest. At the
outset the enemy Beemed to achieve Boms
success. His guns wero heard In War
saw. It was part of the Russian plan
to abandon the capital If such tactics
would bring the German fish further into
the net being spread for him. As Napo
leon had been lured to Moscow, so would
the Crown Prlnoo and his cohorts be
tempted to Warsaw. Poland is for the
most part a roadless desert waste. What
pass for roads are no more than wagon
tracks.

OF GREED ON CHINA,
CHARGED IN BERLIN
Tsing-Tao's Fall Inspiration
to Draw Chinese Into Wat
and Acquire Large Area
for Territorial Expansion.
BERLIN, Nov. .
Tho fall of Tslng-Tno is declared, In
an ofllclal statemont Issued hero today,
to havo no effect on tho main issue In-
volvod In tho wnr. Tho next develop
ments aro awaited with intense Interest,
however.
It is openly charged hero that Japan
Is attempting to bring China into tho
war In order that a great ellco of
Chlncso torrltory may bo taken for Jap
antao expansion. Japan's implied promise
that It will restore territory of Kiao
Chau to China at the conclusion of tha
war, la declared by tho ofllclal Gorman
nows ngoncy to bo "a puro falsehood."
"Japan Is trying to provoko China Into
hostilities," said a statement Issued by
the nows agency today. "Day by day this
deliberate echemo to despoil a woakor
neighbor has becomo moro apparent Ja
pan has violated Chlncso neutrality and
heaped up insults and Injuries that havo
strained Chlncso patience to tho broaktng
point.
"Tho mllltnry party In China is calling
for war, and at a recent meeting of tho
assembly many of tho leaders urged that
war bo declared. They realized what a
hopeless undertaking it would bo for
China, but declared It would bo batter
to accept defeat than to be continually
Insulted.
"Japan landed troops at Lung-Kow do
splto China's protests. The Japanese
seized 122 mites of tho Shang-Tung Rail
way. Then Japan troops occupied the
railway station of Wol-Hslen. Onco moro
China protested. Japan's answer was an
announcement that it would take all the
Shang-Tung Railway. Then Japan Belzcd
tho Shang-Tung coal field, which had
boon worked with German capital.
"Theso actions by Japan aro wholly
unjustified. Tho railroad and mines aro
private enterprises.
"To operato tho Shan Tung Railroad tha
jjapancso commnndoercd locomotives from
mo iien-i!;sin-iUKOw itnuwa; This waa
another Insult to Ch:.ia.
"From tho noutral territory of China,
Japan has deported German missionaries.
Tho mission com. unds havo been seized
as headquarters for Japaneso offlcers.
"Groat Britain declared war on Ger
many on tho ground that tho latter coun
try had violated tho neutrality of Bel
glum, but British troops havo shared with
Japaneso tho guilt r- violating China's
neutrality. This has caused blttci1 fooling
In Pekln, where It la pointed out that
England has ono code o" conduct for Eu
ropo and qulto a different kind for tho
Orient,"
