LONDON, Nov. 11.
The allied forces yesterday gained
ground north of Ypres. while severe
fighting occurred south of that village
without perceptible gain for either side.
The Allies aro now flrnily entrenched In
the village of Ypres itself, from which
they were not driven during the fierce
assaults of the Germans the latter part
of last week, although the Germans on
Saturday advanced so far both on the
north and south cf the town that It
was virtually surrounded by a slender line
of communication extended to the rear.
Tho battle dt Ypres. which began more
than thrte weeks ago with the advance of
the Oerman up tho north bank of the
Tier after the British and Allies had
effected a movement down its south bank,
continues with fury, whlcti has been de
scribed, dally as beyond human endur

on the part of the Germans are always
"followed by a renewal tit their assaults,

WAR MOVES FIND RUSSIAN
AVALANCHE UNCHECKED
Winter Cannot Halt Vast Sweeps of Warring Hosts,
Say Experts Austrians and Germans
' Declared Demoralized.
By GRANVILLE FOXITESOUE
PBTROGRAD, Nov. ll.-Tho Russian
forco has moved across Poland like the
street sweepers of Paris. They have
swept the opposltlng nrmles Into holes
and cornels In their country.
The great demornllfatlon created among
tho Austrian troops has now spread to
the Germnns Tho Russian grand tactics,
which were nn encircling movement on a
magnlflcant scale, have been an unquali
fied success. It Is impossible to say
whether the right or left wing has been
more victorious.
Whllo tho forces moving along the
River Pllltza made the most marked nd
vnnces, the army that crossed tho itlver
San has a larger bag. its prlro wns a
full division with Its complement of gunB.
The Russian Staff attach tho greatest
stiateglc slRiilflcaneo to the victory on
tho San. Their armies had been held up
nt this point far too long. It was Im
possible for the corps on tho Vistula to
push nhead Independently.
At Przemysl ft sufllclent force still In
vests the city, while the operating base
Is established at Tntnow, B0 miles from
Cracow, to tho oast, on a railway running
to Priemysl.
While this force npprpaches Cracow
from tho cast another strong column Is
descending on the fated city from the
north. This army has now reached
Mlcchow.
The sUc of the Russian army permits
this to be done with impunity. This
numerical superiority In tho long run
will give Russia a victory nt every point.
Poland tins been Inundntod with Russian
corps Thus they havo been able literally
to engulf the Germans. Lack of artillery
Is made up In the number of Infantry In
action There Is no better Infantry In tho
world. . ,,
The Russians charge to cortaln death
with songs. All nlong the Russian front
bayonet assaults of the most heroic char
acter have boon ns common ns the artill

On ni riving at the German frontier the
Russian army has a stupendous problem
bufora It. Here the Germnns hnvo per
fected every lino of communication, until
the HUpply of the army moves almost au
tomatically. This means a great advan
tage, but Winter will Improve tho trans
portation conditions for tho Russians. As
soon ns Poland freezes tho problem will
bo simplified.
Under ordinary circumstances the freez

armies should have pushed westward
from Warsaw and Ivnngorod all the
way to tho borders of Silesia nnd Posen
In one week, nnd that the (lrst week In
November, goes far toward upsetting
the traditions which havo long clustered
around tho fatal retreat of Napoleon's
Grand Army from Moscow to the
Bcreslna.
With tho Russians on the border of
Silesia nnd Posen, threatening Cracow
and Brealaii ns well ns the outflanked
provinces of IJnst and West Prussia, no
shift of forces from the East to the
West can be risked. The peril of a
winter Invasion will remain ever present
nnd any weakening of tho caatcrn
armies would merely invite Russia to
brrak Into Posen In fotco and make a
dash for the lino of the Oder River.
Activo winter operations In enstcrn
Huropo would hot bo without precedent
Napoleon conducted the campaign of
L'ylnu In January and February, the
battlo of Evlau, In East Prussln, being
fought on February 8, 1807 In 1M0 Rus
sia made a winter campaign In llungnry,
overthrowing tho Kossuth republic thero
and restoring Hungary to Frnncls
Joseph. Further south, In tho Russo
Turklah War of 1877-1878, Russia con
tinued operations in tho Balkans
throughout tho winter, and the Balkan
War of 1D12-1.1U, first between the Balkan
Ltnguc States and Turkoy nnd then be
tween Bulgaria and her two former
allies, Servla and Greece, lnsted from
October until the following spring.
The Russians, In fact, are by no means
unnccustomed tn winter campaigning. In
Manchuria In 1901-5 they fought the bat
tlo of Sandcpu against tha .tapancso
aboUt the end of Janunry the mid
dle of a sub-Arctic winter. Their
troops are trnlncd to enduro cold nnd
know how to llvo and get nbout even
when tho thermometer goes below zero.
Moreover, they know how to maintain a
cold weather transportation and rom

Poor toads disappear nftor nnow cov
ers the ground and swnmps and rivers
can be crossed without difficulty. Largo
parts of Poland aro nearly tmpasstblo
In tho spring nnd fall, but In winter
sleighs and sledges can go anywhere
So far ns transportation facilities arc
concerned, tho Russian armies on tho
Sllcslan border will be better off after
mow comcB thnn they are now, with
only muddy post roads and a few miles
of railroad to depend upon.
It Is a foregone conclusion that the war
will go on In Franco or Belgium, winter
or no winter. In tho Frnnco-Gcrmnn
War of 1870-71 operations In Franco were
not suspended. Besides, tho enormous
cost of the present war and the vo"st
stakes Involved In It make It necessary
to light on uninterruptedly. If It wns
Germany's hopo to got a respite on the
east front whllo continuing the struggln
In tho we,st, thnt hopo has been utterly
dashed by tho retreat from Warsaw. Tho
Russians aro now hi a position to keep

Czar to say what courso the eastern'

LONDON, Nov. 11.
England must triumph In the war with
Germany regardless of any sacrifice that
the gaining of final victory will demand.
This was tho message conveyed to Par
liament today by King George In his
speech, which provided tho chief feature
when tho House of Lords and tho House
of Commons reconvened.
The King appeared careworn as he as
cended tho throne. Ho Impressed upon
the Lords nnd Commons tho serious bus
iness nhead of the Empire, and declared
thnt only war measures would bo sub
mitted during the present session.
"Tho energies nnd sympathies of my
subjects throughout the Empire are con
centrated upon tho prosecution to a vic
torious Issue of the war In which we aro
engaged," tho King said. "Wo havo sum
moned you because duty Is paramount,
and It Is of supremo Importance that you
tako whatever steps aro needed for Its
adequate discharge.
"Throughout tho area of conflict our
army and navy contlnuo to maintain their
glorloQu traditions. Wo watch their
steadfastness and their valor with thank
fulness nnd pride. Throughout the Em
pire there Is n fixed determination to se
cure, nt whatever sacrifice, tho triumph
of our nrms and vindication of our cause
"Tho only measures to bo BUbrSlttod this
session aio those necessary for the at
tainment of tho great purposo upon which
tho efforts of the Emplro are set."
"Bad counsel nnd alien Influences hav
ing driven Turkey to a policy of wan
ton defiance, an nggrcsslvo stnto of war
low exists between us. My Mussulman
subjects know well that the rupture with
Turkey was forced upon me ngnlnst my
will. I rccognlzo with appreciation nnd
grutltudc the proofs they have hastened
to glvo of their loyal devotion and sup
port." Tho signs of war were evident every
where at tho assembling of Parliament
Khnkl-clad members of the House of
