All remaining Sum mer All remaining Wash Skirts at All remaining Wash Waists at A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR The retirement of the allied armies from Belgium and the realignment ol their forces on French soil marked the beginning of the week. This was done after a three days' battle in which the Germans had succeeded in breaking through the line of the allies. The French line in the neighborhood of Luneville broke, and the Germans occupied that town and several others In that vicinity. They claim that they captured 150 cannon and many pri3 ouers. During the week the campaign In Alsace-Lorraine, where the French have taken the offensive, ebbed and flowed, the French claiming to have made consistent progress toward Strassburg, while the Germans claim a victory at Metz. The censorship does not permit any knowledge of the number of men engaged, here or else where, to become known, hence only a general notion of the situation la available. Judging from the slow but sure progress the Germans havo made through Belgium it is to be assumed that the Germans, commanded by the kaiser himself, have several millions of men on the battle line. This Is so many more than have ever before en gaged in a similar conflict that no comparison Is possible. It is known, however, that the kaiser has massed his whole strength on the French frontier for a decisive blow and If it fails the German cause will be In a bad way, because the Russian army of several millions of men is at the back door of Germany, if not already well on Its way toward Berlin. Austria is also being Invaded. On the north she faces the Russians and on the south the Servians and Montenegrins have achieved a series of successes, the latest of which is said to have been the repulse of the Austrian army of 110,000 men with a loss of 25,000 killed, wounded and prisoners, and 40 or 50 cannon and great quantities of munitions and supplies. When Russia began to threaten Austria from the north Austria with drew her regular army from the Servian frontier and replaced it with reservists, sending the regulars to op pose the Russian invasion. It is these reservists who have been defeated and if their defeat Is as complete as repre sented It would appear that Austria Is open to attack from the south by any one of her numerous enemies. The Servians and Montenegrins will doubt less press home their advantage, and If Italy should join In the struggle against the German-Austrian coalition, as seems possible, she will probably take advantage of the opportunity to seize additional territory along the Adriatic. The ultimatum served upon Ger many by Japan n week ago has ex pired and as Germany lias made no reply Japan Is doubtless moving al ready to enforce her demand for the elimination of German inlluence in the Far East. Her first task will bo the reduction of the German fortifications at Kiauchau. France and Knglnnd have decided to advance 500,000,000 francs to Bel gium, half of the amount to be fur nished by each of the two countries. The United States senate passed the emergency war risk marine Insurance bill after only two hours debate. The bill carries an appropriation of $5,000, 000 to insure American vessels and their cargoes against lubs by war. Austria has culled for every male between tho uges of nineteen and sixty to enter the army Immediately. Austria has 3,000,000 men not hither to called to the front. , M'REYNOLDS NOMINATED President Promotes Attorney General to Supreme Court Bench.
