Silesia and Alsace IS FIRST TIME SINCE OUTBREAK Up to Present Germany Has Been Fighting in the Territory of Her Enemies, but Is Now Menaced by Armies of Adversaries. Is Report B. AjjeccWlV «.«. Three points stand out in the news of the great war. In Flanders the Ger mans, undaunted by past failures to break through to the Straits of Dover, have launched their expected new at tack. regsrriec by the allies as their supreme effort In Russian Poland the immeuse armies of the Russian Emperor axe pushing forward with surprising speed, threa*?rr.ngs the Germans on Uoire soil. From Tokio comes the re port that ? Japanese army may be sent "O the west to take its part with the British. French anci Belgians in the struggles on he battlefields of Europe Military observers agTee that the war has entered npon a crucial stage r.ud that the next week may mark a definite turn in the course of events. In French opinion the Germans must either win then way to the English v hatmel or fall back. For that reason particular interest attached to to-dav s official French statement, which indi cated the beginning of the onslaught for which the Germans have been pre paring duraig the lull of the last few days. Fresh troops and new gnus front the Krnpp works have been rushed to the ime of battle from Dixmude southward across the French border to Arras. The. Germans have struck their Srst blows at Dixmude and in the region of Ypres. and the French War Office an nounces that their attacks have been repulsed. Slow progress for the allies along the greater part of the line from Dixmude to the Lys is claimed by the French. Over the remainder of the disputed ter ritory across France the situation has not changed materially, although the French report that New German at tacks in Alsace have been checked. The rapid clearing of Germans from Russia Poland has lent to the eastern campaign a decree of interest no less than that which attaches to the fight ing along the west. Official reports from Petrofrad indicate that the vast Rus sian military organization is at least under way i n full force, and that the German and Austrian armies are being opposed with enormous Russian forces. Berlin admits that the Russians are new well beyond the river Warthe, which roughly marks the eastern bound ary of Germany. The Russian advance unless checked may have an important bearing upon the aghtiug in tiie west possiblv com pelling Germany to withdraw "troops irotn Fraace and Belgium. It is suggest ed. however, that Eussia may delay her rorward movement to accomplish her long ciler.shed purpose of swinging down to the B sphorus.' No developments of first importance are reported in the near east. The Bus s:an general staff m Caucasia announces •hat a Turkish attars on the Russian position at Koprakelu was repulsed with ;:eavy losses for the enemy. The Rus sian B.ack Sea flee: has renewed bom- of towns along the coast of Asia Minor. The suggestion that Japan s?ud an army to Europe has not yet taken tangible jonn. but Tofcio reports that *.'.e idea is attracting increasing atten tion aud finds support in military cir cles. The sending "of a Japanese army sn the west would be a movement with out precedent and one which would em phasize the extent of the conflict. Into it already have been drawn Turkos from Africa and the dark skinned sol diers of India. The Panama canal may be put to the usages of war for the first time should reports which reached New York to-day prove true. Seven British warships were said to be on their way to the canal presumably pro ceeding to the Pacific coast of South America to avenge the defeat of the British fleet of cruisers by German war ships. American military observers, who thus far have been unable to view the ''ghting. may now have a glimpse of the war. The French War office has relax :d Its strict orders and will permit ob servers from neutral countries to go to the front. London. Xov. 9. 1.05 P. M.
