LONDON. Sept. 1G. - The allies
for the moment have retrieved their
prrilous position and have turned
the tables on the invaders but the
next move is with the Germans whose
armies are in still great force and on
a ground more or less selected By
themselves.
The debaclc for its seems nothing
else in the Austrian army, means,
that Germany will have more and
more, to reply mainly on herself
Hcncc there will be Il greater inter
dependence OF events in the eastern
and western field of operations.
What new forces Germany can put
into the campaign in the western
area must hencerorth depend in
greater measure upon how far she
can neglect the Russian movement
on Brcsluu, tho capital of the Prus-
ian province of Silcsia, 100 miles
southeast of Berlin.
According to reports today Empe-
ror William himself has gone to East
Prussia to take chief command OF the
German armies opposing the Rus
sian invaders!
There is the usual diversity oi
stories today regarding the Austro-
Scrvian operations. The Austrian
general staff claims to have driven
the Serbs out of the province of Banat
and from the eastern district OF S!a-
vonia. The Servians. however. here
tofore have shown marked capac-
ity for rcappearing in the same o.

u LONDON, Sept. 1G.--The center of
interest in the western theatcr OF
war has shifted from the right wing
of the German army under Gen. Won
Kluck to the left wing where the re
lief of Troyon by the French Is re
garded In London as leaving the army
OF the German Crown Prince Fred
elick William apparently in dan
perous situation.
AS had been predicted In England
the French have retaken Rheims but
Z this step is OF greater moral than
stragetical value, for the line to the
northeast OF this town provides a
better defensive positions for the Ger
man forces than does the front OF
sRheims.
According to advices received her"
from Berlin the demand for news In
Germany where the peopl" appear TO
he growing impatient has been sootIl-
cd to a certain extent by the r"aS-
surfing statement from the general
staff that the German lines are hold
ing out successfully against the OIL
fensive movement of the allies. so
Ear as the last "a hours are concern
cd, this afternoon, agrees with news
received, in London with the cXceN-
tion of that regarding the German
left wing.
This part Of the line Judging from
dispatches made public in London
appears not only to have withdrawn
from the Investment of Nerdun. but
by permitting the relief Of Troyon
which is IL miles southeast OF YER
dun, to have left itself only one line
of retreat. This is through til
stenay gap to reach Luxembourg or
by the Longuyen aud Longwy to
reach ThiouyIlle.
II the allies are able to prevent the
army OF the German Crown Prince
from using Metz as base of opera =
lions, 1t is felt in London that the
German left wing would be in as
serious a situation as was the right
wing last week.
Expert military observers in Petro-
grad have declared that the Russian
Investment of Koenigsburg and Cen.
Ranncnkamp's foray into east Prus-
sia were planned. with deliberate at
tempt, Of compelling Germany to de
tach some forces from France to the
relief of her east Prussian frontier
In Petrograd military critics united
in characterizing this maneuver as
brilliantly successful, so much so III
fact, that the salvation of the allied
forces in the west was undoubtedly
due to Germany having sent severa!
of her best army corps to East Prus-
sfa. With this work apparently ac-
complished it is predicted in Englann
today that Russian forces investing
Koenigsburg together with Gen. Ran
nenkamp's army will be withdrawn
within the Russian border.
II it is a fact that German allies
