~ J. w. II. MASON

NEW YORK, Nov. IS. - General Won
Iindenburg undoubtedly Is experiencing
much difficulty in rearranging his battle.
His road TO Warsaw Is blocked along the
northern and southern railway lines ana
his hanks are threatened by superior
numbers Nevertheless, the Petrosrad
belief that the Germans are again re-
treating to their own frontier is with
cut any substantiating evidence There
are indications that reinforcements are
being hurried to Won Hindenburs' ana
until these arrive II is probable the Ger
mans will not renew their drive. At
present they are on the defensive, waiting
their turn to strike.
The conditions confronting Non HIN
denbura are so unfavorabln sor success,
theoretically, that IL seema as II 1t were
a useless waste Of human hfe TO UNDER
take the capture of WaSsaw. me pasic
objective Of the Germans, however, is
not Warsaw
In reality Won Hindenburg Is not ac-
tuated by motives of offensive strategy
at all, but by defensive considerations
His dominating purpose Is to prevent the
Slavs invading eastern Germany. IL
would be impossible for the Germans per
fnanettlN
Russians too greatly outnumber them.
Indeed the Germans probably would not
quarter large force In Warsaw even IL
they captured II, for fear IT would pe-
come a second Sedan. Nevertheless
Warsaw serves as sort of target, pro-
viding something definite at which the
Germans can aim.
The Germans believe that despite the
enormous numbers OF Slavs available for
service exhaustion will more
quickly overtake the Russian Army than
any other in Europe. 1t is considered
certain In Germany that the Russian out
put of arms and ammunition is running
far behind the demand and that the spirit
Of officers and men can be worn down ~
continual harryins of drives through
Poland.
Viewed in this way it would not be
German defeat If Won Hindenburg werc
forced back again to the frontier, pro-
vided he could use his own strategic rail-
way system for another concentration |
ard another adventurous march toward |
the Vistula Repetition of this process
s likely to have a pronounced effect on |
The Slavs. impressing on them the great |
difficulty OF penetrating any appreclable
distance into German territory. Won |
Indenburg is trying TO produce this state

This belief will play into the hands of

ople the prime Russian objective OF the

lg on such a development coming to

GERMAN ATTACK ON AISNE
DRIVEN BACK BY ALLIES

wing say that the bombardemnt OF the
German positions at Arnavile, 10 miles
from Metz, Is being continued.
From north of verdun and south Of
Metz the German line extends in a
wedge into the verdun-Toul defenses OF
the French. The two sides Of the wedge
are Joined in the region of Chauvencourt
and st. Mihiel. where desperate fighting
has occurred during the last week. II
was at ChauvonCourt that the French
suffered heavy losses through explosion
of German mines. The French have
been unable to drive the Germans from
the positions they now hold I'm this dis
trict. and the movement upon Arnayille
is evidently a Tightening of the circle
which the French are endeavoring to
drive about st. MihieI.
Heavy cannonadng continues on the
western end of the long line across
France and Belgium. New inundations
nave Hooded out the Germans in some
sections, but back OF the lines the enemy
ls now able to move heavy guns to bet-
ter advantage. the cold weather having
frozen the ground
1t Is believed that in view of the gen
eral nature of a siege which the opera
uons IN Flanders have assumed, some
way OF heating the trenches will have IA
pc found when winter sets in in earnest
In the German ranks there Is said 10

PARlS, NOV. 26.
Unofficial reports from West Flanders
declare that the Allies have recaptured
~ town OF Dixmude. which was oc-
cGniad by the Germans two weeks ago.
These reports. however, are not con-
lrmed by the official communque issued
y the French War ONCE this afternoon,
which says that there were no important
movements yesterday. although the Allies
lines had been advanced at several points.
The statement Is as follows:
~ The day Of the 2dth of November has
neen noted by "A total absence of i'm

nothing had been heard OF the operations
OF this force, Indicating that its advance
mad been checked by the Germans The
ofhcial news that the French artillery is
shelllng ArnavllIe between 10 and is miles
from Metz, shows that the German de-
tenders In that region have lost ground
Despite the severe weather at the east
ern end OF the battle front, the French
are still eNertlng vigorous pressure
against the German defenders.
" Arnaville falls the French will likely
be able to push forward to n point where
they can begin the bombardment Of the
outer ring Of forts at Metz. on the other
hand. the Germans may try to begin an
offensive In that region, but they cannot
do this without reinforcements. The
troops west and south of Metz have al
ready been weakened by the transporta-
tion Of soldiers into the northern sphere,
and 1t Is difficult to see how the army Of
Metz can be stlffened at present.
GERMANS MASS AT YPREs.
The German troops facing the English
at Ypres have now been strengthened by
the arrival of heavy detachments of re-
Inducements and developments may be
expected from that region Immediately.
From Furnes comes report that the
Germans lost heavily In the lombard
ment Of Heebrugge by the British war

"In Galicia the Russians are success

object Of keeping the main Russian force

These Austrisns shared the fate OF all
