GRITTY GERMANS MEET
 REPULSE AFTER REPULSE
 FROM THE ALLIED ARMIES

identica! with those of the allies. They say Go decision has been reach ed but the allies power is weaken ing, that the French attempt to break their right failed that in the center the Germans are gaining ground slowly and that the Verdun sallies wele repulsed. It would seem from all this, the commanding gen. erals have rot yet found the weak point in their opponents dis positions, each withholding his determined blow for the right moment. The Germans having reached selected positions in which they are. strongly fortified, appear to have the advantage, according to military critics, but for the fact that they must defend their whole front to make good their retirement should their attack fail or a smash ing blow from allies break their line, while tie Anglo French forces are free to mass at any point.
 It is uncertain where Gen. Joffre will direct his assault While armies forming to his left are pressing the German right wing it is thought quite f probable he is planning to attempt to cut through the German front somewhere north of Verdun and thus drive the armies of the German | crown prince and the Duke of Wuertemburg, and Generals Von l Hause, Won Kluck and Won Buelow westward and sever their communi- cation with the Rhine through Lux emberg and compel them to rely on | the lines running into Belgium which force operating on the border as well as by the Belgian army.
 l The Germans are reported prepared Ito offer a tremendous resistance to such a move. They are not only in strong positions where achievements of men, munitions and provisions can reach them easily, but they have ad- ditional defended positions to fall back on if necessary.
 1 It is reported the Germans are concentrating transport trains on the iLuxemburg frontier to enable them to move troops eastward should they so desire. This leads some military observers to believe the Germans have decided to remain on the de- | fensive in the west while they are sending their main army east to con front the Russians. Apparently they are concentrating their western armies for, with the exception of oc- Icasional Uhlan troops Northwestern | aIo 1f I,n Germans The Calais and Boulogne routes to Paris have been reopened. One of these Uhlan patrols was caught by a British armored motor car in command of Commander Sam son at Doullons on the main road north of Amiens a few days ago and four out of five men were killed. Other Uhlans were wounded or cap tured. Commander Samson is one of the most efficient of the navy's flying men, many of whom are now working with the army His exploit ishows that the British like the Ger mans, have armored cars with which to chase scouting parties.
 The Russian army now in Galicia
 will be left there to complete it's
 work for. according to a Rome dis
 patch, an army of 90O.000 Russians
 is marching into central Poland fol-
 lowed by another army of 2,000,O00
 while third army. also aggregating 2,000, 900, is coming from more dis
 tant regions, and will reach the front lin October
 While these numbers are enormous they are considered probably fair
 estimate of what Russia will soon
 said she will soon have seven million
 have available for her war It is
 men on the move While continuing
 the offensive in Galicia, Russia is
 standing on the defensive on the
 East Prussian frontier and her army
 has been driven byck by the Ger
 mans This army, however, is said
 to be intact.
 There was a remarkable scene to- day in the house of commons after
 the signing of the home rule bill by
 King George For the first time, as : far as can be recalled, members oi , the house sang God Save the King , and natonalists who had previously refralned from S1nglng the ndtiond
 anthem. joined in. Another precen
 will be broken when Premier AS. Quith and John Redmond, Irish lead
 CT, address recounting meetings il
 Ireland and still another when thu
 Irish legion, which the nationalist are forming, fights under the Britisl flag. There have been many 1risl , legions, some of which fought ol
 French soil, but with one exception
 never under the flag of Britain.
 Reports from Petrograd say tn s Russian pursuit of the Austrians con tnues and the Russians have gaine z important successes over the Austria . rear guard. Conveys of two arm . corps with thirty guns, ammunitio
 and five thousand prisoners are re : ro-ted overrun with Cossacks wh . are leading the Russian advance o There are said to be one millio :. Russians in Galicia and half mi
 llion in East Prussia.
