"At the end OF the day. referring to
the entire front between Dixmude and
the Lys. we have made progress along
the major part OF the line. Nevertheless,
our advance Is slow on account OF the

The Days
War NetDs

Three points now stand out In
the news of the great war--in
Flanders, Germans, undauted by
past failures to break through to
the Straits OF Dover, have
launched their expected new at
tack, regarded by the allies as
their supreme effort. In Russian
Poland the immense armies of the
Russian emperor are pushing for
ward with surprising speed,
threatening the Germans on home
soil From Toxic comes the re-
port that Japanese army may
be sent to the west to take Its
part with the British, French and
Belgians In the struggle in the
battlefields of Europe.
Military observers agree that
the war has entered upon a cru
cial stage and that the next week
may mark a definite turn In the
course of events. In the French
opinion, the Germans must either
win their way to the English
channel or fall back. For that
reason particular interest at
tached today's official French
statement. which indicated the be-
ginning OF the onslaught for which
the Germans have been prepar-
ing during the lull Of the last few
days.
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
territory across France. the situa-
tlon has not changed materially.
although the French report that
new German attacks in Alsace
have been checked.
The rapid clearing Of Germans
from Russian Poland has lent TO
the eastern campaign degree OF
interest no less than that which
attaches to the fighting in the
west. Unofficial reports from
Petrograd indicate that the vast
Russian military organization is
at last under way In full fo.ce,
and that the German and Austrian
armies are being opposed with
enormous Russian forces Berlin
admits that the Russians are now
well beyond the river Warthe,
which roughly marks the eastern
boundary of Germany.

WASHINGTON, Nov 9.--secretary
Bryan back at the State department to-
day after his campaign trip west, issued
formal statement summarizing the re-
suits of the elections and declaring that
they could not be considered otherwise
than an endorsement of President Wilson
and his policies.
Pointing to the slump of the progressive
vote as the outstanding feature of the
election returns Secretary Bryan said
this had resulted in no change In the
leadership Of the regular republican
ranks; that Senator Penrose and former
Speaker Cannon would represent their
party in congress and the progresslves
returning to that party would have to
accept all they had protested against and
more.

British Experts Say Allies Are
On the Offensive on Both Fronts

in London Is not all wrong, is the most
important OF the campaign up to the
present time.
IL is merely speculation. Of course. to
say that Germany may be forced forth
with to retire from Belgium, or even
cease It's offensive in this arena. In GER
tain areas OF France and Belgium the
allies arc taking a vigorous offensive,
but It Is too early yet to predict that
Germany may not renew Its smashing
tactics in an effort to break through the
limo and that there will not be much
hard fighting around Ypres.
In any event. German retirements from
Belgium probably would be very slow,
AS the forces OF Emperor William have
made the entire country behind their
battle line one vast fortification, with
trenches even more carefully prepared
than those they are still holding in
France.
