ANY one who viii compare the Official

It may he assumed not only that every-
where tine same effort is being made
but that every point has the same I'M

For Instance. British readers have
probably not thought much about the
geography of the Argonne and the Woeyre,
hut the fact that the French have not only
repealed series Of dangerous attacks on
this side. but have made continuous

But while no report Is worth much

GouLosh Served
byU. S. Best Ever
Hungarians and AuStrians In
London Benefit by Embassy
Arrangement.

I.oSpoN. oct 6.-The United States
Government has gone into the restau-
rant business in this city. Chandler
Hale. who has charge OF the Austrian
branch OF the American Embassy. has
opened an eating house near Charing
Cross which. although intended for Aus
TRANS and Hungarians. served more
than 1000 meals last week. The res,au-
rant was capitalized by Austro-Hun
gary through a contingent fund left by
it's Ambassador before he left this city
and turned over the care Of subjects Of
the Dual Monarchy to the United States
Embassy.
Mr.. Hale says the restaurant has
every one in town beaten for Hungarian
goulash. The idea In establishing the
restaurant was that It would be simpler
and more economical to feed all hungry
Austrians and Hungarians under one
roof than to give them money to buy the
food individually.

BERLIN. October 6.

via wireless 10 SaNNllle, l.. |.
An official statement issued to-day
says.
The general war situation Is Of the
most hopeful character for the Ger
mans and Austrians.
Surprise generally IL expressed OF
the amazing activity OF the German
cruisers stationed abroad Though II
was generally expected that the vessels
would fan easy victims to British war
ships within n fortnight after the dec
laration Of war Germans now are
astonlshed TO learn from reports in the
British and French press OF the damage
they are doing to the merchant marine
OF the enemy.
The Gocben. Breslau. Emden. Karls-
ruhe and the Leipzig are the names Of
the German vessels whose successes
have caused the livellest satisfaction in
Germany. In addition the cruisers
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. stationed I'm
the Pacific are reported to have been
busy in the vicinity ~ Tahiti. Society
Islands. wher" they succeeded in de-
stroying the French gunboat Zelee.
THE German battle cruiser Goe-
ben and the cruiser Brcslau took
refuge In The Dardaneles early in
the war and later. according to an
nOuncements from Turkish official
sources had been sold to Turkey
The attempts Of the Powers compos-
ing the Triple Entente to enforce the
opening of the Dardaneles have failed
The Russian Ambassador at Constan-
tinople is described as being furious on
account of the embargo placed on the
expectation Of Russian grain and on
the importation Of arms
The increased Turkish navy, il Is eX
peCted, soon will be sailing in the Blacl,
Sea. The Turkish press is publishing
attacks upon England because OF the
suppression Of Hhcdival rights in
Egypt"
1t Is stated that the Russians were
completely defeated near Suwalki and
AugustOwo October and g The Ger
mans took 5000 prisoners and cap
tured eighteen cannon and many ma
chine guns.
Neutral correspondents behind the
: French front on the Marine estimate
that the civilian population OF 10. 600. 900
who were expelled from their homes
are now in bitter distress.
The British methods Of warfare have
paralyzed American trade. according to
extensive figures made public here.
Germany buys from the United States
81 800 100000 worth OF goods annually.
and this trade Is entirely shut Off by
highlands arbitrary methods IN inter-
fering with neutral commerce. The
English press seems to be endeavoring
to place the blame for the loss OF
American trade on the Kaiser calling
him the War Lord"
AS a matter OF fact" say the Ger
mans, America can thank British
pirates for the entire injury to her
trade. The only remedy for America
to preserve the greater part of her
necessary commerce with Germany Is
to adopt securities which will end the
plratlCal ways Of England"

LONDON. Oct. g. While official conir-
mation Is awaited OF the repeated re-
ports that Gen. Won Moltke has been
superseded as Chief OF tho German Cen
eral Staff by Gen. Voights-R hetz, Their
are indica tons that the Karer IL no;
pleased with the way things have ben
going and that shifting of important
military heads Is IN progress.
The following changes in the German
STAFF have been announced. according TO
news received at Bordeaux and forwarded
by the correspondent of the Central News.
Gen Won Mogen replaces Gen. Won
Hindenburg In East Prussia; Gen. Eber-
hardt Is appointed Military Governor OF
Strassburg. Alsace -Lorraine Gen. Won
Gerck IL appointed Military Governor OF
tim. Wuerttemberg, and Gen. Lucdtng-
hansen Ia appointed commander at Cob
lenz, Prussia, succeeding Gen. Won Luck
valid
The appointment OF successor TO Gen.
Won Hndenburg in East Prussia Is NOT
regarded az OF significance. since Gen
Won Hndenburg recently was sent 70 tahe
command of the operations about Cracow'
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-10-07

that the Germans in trying 20 stretch their
line similarly will presently get it so
thin that Il can be broken. This IL what
happcnd,d to Lee about Richmond n
1865. on the other hand, II the Germans
can smash through the allied line before
II reaches It's maximum extension and
cut the Paris-Amiens-Ar ras railway at
the very least they will interrupt tho
allied operations aUl perhaps gain time
TO collect troops and again restore he
balance as to numbers.
But unless the Germans actually get
TO the allied communications incidental
gains are unmportaut and In the end
IN" allied left will reach Belgium ana
stretch NJ west of the Scheldt and east
Z OSteud toward Antwerp. may threaten
Brussels and COuceivably raise the Siege
of Antwerp either directly pr indirectly,
by compelling the Germans to draw back
troops now before that city to meet tho
continued extension Of the allied left. II
Is to guard against this presumably that
the Germans are now sending their cav
airy toward Lille.
The key to all the present nghtiug in
western France is found I'm the u sition 81
the railway lines on which both COM
batants depend FOR supplies. ON both
sides these lines are now near the battle
line Each commander Is now s;riSing to
reach the communications OF his opponent.
If the allies succeed the GerNSans may
have to leave France. lf the Germans
succeed the allies will probably have to
abandon their present fanking operations.
OF else operate from two bases, Paris for
me right and centre the Channel ports
