The military eXper; Of the Times says
this morning that the balance OF add

Of the last two days is with the allies.
Taking up the Russian successes in East
Prussia the writer says that Gen. Rem
nenkampf's victory over the three Ger
man army corps and the taking of In
sterburg indicates that the Germans have
lost rwo-thirds OF their strength. and IL
may h" presumed that the defence Of
East Prussia has begun 20 collapse. He
expresses the opinion that the German
army corps defeated were the First the
Twentieth and a corps Of reserve divi-
sions. He expects that the Russians will
now invest Kcculgsborg and then win
advance on Danzig.
The defences Of east Prussia. the
writer continues. were prepared years ago
and the country itself is easy Of de-
fence 50 that he concludes that the Rus
SLAMS must nave encountered immense
difficulties in their advance.
In connection with reports that Ger
mans in east Prussia are fleeing the
writer expresses no surprise. He adds
that the "exactions and crueties" OF the

an Engllshman. whose fluent German on

that the behavior of the German soldiers
at BRUSSELS was very frank and friendly
but the officers were carrying the air OF
conquerors to an unbearable extent.
The correspondent confirms the report
that the German movement is all to the
southeastward. toward Lille. Mons and
Maubeuge. He says that the Germans
are wonderfully equipped and every detail
has been attended to. Their system is So
perfect that II was not necessary for them
to appropriate anything for military pur-

The German Embassy here to-day re-

by wireless to the German station at Say

Three dispatches were received two
reported victories for the German forces
and the third stated that Germany has
made no reply to the japanese ultlmatum
The first message Is as follows:
The German guns since Friday eve

During his visit he was informally told by
Mr. Lasnlng of the cal or the japanese

1t was noted that the German dispatches

There is a suspicion here that the Ger
