By a LONDON EXPERT

LONDON, Nov. 3.
1t is questionable whether the kind OF
fighting In which the Germans are now
engaged is suitable to their troops.
Even in 1870, despite greatly superior
forces, the Germans found frontal at
tacks difficult. They made a speciality
of flank attacks and succeeded again and
again.
There now is no opportunity for the
favorite German tactics and everywhere
they are faced by dreaded parallel
battle and are not making much out of It.
Their losses during the last three months
month, excluding prisoners, and the
collisions with the main Russian forces
only began fortnight ago.
Even IL the allied line were driven back
into France, each part has prepared posi-
tions in the rear where the struggle would
recommonce and the German troops would
have to renew their attacks and continue
their losses against even more solid field
works and obstacles than those now in
their front.
Pursuits in modern war are the most
difficult of all operations, and what the
Germans have to face in France Is n
succession of costly attacks which WILL in
time. wear them out.
They are gambling for success by en-
ploying these new formations so early
in the war and hoping against hope
that victory may shine upon them soon,
but for nearly two months no success
has been gained and, though France is
now honored by the chief attention of
Germany, once more there Is no German
gain to compensate for the reckless and
continuous expenditure OF life.

LONDON, NOV. q.
Every effort is being made TO rush new
troops to the battle front in France and
Belgium. II was admitted at the War
once today that the British troops suf-
fered heavy losses in the battle OF the
User, probably heavier than those of the
French or Belgians, The Belgian troops
are said to have lost between 1900 and
1900 men.
The great losses of the British are said
to be due TO the fact that the Germans
concentrated their artillery fire on the
English troops whenever possible This
theory is borne out by the following dis
patch from a correspondent at Calais;
THE British army has encountered an
historic ordeal In checking the German
attempt TO advance on Calais. But the
Umpire should know that the victory at
Ypres has been purchased at a price
higher than previously recorded in Brit
tsh history.
"The cream of our army suffered and
the gap must be quickly filled II the Ger
man repulse is TO be turned to good ac-
count Every time we advance the Ger
mans seem to slacken their fire on our
Allies and concentrate their entire atten-
tinn to our troops

half a million Germans opposed TO them

Of the final result.
The German attempt to advance to the

Many Germans actually were drowned;
their artillery was mlred and their am

the combined British and French artil-
lery cut loose on the trapped columns.
The number slaughtered will never be

NEW YORK, Nov. 3-Russin will have
the dominant say in defining the attitude
of the allied Powers toward the Turkish
Grand Vizicr's offer of apologies for the
acts of war of the Turkish fleet. This
is so, not because Russia and Russian
dignity have been exclusive sufferers of
the Black Sea bombardment, but because
II is possible for Petrograd to make use
OF the incident to realize the long de
ferred Sav ambition to occupy Constan-
tnople.
Russia alone among the Allies has
urgent national reasons for desiring
Turkeys entrance into the war, In order
that the Turkish Empire may be parti-
toned after the war ends. The other
Allies cannot oppose Russia's desires now,
nor would It be polite for them to urge
their own views concerning Turkeys in
tegrity at this juncture.
The question Is one for the Petrograd
Government to decide practically for it.
self For Slav diplomacy, or the diplomacy
Of any modern Power, the issue is ex-
tremely difficult 1t takes this form: Do
Russia's national interests outweigh the
arguments which require that 1t divert
none of its offensive strength from carry
ing forward its part of the allied plan
of campaign.
Commercially Russia's full future ex-
pansion is bound up with the acquisition
of Turkish open ports Do the moral
obligations which Russia owes its allies
outweigh the duty Russian statesmen owe
to the development of Slav trading in
terests? This question is now paramount
at Petrograd. with It is associated the
fact that 1t was primarily Frances rec
ognition of its honorable duty which
plunged the Allies into the war to sue
cor Russia.
Ought Russia, therefore, to employ tho
undoubted power It now possesses to di-
vert part of its offensive for use against
Turkey; that IL. to further its own eX-
elusive interests?
The apology of Turkeys Grand Vizier
probably is not representative of the at
titude OF the Turkish Government. In
this case there really is no Turkish Gov
ernment. Instead, there are two cliques
at Constantinople, one favoring Germany
and the other believing war against the
Allies will end in Turkeys ruin. The
Grand Vizier's apology doubtless is no
more than a public lntimaton that If

Field Marshal Sir John French now has
100000 British soldiers under his command

Is expected that his army will consist OF

Besides the men on the firing line there
are also auxiliary troops doing service at

the Belgian frontier and in Belgium it.

conjunction with the French troops under
command of General Joffre
Virtually all the British soldiers doing
service on the Continent now have seen
great deal of service, and many of them
are hardened veterans of 10 or IL years
active service in Great Britain's little
wars in various parts of the world. When
the present war broke out many soldiers
who had seen service but who had re-
tired re-enlisted and filled up the gaps.
In n general way 1t is possible to state
how many men are engaged along the
entire 30O-mie Belgian-French front
Officials attached to the French War
Office say that the Germans have l750,OO0
men i'm Belgium France and along the
German frontier in Switzerland.
The French and British in the same re-
gions have, according to the same au-
thorities. 100000 men more than the Ger
mans, or about 2,250000.
Large bodies of terrtorials are ex-
pected to arrive on the Continent before
December I, and they will be put in
Field Marshal Frenchs command. They
include British and native troops from
india part of the garrsons at Malta and
Gibraltar and Australian, Canadian and
New Zealand detachments.
1t Is not thought that the army OF
100000 men which Is being formed in
England will be ready for service until
the spring, as Lord Kitchener has no in
tentlon of using them until they are
highly trained In spite of the military
estimate of the time when these troops
will he ready for service. 1t is said now
that the first men who responded 20 the
call are so intelligent and their training
is progressing so rapidly that they may
be ready several months before It was
thought probable.
Among them are nearly 100000 trained
soldiers, some of whom have served in
the army for upward of ten years. The
presence of these men will have an ad-
mirable effect upon the men recruited
from civil life Then there Is another
large group. whose members have served
for varied periods in the militia.
Men not physically capable are being
weeded out of the new army rapidly. The
recruits put in n great deal of time shoot
ing ut targets, and the rifle ability of the
men is improving rapidly.
