The Cologne Gazette, commenting to-

The Days
War NeUs

The campaign In France and
Belgium, commonly regarded
as the main conflict of the
European war seemed to have
entered, at least temporarily.
upon a new phase. For the
time being Germany has relin-
quished the offensive. which he
held so .elentlessly during the
earlier weeks of the war.
A few times since the Euro
pean war began nearly four
months ago have reports from
the various fields of battle,
scattered from the North sea to
the western fringe of Asia been
so incomplete and confusing as
was the case today. So far as
could be learned from official
announcements there was little
change in the alignment of the
opposing forces in any quarter,
Notwithstanding the fact that
operations of the highest inn
portance were under way.
The situation in Russian Po-
land, at present the scene of the
most important conflict, has be-
come one of the most puzzllng
phases of the war.
An official Austrian state
ment says the fighting has as
sumed the character of q contin-
uous battle. In Western Cali
cia, It is said, the Russians have
been repulsed by the Austrians.
Latest advices from Berlin state
that the outcome has not yet
been decided. although partial
German victories are reported.
Opposed to this are the unof-
fetal statements from Petro-
grad, Paris and London, that
Germany has been defeated de-
cisively, and Earl Kitchener's
announcement in Parliament
that Germany has suffered the
greatest reversal OF the war. For
nearly a week these claims have
been made with the utmost con-
fidence. yet the Russian war Of
flee withholds any word of de-
cislve developments.
In some particulars similar
situation prevails in the west.
London expected this week
would witness one of the most
important and deadly struggles
of the war as result of a re-
newed German effort to break
through to the English channel.
Official statements, however, in
dicate that only sporadic fight
ing is in progress and as to the
results there Is no reconciling
the reports from Berlin and
Paris.
