RUSSIAN TROOPS
GAIN A FOOTHOLD
ON SILESTAN SOIL
Dash Into Posen Marks First
Advance From East Into
Kaiser's Territory East
Prussia Also Invaded.
PETRoeRAp. Nov. 9.

PETRoGRAD, Nov 9.
The Czar's forces have penetrated into
sllesia, as the result OF their advance
the past week by which the German
army retreating from the vistula was
pushed nearly back to it's own frontiers
and separated near the centre by a
wedgo-like drive.
Russian cavalry has penetrated into
the Province on Posen and cut the
railroad communication from Pleschen.
Just across the border to Posen, capital
of the Province, which is 15O miles from
Berlin.
This operation marks the initial Rus
sian movement into Germany from the
east.
Official announcement was made today
that the German forces which invaded
northwestern Poland had been driven
back into East Prussia. This clears Rus
sian territory of the invading troops ex-
cept the extreme western and south
western part of Russian Poland where
the Germans are striving to hold their
positions against the repeated attacks Of
the Cars army.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
The statement of the General Staff re-
lating to the operations in Poland was as
follows:
"All German troops have been driven
out of Russian territory on the Thorn
front and have retreated
into East Prussia. The enemy's invasion
In this quarter has completely collapsed

soil of Poland has been cleared of the

The Russians have now reached the
crucial stage Of the main march toward
Berlin. The battle front along the west
ern frontier of Poland now extends along
the line from Kalisze Dust inside the

German fortified town of Posen) and
Czenstochow. The line between Kalisze
and Czenstochow has been strongly forti-
lied by the Germans, and 1t is the line
where the Russians expect the Germans
10 make their stand. The Russian plan
of campaign is to prevent them making
this stand.

The Russian cavalry operating around the
German left wing have gone beyond the
German line. Russian cavalry are also
to swing around the German
right wing, and are now swinging south

GERMANY MAKES READY
FOR WINTER CAMPAIGNS

Gennan aviators and the wounding OF
six others by hostile airmen.
Discussing the situation in Belgium and
France Major Moraht, military corre-
spondent of the Tageblatt, says that the
latest information shows that an attack
on large scale along the coast against
Dunkirk is impractlcable, but declares
that the situation is equally hopeless for
the Allies left, which has repeatedly
tried to force the Germans back upon
Antwerp and render the position between
Lille and Arras untenable.
The Germans, he adds, are now able
to use the troops from the User district
elsewhere, and need only small forces to
check any enterprise along the dunes,
artillery preparations between the Ostend-
Holland frontier being sufficient to re-
pulse any attempts to debark an expedi-
tion against the German rear.
A decisive struggle on this wing, he
continues, is progressing around Ypres,
which is now enveloped from the east,
south and southwest, and he declares
that the Allies retirement is practicable
only in nOrtherly or westerly directions,
and that an attempt to break through the
strong forces in the region of Lille would
be fruitlsss. The Allies win have held

JAPANCASTS EYES
OF GREED ON CHINA,
CHARGED IN BERLIN
T sing T ao's Fall Inspiration
to Draw Chinese Into War
and Acquire Large Area
for Territorial Expansion.
BERLIN, Nov. 9.

BERLIN, Nov. 9.
The fall Of Tsins-Tao is declared, In
an official statement issued here today,
to have no effect on the main issue in-
volved in the war. The next develop
ments are awaited with intense interest,
however.
1t is openly charged here that Japan
is attempting to bring China into the
war in order that a great slice OF
Chinese territory may be taken for Jap
anese expansion. Japan's implied promise
that It will restore territory Of Kiao-
Chau to China at the conclusion OF the
war, is declared by the official German
news agency to be "a pure falsehood."
Japan is trying to provoke China into
hostilities," said statement issued By
the news agency today. DAY by day this
deliberate scheme to despoil a weaker
neighbor has become more apparent. Ja-
pan has violated Chinese neutrality and
heaped UP insults and injuries that have
strained Chinese patience to the breaking
point.
''The military party In China is calling
for war, and at a recent meeting of the
assembly many OF the leaders urged that
war be declared. They realized what a
hopeless undertaking 1t would be for
China, but declared 1t would be better
to accept defeat than to be continually
insulted.
Japan landed troops at Lung-Kow de-
spite Chlna's protests. The Japanese
seized 122 miles Of the Shang-Tung Rail-
way. Then Japan troops occupied the
railway station of Wel-Hsien Once more
China protested Japan's answer was an
announcement that 1t would take all the
Shang-Tung Railway. Then Japan seized
the Shang-Tung coal field, which had
been worked with German capital.
'These actions by Japan are wholly
unjustified. The railroad and mines are
private enterprises.
ITO operate the Shan Tung Railroad the
Japanese Communicated locomotives from
the Tien-Esin-Puk Railwa:. This was
another insult to China.
From the neutral territory of China,
Japan has deported German missionaries.
The mission com. unds have been seized
as headquarters for Japanese officers.
Great Britain declared war on Ger
many on the ground that the latter coun-
try had violated the neutrality OF Bel
gium, but British troops have shared with
Japanese the guilt - violating China's

The Russian battle front, containing

border
The fun meaning Of the greatest VIC
tory of the war;" reported by Grand Duke
Nicholas last week. is now understood in
PetroErad. The success Of Russian arms
is even greater than was expected by the
Cars Government. At every point Ger
man and Austrian forces have been de-
feated and thrown back.
A steady, rapid advance into the
enemy's territory, with simultaneous ad-
vances upon Cracow, Breslau and Berlin,
now is about to begin.
Inc capture Of CraCow Is now regard
ed as certainty in Petrograd.
The advance Of the Russians to the

An advance guard Is reported TO have
reached the River Nlszica, 30 miles from
Cracow. The movement has cut cg the
austrian armies operating south of
lrzemysl and along the River San. With
the German corps supporting the Aus
trlan forces this army OF the enemy ia
estimated at about 100000.
Two drives are now being made by the
Russians toward Berlin, one through East
Prussia and another through SllesIa. The
advance In East Prussia continues TO
meet with success. the Russian forces
steadily pressing forward. The Russian
'front.' Is now nearly 10 miles within East
Prussia. The enemy has been driven
from Wirballen, and the territory from
Wirballen to Lyck cleared of the Raiser's
troops
1t is admitted that the losses in the
great advance have been heavy. The
equipment of the Russian forces for win
ter campaigning has been q great advan-
tage to them over the Germans however.
The suffering In the ranks of the enemy
is declared to have been terrible. Tho
entire line of their retreat is marked by
bodies of unburied dead Owing to the
frozen ground, dead were left unburled
and wounded abandoned on the field died
from cold and exposure.
