WORLD MAY Be
DRAWN into WAR
Peace Agreement Of Triple Entente May
Draw Entire World Into
ef
European War
GERMANS Being SURROUNDED
Second Army of British and Russians
is Closing in on Rear of
German Army


When officials of the United States
learned that the triple entente compris-
ing England, France and Russia had
signed an agreement in which neither
of these countries would enter into a
peace agreement unless all three had
previously accepted the agreement
they were considerably worried and
it is the general belief that this means
q long drawn out<war and may include
the entire world before the end is
reached.
The British war office has made the
announcement that the casualties OF
the British army in France up to Sep
TENDER first was $4,000. This, however,
it was stated by the British officials,
is hardly one-third of the losses of the
Germans. Another call has been made
by both Great Britain and France for
more soldiers and while France called
for quarter of million Great Brit
ain placed 10 limit on the number Of
recruits wanted.
The situation before Paris is becom-
ing more complicated every day and
it now begins to appear that the Ger
mans will soon find themselves faced
by an almost invincible army entrench-
ed before the forts of Paris, while in
the rear their retreat will be cut off
by an army of 10000 Russians, who
are now on their way from England. A
greater portion Of the German army in
North Belgium has been withdrawn
and hurried into Galicia to assist the
Austrians in their steady progress
through Galicia.
Paris Prepares for Siege
Every preparation has been made
for the last stand of Paris. The seat
of government has been moved from
Paris to Bordeaux, where the French
officials, as we'll as the legations of
other countries have fed with the ex-
ception of United States Ambassador
tary governor of Paris. Through ev-
cry possible channel troops are pour
ing into the French city to strengthen
the garrison now on duty there. On
the outside of the city the activities
in preparation for defense against Ger
man invasion is even greater. All of
the homes within the range Of the
third and second line of forts before
Paris have been RACED. Hundreds of
thousands Of men have been engaged
in digging miles Of trenches before
the city.
The japanese during the past week
have been pouring thousands Of SOL
diers into Lung Kow, China, and are
assembling their forces for desper-
ate encounter with the German fore
es in China. Reports have been re-
ceived that there are many other trans
ports ready to sail and that their des-
tination is unknown. The theory has
been advanced that the Japanese will
go to France to support their allies
before Paris. However, more prob
able suggestion is that the Japanese
are preparing to protect the French
and British interests in Asia and In
dia.
While the operations of the Russian
armies in East Prussia against the Ger
man forces have been On the verge of
a disaster and the Russian military au-
thorities admit demoraliZing defeat,
the news brought from the Russian
army fighting it's way through Austrian
Galicia has been that of great victo-
ries. So overwhelming has been the
defeat administered to the Austrian ar
mics in Galicia by the Russians that
it is not thought possible the Austri-
ans will be able to interfere but very
little with Russian progress.
With the capture of Lemberg, the
capital and strategic point in Austrian
Galicia and the complete rupture of
the Austrian forces in Gal1cia, the Rus
slams will now be able to continue
their march ON Berlin with even great
er speed. The kaiser has been aware
that a great danger lies in that direc-
ton. and has been withdrawing troops
from the northern portion of Belgium
and hurrying them to reinforce the
German troops already on duty on the
Russian and Austrian frontiers.
Australians to Reinforce British
Vancouver, B. Cit is known here
that large numbers Of Australian and
New Zealand volunteers are on the wa
ter bound for Vancouver and then
across Canada to Europe. Shipment
of Russian forces from Vladivostok via
Vancouver is being considered.
So far as known here, the British
government has no intention of trans
porting East Indian troops by way of
Canada. The distance between Bonn
bay and England via the Suez canal
is much shorter. No East Indian or
Russian -roeps have been landed at
Vancouver
