ARMIES RESTING
Continued from Page y


The small forces which have been
left to hold the line from the Disc to
the Mouse while the greater battle is
proceeding have been engaging in
night attacks at different points. the
advantage sometimes going to the one
and sometimes to the other. 1t is said
that in one of >these night attacks.
near Craonne, the Germans lost 1000
men.
Along the Mouse the French are ad-
yancing slowly between Apremont and
st. Mihel in their effort to cut off the
Germans, who are holding the latter
place.
The German official report issued to-
day says that the Germans were fore
ed to withdraw in Poland in the face
of Russian reinforcements This is the
first mention from this source of the
battle in that region since the Ger
man advance ON Warsaw was frus-
trated by large numbers of fresh Rus
sian troops.
The Russians claim to be making
progress against the Austrians, who
advanced through Galicia and attack
ed their left wing, and on the East
Prussian frontier they also say that
they have repulsed the German offef-
sive from that quarter. The Russians,
having had plenty Of time, are bring
ing up immense numbers of men and
are therefore able to take the defen-
sive or the offensive on the long front
reaching from the Baltic to the Car
pathians.

drawn into the conflict. 1t is report
ed that the Germans have invaded
Angola, one of Portugal's African pos
sessions: that there has been fighting
on the borders of the German and
Belgian colonies in that continent, and
that the British and Germans have
been having more skirmishes.
The most serious affair, however, is
the rebellion in the Union of South
Africa, although Premier Botha, who
withheld the news of the rising led
by Generals De Wit and Beyers until
he had himself got into action seems
to have inflicted a severe defeat on
Gen. Beyers completely routing his
command and taking a number of pri-
soners.
The invasion Of Angola was not I'M
expected. for Portugal had declared
her intention of helping the Allies and
in view of the possibility of Ger
man attack on her colonies had sent
reinforcements to her garrisons. Por-
tugal, if the report of the German in
vasion is true, is the ninth nation to
be drawn into the war and there IS
still danger of others following. Hol-
land is growing uneasy in the fear
that her neutrality may be violated.
The mouth of the Scheldt which the
Germans, now that they have Antwerp,
would find of much service to them
and the eastern border of The Meth
erlands, where the Germans are mass
ing troops, are the danger points The
Dutch government declares it is pre-
pared to guard the conntry's neutrality
at any cost.
