GERMANY PLAYS A
LOSING BATTLE
GAME
CHANGING OF TROOPS FROM ONE
ARENA TO THE OTHER
PROVING FUTILE

London, Nov. 1.-THE slackening
Of the Teutons' offense in the west
noted in yesterdays official reports
from the allies headquarters, is re-
garded here as due to the fact that
Germany is obliged to maintain bat
tie fronts so far apart as east Prus-
STA and the North sea.
Huge bodies of German troops have
been alternately thrown across the
intervening thousand miles to coun.
teract the nature of a positive sue
cess gained at either end. Germany's
commanding superiority in numbers
in the earlier stages made good prog
ress possible, but she is playing a
losing game.
Military observers assert the view
that Russia on one side and the
armies Of the nations on the other
side, now having had time in which
to mobilize their forces more fully,
the effectiveness of this purpose of
shifting large bodies from one theater
to the other is no longer SO pronounc-
ed and that thinning OF the German
line on either side must mean hereafter
at least a temporary assumption Of
the offensive by the allies.
For the moment Berlin, according
to English opinion, appears to regard
the Russian menace as Of paramount
Importance. The allies. however, are
finding the German defensive as stub
born and difficult to penetrate as the
Germans found the British and French
lines during the recent deadly but fu-
tile efforts around Ypres.
The intimations of the official re-
ports are considered as more proniis-
ing from the allies point Of view, and
there Is a disposition to think that
the turning point soon may be reach
ed which will open a new phase OF
the long drawn battle.
