ENGLAND
HOPEFUL
BELIEVES If ALLIES CAN HOLD
THE GERMANS FROM INVADING
FRANCE, RUSSIAN ARMY WILL
CRUSH THEM FROM THE REAR.

London, Aug. 26.-2;22 ANA
closer veil than ever seems to have
been drawn over the progress of the
war. Little news has come to hand
concerning the operations on either
front. The Russians, however. appear
to be continuing their advance in
East Prussia towards Posen with the
Germans in retreat.
The only news from the French bl-
reaus Is that the French troops were
attacked along the Alsace1 .orraine
line, but repulsed all attacks success
fully. There is no indication that
the German attack was i'm any great
force, but if it was the French sue
cess shows they now are in a strong
position along this frontier, from
which they will he driven only by
great sacrifices on the part of tbs
Germans.
A more hopeful feeling prevails in
England as to the strength of the
French defensive position. The re-
Pulse the French suffered at Char
leroi has been partly due to the de-
sire of the French army to achieve
a brilliant incursion into Aisace and
Lorraine which led them to weaken
their forces on the Belgian frontier.
Having recognized the danger of this
course. they now have reverted to
what appears to be more legitimate
strategic, abandoning their invasion
OF the lost provinces and concentrate
ing their strength in the defense of
the northern frontier.
While 1t cannot be said that the
British people regard the absence of
news and the Withholding of the list
of British casualties with compla-
cence, they display a large store OF
patience and confidence in Kitchener
and the war office and the feeling 9;
depression evident on the first news
OF the reverse suffered by the allies
to some extent has disappeared now
that it is known the Germans must
make tremendous sacrifices. Much 10
also hoped from the unexpected
progress of the Russian armies in
Prussia and the fact that the Aus
trians have been compelled to aban.
don their campaign against Seryia
The belief is held here that eve
should the Germans succeed in reach
ing Paris the Russians will almost
reach Berlin.

Ennland More AonefuI

London, Aug. 27.-1.50 am.--"Tha
allies in their present entrenched po-
s:tions are as the anvil to the Musco-
vte hammer" declares the Daily
Graphics military correspondent.
ut is good news,' he continues,
that the concentration of the allies
on entrenched lines within the
French frontier is complete and that
the positions thus held are little less
than impregnable The Germans VIII
find that their next move against the
allies will be much more difficult
than that which confronted them a
week ago.
General Joffre's troops now will
be devoting ali their energy to
stubborn defensive. They are the
anvil. The Museoyite hammer is
gathering all its immense force for
crushing blow in Posnani. Hence it
is most important that the allied
forces should stand firm.
The hammer is doing excellently.
though the preliminary work neces-
sarily is SLOW because the Russians
lack facilities for mobilization.
Nevertheless, the progress thus
far made by Russia has exceeded the
| most optimistic expectations and the
| Germans are likely to pay dearly for
| their undervaluation of Russian ei.
forts.
| "The outstanding fact is that the
hammer is we'll poised for action. II
the anvil only stands firm the enemy
must be speedily crushed between
them.
Here is the situation of the three
Isided Russian advance:
'At present east Prussia Is m pro.
cess of being cleared OF German
troops, while in Posen another Rus
sian army is moving almost unop-
posed and soon will be within ioV
miles of Berlin. Meanwhile, IN ia
