Germans Prepare for Winter In Belgium According to Sur miSeS of StrategiStS - Rus SianS Meeting with Success

The critical stage in the battle in West Flanders has been reached and the next few days, if not hours. should produce something more decisive than has yet occurred. The Germans con tinue 10 attack with all forces at their command on the British and French who hold the line between Dixmude and Ypres, but with the exception of
 the capture of Dixmude, which oc- cured Tuesday, and some little pro- gress around Ypres they have not been able to make any material ad- vance.
 l The French official report this af- | ternoon says all attacks were repulsed ! The Germans are no longer utilizing ! green troops in this region, but have brought up the pick of their army,
 including some Prussian guards who l attempted an offensive against the | British, but without success. Both
 sides express satisfaction at the pro-
 gross of the battle.
 Berlin says the attacks of the Allies
 have been repulsed and that their own attacks are making headway:
 while in London and in Paris it is felt that so long as the Allies can hold ythe line of the canal from Nieuport to Ypres their position is a strong

 to East Prussia and has taken Joaun-
 isburg, which is on the railway from Lyck to Soldau, both of which towns
 are already in the hands of the Rus
 sians. This gives Russia control of
 the important railway line which
 skirts the frontier in German terri tory. and several branch railways run
 ming into the interior.
 The central army which drove the lGermans back from the Nistula has had only unimportant engagements but it is known to be pushing forward to the borders Of the Posensilicia. which the Germans are crossing. The Russian left wing has followed the Kielce railway to the Austrian from tier within a few miles of Cracow siege of which is imminent. The southern army under General Ruzsky is at Rzeszow, between Prze- Imysl and Cracow, its crossing of the San river being opposed by the Aus trians. Another detachment continues the siege of Przemysl while still an- other is operating against Austrians who are holding the passes of the Car
 
 lpathians.
 The army of Armenia, whose base
 is on Kars and Transcaucasia is ap- proaching the Turkish fortress Erze- rum. The manner in which Grand Duke Nicholas, Russian commander lin chief is welding these armies and the mobility they are showing, is the subject of admiration on the part of
