Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Misunderstanding forward by mere
weight OF numbers the German ad-
vance across Belgium is slowly but
steadily proceeding, and must come in
contact with the. allied armies, which
according to an official communication
from Brussels, are in battle order.
The Bclgians in the outpost skirmish-
ing are said to have inflicted severe
checks on the German forces, but on
the whole the German wing kept on
its way and reached line from north
of Namur to Haelen.
Further south French troops have
entered Belgium through Charleroi,
going to the relief of their neighbors
and TO aid in any attack directed to-
ward Namur, while in the East the
ffrench are reported to have secured
Possession of ridges in the Vosges
Mountains and to hold the passes of
Bonhomme and Sainte Marie-au-
Mi@s, through which important roads
pa1s and which it is declared gives
them great strategic advantages.
Military strategists are of the opin-
ion that the Germans are meeting
with delay which they did not count
upon, and that every day the Belgians
keep them lighting means an increase
, of Russian forces on their Eastern
frontier, They express the belief that
unless Germany soon disposes of Bel
GUM and France she will have to
choose between withdrawing a great
| part of her army from the West or
leaving tho road to Berlin open to the
: forces of 'the Gar of Russia. Already
hordes of Russians are reported to be
marching toward Prussia on the one
side and to Austrian Galicia on the
other, In the latter country, they are
ksaid to be in the vicinity of the Styr
liver, which is on the route to Lin
burg.Y
Z The official news bureau of the army
and admiralty has issued warning
to the public against placing the slight
/. est reliance IN the many rumors cur
TENT daily regarding alleged victories
or defeats, or concerning the arriva
-sof wounded soldiers or disabled ships
of Great Britain These are, without
exception, baseless,"- the warning says
The probable attitude of Japan ant
Italy is still the subject of much spec
ulatf2p. Conversations are going OF
continuously between Japan and Grea
Britain concerning Japan's duty under
ker alliance with Great Britain. There
are persistent rumors that Italy vii
join the Triple Entente. The Italian
ambassador is frequent caller at the
Foreign Office
If it should prove correct that Tur
key has purchased the German crui
ser Goeben and Breslau, war between
Greece and Turkey is said to be likely
for Greece sees in the move an at
tempt on the part of Turkey to recove
some of her islands taken in the las
war. Russia, to meet such contin
gency, would send troops to the Rou
manian frontier.
