War Summary

One of the most important bat
ties of the European war con-
tinues today east OF Paris, along
the front OF the allied armies, ex-
tending from Nanteuil lie Hau-
douin to Verdun The Germans
in their turning movement have
swept through the entire Com
peigne country and the five Ger
man columns are now hurting
their strength against the front
of the allied forces, which ex-
tends for a distance of lao miles.
The meager news filtering in
from, the zone of the fighting to-
day indicates that the allies have
gained decided success against
the German right wing, which is
reported to have suffered heavily
in attempting to cross the river
Marne.
A report which was passed by
the French and British censors
says that 100000 Russian troops
have been landed In France, pre-
sumably with the object of flank
ing the Germans in Belgian ter
ritory.
In the eastern theater of the
war the Russians, following their
brilliant success at Lemberg, the
capital of Austrian Galicia, are
throwing their forces against the
first Austrian army which for
three days has been desperately
trying to break through the Rus
sian line between Lublin and
Kholm. Details of the fighting
around Lemberg contain the
statement that the Russians took
$4,000 Austrian prisoners.
On the other hand, advices re-
ceived from Berlin by the Ger
man embassy at Washington, say
that the Austrian eastern army
advancing on Russian territory,
repulsed a violent Russian attack
and captured many Russian pris-
oners.
Reports from the Balkans say
that the Turks are concentrating
$4,000 men along the Tchatalja
lines, outside Constantinople,
with a view to opposing a pos
sible Russian landing on the
Black sea coast.

Cured between Emperor william
