The Nineteenth Week Of War.

Most conspicuOusy in evidence at the
opening of the nineteenth week of the
war is the reported capture of LODI. in
Poland, by the German forces, after
many days of furious fighting. At one
time it seemed inevitable that the second
German invasion of Poland would be
turned into grave disaster to the kaiser's
armies, for the Russians had all but en-
circled large large portion of the ad-
vancing troops Owing, however, TO
hardness on the part of Gen. Rennen-
kampt, who has since been dishonored
for his fault, the development was not
completed and the German troops won
free and have since evidently reformed
their lines and been strengthened by re-
Inducements. The capture of LODI is
regarded as of the utmost Importance,
for it is rated as equivalent to opening
the way to Warsaw, which has from the
beginning been much desired German
objective. Petrograd is silent regarding
this late development, and this silence
must, for the present. be interpreted as
confrmatory of the German clam of suc-
cess.
In the western theater Of the war there
has been but little change, but that little
has been to the advantage of the allies
Late reports Indicate some advances
have been scored by the English and
French in Flanders and in the Argonne
district These changes of position are
not susceptible to Interpretation as indi
tons of general aggressive policy on
the part of the allies. but are more likely
TO be mere deYelments of local fighting,
There is. in fact, no sign that the allies
have begun their often heraidt advance
to driye the Germans back to their next
line of defense, in central Belgium.
Naval operations during he past week
have been of no moment but the nine-
teenth week Of the opens wsth the
stat-ment from Berlin to lie eff :ct th It
forty British and French warships are
gathering at some point unnamed with
the evident intention of forcing the r
way through" The censor has dpleted
the name of the object of attack but it
has been assumed that the Dardanellas
is the position signifed. This assump
ton is apparently borne out by the fol
/. lowing words of the dispatch: This
/ (the forcing of passage) is impossible, as
the Notifications have been greatly
strengthened and the waters thlckiy
strewn with mines" An attempt TO
to force the Dardanelles would uudonbt
eddy lead to one of the most spectacular
land and.uaval engagements of modern
times, perhaps in history. The waters
are narrow and the forts are believed 70
be powerful. That they contain Ger
man artillery commanded by German
officers is now accepted IN the light of
late developments showing close ALI
ance between Germany and Turkey.
Il Success in such an undertaking as the
dispatch seems to foreshadow, would
unquestionably have a material effect
upon the war in the eastern theater.
