THE WAITING GAME
IS BEING PLAYED
BY ALLIED ARMY
n EAVY ARTILLERY HAS BECOME,
SUPREME IN BIG BATTLE
NOW RAGING.
ALLIES OUTNUMBER GERMANS
Therefore They Are Content to Play
Waiting Game-A London Report
Says the Russians Are Still Pushing
Germans Back.

A-SAihOAA, wv. w lJll lIlc execution
OF the left wing of the allied army
where there is reason to believe live.
ly actions are being fought, the great
battle front in the western arena of
war may today be described as a gi-
gantic ''snip.ng' engagement in which
rlflemen have been replaced by heavy
artillery masked along the heights of
the Aisne and the Meuse. These de,
sultory artillery duals seem to have
succeeded the desperate infantry
charges during the early stages OF
the battle
One result of the present stage of
operations has been a very apprecia-
bic diminution in the casualties. OBJ
servers recently at the front declare
the allies are we'll content to play
this waiting game; they now outnum-
6e1 the Germans and for that reason
can give their troops rest while the
invaders must keep their men con-
stantly in the trenches. The most i'm
portant development of the fighting in
France is the reported movement of
Il German army, said to be 10000
strong, southwark through Belgium
by way Of Temple Neuve and Tour
mai in the direction Of the French bor-
der. Berlin military critics predicted
recently that the allies would meet
disaster if they stretched their line
on the left wing too far and it is be-
lieved here that the Germans are now
seeking to crush the enveloping move
ment which has been closing around
Gen. Won Kluck, the commander of
the German right, for the past three
weeks. The latest official Paris COM
munication ignores this movement. 1t
declares that the situation in this To-
cality remains the same, but adds that
the fighting along the left wing north
of the Disc is becoming more and
more violent. Calm prevails in the
center with the allies gaining a little
ground in the northern part of the
heights Of the Meuse.
Count Zeppelin is at Wilhelmshaven
on the North sea, where his staff is
working day and night preparing a
great German air fleet, presumably
for a raid on England.
Following England's lead in the
North sea where she felt compelled
to initiate the German procedure of
mine laying, France has announced a
similar course in the Adriatic where
several trading ships have recently
been blown up by mines
The Cnly positive news made public
in Lo7don from the eastern arena con
sists Of reports that the two Russian
columns invading Hungary are con-
verging on Hossunezzo and Huszt,
towns about $50 miles from Budapest.
Those repC"ts declare the Russians
are ATTEMPTING junction with Serv-
ian troops reported to be advancing
from Zemlin, but that seems scarcely
likely because of the distance to be
covered.
Indirect rerOrts current in London
declare the Russians still pushing the
German forces back in the direction
Of East Prussia. The Germans are de-
clared 20 be greatly handicapped in
this retiring movement because of
the enormous number of horses which
have died in the swampy country
around Suwalki Much OF their artil-
lery had to be abandoned.
Another whisper of peace has been
heard as a result Of the efforts of the
German peace association whose pres
ident has teen at The Hague to bring
about a meeting of international paci-
fiicists. This meeting, however, is said
to have failed because of transporta-
tion difficulties. The same reason has
led to abandonment of the attempt
to convoke the Berne peace bureau
The only other political news of
importance is a rumor that the
French government will shortly move
back to Paris.
