FLEET NEARS THE
GERMAN SQUADRON
tContinued frow Page one).

Every confidence is felt here that the
Russians now hold the advantage. but
II Is realized that the conflict in the
eastern theater is far from decision.
When the big battle is finally fought
and the result and details are learned.
II Is believed IL will prove TO be the
most sanguinary conflict OF the war.
It's influence upon the entire situa.
ton will also be OF the greatest i'm.
portance Some military experts be-
lieve that the Germans are now mark
ing time in the west awaiting the
outcome of Gen. Won Hindenberg' $
conflict with the Russians. Defeat In
the east, II is believed. will be fol
lowed by immediate retirement OF the
Germans TO their second line OF de-
lenses IN Belgium. The kaiser would
then be completely on the defensive
on both fronts.
The departure OF the king for the
front and his visit 10 the troops Is be-
lieved 10 foreshadow an early offen-
sive movement by the allies. 1t Is
realized that such a movement will
not be attempted until Gems. Joffre
and French are convinced that the
strength OF the Germans has reached
a low ebb in their vain efforts TO
reach the coast by hurting vast forces
against the allied lines. The German
attack has now lost a greater part OF
Its force. and with French and British
troops constantly arriving the time
for the allies to strike is believed to
be rapidly approaching.
King George spent but one day al
the front and Is now probably on his
way back TO England. He landed in
northern France (place not named)
where he was met by members OF the
staff OF Gen. French and the prince
OF Wales. who accompanied his faith
er on a visit TO the military hospitals.
