That the Germans crossed this barrier

they have been able to push forward, or
whether they have met such opposition
from the British and Belgian armies as
to be held from swaying beyond the west

War Summary

The supreme efforts OF the
fighting men OF five nations have
failed TO turn the tide OF battle
along the Franco Belgian border.
Latest reports yesterday we're
that a struggle of unparalleled
fury was still in progress along
the North Sea. where the Ger
mans with reckless bravery are
flinging their troops against the
allies forces. The French official
statement indicates an attempt to
cut off the German right wing has
made some progress. If, az said,
the allies have establishe front
from Ypres 20 Roulers, the Ger
man line has been thrust back in
a sharp angle, the point OF which
Is considerably to the northward
OF their forces on the shore of the
North Sea.
German and Austrian forces, 1t
ia said, have nova strong wall OF
troops along a well established
line which stretches from the
northern spurs OF the Carpath-
ians before the long disputed
fortress of PrEemysl and on into
the district of Plock. Before this
line Is arrayed the main army Of
the Russians. now said to have
been reinforced by troops from
the Caucasus, Siberia and Turk
estan. The Austrians claim sue
cesses in eungements TO the
northeast of Prgemysl and on the
lower San.
Latest dispatches from Petro-
grad say that the Germans are
continuing their precipitate re-
treat and have evacuated LODI, in
Poland. An attempt by the Ger
mans to check the Russian ad-
vance, 1t Is said, was unsuccess-
full.
No word had come yesterday
afternoon of the fighting at
Tsing-Tau. where small German
garrison is attempting to stand
off attacks by land and sea from
the combined Japanese and Brit
lsh forces. Recent reports that
relations between China aud
Japan were being strained we're
Strengthened by word from Pekin
that the Chinese foreign minister
had demanded the surrender of q
Japanese torpedo boat which en-
tered Chinese waters and at

Germans to escape destruction by
the Japanese.
