NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Great Britain's
declaration Of war on Turkey shows it
is believed hopeless to rely on the peace
party at Constantinople holding the pro-
German Young Turks in check. Under
these circumstances, and with Russia
forcing the fighting along the Caucasian
frontier. Great Britains quick assumption
of the offensive contains advantageous
possibilities.
without suggesting rivalry In Russia 1t
is probable that there will be in reality
a race between the Russians by land and
the Anglo French forces by sea to cap
ture Constantinople. The mining of the
Dardanees has been designed to make
n successful water assault upon Constan-
tinople impossible Nevertheless, an
Anglo-Frnch fleet has begun shelling
the Dardanelles' defenses and 1t Is ap-
parent that Great Britain and France
will make every effort to seize the Darda-
nelles and compel Constantinople to sur
render to battleship squadron.
This is the only way the two Western
Powers can offset Russia's desire to sub
due Turkey single-handed. Neither French
nor British armies can be spared for
operations in Turkey and only the
Mediterranean fleet can be counted upon
to represent France and Great Britain in
the Turkish operations. n the feet sub
dues Constantinople the disposition OF
Turkey after the war will not be mat
ter concerning which Russia will have
paramount say. II Russian troops alone
overwhelm the Ottomans Slav desires
cannot be successfully resisted In the
peace conference.
The reluctance of the British Admiralty
to admit the victory of Admiral Won Spec
of the Chllan coast is due to the failure
OF all reports Of the conflict to mention
the British battleship Canopus. The
Canopus had been sent to reinforce Ad-
mral Cradocks squadron, but apparently
she was not there at the crisis. She
is armored with four 12-inch guns, and
had she been present at the battle her
fire would have given to the British
squadron that preponderance of artillery
which actually was possessed by the
Germans.

were followed by eight trains loaded with
ammunition and several carrying sub
marines and torpedo boats in sections,
together with crews and war materials.
IL Is believed here the Germans are
determined not only to hack their way
through to the coast cities, but that they
also plan operations against the English
coast
Torpedo boats and submarines have
been sent direct to Brugss, where al
ready quantities of naval reserves and

is an ideal naval base. It Is far enough

brugge by a deep canal.
II is reported seven German destroy
ers have been seen off the Belgian coast,
1t is supposed they have been used for
scouting purposes and that It Is the in
tention Of the Germans to send them into
Zeebrugge harbor to effect q junction
with other war craft there.
The Germans are building Notifications
along n line from ZeebrugRe to Dudzecle

Lyck to Biala.
PrTROGRAn. Nov. 5.

PETROGRAD, Nov. 3.
Fresh German offensive with forces re-
organized behind entrenchments on the
East Prusslan border has been repulsed.
1t is officially announced that the Ger
mans are again withdrawing into East
Prussia It is declared that they are
moving toward their original battle line
between Byck and Binla.
The official statement says:
"Tn East Prussia there has been sharp
collapse in the German operations. They
have abandoned their steady offensive
and began rapid retreat"
change has been noted since No
vemter on the East Prussian front,
where the enemy, which recently had
been on the offensive everywhere, has
begun to fall back at certain points.
This retreat is precipitate on the left
wing of the enemy, which was vigorously
thrown back toward Biala and Lyck
Russian troops took Bakalarjevo, cap
turing large quantity of arms and am
munition and making prisoners OF Ger
man company.
The position OF the defending army in
East Prussia makes the problem before
the German strategists only more hope
less.
1t urgently needs large reinforcements
but the Thorn garrison and the Saxon
troops are the only visible armies which
can save the defenders of Silesia from
a disastrous retreat toward the border

BERLIN, Nov. ..
An official report from the German
General Staf states that the Allies line
has been pierced, that a sortie from Nieu-
port was easily repulsed, and that steady
progress Is being made in the German
attacks from Ypres to the Vosges.
Discussing German operations about
Ypres, Major Mohrat military expert Of
the Tageblatt. says the Kaiser's forces
will drive the English back to the sea.
He asserts that the Germans are pounding
the French left wing ut Arras with prob
ability of success, and that the steady
German attacks along the Aisne east of
Bolssons are part OF the same campaign.
'Our progress here" he writes, must
give satisfaction to the Germans who
have not been delighted with the long
duration of the lighting"

to break through the angle Of the bent
battle line.
The Germans apparently have made a
slight gain west of Lens although It has
not been mentioned in official announce
ments from the War Office. There has
been artillery dueling there since Tues
day night.
North OF Arras. the Germans are main
tanning vigorous counter attacks in an
swer to the pressure of the French and
British. These counter attacks are un-
doubtedly intended to divert attention
from Belgium.
According to reports. the Germans are
still in Lille. the Allies having failed to
dislodge them, although they have been
attacking steadily for nearly three weeks.
The Germans have an immense amount
OF heavy artillery around Lille and Ar
ras, and the roar of these big guns is
incessant. There is national wonderment
as to where the invaders are getting all
their ammunition when they are SO far
away from their base.
The British and French men-of-war off
the coast are evidently keeping up a
continuous bombGrdment. Reports from
a Dutch source say that the sound OF
heavy guns can be heard every day to
the westward.
to the effect that General Won Rluk. who
commanded the German right wing on
the advance toward Paris, has been
killed, but there is no official confirmation.
Near Vailly the French again occupy
the south bank of the Aisne, having
been tw' a driven across that stream
by German conference.-the. The French
have been struggling hard to maintain
the offensive there, but the Germans,
despite 81 days in sodden trenches. are
still alive with the lighting spirit.
In the Argonne and on the Meuse the
lighting consists of alternate exchanges
of artillery fire and infantry charges.

By HILAIRE BELLoc

LONDON. Nov. 5.--The objective of the
German campaign in Russia has failed,
just as the objective deliberately under
taken by Germany in France has thus far
failed.
The Germans have encountered numer-
ical forces greater than their own in
Russia and in France. But neither the
Russian army nor the French army has
been able to force the German army to
decisive battle.
The Niemen River is the great natural
obstacle to any invasion of Russia from
the West. When Napoleon was occupied
in re-erecting Poland as a nationality,
he had imposed upon the Russians the
Niemen as a frontier between Russia and
Poland, though, as a matter of fact, the
Polish nation extends its territory far
to the east of that river.
1t was across the Niemen that Napoleon
marched his great force in June, 1912, and
one might almost say that the Niemen
was to the fortunes of Russia in history
what the Meuse is to the fortunes Of
France. To obtain possession of this
river and its crossing places, then, was
the object OF the German advance In this
quarter. All the country between the
East Prussian frontier and the Niemen
"a matter of over so miles even at the
narrowest point between the two lines in
this region) is a mass of water and wood
and marsh
The few roads available to an army
in its advance upon the Nlemen are here
of capital Importance.
The Russian General Rennenkampf. re-
treating from before the German ad-
vance, got his last troops over the Me
men and waited the approach Of the
enemy to that river. The point at which
they proposed to cross, or at least the
chief of the several points, was Druss-
keniki.
They had already thrown their pontoons
across when the conference.-the upon
the part Of the Russians began. The
opening of II was no more than the she'll
ing of the German p0ntoon bridges as
the Prussians were crossing them The
next phase after the success of this check
given to the invaders was a violent
artillery duel between the massed guns
OF either army firing from positions fac
ing each other across the river.
In the hope that their artillery had suf-
ficiently dominated the enemy's, the Ger
mans two days later began their prepara-
tions for a second crossing. This second
attempt was made at the end OF the day;
before night IL had failed as the first
had. From this check at Drusskeniki the
Germans fell back upon what has been
throughout all the intervening days re-
treat, sometimes so pressed as to involve
local disasters.
After four days of this retreat, the rear
guard OF the German retirement was at
Seiny. which means that the main body
had been covering quite 15 miles day
The whole business in its rapidity and
reverse was not unlike the great retreat
which we call in the West the battle OF
Marne. The retreat was also. of course.

There are no railways in this belt between

PARIS. Nov. 5.

PARIS, Nov 5.
Taking the offensive against the Ger
mans. the Allies have crossed the User
River. according to the official statement
this afternoon. 1t states that they have
advanced slightly to the east of Nieu-
port on the right bank OF the Yser
The statement also says that the Ger
mans also renewed their attacks Tuesday,
but with lessened energy.
The official communique follows:
On our left wing the Allied forces
have progressed slightly to the east of
Nieuport. on the right bank of the
User. From Dixmude to the river
Lys the German attacks were renewed
yesterday. but at number of points
lessened energy especially in infantry
operations. The Franco-Britlsh lines
have withdrawn at no point and our
troops, taking the offensive, have
made notable progress in several di-
rections between the region at La
Bassee and the river Somme.
The day was marked particularly
by an artillery battle in the region OF
Roye. We have maintained our occu-
patton of Quesnoy- -en-Santerre and
have advanced appreciably toward
Andeohy.
At the centre. between the Olse and
the Moselle Rivers, a recrudescence
ofGnctivity on the part of the Ger
mans is reported, manifested particu-
,darly In artillery fire.
Some attacks by the enemy at differ
ent points on our front have been
completely repulsed sometimes after
a conflict which lasted a whole day.
On our right wing there is nothing to
report.

been sent to the assistance of the armies
operating from Scissors north. 1t is re-
ported by the aerial scouts that the
Germans are bringing several divisions OF
reserve troops into position vaguely de-
scribed as "alOng left wing" and this is
interpreted by military chiefs as indi-
eating that the Germans still adhere to
their original plan of attempting to take
the coast cities. 1t was believed that
they had definitely abandoned 1t because
OF terrible losses already sustained, but
the bringing up of fresh relnforcements
convinces officials here that the German
strategy depends on possession OF the
coast as far south as Calais. This the
Allies are determined to prevent at any
cost.
