WARS LATE PHASES

JAPAN.-The question of Japan send
ing an army to Belgium is receiv-
ing added attention since the fall
of Tsing-tau. In military circles
the idea finds much support and it
is thought that the move will be
welcomed by France. The German
Legation at Pekin that
the garrison of Tsing-tau consisted
Of from $500 to 1890 men and that
the town was not badly damaged by
the bombardment.
misunderstanding to the official
communicates, the campaign is ia
vorable to the Allies. They have
maintained their position between
the River Lys and Langermarck and
made important advances between
Langemarck and Dixmude. The
communique says that the French
advance is slow because of the Of
fensive taken by the Germans and
the important strengthening of their
line that has been made around
points of support. In Alsace the
Germans have again attacked the
heights of Sainte Marie Pass and
were defeated.
TURKEY.-A Turkish army, accord
ing to dispatches from Rome, has
crossed the frontier into Egypt. The
Russian fleet in the Black Sea, it
is said, has sought refuge in the
military ports of Russia, and the
Ottoman fleet has bombarded Poti,
causing heavy damage. Reports
from Athens say that the British
and French warships have almost
completed the destruction of the
forts on the D~ardanelles and that
marines will soon be landed on the
Trojan plains, the site of the
ancient city of Troy. 1t is said that
an economic crisis threatens the
Ottoman empire. The employees of
the Turkish Government have re-
ceived no salaries for several
months and the large sums bor-
rowed from Germany at the begin,
ming of the war have been spent.
GERMANY.-A despatch from Berlin
that a strong Russian
force north of Lake Wysztyten was
repulsed with heavy losses. the Ger
mans taking more than 1000 pris-
oners and ten machine guns. A
despatch from Amsterdam says that
the transportation of German troops
from the western battle line toward
the east is proceeding on a large
scale. Military trains full of men
and munitions of val are going to
Germany daily from Belgium by way
of Brussels and Louvain.

Thinks Wars End
Is Not in Sigh
Sudden Collapse of Germany Is Not
Expected by Col.
Werner.

London. - Col. Willoughby Werner,
who was formerly military professor
at Sandhurst, and who was on Lord
Wolseley's staff in the Gordon relief
expedition and on the headquarters
staff during the Boer war, in speak
ing of the duration If the wal de-
clared:
"Artemus Ward said, never prophe-
sy unless you know In war one
never knows.
81 think that in the western theatre
of war the Germans will be driven
back by stages to the splendid natural
line of defense and prepared fortifica-
lions which guard the Rhine. Then
the military situation there will not
improbably become a stalemate-at
any rate until such time as the Allies
can bring a vastly preponderating
force to bear.
Thus at present it is impossible to
say how long the war will last, but l
can see no justification for those who
look forward to the sudden collapse
of Germany in the near future"

ON VERDUN BEGUN,
SAYS GERMAN WAR EXPERT

Berlin, (via The Hague and London).
The military critic of the 'Lokal An
zeiger" expresses the opinion that the
capture of Vienne-le Chateau, in the
Argonne, is an important factor in the
German attempt to isolate Verdun
from the west. 1t lies about twenty
two miles west of Verdun, on a pro-
nounced rocky ridge connecting Yer
dun with the French forces on the
Aisne.
This critic, however, warns against
considering the capture of Vienne-le-
Chateau as a breach through the
French lines, for the reason that a
number of other points on the same
ridge also must be taken in such a
movement. The steep western bank
of the River Mouse, opposite st. Mi
hiel, also must be cleared Of French
troops, and German progress in this
wooded and hilly country can be won
only by troops willing to purchase ev-
cry foot Of ground with their blood.
