Allies Holding Their Own

London.-The correspondent of The
Times in France sends the following
regarding the fighting on the Aisne:
"On the whole, the allies have the
advantage. The French capture Of
Questcy-en-SanteTe was a good deal
bigger affair than reported. On the
other hand, the enemy's accounts OF
great victory at Vailly were eXag-
gerated. They obtained a temporart
advantage, but the allies have more
than regained the original positions" !"

ship, in the western extremity Of the

These two raiders, especially the
Emden, have many successes to their
credit and their skill in eyading the
net thrown out for them has been a
matter of chagrin to British naval
men.
The Emden's end came in battle as

London.-While the battle in West

London.-While the battle in West
Flanders continues to hold public at
tention because of the desperate char
acter of the fighting, the numbers OF
men engaged and the territory at
stake, military men now look on East
Prussia as the center Of gravity Oh
the war.
In the latter field tremendous
battle is developing. The Russians
are pushing vigorously a great er'
veloping movement. They are er
gagged with the Germans along a wide
curve of $50 miles from Stalluponen,
in the northeast, through Goldap and
Kruglanken, which is we'll within the
tangle of lakes, down to Soldau in
the southwest.
Military observers say the Germans
apparently have checked their retreat
in Poland and are counter-attacking.
They say, however, that the Russians
are not to be turned from their plan.
which is believed to be an attack on
Danzig. They argue that the Germans
either must allow East Prussia to be
oyerrun second time or bring up
reinforcements, and that they hardly
can weaken their army along the
Polish frontier, for that would leave
Posen and Silesia open to invasion.
The allies, naturally, are hoping an
effort will be made to relieve East
Prussia at sacrifice to the German
armies in Belgium and France.
In any fighting in their own coun-
try the Germans will have the advan-
tage over the Russians, as they have
network Of strategic railways to
move their troops quickly, and they
use more motors than their oppon-
ents. Military men are watching oper-
ations in this region with deepest
interest.
